I attended this year’s Fujifilm Australia People with Cameras event in Sydney’s The Royal Botanic Gardens on Saturday, November 17, carrying my Fujifilm X-Pro2, Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R prime lens, Fujifilm MHG-XPro2 metal hand grip and Fujifilm LH-XF23 lens hood.
I also had a Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R lens in my Think Tank Photo MindShift Gear rotation180° Travel Away backpack, now sadly discontinued, along with a surprising amount of personal and other items carried in the event of rain during this strange weather we have been having.
The event was very well attended, with Fujifilm Australia supplying a large amount of free food and drink later that afternoon.

Fujifilm MHG-XPro2 metal hand grip for Fujifilm X-Pro2.
Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R prime lens with manual clutch focus, equivalent to 35mm in the 35mm sensor format.
Fujifilm LH-XF23 Lens Hood for Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R prime lens.
Cosyspeed Camslinger Streetomatic Plus Camera Bag is an excellent waist-pack for carrying a minimal kit such as a Fujifilm X-Pro 2 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8.
MindShift Gear Travel Away backpack by Think Tank Photo, now sadly discontinued. It is an excellent solution for when needing to reduce the weight load on your back while still needing plenty go personal items while travelling or on assignment, and is an especially good carrying solution for journalists.
With the end of photography trade shows in Sydney for several years now, events like this where one can see and try photographic hardware before making the decision to buy are welcome, crucial even, and I would love to see Fujifilm and other vendors put on more such events more frequently.
The previous People with Cameras feels like it happened over two years ago now and I hope it will not be two years until the next one.
