So, on the X-H1 the “Brick” is stripped of its main reason for being a Brick: With the X-H1’s IBIS I can now use the Brick in a “Brick-less” environment (twilight, IBIS+F/2.8 sec, comparable to no 1/30-1/60 sec). So, maybe I ain’t “insane” after all - I got a real reason for buying “The Brick” again! Coz of what’s meanwhile changed: Fuji gave us the X-H1, first time sporting IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation). See? It ain’t gonna happen, not if you’re not a halfway good magician … -) Actually this “definition of insanity” first appeared in 1981 in a document published by Narcotics Anonymous: A guide book to help narcotics overcome their addiction by persuading its members that it’s a futile exercise to continue using narcotic drugs and expecting to be able to stop on their own Those teach us that it is actually highly unlikely that you get the same result when doing something the same way over & over … Go try shuffling a deck of cards in the same way several times and see how often you can get the same card to come out on top. But it was neither from those nor from Einstein, coz that quote would contradict the laws of thermal dynamics & chaos theory. This quote is often attributed to Albert Einstein (also to Ben Franklin and Mark Twain …). Now why would I buy a “Brick” again?įor sure y’all have heard of the “definition of insanity”: Doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result, but expecting a different one. That’s why it’s a Brick! Or have you ever seen a Brick with image stabilisation? No? Well, I ain’t either. That’s 2 (two whole!) stops below my F/1.4 primes, without any OIS (optical image stabilisation) to compensate the loss of light. But then sold it (despite loving its image quality), coz I found that it was not suited to low light photography in the golden hours at the beginning and end of the day having a max. Always! So, full disclosure here: I had it already back in 2017, on my X-T2 (my main camera at that time). Look at the above contre-jour picture taken in our city park during the early morning! I tell ya, images taken with this lens are tack sharp.
