CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/27/14 -- PRD Energy Inc. ("PRD" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: PRD) announces completion of its financial statements and operating results as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and provides an operational update on activities to date as well as an outlook for the remainder of 2014. The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the reporting period will be filed today on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and posted on the Company's website at www.prdenergy.de.
Development of the Volkensen Production Licence
In early August, the Company applied for a four well development permit on its Volkensen Production Licence. Volkensen is an oil pool which was abandoned in 1993 after producing approximately 900,000 barrels. The Company believes that potential recoveries can be enhanced through a three stage development plan:
-- Stage 1: Drill two horizontal wells adjacent to the existing vertical wells based on existing 2D seismic, well control, reservoir data and other geological data available to the Company. This stage is expected to evaluate reservoir pressures, flow rates, and logs, amongst other things, to be used in stage 2 of the development. -- Stage 2: Drill two additional horizontal wells from the existing pad after the completion of the first two horizontal wells and evaluation of the planned 3D seismic program described below. -- Stage 3: Development of several additional wells depending on the results of the completed development program.
Subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, site construction and drilling for the first stage is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2014 and continue into the first half of 2015.
The Volkensen well site design is expected to significantly reduce the environmental impact associated with large concrete pad structures typically utilized in the North West German Basin. The proposed matting and asphalt design is anticipated to have a secondary benefit of reducing costs of construction and remediation especially. This approach should also reduce the well site footprint, particularly when combined with the surface benefits of horizontal drilling.
Volkensen/Sittensen Seismic Program
The Company has commenced the permitting of a 90 sq. km 3D seismic program for its Volkensen and Sittensen licences. Early indications from both the reservoir and 2D seismic data obtained to date have led the Company to believe that its Sittensen licence is highly prospective for conventional horizontal oil development. Subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the seismic program is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2014 and be completed and interpreted in the first quarter of 2015.
The seismic data is expected to enable the Company to further delineate Volkensen and four additional high impact exploration prospects which it has identified to date. Other pools in the North West German Basin with reservoir intervals and trapping geometries similar to the Company's prospects have each recovered more than five million barrels of oil during their development. The seismic program will be funded from existing cash balances at a cost of approximately $5,000,000 CDN.
PRD is the operator and 100% holder of both the Volkensen and Sittensen licences, subject to a 50% back-in right in favour of the prior operator in respect of the Volkensen production licence only. Given the scope and prospects of these licences, the Company is evaluating one or more farm-out transactions with strategic partners with the goal of increasing activity and development on the Company's other licences.
Boerger Field
PRD has received an expanded 3D seismic data set covering the Boerger field and surrounding area. It has completed its reprocessing of this data and submitted a field development plan to the operator, which the operator is currently reviewing. The Company is also in discussions with the operator to become the designated operator for all future field re-development in order to accelerate development timeframes for this pool. The Company has proposed drilling two wells from the Boerger 7A well site in the first quarter of 2015 as the next stage of development for the Boerger pool. In effect, the Company's accelerated Volkensen development drilling has substituted the well development activity originally planned for Boerger in the last quarter of 2014.
The operator and the Company completed facility modifications at Boerger 7A during June, 2014 and are assessing the effectiveness of these modifications. In that regard, the operator has shut-in production in order to carry out certain pressure transient tests and is expected to produce the Boerger 7A well intermittently for the remainder of the third quarter. Since being placed on production, the Boerger 7A well has completed 102 operating days between February 24 and June 30, 2014 and produced a total of 15,729 barrels of oil. PRD is encouraged by the initial results of this well, however feels that the well is not producing to its full capability due to production being limited to a portion of the horizontal length. The Company has proposed a work-over plan to the operator utilizing an acid squeeze to improve productive capability, a method which the Company believes would optimize completion methods for future wells.
The Boerger 7A well represents a significant milestone in the Company's development which it can use to expand its business in Germany over its significant land position. This operation has provided the Company with valuable operating experience which it is currently using to develop cost reduction strategies to apply to its independent operations elsewhere in Germany. Further, the knowledge gained of the regulations and regulatory process, the understanding of the local service company dynamics, and our improved public communication methods which incorporate transparency to all German stakeholders, are all as a result of drilling Boerger 7A. The permitting for the development of Volkensen and the 3D seismic shoot over the Volkensen and Sittensen Licences stand to be substantial beneficiaries of this experience which bodes well for our ability to be able to substantially increase activity in 2015 and beyond.
Other Licences
The Company recently obtained legacy geophysical and production data over one of its production licences from one of the largest oil & gas companies in the North West German Basin marking the first transaction between PRD and this company. This transaction expands the Company's strategic access to legacy data which is an important step in advancing activity on its licences. The Company is evaluating the data received to date.
PRD is continuing to augment its understanding of its existing land base of 2,413,300 acres with improved access to data of Germany's major oil & gas companies. Management has recently completed a technical review of its existing licences and prospects resulting in the high-grading of certain exploration and production licences. These licenses are expected to be the focus of corporate activity in late 2015 and throughout 2016.
PRD remains committed to the German marketplace both environmentally and economically. In the last twelve months, the Company has increased its staffing levels in Germany from three professionals to over ten while continuing to manage its general and administrative expenses to a modest level. We are committed to expanding our business in Germany with highly skilled German people and expect to continue to increase employment in the country. World class netbacks and an attractive underdeveloped geologic environment, combined with the current geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, provide incentives for both the oil and gas industry and its stakeholders to progress with development of Germany's vast natural resources.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Carlos Gomez had three hits with an RBI and the hot-hitting Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning to six games with a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night.
The Brewers' wins have all come on the road during the streak. They came to Philadelphia following a three-game sweep at defending World Series champion Boston.
They battered the Phillies with 25 runs and 38 hits in the three-game sweep. Milwaukee has batted .320 and has outscored opponents 42-18 during the streak.
Ryan Braun had two hits and an RBI, ending the series 6 for 12 with 10 RBIs while increasing his lifetime total to 24 RBIs in 21 games at Citizens Bank Park. Braun opened the series by homering three times in Tuesday's 10-4 win.

