Scenes Seen: GFX – 80mm f/1.7 + Occoneechee Speedway.

Wanted to get out and about with what is quickly becoming my favorite camera and lens combination…

Lens I Had Was Fine Until It Wasn’t: FUJIFILM GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR Preview.

… and decided to revisit the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail near me. Usually, I would bring along a film camera, but I have hit a bit of an analog lull since this pairing showed up. It is temporary, I am sure.

I took it along for the afternoon, stopped by another local walking path, and then I went to the race track.

The Walking Path.

I reached the main subject. The old cars.

Thoughts.

This kit is not a need. But it is a definite want.

The fact that a used 100MP medium format digital camera with IBIS, phase detect AF, with Eye detect can now be had for no more than a modern full frame camera is a wonderful thing. So I wrote about them for so long that they finally depreciated into my strike zone.

And the lens. Wow. I have raved about the GF 50mm f/3.5…

My First And Perhaps Only Native GF Lens: FUJIFILM GF 50mm f/3.5 R LM WR.

…but if I could only have one GF lens, it would be this one. It provides the exact look I was after all along.

Happy capturing.
