Hi ,

Eight years ago, I got to test a new camera that hadn’t even been announced yet. It was the Fujifilm X-T1, and with its high performance and small, rugged form factor, it was the world’s first weather-sealed, fast action capable outdoor-ready mirrorless camera.

Instantly falling in love with the X-T1, my entire photography life was transformed, and with the successive X-T2, X-T3 an X-T4, I had a front row seat as the X Series cameras came of age over the next few years.

This week, the next chapter began in my X Series life when I snagged the last X-T5 in stock at my local store. As soon as I opened the box and put the camera in my hands, my X Series love was rekindled once again with this new hot-rodded fifth generation model. And with the regular 3-way tilt LCD screen, it felt like home.

I immediately took it on a short, very cold walk around my neighborhood, and here are a couple of my very first images made with the X-T5. You can see more in my latest blog post.

I'll be doing more X-T5 related posts and videos after the new year. Until then, enjoy the rest of your holidays and enjoy your first official weekend of winter!
