Anyone here got experience of the Fuji 27mm 2.8 WR. I’m thinking of getting one for my T4 and just wondered what the AF performance is like. I’m wanting it to be an everyday lens to pop on to take to the park to get pics of the kids. I’ve got the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 which is stunning but just...

I’ve not got the Viltrox 23mm but I do have the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 and it is an amazing lens. I sold my Fuji 23mm 1.4 and have no regrets. The sharpness is superb. Probably my sharpest lens and I own a few

No worries. You could always get the 90mm then sell the 80. It’s more than just a portrait lens .

Hi guys anyone in here after a 90mm f2 I’ve one for sale in the forums

Hi Gav this really isn't a bad first attempt. Same comments from me re the shooting angle. But I also think this image could be processed a little better to help lighten it up a little. You've captured a great expression and have good eye contact which is half the battle when working with...

Thank you. I'm pleased with them considering the space in which I had to work. Glad people like the lighting as that was the main aim. To get soft natural looking light :)

Thanks Gaz :)

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Was really trying to get the lighting right but it's hard with the limited space. Pretty happy with how they turned out though. Had another go and managed to get these (actually my wife got the one below, as I was holding him, think she did great :) )...

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Really need to get the camera out more often

Decided to take some portraits of my little boy, and since his arrival we no longer have a spare room for me to set up any lighting. So I had to turn our bedroom upside down to get these shots. Simple set up of soft box to camera life with reflector to the right. I've attached a setup shot...

Photo taken shortly after the arrival of our little boy last year. Was going to set this up with the soft box and proper backdrop but in the end couldn't be bothered with the hassle (was pretty tired due to the sleepless nights) so opted for a simple setup of blanket on the floor next to our...

Many thanks for the kind comments guys. Been doing my best to get as many photos as I can, but I've forgotten how tiring it is having a newborn :)

My wife gave birth to our second child last week, and we're both totally smitten. Just had to get the old Fuji out and take a few snaps :) 1. 2021-07-04_11-52-54 by Phil Carver, on Flickr 2. 2021-07-04_11-53-29 by Phil Carver, on Flickr 3. DSCF0463 by Phil Carver, on Flickr 4. DSCF0470 by...

Hi guys I had the pleasure of photographing my second wedding a couple of weeks ago at a gorgeous spot in the Lake District. Irton Hall was the venue and only 15 minutes away from WastWater where we stopped off and go some Bride & Groom portraits. Not had chance to edit the photos yet but...

Thanks for the comments all. Been really interesting seeing the comments about the sky. I actually edited this in Luminar ai and the sky is one of their stock skied which I used the sky replacement feature. I wasn't going to mention it as I wanted to see if people picked up on it. Seems the...
