10 of the Most Useful Fujifilm X70 Accessories

04/04/2016 By Heather

The Fujifilm X70 was announced alongside the flagship X-Pro2 in January 2016. Since then, it has become a favourite among street and travel photographers looking for a light and compact body that delivers the same image quality and autofocus performance as the latest X series cameras.

Below you can find a list of accessories you might find useful on your X70. Some emphasise the beauty of the camera, while others serve to protect it or improve its functionality and versatility.

The Best Mirrorless Camera Accessories: 15 professional photographers share their favourite tools

31/07/2015 By Heather

The world of digital photography is richer in camera accessories than it is in cameras themselves. For any given camera, there are at least a dozen accessories to match, many of which have been expressly designed for that specific model. Indeed, it is no surprise that some of our most popular articles here on MirrorLessons are accessory lists.

Although Mathieu and I have the chance to try a number of mirrorless camera accessories, it is highly unlikely that we’ll ever be able to try them all. Even if we could, we would inevitably wind up promoting the products that suit us the best.

The thing is, what works for us may not work for you. This is why, for this particular list, we decided to seek out the opinion of fifteen well-known professional photographers who use mirrorless cameras.

We focussed on four accessories that people are most likely to need – flashes, tripods, straps, bags and filters – and selected the photographers according to importance of these accessories to their work. For example, we sought out tripod recommendations from prolific landscape photographers, as they are more likely to use tripods out in the field than, say, a street or wedding photographer.

As always, if you have a mirrorless accessory recommendation, please do not hesitate to share in the comments section of this article. We’re always interested in learning about new products!

A big “thank you” to all the photographers who contributed to this article!

Our Favourite Sony A6000 Accessories

03/07/2015 By Heather

The Sony a6000, as cameras go, is fairly complete in terms of its construction and design. In addition to being a very portable size, it is endowed with a lightweight yet sturdy chassis, a substantial frontal grip, and a nice textured thumb rest. Not to wax lyrical but the design is so well-conceived that it almost feels like an extension of your hand.

Consequently, the a6000 isn’t really a camera that cries out to be accessorised. In fact, since I bought the camera for myself, most of the few basic accessories I’ve found myself using are simply helpful extras rather than essential items.

Since a number of our readers have emailed us asking which accessories we’d recommend for the camera, I’ve prepared a list of the products I’ve personally found the most useful. You may find that many are repeat items from other lists we’ve prepared about similar mirrorless cameras, but this is simply because we’ve enjoyed using them so much.

Finally, as we obviously haven’t tried every accessory on the market, we encourage you to share your two cents in the comments section if you have a favourite a6000 accessory to recommend!

Our 10 Favourite Fujifilm X100T Accessories

03/03/2015 By Heather

There are few mirrorless cameras photographers enjoy accessorising more than the X100 series and the latest iteration, the X100T, is no exception. The camera’s fetching design summons up fond memories of the days of film, compelling its owners to adorn it with products that emphasise its beauty and render it as functional as possible. And with so many native and third-party add-ons to choose from, it is also a very easy camera to accessorise.

5 Useful Accessories for Your Brand New Panasonic Lumix LX100

At the risk of contradicting the title of this article, the Panasonic Lumix LX100 is a camera that actually doesn’t require much accessorising, at least not to amplify its good looks. Of all the mirrorless cameras we’ve tested, apart from the X100 series from Fujifilm and the Olympus Pen E-PL7, it has the most attractive design we’ve come across.
