What's in my bag?
I have been an enthusiastic Fujifilm-X user since 2013. On this page you´ll find my camera equipment. It is also a reference, as people often ask me about my gear and how I use it.
Why Fujifilm?
I love Fujifilm’s design and continuous improvement philosophy combined with their optical and sensor performance and analog inspired controls and ergonomics. Fujifilm’s heritage in color science is legendary and their digital film simulations deliver great results straight out of their camera's. My main reason for the X-system is that it is so small, light and intuitive, that it ensures not only a nice way of working. It also helps me to create an intimacy between me and my subject.

How I use my camera’s
My main system is the X-Pro2. It has the Fujifilm X-Trans III sensor delivering great film simulations such as Classic Chrome and Acros.  In my photography, I really don’t need more in terms of quality and megapixels. With the X-Pro2 I mainly use the small and excellent XF16/XF23/XF35/XF50 ‘Fujicrons’. A very compact and high quality setup.
The XF56 F1.2 is my default lens for creating commercial portraits
Almost only during my longer travels I use my two Fujinon zoom lenses.
My compact/every day/travel light setup is my X100V with the two conversion lenses; covering at least 90% of my photography needs. Being a very compact setup, it still delivers me a 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal length. According to my Lightroom metadata, I have been shooting ~23mm (35mm equiv.) in 66% of all my XF16-55 photos over the past years. And 80-85% of all my photos were taken up to ~35mm (50mm equiv.) So, my X100 kit is in many situations the only gear I really need.​​​​​​​

My Graphite X-Pro2 + XF23/XF35/XF50 Fujicrons

X-Pro1 is forever a classic. I use it not only for slowing down my photography process but also to explore the good old X-Trans I sensor quality. I love using the original XF18 and XF35 lenses, they are a perfect fit. Besides that, I like to use classic/manual lenses on the X-Pro1. The X-Pro1 is still a great and durable camera in a lot of ways. And it definitely has a soul!
For my personal computing, I exclusively use an Apple iPad Pro M1, so my photography workflow is completely iPad based. In post edit I almost always use Lightroom and sometimes Affinity Photo. Besides the Adobe Cloud and local backup, all my selected images are backupped online at Flickr.
