First of all, my apologies for not posting any update, including the promised Leica M typ262 + Summicron 35mm Asph + Artisan & Artist strap + Billingham review. I have recently moved to Vancouver to pursue further studies, so I cannot really manage to update this page as frequently as before. I will, however, continueContinueContinue reading “A quick update”

Visiting Soho, revisiting Fujinon XF18mm F2
The Fujinon was once the everyday lens on my X-E2, but since I wanted to challenge myself with another focal length, I have left it on my desk in favour of my Touit 32mm F1,8. Unfortunately, the 32mm is slow to focus and I’ve lost many decisive moments as I try to compose on thisContinueContinue reading “Visiting Soho, revisiting Fujinon XF18mm F2”
50mm Street photography
This year marks my 4th year with my Fujifilm X/ Zeiss Touit setup, and recently I’ve been playing with the idea of switching to the holy grail – Leica M. The thing with the M system is that almost all the lenses are manual focus only prime lenses, so I’ve been training myself to getContinueContinue reading “50mm Street photography”
Street photography: The bauhinia that decided to go against all odds
Late October isn’t exactly a flowering season in the Northern hemisphere, yet this orchid tree down the scenic Sha Wan Drive in Pokfulam went against all odds as the only tree that blossoms… From a distance, bauhinia looks pretty much like cherry blossom, at least in terms of colour tone of the flowers, but upContinueContinue reading “Street photography: The bauhinia that decided to go against all odds”
Conquering West Buffalo Hill with one camera and one lens (Fujifilm X-E2 + Zeiss 32mm F1,8)
Last Sunday, I went hiking with a friend (who happens to be a fellow Fujifilm X shooter as well). We brought along our cameras as usual, his being the mighty X-T2 and 10-24mm F4 & 56mm F1,2; for me, I’ve settled with my usual X-E2 and here’s the challenge – Zeiss Touit 32mm F1,8. TheContinueContinue reading “Conquering West Buffalo Hill with one camera and one lens (Fujifilm X-E2 + Zeiss 32mm F1,8)”
Central Pier, Hong Kong (and some thoughts on the Fujifilm X-E2)
Was strolling around the (tourist-infested) Central Pier after work the other day, got a few shots that turned out rather well, and here they are… With the Fujifilm X-E2/Zeiss 32mm F1,8 combo, manual control is relatively easy since 1. there’s dedicated dials for setting the shutter speed and a handy aperture ring 2. theContinueContinue reading “Central Pier, Hong Kong (and some thoughts on the Fujifilm X-E2)”

Limiting myself to one camera and one lens (Part II)
Read Part I here Recently, I have been trying to develop my own style of street photography – apart from shooting photos of interesting-looking people, I am working on the composition and colour. Like I have mentioned in the previous post, I am restricting myself to my Zeiss 32mm F1,8 (50mm equivalent in 135 format).ContinueContinue reading “Limiting myself to one camera and one lens (Part II)”
