I am a Manual Settings photographer. When you work in a Studio with controlled lighting it works well. Even on a portrait shoot outdoors it suits me. When I do landscapes and try to be deliberate and you have time to shift your exposure by simply increasing your shutter speed or by changing your aperture it also works well. Actually it is kinda a must, you slow down, your in control.

I have been experimenting with small tripods in recent times. This past summer I ordered a model from Vanguard, the VEO 3GO 204CB carbon tripod. Upon arrival I examined the size and weight: 1.8 lbs. or 0.741 kg

I purchased this lens after much debate this past December. I also waited for a possible year end deal from Fuji, well that did not come about.

Nevertheless, the lens quickly proved it’s merit...
