Vespa Island

Premium/ The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of my Fuji lenses
Right now, there are five lenses that usually accompany me everywhere. They could be more, they could be less, they could be others. But they are not. My backpack includes the XF18-55mmF2.8-4, XF14mmF2.8, XF23mmF2, XF35mmF2 and XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8. I like them all, but I use some more than others. This is…
The joy of using Fuji’s film simulations
Before having a Fujifilm camera in my arsenal, little did I know that “colour” actually plays an important role in my photography life, and that is motivating me to shoot. Why do I say that? I was a DSLR user since 2006 and because colour can be adjusted in post-processing,…

Fuji X-E3 vs X-E1 – Why would you want the newest one?

A german in Paris
Where should I start? In photography, which would be advisable or perhaps in my work, which has absolutely nothing to do with photography, but which has led me more or less directly to it. By profession drugstore owner, I have been working for almost 25 years in the East, on…
Flying with Fujifilm – New York City
I am just going to say it, I love flying! If I could have one superpower, flying is what it would be. I even like flying on a commercial airliner, there is just something about being on a plane, the anticipation of seeing a new country or just being up…

Hi! Ronan here, I’m an airline pilot from Ireland, living in London, with a passion for photography. I took up photography just over two years ago, while furloughed during the pandemic. My dad always had camcorders and cameras around when we were younger, and one day I took out his…

Tribute to Velvia – Interview with Daniel Acevedo
When I started working as a professional back in 1997, my greatest joy and peace of mind was knowing that Velvia film for slides/transparencies existed. It had been on the market for a short time, but just in time to be able to enjoy its results. At that time and…
