Fujifilm X-T1

After eight years of being the proud owner of a Nikon DSLR, I finally decided to get a new camera. I switched camp to Fujifilm. To a mirrorless camera. That's right, no more Nikon for me. I had many fond memories with my good old Nikon D40 for it had accompanied me to many places and countries.

I decided on the Fujifilm X-T1, which is a mirrorless camera model for the mobility and the quality of images. The camera is small in size and lightweight at about 440g only (including battery and memory card). This is what Ken Rockwell said about the camera.

When I got the X-T1, I bought only the camera body and not the kit lens. For the lens I decided on the Fujinon XF18mm F2 R, which is also known as a pancake lens because of its small size. It's a wide angle prime lens perfect for landscapes, general snapshots and close-ups. I plan to do lots of street photography, so I hope to get many good shots with this lens.

Here's what Ken Rockwell said about the lens: “While this fast all-metal lens isn't quite as optically spectacular as the extraordinary Fuji 35mm f/1.4, it's very sharp, has far less distortion than SLR lenses, focuses super-close, and has no visible light falloff.”
