The Cameras That I Use

A PairA Pair

When I was in high school I had an old Pentax Spotmatic II. I'd take my photos and then use the school's darkroom to develop them. It was fun and intricate and I learned a lot from having to do every step myself.

Then for a long time, nothing. My father loved photography and he left me a little collection of vintage camera; a Leica, a Rolleiflex, and an old Hasselblad. He also left me a Fuji XPro-2.

That XPro-2 brought me back to photography. I love the rangefinder type of camera, and the film simulations that the XPro-2 can produce captivated me. 

I've added a few more things to my bag, and now I use,

  • Fuji XPro-2. I love this camera like the old friend that it is
  • Fuji XE-4. Compact, travels well, comes to my hand smoothly

I've got a little collection of lenses,

  • Fuji XF 18 - 135mm, 35mm, and 27mm
  • TTArtisans 50mm

And some vintage glass thats a ton of fun to play with,

  • MIR 1-B 37mm
  • Helios 44M-2 and a 44M-6 58mm
  • Jupiter 37-A 135mm

The XE-4 with the 27mm lens has become my everyday carry, and I use it 80% of the time. Because so much of my photos are 'street' I need something light and fast, to capture a moment. When I'm feeling deliberate I bring out the XPro-2. Regardless, I really enjoy the Fuji experience and they really suit the way I personally like to take photos.
