Test of a new-to-me but relatively vintage Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 R lens on the X-T5. I owned one about 10 years ago and decided to try it again. Weighty piece of glass but oh so sharp. Tram stop candid portrait in Nice. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhite #fujifilm #France

Photo post sans photo: I borrowed the new Fuji GFX 100rf from my local camera store for a few hours today. Like the Leica Q3 & the Nikon ZF it is an ergonomic disaster without adding a handgrip and ideally a thumb grip. Why do camera manufacturers do this??
