Adventures with the Fuji 10-24mm - Landscape Photography

Finally Fuji!

Yes! Yes! Yes!  The long awaited, 10-24mm f4 lens finally found it's way home!  My home that is :)  I have missed it dearly.  I have abandoned my Canon cameras in favour of the Fuji X-Pro1, about 3 years ago.  I love shooting landscapes, and being limited to only 28mm was a little painful.  I tried telling myself that the 18mm Fuji lens will be enough.  Nope.  In my desperation I even turned to my wife's Sony NEX and 10-18mm... The angle was right, but the camera wasn't.  Struggle continued... I know first world problems :)

Fuji 10-24mm f4

Finally a couple of weeks ago, it has arrived, and I was very eager to try this out.  The weather, in accordance with Murphy's law, was horrible.  No sun, heavy clouds etc etc.  Typical.  I went out anyway.  I didn't care if there was no sun.  I had a super wide angle lens, on a Fuji, and that's what mattered.  Shooting with it, is like a breath of fresh air.  The scene just opens before the camera.  It's a wonderful feeling.  I know what you might say, it's just a lens, just the Fuji X-Pro1 is just a camera.  True.  On the other hand being a landscape photographer, and not having that super wide, is sometimes suffocating.  Now I can breathe :)

Enjoy!
