And on top of it, the Fujifilm X-pro2 has really proven itself to be weather sealed. It was raining very hard so we hide under the trees and kept shooting. No problem for the X-pro2. And even my Lensbabies were outstanding. Not one drop has leaked into my camera or Lensbabies. The second image was shot with the Canon 5D MK III. Just after the rain has stopped. I was too afraid of using it during the rain. But that's maybe something to try out the next time ;)

| Lensbaby Edge 80 |
For this 3 day trip, which is actually to short to visit this gorgeous place, I brought my FujiFilm XT1, the Fujinon 16-55 F/2.8 and the Lensbaby Edge 80. The XT1 was a rental since my 60 pound dog jumped on my own XT1 a few days before my trip and left me with a cracked LCD. I can't tell you how heart broken I was after I saw that my beautiful and beloved Fuji was mashed up by my dear dog. I will never know why he jumped on the table where my camera was. I guess he thought that he had turned into a cat but luckily my dog didn't get hurt. A camera can be replaced, my dog can't.
Anyway.. Thanks to the fantastic Fujifilm Customer Service in Europe, I had a spare XT1delivered the next day and my broken Fuji was taken care of. :) This is one of the things why I like Fujifilm so much: If you have a camera or lens problem, they'll fix it sooner than you can spell "Fujifilm".

To bring the XT1 (the Xpro2 wasn't out yet) along with the Fujinon 16-55 and the Edge 80 was a good choice. I don't like to bring to many lenses while I'm on a city trip. Too many lenses gives too much noise in my head of what lens to use. I rather focus on my vision and image than to be busy with making choices and changing lenses. This distracts me from my actual goal: to capture life how I see it.

In my previous trip to Paris, the 16-55 has proven to be a good choice and in Valencia it showed again that this lens is a real work horse! Normally I only use primes but for city trips, my go-to lenses are one zoom and one prime. The Fujinon is fast, accurate focus, amazing colors and tack sharp. It's a bit bulky but I've taken it for granted because of the amazing IQ. The Lensbaby Edge 80 has always been one of my favorite Lensbabies, so this was an obvious choice to bring along with me (since the Twist wasn't out yet). The Lensbaby helps me to create more artistic images.

I will certainly go back to Valencia to shoot some more but here you have a little impression of this fun city trip.
For now, I'm going to pack by bags and gear because within a few days my Fuji Xpro2 and me will take off to Mallorca to shoot some underwater scenes. I'll keep you posted. ;)
Have a great and wonderful summer!

Fujifilm X-pro2 & Fujinon 90mm F/2.0 natural light photography
zondag 3 juli 2016
Fujifilm X-pro2 combined with the Fujinon 90mm F/2.0. What an amazing set! That bokeh, that sharpness and that amazing flare! Do i need to say more? Love this combo!
The 90mm F/2.0 is fast, tack sharp and the creaminess of the bokeh is so yummy! The moment you snap a shot with this lens, you will forget the size of the lens.
If you're still in doubt of buying this lens, don't! In my opinion it's the best Fujinon lens there is, especially for portraiture!
