My name is Stefano Paletti, I was born 48 years ago in Milan (Italy), I am currently living in Andorra for some years now. My passion for photography started small when my grandfather gave me my first film camera, a Kodak Retinette of 1959, which at that time could be considered a technological jewel. With the passing of the years and the rapid advancement of technology, I started studying the new techniques of digital photography, a wonderful world of continuous evolution with infinite horizons to discover. E voilà! so I came to the news. Today I consider myself a photographer for a completely self-taught passion. I like to define myself as a “hunter of images” and a lover of nature, immense open spaces, where all my senses are rewarded by the beauty that mother nature is capable of offering us, colors, lights, scents and sounds. When time allows me, I take my photographic equipment, geographic map in hand, and I head to a new path, looking for new scenarios to be immortalized. It is a medicine for the heart and mind.

TOMASH: What is your favorite camera / lens combination these days?
STEFANO PALETTI: My two jewels I’m currently using are a Fujifilm X-T2 and a Fujifilm X-T20, with the following lenses: XF56mm f/1.2, XF16mm f/1.4, XF10-24mm f/4.
X-T20 + XF35mm f2. ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/400s
What are the three main features of the Fujifilm X Series that make this system so attractive for you?
I love the Fujifilm system for its outstanding image quality, richness in the details, an excellent dynamic range, a high-pitched seal to envy a full frame. The bodies are exceptionally well constructed with high-end finishes, with that retro touch that only Fuji has been able to reproduce.
X-T2 + XF56mm f/1.2. ISO 100, f/3.2, 1/1200 s.
What do you think Fujifilm could or should still improve in the X Series?
In my opinion, the only thing that could be added to the bodies would be a stabilization of the image. When it comes to the rest, I think they are already done with everything.
X-T2 + XF10-24mm f/4. ISO 100, f/8, 1/400 s.
Would you have one quick personal Fuji X tip for FujiLovers? A technical trick or a less known setting we could all benefit from?
I honestly do not feel like giving any advice in particular, just a little bit… enjoy these wonderful cameras!!!!
X-T2 + XF10-24mm f/4. ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/250 s.
Would you be willing to share with us your “best” photograph taken with a Fujifilm X camera along with its EXIF info?
Certainly, I’m honored!
X-T20 + XF35mm f/2. ISO 100, f/6, 1/800 s.
