    Chinese wedding, Sony A9!

    The Fuji is VERY good value for money. Yes the hit rate isn’t as good as the Sony, but it’s certainly better than my Mark iii was! The size of the body with the 23mm 1.4 was perfect for sneaking around. The 35mm 1.4 for my Sony is way to big and I’m hoping the rumoured 35mm 1.8 is much smaller...

    Chinese wedding, Sony A9!

    The noise performance on the fuji is much nicer than my Mark iii. It’s more like a film grain without the colour noise so looks cleaner. Bad light is bad light, all cameras will suffer when it’s like that, but I’ve had shots at 6400 on fuji and they’ve been fine, also had shots were they’ve been...

    Chinese wedding, Sony A9!

    Thanks! Surprisingly, the dog pooping photo has gone down the best with people on social media :ROFLMAO: I guess they're enjoying something a little different! The laughing shots are all natural though during the drinks reception. Hey! Thanks :) I moved from the Canon Mark iii in September...

    Chinese wedding, Sony A9!

    A little preview of my last wedding shot on the Sony A9. I recently moved back to full frame from the Fuji XT3.

    Made the switch from Nikon to Fuji

    I used Fuji for 18 months but moved to Sony to last week as I missed full frame. For the price, the XT3 is a apsc BEAST. Focusing is snapping on the XT3 and the size, weight and shutter sound are amazing. I found lowering the detail slider right down when sharpening gave a cleaner image...

    Fuji and/or Nikon

    I'm staying mirrorless but moving full frame for the extra light and the look I get with wider lenses. I've just bought the Sony A9... couldn't go back to a DSLR now, mirrorless is the future, you unlock more features when you remove the mirrorbox. Nothing wrong with a DSLR but I think...

    Fuji and/or Nikon

    With both cameras being APS-C sized sensors, I'd personally invest in Fujifilm. The EVF is so much better for most shooting conditions and it also means smaller cameras which is perfect for long days out / traveling. I've actually listened my XT3's for sale in sale section on here as I'm...

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    Having to send my 8 month old XT3 off for repair :( Looks like the shutter isn't moving fast enough for shots over 1/4000 and looks like it's catching and showing on the image. More annoying is that I can also see it on my other body but only when shot at 1/8000 so that will have to off also...

    Crop sensor

    Look for the 24mm instead as that will get you closer to the 35mm look :)

    Affording to become a wedding photographer...!

    I shot my first weddings on a canon 7D with a 24-70. I'd look at getting a used 5D mark iii and a used 24-70. Get 2 godox flashes so you can do some off camera flash stuff and keep a body as a backup just in case. You will find other lenses down the line once the money comes in but I had no...

    Help with wedding photo album.

    Hey Alan! You going to edit the snaps yourself I'm guessing? Still sorry to hear about you not being totally happy though! The company I use, C41's, do a really nice photobook that's 8x8 and costs £110 with postage for 30 spreads (60 pages). I usually use a silk paper which you don't get on...

    Beginner Lightroom presets

    Check out VSCO and Looks Like Film. I don't use these personally as I've never found anything I like across a whole set of images but they're very popular :)
