I had to postpone or cancel my entire calendar of projects pretty much overnight. Like most photographers, the pandemic had a sudden and dramatic effect on my photography life as a travel photographer is significantly more difficult when most of the world’s borders close within days of each other. My Fujifilm cameras were taking me all over the world and then the pandemic hit! I have been fortunate enough to undertake projects across six continents and a couple of years ago Fujifilm South Africa approached me to become an official brand ambassador as part of their X-Photographer programme. I had transitioned from the studio-based photography of my DSLR days to becoming a full-time documentary and travel photographer. However, in the hand, it brought a sense of emotion to my photography I simply hadn’t felt using my somewhat clinical DSLR.įast forward a decade and I was all-in with Fujifilm.
Let’s be honest, the original X100 was quirky to use, to say the least, and the feature set was nothing to write home about. I bought it on a whim but I can honestly say it changed my photography forever. I would love to say that the technical specifications first drew me to that original model but in truth, I simply loved the aesthetics of this vintage-inspired camera.Īt the time, I was lugging around a big, heavy camera bag full of DSLR bodies and lenses, and something was appealing about the fixed lens, compact size and vintage feel of the X100. My journey with the X Series started way back in 2011 when Fujifilm released the very first iteration of the X100. This may be something of a long read as I take you full circle with the X100V and why I chose it as my only camera for a travel assignment to Ireland.

Is the Fujifilm X100V a secret macro camera? From the look of these photos, it certainly does deliver results that have a macro look to them. The difference between the two cameras is incredible when you see the images, despite the fact they both have 23mm Fujinon lenses. He then contrasts this by showing us the same concept with the Fujifilm X-T3 with the 23mm f/1.4 lens attached. Moving the camera closer and closer to the figurines, Gabha takes a series of photos showing just how close the X100V can focus. In his latest video, Harmeet Gabha brilliantly demonstrates this short focusing distance using Lego figurines as models. What you may not know about the X100V is that it can focus at a distance of just 10 cm (4 inches). The X100V boasts some impressive features, including a leaf shutter, a fast 23mm f/2 Fujinon lens, and Fujifilm’s famous range of JPG film simulations.
