I have already done quite a bit of measurements of several NP-W126S batteries, either originals or 3rd party clones in my big test. However, I haven’t gone beyond the + and – terminals, while the batteries have 4 in total. It’s about time to correct this omission today! A bit of theory All Li-ion batteries obviously have at least two terminals: + and -. Some of them feature more than these two though, as is the case of NP-W126S, where…
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. It’s a pleasure to see a battery that delivers the claimed capacity. Check out the full test results!
Lens need to be packed somehow when travelling in order to prevent their damage. One of the often used options is to carry them in a photo backpack, which usually includes some internal compartments with padding. This definitely is a convenient way of lens, camera and other gear storage, but for my personal needs it isn’t flexible enough. Sometimes I need just a day pack for photo gear, rain gear and some food, another time a much larger backpack for…
The new article covers everything about Fujifilm batteries charging, portable power sources and methods for unlimited shooting. It finishes the trilogy of articles about NP-W126 battery alternatives and X-T2 power management. Have a look!
There’s a new article, where Fujifilm lenses line up for landscape photography is analyzed, their image quality, together with other aspects taken into account in order to create a compact system covering most focal lengths. Sample images provided! 🙂
In the new article X-T2 power saving features are analyzed — power required for the Boost mode, Pre-AF, various brightness levels of LCD or EVF is measured and compared, resulting in recommended settings.
The NP-W126S battery test article was significantly updated, there was added temperature measurement of all the batteries and also ExPro White battery was added to the test.
When I saw narcissus bloom on a mountain meadow the last spring, I marked the date in my calendar for this year to return and make some photographs. Due to a colder spring, it took a bit longer than the last year, but the meadow is beautiful again. 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…
There’s a new article published about the L-brackets for Fujifilm X-T2. Apart from description of more than 5 available options, it also helps with the choice of a remote shutter release that fits well between tripod and X-T2 connectors compartment.
What does the title of this website mean? Well, Photography is probably more or less obvious — I love landscape photography. It was started by watching some beautiful sceneries, spectacular sunsets and I quickly wanted to capture the beauty. From there it was quite a way to understand how to make photographs at least nearly as good as the reality, but I have always enjoyed the process of learning. And what about the Ultralight stuff? It’s based on the concept…
