Field test

In October we took the X-T2 over to Barcelona for the test drive of Audi's R8 V10 Spyder

Pairing the X-T2 with Fuji's brilliant XF50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR telephoto zoom lens, along with the 18-55mm f/2.8-4, it was the perfect partner for the trip.

Taking up minimal space in a messenger bag, the combination delivered the goods - whether that was taking details of the car, action/panning shots, or wider scene-setting images. 

The quality was excellent, while the AF didn't disappoint - it happily tracked the car through the bend, while the burst shooting speed of the X-T2 kept up with the action. 

Here are just a few shots from the trip...