- Coming Soon July 9
With Gone Girl poised to become a box-office hit this October, it's only fitting that Gillian Flynn's debut novel, Sharp Objects, is getting a live-action adaptation as well.
Entertainment One Television is creating an hour-long drama based on Flynn's novel, Entertainment Weekly reports. The series will follow Camille Preaker, a reporter who leaves a mental hospital and must cover a murder case in her hometown.
Marti Noxon, whose previous projects include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will serve as Sharp Objects' showrunner and will pen the script. Flynn will executive produce the show along with Jason Blum and Charles Layton.- -

153-year-old Fishers home may be closer to salvation
FISHERS, Ind. - A historic Fishers home may no longer be in danger of being destroyed.
Last week RTV6 reported that developers planned to demolish the historic farmhouse on 106th Street and Kincaid Drive. The house has stood in that same spot for 153 years.
But now, we're told different architectural historians have stepped in to help.
One option would be to move the home to another property, which preservationists say is an expensive process. At least two property owners, however, have offered the farmhouse a new home.
The Indiana Landmarks Association says the other option is to build around the house, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
The parties involved in the house's fate are scheduled to meet again in the coming weeks.

The Romanian version of the BMP-1 was the MLI-84. These were longer than the Russian versions, and traded one roof hatch for a machine gun mount. I'm using S-Model kits with some conversion work. I won't be stretching them as it's too much work to do well; the hull would be no issue but adding a mm here and there between the road wheels would be a royal pain in the backside!

Heresy Era Landraider
I don't think I've ever posted about this before - although I've had it partly assembled for years. It's a Landraider with the Chapterhouse parts on it. The parts stylistically look great, but the casting was a bit off - hence the amount of filing before these fitted well. I used several IG Lascannons in the sponsons and added extra plating to cover up the swivel mechanism, which was too apparent. Tracks are from Blood and Skulls, and ultimately this will be joining my Sons of Horus army.

Well sort of, the new 'Nid Tyrannocyte fills the role of a drop pod (actually more like the Dreadclaw in that it can move ). Either way, I really need to get a move on and finish these pods, that my friend Linton made for me just before I left Canada - the right one was designed to fit into a crater, but will now need some rework to base it for these new rules.

