Fujifilm X-T30 II

A small body with real dials on top: shutter speed, exposure comp, and a drive dial. I can change settings without digging through a menu.

How mine is dressed

It never goes out plain. There’s a wood hand grip on the bottom, with 1/4 in screw holes on the side for mounting things, a square metal hood on the lens, a soft silicone eyecup on the viewfinder, and a patterned strap. I do like to accessorize. The full list is on the accessories page.

A circular polarizer lives on the front of whatever lens is mounted. It’s how I like to shoot, and it protects the lens glass in case anything happens. Why that works.
