If you are a fellow photographer would you be surprised if I told you the image above was taken with a 16 mm lens?  My new Fuji camera is simply amazing for it's usability. The Fuji 16 mm 1.4 is a lens like no other.  The way I can just get as close as I can and still hold focus allows me to work a room for an event unlike ever before.  The image above was literally taken inches away from the rings.  I wanted to post this image for the sake of saying the name brand of your camera does NOT matter if you know how to get the shot.  The equipment we use is just the tool to get the job done.