Eric Wedge sounds like a manager who is on the way out
Sep 25, 2013, 9:47 PM EST
Mariners president Chuck Armstrong confirmed Tuesday night that GM Jack Zduriencik will be back in 2014. Eric Wedge has received no such assurance and vented about that fact Wednesday to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times:
"It's tough," Wedge said. "I feel like I'm hanging out there. … My best managing days are ahead of me. Whether that's here or somewhere else. But I want to be here. I moved my family out here, I committed to the community. I'm all-in. I haven't done anything wrong except to come out here and try to coach-up these kids, teach them how to play at the big league level. That's what I do. I don't bitch about anything. I'm here to help these kids become good solid big league players and hopefully solid citizens here in Seattle. If that's not enough for them, so be it."
Those aren't the words of a man who feels confident about his job status.
Wedge suffered a mild stroke in late July but told the Seattle Times on Wednesday evening that he feels "32 years old again" and is sleeping better than he ever has before. The 45-year-old owns a 211-271 record in three years (2011-2013) with the M's. He had a 561-573 record in seven years (2003-2009) with Cleveland.

When a GM has pressure on him the first thing they do is blame the manager.

He looks like Obi Wan Kenobi.
- jdillydawg - Sep 26, 2013 at 4:40 AM
I commend him for all he is trying to do, coaching up those fellas and teaching them to be good citizens.
Have you thought about winning a few more games? Maybe that might help your cause.
I like this guy, but I really don't think he's a good coach. Sorry pal.

IP66 rated illuminated vandal resistant switches
May 28, 2012 // Julien Happich
All MPI switches from Bulgin have bodies and buttons machined from high-grade stainless steel. A tough Polycarbonate lens in the stainless steel actuator gives a robust and aesthetically-pleasing switch.
All switches are front-panel sealed to IP66. However, Bulgin's new range is also rear-of-panel sealed. This makes them suitable for use outdoors or in other situations where condensation or leakage behind control panels can be problematic. Rear panel sealing is available in a variety of styles, including single and dual colour with dot or ring LED illumination. Independent switch and LED terminals allows customers the flexibility to choose between permanent or controlled illumination. Contacts are single-pole push-to-make. The switches have either solder tags or screw terminals, which facilitates easy field servicing, and also feature potted moulding and flying leads to the rear of the switch. With integral supply resistors the LEDs can now be driven directly from 6, 12 and 24V supplies.
The MPI series is tested to 750,000 mechanical and 35,000 electrical operations and rated at 50mA, 24V dc. The series has also recently undergone design improvements at construction stage, incorporating surface mount LEDs and TVS's.
All switches in the MPI series have momentary action contacts making them suitable for access control and door entry applications including lifts, panic buttons, car park barriers, emergency telephones, vending machines and food processing.

I worked at Cydcor full-timePros
They will push you out of your comfort zone and you will learn about the sales industry. You will also grow by learning to work with different personalities (be warned some of which are abusing and are not punished because of their position at company!) and multitasking like a mad person. You will have the opportunity to run meetings and can push yourself as hard as you want. It's a very young office culture with ping pong and perks like a cereal bar.Cons
Working there was stifling and depressing. When interviewing, they will never be able to describe the pressure of the working environment. You not only have to learn the systems and processes created for this industry, which is all this made up terminology and procedures, but also make sure you have a career path in mind that you are putting in extra work towards. To keep within budgets and because they cannot retain staff, you will have a workload equivilant to two or more people. Compensation will not reflect this extra work.
At the end of the day, your job is to keep the offices selling and happy. Even when they break rules, you will have to scold them yet protect them which goes against everything the company claims to be. Bottom line, the company is formed around favoritism, people stomping on one another to get ahead, and shady treatment of employees. This explains why the culture is so young (fresh grads) they don't know better- most people are out the door after a couple of years.Advice to ManagementAdvice
When employees are crying due to stress and workload, it may be a good time to make changes.Doesn't Recommend

