first pics with my new Fujifilm X-T2

How do I love Fuji’s film simulation modes!

I admit, one of the reasons I moved up to the Fujifilm X-T2 was the better film simulation modes over my X-A10 and the addition of 3 Acros versions. I’m a big fan of the film versions of Acros (going back to Neopan) so being able to do that digitally is something I’ve wanted to do. Now I’ll be able to use some of my vintage lenses on the new Fuji and get a near-film look. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Leica optics are world-renowned for their high quality and exceptional value. Coupled with the LUMIX DMC-ZS7, the 12x Optical Zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens provides dramatic wide angle to telephoto coverage. This range represents an incredible 35mm equivalent of 25-300mm.

I hadn’t had the opportunity to use a Panasonic camera from this era before and after a few test pics I can say I’m impressed. Thanks for stopping by, Chris.
