TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR
THE FUJIFILM X-T4
& ITS ACCESSORIES
THE NEWEST LOVE
I’ve dedicated an entire blog post to this new camera body.
In short, I needed a proper workhorse - something that would allow me to both shoot photos and record stabilized footage, thanks to the IBIS built into the camera.
My X-E4 simply couldn’t meet that need, so I had to add the X-T4 to my arsenal.
What can I say - I barely use anything else now.
This isn’t the place to go into full detail, so as mentioned, you’ll find a deeper dive in the blog section.
FUJIFILM X-T4 BODY
THE ZOOM LENS I USE
To make the X-T4 truly versatile, I needed a versatile lens - and this one is exactly that.
The Fujifilm 18–55mm is everything I needed. In fact, I almost stopped using my other lenses after getting it.
Even if, technically, image quality may not match Fuji primes, for street photography it is more than enough. Honestly, I doubt most people could distinguish between a prime shot and a zoom shot - and I’m including myself in that.

ND FILTER
Especially when I know I’ll be recording footage, I mount this ND filter on my X-T4 and just leave it on.
This K&F Concept variable ND filter is my personal choice.
Why?
No noticeable color shift
No vignette issues
Fully variable density (all-in-one solution)
Magnetic mount for fast attachment/removal
That last point is huge. Being able to quickly remove the filter without unscrewing it completely changes the workflow. I’ve lost motivation to shoot many times simply because swapping ND filters broke my momentum.
K&F Concept 58 mm Nano-X Magnetic Variable ND Filter
UV FILTER
For all the times I’m not using an ND filter, I’ve gotten into the habit of using a UV filter instead.
Not for its intrinsic purpose, but purely to protect the front element of the lens. Since I mostly shoot street photography, my gear is constantly exposed to the elements - and to everything else: accidental hits, people brushing past, bags, elbows, you name it.
Because of that, I prefer having that extra layer of protection.
A good quality UV filter won’t affect image quality in any noticeable way, so for me, it’s an easy choice.

SOFT SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON
The shutter button on the X-T4 is relatively flat. When I shoot, I don’t like interacting with extra buttons - I prefer to keep everything simple, relying only on half-pressing the shutter for focus and exposure lock.
Because the button is flat by default, it can sometimes make precise half-press control a bit tricky, leading to accidental shots. So I recommend this soft shutter release button.

BATTERIES
I’ll always sound repetitive when it comes to batteries.
Original ones are simply too expensive, especially considering that third-party options nowadays do the exact same job without any noticeable difference.
Personally, I recommend this battery + charger set: it costs less than a single original X-T4 battery, and for me, it’s been more than enough.

SHOULDER STRAP
The X-T4 weighs around 500 grams, and once you add battery and SD card, you’re already above 600 grams, without even considering the lens. In total, you’re often holding close to a 1kg setup. Not heavy-heavy, but not light either.
So a solid strap is necessary.
I personally use this one, reinforced with extra rings and attachments I’ve adapted from previous straps over time. Be careful though: the X-T4’s strap eyelets are quite small, so not all straps will fit properly. Some may simply not pass through the opening.

THE SECOND LOVE
My second addition to my photography gear - and I love it.
The Fujifilm X-E4 is incredibly easy to set up, super compact, and impressively responsive.
Perfect for travel, especially when you want to keep your gear light and minimal without compromising on quality.
And the best part? It won’t break the bank.
FUJIFILM X-E4 BODY
FIRST LENS
35MM (53MM EQUIVALENT)
Funny enough, when I first got into photography, I was all about wide lenses - especially the 28mm look.
I never imagined I’d end up loving the 50mm so much. But now, it’s the lens I use the most, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with it.
(I dedicated blog posts and insights on a few YouTube videos about this lent. Check them out for a more detailed review about this lens!)
Fujifilm FUJINON XF 35mm F2 R WR
SECOND LENS
50MM (75MM EQUIVALENT)
What a beautiful surprise this lens turned out to be!
It’s definitely not for everyone, but it will really help you get more creative and experimental with your photography. I 100% recommend it.

HAND GRIP
I found this hand grip at a very affordable price and decided to give it a try.
The X-E4 doesn’t really offer much in terms of grip. Even though it’s compact, after a few hours of shooting your hand or fingers can start to feel it, depending on how you hold the camera.
Personally, I haven’t taken it off since - I don’t think I will. It’s incredibly comfortable and not intrusive at all.

LENS HOOD I
Whenever I use my 35mm lens (50mm equivalent) I protect it with this lens hood. I get quite close to subjects so, yeah! Especially in crowded places it gives you an extra protection to the lens.
Haoge Silver Lens Hood
LENS HOOD II
Same thing goes to when I use the 50mm (75mm equivalent). I can’t get ride of these lens hoods: for what they offer, they’re not cheap. But I shoot with more freedom of mind knowing I got them mounted in front of my lenses.