Bacterial builders on site for computer construction
Researchers at the University of Leeds have used a type of bacterium which 'eats' iron to create a surface of magnets, similar to those found in traditional hard drives, and wiring. As the bacterium ingests the iron it creates tiny magnets within itself.
The team has also begun to understand how the proteins inside these bacteria collect, shape and position these "nanomagnets" inside their cells and can now replicate this behaviour outside the bacteria.
Led by Sarah Staniland from the University's School of Physics and Astronomy, in a longstanding collaboration with the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, the team hope to develop a 'bottom-up' approach for creating cheaper, more environmentally-friendly electronics of the future.
Staniland said: "We are quickly reaching the limits of traditional electronic manufacturing as computer components get smaller. The machines we've traditionally used to build them are clumsy at such small scales. Nature has provided us with the perfect tool to circumvent this problem."
The magnetic array was created by Leeds PhD student Johanna Galloway using a protein which creates perfect nanocrystals of magnetite inside the bacterium Magnetospirilllum magneticum. In a process akin to potato-printing on a much smaller scale, this protein is attached to a gold surface in a checkerboard pattern and placed in a solution containing iron.
At a temperature of 80°C, similarly-sized crystals of magnetite form on the sections of the surface covered by the protein. The team are now working to reduce the size of these islands of magnets, in order to make arrays of single nanomagnets. They also plan to vary the magnetic materials that this protein can control. These next steps would allow each of these nanomagnets to hold one bit of information allowing the construction of better hard drives.
"Using today's 'top-down' method - essentially sculpting tiny magnets out of a big magnet - it is increasingly difficult to produce the small magnets of the same size and shape which are needed to store data," said Johanna Galloway. "Using the method developed here at Leeds, the proteins do all the hard work; they gather the iron, create the most magnetic compound, and arrange it into regularly-sized cubes."
A different protein has been used to create tiny electrical wires by Masayoshi Tanaka, during a secondment to Leeds from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. These 'nanowires' are made of 'quantum dots' - particles of copper indium sulphide and zinc sulphide which glow and conduct electricity - and are encased by fat molecules, or lipids.
The magnetic bacteria contain a protein that moulds mini compartments for the nanomagnets to be formed in using the cell membrane lipids. Tanaka used a similar protein to make tubes of fat containing quantum dots - biological-based wiring.
"It is possible to tune these biological wires to have a particular electrical resistance. In the future, they could be grown connected to other components as part of an entirely biological computer," said Tanaka.
The research group and the team at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, led by Tadashi Matsunaga, now plan to examine the biological processes behind the behaviour of these proteins. "Our aim is to develop a toolkit of proteins and chemicals which could be used to grow computer components from scratch," adds Staniland.
The papers Biotemplated Magnetic Nanoparticle Arrays and Fabrication of Lipid Tubules with Embedded Quantum Dots by Membrane Tubulation Protein are published in the journal Small.

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

Person seen drunk outside a bar that must be a first!!!!!!
Its not like the red-neck bible bashers of Texas get drunk is it? Or can you only do it if you straight goto church and put on your KKK bed sheet and pillow case!
I am surprised they did not call out the national guard for somebody blowing a kiss at a officer. That sort of behaviour should of brought about a linching right? I mean being blown a kiss its worse than Saddam having WMD's or a George Bush Jr speech.
And they call it the lone star state its more like the lone brain cell state :D
I still dont get why they raided it – 2 days later! It is illegal to serve booze in Texas?? What possible 'reason' could they come up with?
y'all dont have str8 drunks down there?? oh right,,,,George Bush,,,,'nuff said!

Fujifilm TCL-X100 review: Is this partner to the X100/X100S the
new king of teleconverters? | Dave Pardue
I fell in love with the Fujifilm X100S shortly after we received it last year. It has such a solid feel, and I'm enamored with Fuji's dynamic range options and film simulation modes (they're more than just digital filters, as they change a range of things about the camera's color rendering). And then there's the retro looks that beat other manufacturers' retro looks, thanks in large part to the old-school mode-dial-by-proxy (the various dial combinations create the mode). These are all right up my stylistic alley. But for my particular shooting style there was the problem of that fixed 35mm equivalent focal length. There are certainly scores of enthusiast photographers who enjoy the simplicity of a fixed focal length and the art of zooming with your feet, and having been fortunate to have shot with the X100S I can very much appreciate the beauty of that logic. But I like shooting portraits and similar subject matter first and foremost, and the 35mm equivalent focal length just wasn't going to work for me. That is, until the TCL-X100 1.4x teleconverter walked into our lab and transformed the X100S into a 50mm eq. FLC……

This weekend I took the highly anticipated Fujifilm TCL-X100 for a spin at a wedding I photographed. Here are my initial thoughts. As ever, I'm not going to do a pixel-peeping review. There are places on-line that will do that very well for you. My review is going to be from a "working professionals" point of view. Warts and all. The TCL-X100 had been rumoured for a 2014 appearance for a long time, but it wasn't until I was at CP+ in February that I first set eyes on this Tele Conversion Lens that will fit the X100 and X100S. At CP+ I literally had a play, I didn't really get any chance to analyse images or shoot with it in anger. The feeling I came away with though was a positive one. As many of you know I'm a huge X100S fan. In fact, I can honestly say it's my favourite camera of all time. I shoot with my two X100S's (and sometimes my original X100 too) at weddings a lot and I love the WCL-X100 which gives me a wider focal length than the camera without an adapter……

Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R (Fujifilm) – Review | PhotoZone
The Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R is a highly attractive addition to the Fujifilm lens lineup. It combines an ultra-large aperture with high quality results. At large aperture settings the center quality is already pretty high whereas the borders/corners are at least on a good level. The resolution is much more snappy at f/2.8 and images are tack sharp between f/4 and f/5.6. The low amount of lateral CAs also contributes to the high sharpness perception. Image distortions are nothing to worry about whereas vignetting can be an issue in RAW images at f/1.4 and f/2. However, Fujifilm is relying on image auto-correction so this is usually a lesser issue from a user perspective. Wide-angle lenses tend to produce a quite harsh bokeh (out-of-focus rendition) but the quality of the Fujinon is really good especially around f/2. The build quality of the XF 23mm f/1.4 R is very high and as such in line with most Fujifilm offerings. The lens is mostly made of metal and precisely assembled. Due to its surprisingly low weight of just 300g it may not feel quite as substantial as -say- a Leica lens. However, objectively there's little to complain about except for the lack of weather sealing. The AF isn't overly fast but probably good enough for such a wide-angle lens. If you prefer to focus manually (by wire) every once in a while, the focus clutch mechanism may come handy. We would have preferred a full-time manual focusing mechanism though. Ultra-large aperture lenses tend to be very pricey and in absolute terms this also applies to the Fujinon. However, at less that 1000US$/EUR, it is relatively affordable in our opinion and certainly worth a deeper look. Therefore highly recommended!……

The Noctilux no doubt is an impressive lens, not just because of its size and weight. Center resolution is very good to excellent throughout the tested aperture range. In contrast, though, the image borders and corners are very soft at large apertures, but improve considerably by stopping down. In terms of build quality, the lens certainly meets even the highest expectations. Typical for such a fast lens, vignetting is very pronounced wide open and slightly stopped down. Surprisingly, this is still the case when the lens is 6-bit coded and thus the camera applies some correction. Bokeh is generally very smooth, except for the image corners wide open, but depending on the subject this may not be an issue at all in the field. Given the extreme challenges the lens design must have given the Leica engineers, this is no doubt impressive performance. But, is all that worth the enormous price? Well, it depends. First of all, the Noctilux ASPH certainly is one of those lenses one needs to learn to master. In addition, the differences in rendering compared to other fast, but far more affordable lenses are often subtle, but of course these lenses do not offer the speed, that "magic" aperture number below 1. To those who either simply need the speed or really care about the rendering characteristic, the Noctilux may well be worth its price. One should be aware, though, that the most expensive Leica lens is not necessarily the best one, but no doubt one of the most special ones…..

Leica M9 Revisited | Patrick Leong
I finally had some free time this weekend, so I did some much needed spring cleaning of my hard drive. I accumulate photos fast, and I have a bad habit of telling myself that I will store my photos properly another day but then I don't. Going through my hard drive is not something I was excited about but it was nice to look back at some of my old photos. Sometimes (especially in the digital world), I feel like all I'm doing is shooting, then processing, shooting, then processing. There are times when I don't really get the chance to just sit back and look at what I shot, and going through my old photos was really nice because each one brought back a specific memory. And for me, part of why I love photography is that it helps me preserve memories, and experiences that I went through. Thoughts like the weather, what I was thinking at the moment, and what I was doing at the time have been flooding back into my head. I shot a lot with my Leica M9, and low and behold, I actually found a folder with some of my M9 shots, so I thought I'd post a few…..

…. the Leica 75mm F1.4 Summilux-M's optical design is a derivative of the Leica 50mm Noctilux-M of the time. Dr. Mandler is generally considered as placing a high value on a lens' character – how it draws a scene. Common traits amongst Dr. Mandler lenses are smooth bokeh and the famed Leica glow. The 75mm Summilux is said to be Dr. Walter Mandler's favorite lens. Dr. Karbe's lenses are well known for their resolving capabilities and optical corrections, such as APO's. Some would say in his quest for technical exactness, Dr. Karbe is willing forsake optical aesthetics – some insights from a 2008 interview. Just as there are different optical philosophies, the 75mm Summilux-M has several personalities as well. Shot at F1.4 the lens is soft, but exhibits the Leica glow so many Leica fans seek. At F2-F2.8 the 75mm Summilux-M sharpens up, but still retains a pleasing bokeh. At F5.6-F8 the 75mm Summilux-M is very sharp and easily out-resolves the Leica M-240's 24 MP sensor. I have good and bad days the 75mm Summilux…..

