This past weekend, a buddy was co-organizing a local 5k/10k race in our town and he asked me to get some photos. It was a first time doing photography for a foot race and was a lot of fun. Since there was only one of me, I brought my road bike along and once the runners left the start line, I strapped on my big backpack full of camera gear and raced off to grab some shots at various parts of the course.

Enter the Fujifilm X-T5
The urge to upgrade to the newly released Fujifilm X-T5 was strong and was solidified by fighting with the autofocus system of my old (hint hint) X-Pro3 in a dimly lit gym trying to keep track of my daughter doing her gymnastics routine. After that night of struggling with the focus and the camera just getting in my way, I made a rash decision to sell the X-Pro3 and try to find an X-T5 in stock somewhere. Lo and behold, within 30 minutes of listing the X-Pro3 kit for sale it sold and I managed to find an in stock silver X-T5 that arrived 2 days later.

MotoAmerica Race Day at Pittsburgh International Race Complex
While the Fuji X-Pro2 generally isn’t thought of as a ‘sports camera’, today it did an admirable job while spectating at a Superbike race. I had the Fuji 55-200mm lens on front and the combo did a pretty good job at keeping up with the bikes zipping past.
