With the skiing slopes much too crowded, The Significant Other and I are doing a bit of winter hiking through Austria’s Lungau region between Mauterndorf and Mariapfarr. Along came the Fuji X-T2 with the Fujinon XF18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR travel zoom. The color photographs in this post are all jpgs out of the camera with the Fuji Velvia film simulation, the monochrome jpgs were shot with the Acros B&W analogue simulation.

I very much love the blue hues and the soft tones of the Velvia film simulation, as they perfectly fit the winter landscape of this beautiful region.
But also the black & white images came out great, with the Acros in-camera preset. Just as I love my monochromes, punchy with high contrast.
The Fuji X-T2 currently is my favorite camera. Albeit 8 years old (it came out at the end of 2016), it still is a legit mirrorless camera. I particularly love the rendering of the 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor. The image quality of this APS-C sensor still has many fans. That’s why the X-T2, even 8 years old, still has a good value on the used camera market. I’m happy I found a near mint used specimen earlier this year.
The jpgs shot on our hike came out so perfect that I could directly use them without the need for any post-processing in Lightroom Classic.
