What better way to get a fresh view than to play with a new lens?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been working with my FujiFilm X-T1 mirror-less digital camera for nearly two years\u00a0and it\u00a0has proven to be an excellent tool.<\/p>\n

The other day I visited Allen\u2019s Camera in Levittown, Pennsylvania where I bought a Fujinon f2.0 90mm lens. I call this my \u2018fast 90\u2019 because of its relatively large aperture size for its length.<\/p>\n

In the early 1990s, I routinely worked with a Nikon f1.8 105mm lens, and made thousands of Kodachrome slides with it.<\/p>\n

Among the advantages of a \u2018fast lens\u2019 is the ability to work with shorter shutter speeds.<\/p>\n

Where my 18-135mm zoom lens has a maximum aperture of f5.6, the \u2018Fast 90\u2019 is a full three stops faster. The difference is f5.6 at 1\/125 versus f2.0 at 1\/1000 working at ISO 200 on an overcast morning<\/p>\n

Another advantage of a fast telephoto lens is the ability to use selective focus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019ve found selective focus exceptionally useful as a means for subtly guiding the eye through a complex composition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I made this selection of images on the morning I bought the lens. Stayed tuned for more results later!<\/p>\n
