Shot on XT30 ii with the base 15-45mm lens. Just got a 35mm f2 prime which I can’t wait to try for my next trip!

Morro Bay and Los Osos on both the Fujifilm X-H2 and Pentax IQZoom. I love how differently both cameras interpreted the same places. Different colors, different textures, different feeling, but both so beautiful. ✨ Can you tell which is which? Is there one you prefer more than the other?

Hey everyone,
I used to be a professional photographer traveling the world shooting ballet. It was an amazing career, but now that I’m retired from the pro scene, my shooting habits have completely changed. I’ve dropped the heavy gear and now I exclusively shoot straight-out-of-camera with my Fuji (mostly chasing those perfect film simulation recipes).
Because I’m no longer doing massive RAW edits or client deliveries, I realized how crazy it is to keep paying expensive monthly fees for programs like Lightroom or Capture One just to cull, sort, and catalog my JPEGs.
I wanted a simple, lightweight tool without the bloat and without a license fee, so I decided to build my own. It’s called Proof.
It’s a straightforward cataloging and sorting solution designed for SOOC shooters who just want to organize their work without paying a monthly tax to Adobe.
I’m currently running it on a "set your own price" model. You can pay whatever you think is fair to help me cover the development fees and keep carrying on. No subscriptions, no catches.
You can check it out here: https://proof-photo.com
I’d love to hear feedback from fellow Fuji shooters to see how I can make this the perfect lightweight companion for a SOOC workflow. Let me know what you think!

Some photos from my trip to Berlin (June 2026). I took all of them with my Fujifilm X100vi and they are all SOOC.

Has anyone managed to fix the X100VI + iPhone WiFi connection issue?

I’m losing my mind with this.

I managed to pair my iPhone with my X100VI via Bluetooth, but the WiFi connection simply doesn’t work. The phone connects to the camera WiFi network, but XApp still won’t connect to the camera.

Things I already tried:
• Forgot the Bluetooth device
• Forgot the camera WiFi network
• Turned Local Network permission ON
• Turned Private WiFi Address off and on
• Deleted the paired device from the camera and paired everything again
• Deleted/reinstalled XApp

My X100VI is running the latest firmware and XApp is updated to the latest version.

Nothing works. I’ve wasted over an hour trying to fix this and I’m seriously frustrated.

Any ideas before I give up on this app completely?

Update: SOLVED

This is what finally fixed the issue for me:

First, I unpaired/unregistered the camera from XApp.

Then I went to iPhone Settings → Wi-Fi → Edit and removed all saved Fuji camera Wi-Fi networks from the list.

After that, I paired the camera again through XApp.

Shot on X-T5 with the Viltrox 13mm and Fuji 35mm f/2. During the heatwave, I spent a lovely, cool day exploring the nuclear bunker in Kelvedon Hatch.

It was a fascinating, albeit eerie, place to walk around, with desks in the dimly lit rooms highlighted by harsh desk lamps.

A collection of photos from my recent trip to Wimbledon. All SOOC jpegs shot with my new X-Pro 2. Loving this camera, it’s so much fun!

Was debating weather I need it or not, already owning the 18f2 and 23 1.4 wr, I do not regret one bit getting it. Managed to find one like new at half its price here.
Didn’t manage to shoot anything due to a lack of time, but all the test pics I did around the house were very sharp and fast to focus, seems like a generation more advanced than my 23 1.4 wr, which is an unexpected surprise.
Above photo was shoot using the X-E5.
By the end of the year I’d like to have finished a couple lens and camera combo reviews with Fuji used for automotive photography.

I have a small three-prime collection:

Viltrox Air 35mm f/1.7
TTArtisan 56mm f/1.8
Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2

Ironically, the Fuji was the lens I was most excited to buy, but it's ended up being my least favourite.

The two cheaper lenses seem to have more character and a more unique rendering. By comparison, the XF 23mm f/2 often gives me images that feel a bit more like an upgraded smartphone photo. I've also been a little underwhelmed by the corner sharpness.

I'm curious if this is mainly the 23mm focal length, or if others have noticed something similar with this particular lens.

What has your experience been with the XF 23mm f/2? Is there something about its rendering that makes it a favourite for you, or did you have a similar impression?
