Fujifilm X-T20
Hey everyone…
It’s been awhile…
Since I went on a little hiatus, a lot has happened, I’ve shot some events, I’ve shot some portraits, but I’ve also added some gear. The little surprise (or lack thereof since it’s in the title) is that I’ve added a Fujifilm X-T20 to the bag.
………….and it’s the only camera I’ve used for the last week since it arrived.
