Mirrorless Pics: Obsidian knife with the Fujifilm X-E1


Every year since 2018, I've made a point of buying a knife from the flint knapper in the Pioneer Village at the Indiana State Fair. This one, with a blade of rainbow obsidian, was the first.

These photographs were taken with my Fujifilm X-E1, wearing the Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 lens.

The X-E1 was Fuji's second camera in its X-mount lineup. It's essentially an X-Pro without the bulky and expensive electro-optical hybrid viewfinder. Instead, it has a conventional high-res OLED electronic viewfinder, albeit with higher resolution than the electro- part of the X-Pro's hybrid finder. It's also got a bit more plastic in the body shell than the rugged X-Pro. The 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor is the same as the one on the more expensive camera.
