The Fujifilm X-T1 + 35mm F1.4 in Bangkok

Here's a line of tuktuks waiting outside of the Platinum Plaza in Bangkok.

Taking The Fujifilm X-T1 For A Spin In New Zealand!

Recently bought a used Fujifilm X-T1 and brought it to my recent honeymoon trip in New Zealand!

I have been eyeing to switch to the mirrorless system for quite sometime. I tried the Olympus OM-D EM5 and did not quite like it. But it is different with the Fujifilm X-T1. I used the HS50 EXR before and know that Fujifilm camera produces very nice colours and their film simulation algorithm is very good. Also, the sensor size is larger than the Olympus.

For this trip I brought the XF27mm f2.8 and the XC50-230mm with me. It is a huge reduction in load if I were to bring my Nikon Gear (D7100 + DX 35mm... and I do not have a telephoto that is fit for travelling.. my only telephoto on the Nikon is the Tamron 150-600mm).

I must say, I enjoyed the trip thoroughly. Enjoyed the friendliness of the New Zealanders, enjoyed the awesome landscape, enjoyed the company (my wife), and enjoyed being able to take photographs for keepsake with the Fujifilm X-T1.

So, here are some pictures to share.

I like the Classic Chrome Film Simulation very much, and used it extensively for the trip.

Enjoy!
