Fuji Showcase 90mm F2

[AndyMcD]

This one was easy to process, and the 90 did a sterling job

These two required some cropping, but shows a new side to the 90/2 for me...

 

[AndyMcD]

This is using an 11mm extension tube. It gets the 90mm in a bit closer (0.34 magnification instead of 0.2) but doesn't have a drastic effect. I used a couple of Godox flashes, but I am struggling to get rid of the shadows on the flower.

 

[Bobby Tingle]

Are you using bare flashes? Or do you have a modifier on them?

 

[AndyMcD]

@Bobby Tingle I used a Godox TT350F with a diffuser cap and a TT685F with a rogue flashbender attached. I'm going to try picking up a 5 in one reflector because I think one of the 5 things they do is act as a large diffuser.

 

[Bobby Tingle]

@AndyMcD Yes they do have a large diffusion panel. Something else you may want to look into. Amazon sells a 43” diffused umbrella for $20.

More landscape action for the 90...

It was a mix of rain and sun today, this often leads to great clouds like these. The castle here is Belvoir (pronounced 'beaver') Castle - it is the highest point for miles.

I just loved what the clouds did here.

This is using Velvia sim in Capture One, which is my favourite colour simulation.

I got a few creature pics with the 90 today as well...

This is our greyhound. She heard a gunshot (probably a crow scarer) and didn't want to carry on.

Theatrically lit room. The X-E3 and 90mm did a great job here.

Today I went for a walk around the Peak District (Derbyshire, UK) with just the 90/2 and 16/1.4. I nearly took the 50-230 as well but I doubt that I would have used it.

Lambs are always photogenic...

We have a stylised painting of this ridge (Mam Tor) on our kitchen wall, I was keen to try to get something similar as a photograph...

This is the cement works at Hope, whether you like it or not you can't ignore the impact it has.

Had to go to London today, on the way back I had 30 mins to spare at Kings Cross Station...

had 30 mins to spare at Kings Cross Station...

So much to work with there, even when getting a train from Euston, I prefer to get to Kings Cross/ St Pancras then walk across.

I'm so much loving this 90/2. I'm getting the similar "feels" like I did when shooting the Oly 75/1.8 in m43. Quickly becoming one of my favorite lenses of all time. Shot these with the XE3 in AF-C mode single point. CL 5 fps...this setup did not miss a beat!

No fancy film simulations here, just normal Fuji colors with a small tweak of exposure when needed in post. SOOC JPGs.
