Some of the gear that I own
My first mirrorless camera came after I damaged the mount of my good old Pentax K3-II. I will forever miss DSLRs, and the beginning with the Fuji wasn't exactly a walk in the park, but it wasn't the gear; it was the subject behind the camera.
Fujifilm X-T5 Mirrorless Camera with XF16-80mmF4 R OIS ...
I love analogue photography, and when I saw an Instax Wide camera, I immediately knew that I want to experiment with it. It's a fun toy to play with.
Fujifilm - INSTAX WIDE Instant Film Twin Pack - White
My first native Fuji X-mount lens that was a lovely surprise with its impeccable sharpness. I totally recommend it. I won't deny that the focal length was a challenge at first, being in between standard 50mm and telelenses, but it didn't take long be...
VILTROX 75mm f/1.2 Fuji X Mount Prime Lens
I recently bought this Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 lens, and I was positively surprised by its ease of use and sharpness coming at less than $400. As expected, wide open it becomes soft but it's by far not disastrous. It has surprisingly low chromatic aberra...

One day I want to own these
Very high on my wish list is this unusual lens. It reminds me of a long snout... and that's what it kind of does - you can reach into tight spaces and spy on what's going on.
Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe Lens - Canon EF
I love non-standard gear. I guess after a while, you have seen all the standard stuff, and you want to challenge yourself. One day, I will add this extreme fish eye lens to my backpack.
7artisans 4mm F2.8 Fisheye Lens for Fujifilm
I love macro. I want to get closer and closer to the subject in front of my camera. Well, this set, the Laowa Aurogon essentially turns your mirrorless camera into a microscope with its 10-50x magnification!
