Yet we not only "do" photography, but we even pay to read about it ;-) "• Vast numbers of people, including many former enthusiast/hobbyist photographers, are apparently happy enough with smartphones…" It should be added that most of my clients wouldn't care if I delivered photographs with my 30+ Mp camera or my phone … as long as I deliver the image they want. -Schaf

Hi Mike, Fantastic Post! (or at least extraordinary) When I was looking for a name for an instagram blog about bad architecture I thought about the terms uglyarchitecture, crappyarchitecture and terriblearchitecture, etc. But I ended up going with remarkable architecture for the reasons you just described. It allows me to post the occasional photo of something really good or exceptional (another word that doesn't mean great or good). I like the word fantastic, which shouldn't mean good at all but is almost always used as such. Have an impressive day, -Schaf

Hi Mike, The XH-1 is my Methadone. I'm a recovering Polaroidaholic, I was able to feed the monkey on my back after big P's demise by shooting up on Fujiroid instant 100-B. Then when my Roid pusher Samy couldn't deliver anymore I had a smuggler bring it in from the Asian black market. Then the well dried up, I had to go cold turkey. Samy said just rent this Fuji, the first one's free... The gateway drug to Fuji. Now I Digi-Roid for all my analog HABS/HAER photography. I started with the X-M1, then XE-1, then I got the XT-2 but I couldn't read the tiny white numbers on the screen easily, The XH-1 has that great big window with the "meter reading" staring up at my reading glasses. I have it speed matched to my processing time for Iilford HP-5, I take a f16 aperture priority auto bracket of 3 exposures with the jpeg preview set to monochrome, and look at the articulated screen for a histogram and preview of what it will look like as a black and white print in my darkroom, transfer those meter readings to the copal shutter and bingo. I guess that's Fuji-Digi-Roid, and I'm more addicted than ever. If you have the latest version of Lightroom, the little known, new "Enhance Details" feature does wonders to improve the definition and "worminess" of fine X-Trans details by running the original RAW file through an algorithm. You'll be shocked, I apply it to all my keepers, it takes a while to run, but worth it.