I got the Leica M9 43 hours after the release in New York on September 9, 2009 at 9:09 AM, and since then I've been shooting it a lot. My Leica M9 had shot more than 4,000 frames the first week where (I was doing long assignments every day and shot it on continious) and it has been in the frontline more than the Leica Digilux 2 and Leica R9/DMR ever since. The Leica M9 changed the way I work after a few months back in 2009. I realized I could do erverything with this small camera that I used to have a trolley of Leica dSLR camreas for. It changed my setup from a trolley of gear to a camera over the shoulder. By the time I got the Leica M 240 (also known as Leica M10) in March 2013, my main Leica M9 had shot more than 150,000 frames (or an average of 119 photos a day). I started off with this page a few weeks after I had gotten the Leica M9, and since then it's just developed into a 18+ page long ongoing journal as camera review and user report, written over more than three years of continious use of the Leica M9 as my main camera. If you have just gotten the Leica M9, Leica M9-P or Leica M-E you may find page 12 useful as it contains my most recent settings based on 60,000+ photos taken witht he Leica M9. Particular on this page 1 there is a section about Adobe Lightroom 2 and camera profiles which is not as current as the advice on page 12 that deals with Lightroom 3 workflow…….

When Fujifilm announced the X-T1 in February I wasn't sure if it was the camera I wanted to complement my existing X-Pro1 and X100 because of it's DSLR layout. Yes, this is a full on X-Series Compact System Camera, but it is the first with a central EVF (Electronic View Finder) and a DSLR, rather than Rangefinder, design. Fast forward and on Tuesday 15 April I purchased the X-T1 and VG-XT1 grip and now here is my first thoughts on owning and using the latest pro level camera from Fujifilm. Ever since getting the X-Pro1 in October 2013 I have been struggling with the reasons to keep the full frame Nikon D800 and four lenses (I sold the D700 and two lenses to pay for the X-Pro1 and four primes). Don't get me wrong, the D800 is a stunning camera and it's 36mp full frame sensor produces the goods when I can be bothered to pack it into the camera bag. And that's the rub, the weight of the Nikon and its associated lenses, are not worth the hassle when I can get the quality I need from the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X100….

I'm not a big vacation/travel photography type of person. I believe (and recent articles have shown it be true) that taking too many photographs can actually ruin your memory of the scene. You see this all the time, right…people standing in front of an amazing piece of art and instead of looking at it with their eyes, they look at it through the screen of their iPhone. Come on, Man! Anyway, despite my policy on photographing less, and enjoying more, I did (of course) bring a camera to my recent 10-day London and Paris holiday. I travel with a "less is more" approach, and that extends to my camera gear. So, I packed my new Fujifilm X-T1 along with just two lenses: 23mm 1.4 and 18-55 zoom. I thought about bringing the 56 1.2, but decided to leave it at home because it's really a portrait lens, and it's relatively heavy. Overall, I have no regrets with bringing only 2 lenses. In fact, if I had to bring just one lens, it would be the 23 1.4 without a doubt, and I would have been fine. The X-T1 proved excellent, with just a few possible exceptions (more on that below). First, the positives……

Review of the FujiFilm X-T1 | Frank Doorhof
I'm not really a brand person, we use a lot of Apple but I've always said that if I found something better I would switch, well up until now we never did so I guess Apple still fits my needs. Cameras the same thing, I've used Canon many many years (and loved it) but switched to Sony for the sheer dynamic range of the cameras, but let's be honest sometimes you want something a bit smaller, so the search began for the perfect small camera… and I gave up….. to say they were all junk was well…. actually the truth, of course there were some nice ones but in the end I never used them…… that was until I first got to know FujiFilm, wow amazing cameras with a small form factor and finally the image quality we are used from a DSLR, but the X100 only had one lens so… not my thing. When FujiFilm introduced the X-Pro1 and later the X-E1 I was sold. FujiFilm not only knows how to build a camera that brings the joy back into photography but they also know how to build lenses, good grieves those babies are sharp and good, the kitlens gives a new meaning to the word kitlens (normally not that good but this one rocks), and FujiFilm knows how to keep us photographers happy, if you want faster AF don't worry you don't have to buy a new lens… they just upgrade the lens COOL………
