A new toy

Fujiflm X-E5 - picture via Leica LUX on iPhone

With the X100VI that I’ve been pining over for years still not available due to limited availability I did the next best thing - I bought the X-E5. After years of seeing, and drooling over, pictures made with the various Fuji film simulations (and recipes using them) I’ll finally have a chance to try them out on my own.

One thing I am not liking about this camera from the moment I took it out of the box: the tiny buttons and dials. I don’t have sausage fingers and still think the buttons and dials are too small.

I’ve got 30 days to try it out and a week of vacation upcoming to put it through it’s paces. Given the cost some hard decisions will be at hand soon.
