Patona Premium battery tested

Patona Premium battery tested

I have just finished testing of a new Patona Premium battery that works as a replacement for the Fujifilm NP-W126S. It performs very well, definitely exceeds the ordinary Patona and shares pretty much the same results as the best non-OEM battery tested so far — ExPro White.

There’s a small stream meandering the meadow and so the morning fog is rather common — which is a welcomed element for landscape photography! I have a cottage nearby, so it was rather…
