Two weeks ago I traded my Leica Q and got myself back into a Fuji X-Pro3, which is a camera I have missed ever since I sold it a little over a year ago. I shoot it essentially like a film camera. I only use the OVF, I never open the screen, and I only dump my cards and edit the photos every week or so. It is a really fun and freeing experience.

The main reason I was excited to have an X-Pro3 again was that I get to use my beloved 35mm f1.4. I made a video about that lens that kinda blew up on YouTube. It is my favorite lens of all time and I am so happy to be using it again. It has even more imperfections and flaws than I remembered but in the best way possible.

It can’t be my only setup. I need better autofocus and speed, not only for work but even for just capturing my crazy kids. But when I want to go out into the world and and try to make art this is the perfect setup right now for me.
