HK2023 – Gear Shakedown – XF50mm F2

Perhaps one of my favourite lenses, but one that is very ticky for me to compose with is the FujiFilm XF50mm F2.

This lens is fast, sharp and and a joy to use, however the 75mm equivelent focal length is a real challange in the urban environment. Recently I’ve been enjoying using wide lenses to incorporate mulitple layers in my photography and having such a tight field of view is certainly a challange.

As an additional ‘challange’ I restricted myself to black and white, only only applied my standard black and white preset in Lightroom, and allowing Lightroom to automatically apply exposure correction.

Below are 20 images from overcast afternoon walk with the Fujifilm X-Pro2.
