I got my Fuji X-Pro2 just before my trip to China & Taiwan in September of 2017 and even though I was able to take some nice pictures I still did not really know how to use the camera. 2 Years later I am still learning some of its features and those of the lenses that I own.

That being said I am glad that I made the transition from my Canon DSLR to Fuji’s mirrorless camera. With the purchase of my first manual focus lens, a Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f/4.0 I feel that I am entering a new level of photography. One that finally matches technique to the art of photography and the rationalization of my equipment.

I’ve continued to build up my lens collection with the addition of the Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical lens and the only lens I still feel is missing is a decent macro lens. The Fujinon XF60mm F2.4 Macro does not support a true 1:1 macro view but it should fit my needs for California Native plant photos.

Every lens has a story to tell:

• Zeiss Touit 12mm - This is the lens I use for panoramas which I normally use on a tripod to get those wide-angle shots.
• Fujinon 10-24mm - My lens for cityscapes, especially involving churches and other architecture.
• Fujinon 16-55mm, 50-140mm, Voigtlander Nokton 40mm - My high-speed lenses for low light and when I need extra reach.
• Voigtländer 21mm, Fujinon 23mm, 35mm - My walk around lenses for markets and other general photography.
• Fujinon 50mm, 90mm - My portrait lenses.

The only lens I feel is missing from my collection is a decent macro lens, and it doesn’t need to be a full macro at that. One just to take pictures of food, plants, and flowers. I do wish that Fuji came out with a line of small manual focus primes but I assume the market for those is too small for the company to address.
