Brief Encounter with the Fujifilm X-H1

I was trying out the simply superb Fujifilm X-H1 mirrorless camera with an old Nikon 1000mm mirror lens yesterday evening when this very brief opportunity presented itself.

The aeroplane shot across the frame very quickly, I recorded it in full HD mode at 100 fps, what is shown in the video is slowed down to 1/4 of the speed. I had to mask the moon in the final shot with the cat, otherwise it would have been completely blown out in terms of exposure, but that’s the only manipulation I performed.

The Nikon lens performed brilliantly, it is the sharpest full-frame reflex lens I have yet tried. Just a shame that it is so huge!
