First Impressions

I bought this lens after reading the very positive reviews on the net over several weeks. I have one other Viltrox lens the 23mm f1.4 that I have found to be capable of excellent results. It was time for me to find out if this was an isolated incident of a cheaper lens giving excellent results.

I could not find a used example here in Cambodia so I decided to purchase a new lens from my camera supplier in Phnom Penh. The images here are the first taken with this lens, straight from the X Pro3 in JPEG.

Over the next few weeks I will be putting this lens through its paces but my fist impressions are ” I’m Impressed “.

Get up close and wide open with VILTROX AF 13/1.4 XF, a professional, portable prime lens. With a focal length equivalent to 20mm, it’s the perfect choice for sprawling landscapes, the sights and sounds of the street, and everything else in between. Be ready for any creative outburst with lightning-fast autofocus, a wide F1.4 aperture, and unmatched optical design. AF 13/1.4 XF is ready to go wherever your adventures take you and fully capable of extracting every last bit of detail from your X Series mirrorless camera.

Temporary Ban on FB for posting too many pictures.

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.

Two Caballeros – Culleoka, TX – Fujifilm X-E4 – “Kodachrome 64” I had an epiphany today.

Whichever place it is that you find yourself, capture it with your camera. […]

Fuji X Pro 1, still viable.

I have recently rediscoverd my old Fuji X Pro 1, and am enjoying using it again. The colours are lovely and I tend to use JPEG only rather than RAW.

I also like using it to produce BW images, although I usually do that in post.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia 2022

Phnom Penh is a great city for colourful photography, it’s big, dirty and in your face. Street photography is a pleasure. The people are generally friendly and rarely object to having their picture taken.
