This camera has got me freaking out. Why? Well, over the next couple of weeks I'll be posting some images that has impressed me so much, I'm now thinking about selling everything else and buying a second X-E1 and all of their lenses.
I went on my usual walk around the west harbour in Frankfurt to test the Fujifilm X-E1 and the 18-55 f/2.8-4.0 kit lens. Don't bother looking at the images on the rear LCD, you'll just be disappointed. Although some people love to shoot this camera in jpg mode I still prefer raw and I'm glad that I did. These raw files have so much latitude in them I just couldn't believe it at first. They are rich, very Leica-like in texture and I really feel that this is no ordinary kit lens. I think most users have realized this by now because if you buy the lens on it's own, you'll have to pay some €600 for it at the time of this post.
Let's start with the first image.
