I come from a zoom background. I have almost always used zooms with my dSLR gear. I had the odd prime knocking around, but the zoom was my mainstay.  That was until I started using the Fujifilm X100 and X-Pro1 gear.  I totally fell for the prime lens.  I just love using primes now, the [...]

Just for fun, I shot a quick comparison of the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 on the D800 against the Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 and the Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4. Below are the three images I took – all shot at f/5.6 1/60th ISO 200 with a Nikon SB900 set at 1/32nd in manual mode.  All are jpegs straight [...]

DO NOTE – Fuji say that you have [...]
