Fuji XT3 mounted with the XF 56mm f1.2
One hot day today
When I picked up this lens recently as part of a purchase of my Fuji X Pro 3 I was not expecting the result to match the Fuji XF 23mm f2 that I already owned but I was pleasantly surprised when I used it for the first time. It is, I found, a solidly built lens with equally solid performance.















The images it produces are sharp and contrasty but a little warmer in colour than the XF 23mm f2 and the AF is surprisingly a little faster, giving excellent results in my street pictures as can be seen below in the images of Venice Beach, California on a recent trip I was fortunate to make.






I found myself using this lens a lot on that trip as it was giving me the results I wanted and was quick and easy to use although a little heavier than the Fuji XF 23 f2. It is certainly a lens I would recommend.

Today I was going through my archive of pictures, in total about 12 TB stored, some of which I have never posted. Decided to work on some, maybe 20 and post them on my FB page. After posting I suddenly got a temporary ban for going against FB rules or community standards, whatever they may be as they don’t explain.





























These are selection of the images I posted, and as can clearly be seen there are no really suspect images so I can only surmise that it is the actual number of images that brought me foul of the ”LAW”. They fail to say how long I will have to suffer this ”temporary ban” so will have to wait and see.
