Make the Switch Live PN joined forces with Fujifilm, offering five readers the chance to indulge their passion for photography on the streets of London. Read on for part two of the experience

MORE AND MORE keen image makers are seeing the benefits of shooting with mirrorless cameras, and swapping over from their DSLRs. Fujifilm, with its extensive range available in APS-C and medium format, is the brand of choice for many – and our Make the Switch features have told the story of many converts over the past few years. Make the Switch Live was the chance for PN readers to get their hands on the latest Fujifilm kit in a live situation. Our first event was in London, and last time we revealed the thoughts – and works – of two readers. Three more give us their perspectives here. Plans are afoot for more Make the Switch Live events in 2022. If you’re a photographer, eager to see the benefits of mirrorless shooting in a real setting, keep your eye on new issues – and our website.

TALKING PICTURES Our readers got to enjoy the company of Fujifilm X-S10 cameras, plus a wide selection of the latest lenses

to, and much lighter, which would be a key benefit for me.

I mostly shoot motorbikes, but have been experimenting more since joining Melton Mowbray Photographic Society. I have done quite a bit of macro, tried some wildlife, and want to attempt techniques like long exposure, so other types of photography are enjoyable, too. I use a Nikon D500 and a range of lenses, a 70-200mm and 200-400mm for the bikes – and recently invested in a 105mm macro lens. I was very pleased with the X-S10. It was different from what I am used

I particularly liked the viewfinder, and although it was a pain to start with, once I got used to it, I liked having the aperture on the ring. I’d be really keen on testing the Fujifilm X Series with motorbikes this coming season. I’ll probably take advantage of the free 48-hour loan scheme offered.
