Fuji Traveller - A Good Idea



I'm always banging on about tourists doing tourist picture taking with comfortable cameras - not taking 500 Kg of lenses and bodies on their back when they are trying to go away and relax. I cringe to see them at the airport under a backpack with bulging side pockets - trying to look nonchalant as they attempt to smuggle the 600mm tele lens into cabin baggage. " It's a water bottle, love...really it is...".

Take a small camera, Guys. Put a small lens on it. Take the tourist landscapes with a medium wide and save yourself the grief...Do the selfies with something that looks good.


And here's the answer for the Fuji X user. The new 27mm f:2.8 travel and general purpose lens. very Sharp. Gives the same angular degree of view on the Fuji X cameras that a 40mm lens would give on a 35mm film camera - just perfect for general views and landscapes.


And light as. I've combined it with the new Fuji X-M1 body and It would be the preferred combo for a European or Oriental visit. Even tempts me, and I'm a confirmed Fuji X-10 user...Imagine - tourism without looking like a tourist. Take pictures all day without needing a physiotherapist the rest of the week.
