The new MacLean Photographic website is now Live

-

First of all may I apologise for the lack of activity on this blog in the past six weeks, it has been a hectic month renewing contracts and changing over to a new website.  I also have some exciting stuff coming up in the next few weeks and I will be posting again on a regular basis.

 One of the main reasons I have been absent for a while is... (drumroll) .... MacLean Photographic is now a dot com and I have a new, completely refreshed website. There is a holding page at macleanphotographic.co.uk with a redirection to the new site, so that will still work for now.

 The new macleanphotographic.com website is hosted by SquareSpace and I have used a clean and simple to use layout for the various pages.  There is even a better and easier to use online shop, which has allowed me for the first time to sell prints.

 While the website is up and running I will still be tweaking it over the next few weeks and I would be grateful for anyone reading this to give their feedback in the comments below, especially if you find an error or a bug.

The new site is designed to be used over multiple platforms and I have been checking it out on my iPhone and iPad as well.  Again if you spot any issues please let me know.

 I received a 10% discount with SquareSpace thanks to Peter McKinnon, a Canadian YouTuber I am following and he has become my 'GoTo' for video editing and Vlogging (not done much vlogging - yet!). Check out the link and there is a 10% discount code in the comments section.

 Anyway check out the new site at www.macleanphotographic.com and let me know what you think.

REVIEW: The New Fujinon 2x Converter

-

Yesterday Fujifilm launched the latest edition to the Fujinon XF lens line up, the XF 2X TC WR teleconverter for use with the XF50-140mm f2.8 and XF100-400mm f4.5/5.6 zoom lenses.  In April I was invited by Fujifilm to test the new converter and here are my thoughts on this new lens. Before I go into details I need to be upfront about something.  I've never been a fan of 2x converters because the optical quality of the lens is usually affected to a large degree.   I did have a 1.4x and 2x converter for my lenses when I was shooting with Nikon. While the 1.4x converter was regularly attached to my long f2.8 lenses, the 2x converter was probably used about three times in the 18 years I used Nikkor lenses.  I didn't like the results when using the converter so tended to not use it. Anyway back to the X-Series!  The 1.4x Fujinon converter was launched in 2015 and I have been a fan of this diminutive lens attachment on both the 50-140mm and 100-400mm.  The optical qu

REVIEW: Using Nikon Lenses on a Fuji X Camera

I've been using the Fujifilm X-Pro1 for the past month and I haven't enjoyed my photography so much since I bought the Fuji X100 12 months earlier.  The only issue I have with the X-Pro1 is the lack of a long telephoto lens.  The longest lens I have is the 60mm f2.4, which is the equivalent of a 90mm telephoto; it's a great lens but I sometimes wish my Fuji system had a bit more pulling power.   Fuji have provided the X system with a telephoto zoom, the 55-200mm f3.5 / f4.8 R LM OIS and I will be testing this lens next week for three days. I will be showing the results on this blog. However my Nikon kit has one of the best short telephoto zooms in the world, the Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 AF-D.  I bought this lens brand new in 1996 for £1600.00 and it has been a faithful companion ever since. I've bought and sold plenty of SLRs / DSLRs in the past 18 years but I've never felt the need to upgrade the 80-200mm because it is still optically the best lens I own and it ha

Rode Wireless Go for the Fujifilm X-T4

One of the things I learned very quickly when using video is the need for clear audio. It doesn't matter how good the video looks, if the audio is poor, then the video is not going to be well received. Over the years I have invested in good, portable microphones even invested in a radio mic system.  This worked really well but when working in a motorsport environment, a broad range of radio frequencies are used for various uses and radio microphone frequencies are strictly controlled.  in some countries you also need to buy a licence, which can cost hundreds of pounds, so I quickly reverted back to wired microphones. This brought its own problems as when interviewing drivers the surrounding environment can be noisy, so you need to get the microphone as close as possible.  Of course, the extra added complication in the last few months means the interviewer has to stand at least 1.5 metres, which means wires trailing across the floor, which isn't good. In March