UV FILTER
And just like I do for my zoom lens, I like to protect my prime lenses by using an UV filter.
This is a good quality one so it won’t affect your photos. Just pick the correct size for your lens!
K&F CONCEPT 43mm MC UV Protection Filter
ND FILTER
Do you love slow shutter photography like I do?
Then you know how tough it can be during daytime - especially with the sun up. No matter how much you close your aperture, your shots can end up overexposed.
This filter solves that problem easily. With 9 stops, it’s perfect for any situation.
K&F Concept Nano-K 43mm ND Filter ND2-400
SOFT SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON
This accessory is completely optional, but it’s something I personally can’t live without.
It makes shooting and focusing feel much more comfortable - and hey, it even adds a nice pop of color to the camera!

WRIST STRAP
Personally, I believe a wrist strap for this camera can be enough for you. The Fuji X-E4 is relatively compact, even if it uses interchangeable lenses.
However, if you’re using a zoom lens instead of a small prime, things change. The weight increases and the setup becomes front-heavy, which makes a proper strap necessary.

FUJIFILM X-E4 THIRD-PARTY BATTERIES
Original camera batteries cost as much as a flight within Europe, so I choose high-quality third-party batteries that perform just as well as the originals.
Plus, they come with a battery charger included!

THE RICOH GR III
& ITS ACCESSORIES
THE FIRST LOVE
The Ricoh GR III is, for me, a miraculous camera.
It’s compact, reliable, and performs on par with cameras that cost three to four times as much.
RICOH GR III DIARY EDITION
WRIST STRAP
Offering extra safety against both drops and snatching, this wrist strap is a must-have. Comfortable, secure, and discreet.
(The camera comes with a wrist strap… but honestly, I think it’s poorly made. It’s basically just a thin lace, and it never gave me any real sense of security.)
JJC Wrist Strap
DUST PROTECTION
One of the Ricoh’s main concern is the dust getting in the sensor.
Personally, I haven’t experienced it (yet), but I decided to take precautions anyway.
When the GR lens extends, it creates a sort of vacuum effect, which can pull dust inside.
My solution:
An adapter ring
An ND filter
Yes, this makes the camera less pocketable - but still much smaller than most cameras in its category.
It also protects the lens mechanism, which in my case actually broke once after a fall in Madrid.

BATTERY CHARGER
If you want to charge multiple *Ricoh GR III* batteries at the same time, this charger is definitely the best option.

FLASH
During my month in Asia, I experimented with everything - slow shutter, very slow shutter, vintage lenses… and flash.
Since I’m not an expert, I went for a simple solution: the smallest and most affordable flash I could find. It does the job.

PROTECTIVE CASE
As you know, the Ricoh easily fits into a pants pocket. That said, I always recommend carrying the camera in a dedicated case - both for protection and because it’s a genuinely useful (and great-looking) accessory.
In my opinion, this is the best case out there. Even with lens caps on (like the ones I linked above), the camera fits snugly and stays well protected inside.

VIDEO-CAMERA
For the sake of my YouTube's journey, I "had" to get a camera able to capture footage of my trips/vlogs. I believe this is one of the most affordable solutions I’ve seen, especially since it already includes the lens I usually use.
Of course, there are more high-performance and/or professional options out there, but this one has never let me down, and holding it in my hands gives me a real sense of solid durability.

EXTRA LENS
This one is meant for low-light situations, since it's a very bright lens.
It’s not essential, but it can be very useful at times.

MICROPHONE
If there’s one downside to this camera, it’s the internal microphone. It’s just… bad.
So I went for the most discreet and compact solution I could find.
And I have to admit - I honestly couldn’t have asked for better, especially considering the price.

ACTION CAMERA
If you discovered me through YouTube, this is the camera I use to record pretty much everything. And let me tell you - I’m absolutely in love with it.
The image quality is outstanding in any lighting condition, the battery lasts for hours, and it has never given me a single issue.
If you're planning to document what you do, do yourself a favor and get this camera.
You won’t regret it.

ND FILTER
To avoid too much light entering in the sensor, an nd filter is a must. With this one you can also regulate the density of it for every occasion.
K&F ND32-512
CHEST MOUNT
This is the main one I use for most POV shots.
The advantage is stability: since it’s strapped tightly to my torso, it eliminates unwanted movement. The DJI is already well-stabilized, but minimizing physical motion improves consistency.
However, it’s quite invasive. It’s essentially a harness, so you won’t go unnoticed. It also requires adjustment and setup, which is mechanical and slightly annoying. In hot weather, it can also make you sweat more due to reduced breathability.
Sametop Chest Mount
NECK MOUNT
Another support I’ve recently added is this neck mount.
It’s rigid and well-balanced, so it doesn’t wobble excessively. Even in hot weather, it’s more comfortable and less sweaty than the body strap.
The only downside is positioning: the camera sits slightly higher, around upper chest level instead of sternum level. This makes it more visible, and I’ve noticed it attracts more attention.
Here you’ll need to decide your trade-off:
The body strap feels more “professional” and controlled
The neck mount feels more casual, but more visible and tourist-like
Comfort vs discretion. It’s your call.
