This is the third and final part of my wide angle lens experience blog series. If you haven’t read my two wide angle lens write-ups, you can find them here

Today my focus is on the Fujinon 14mm f2.8. The lens that I ultimately bought and added to my Fujifilm kit. It is one of the oldest lenses on the X mount lineup, released way back in 2012! It has a similar size, weight and feel as the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens. It even has the same lens hood and filter size. This means all my current ND and polarising filters will fit nicely on this lens. This is a great bonus as I’m planning to use this lens to do landscape and long exposure photography.

If you haven’t heard of a little neighborhood cafe in Perth called Cafe Leadman you should check it out! I’m not generally one to visit a cafe multiple times in a short space (I love trying new places!) yet I did visit Cafe Leadman twice in a month. The food is a little bit Asian inspired (there’s a fancy giant bowl of gourmet Mi Goreng) and very tasty. My favourite is actually the prawn brioche roll, which I ordered on both occasions.

A couple of months ago, we decided to do a 1-night staycation at QT Perth. It was a public holiday long weekend and rather than travelling interstate or join the bustle of driving down south to the wine region, we decided to make QT Perth our home away from home. Since my last visit to QT Perth as a volunteer photographer for Open House Perth, I’ve been interested in actually staying at QT Perth. I was attracted to it’s modern and whimsical architecture and interior. The hotel experience didn’t disappoint.
