How the Fujifilm 18mm F1.4 Changed The Way I Shoot

I mentioned in last months post how I’m so impressed with the new Fujifilm XF 18mm F1.4 L WR LM Lens.

Many of the images you see below are also shown in that post, but I wanted to point you towards my YouTube video (below), where I speak specifically about how and why I think this lens is a game-changer for me as a wedding photographer.

I’ll let the video explain in detail.

Here are some of this images featured in the video, and a few more.

Film Edition 1 & 2 Bundle Lightroom Presets
£15.00

A complete foundational Film Edition bundle for Lightroom

Film Edition 1 & 2 Bundle brings together the first two Kevin Mullins Film Edition Lightroom preset collections, giving you the foundational packs that started my film-inspired editing range. It includes a mix of black-and-white looks, colour film styles, profile-based processes, Legends presets, utilities, and noise-reduction tools.

This is not a bundle of random slider-based presets. Both packs are built around carefully crafted, profile-based processes designed to give your images a more natural, film-inspired starting point in Lightroom. Film Edition 1 leans into subtle black-and-white film emulation with bonus colour looks, while Film Edition 2 expands the system with a broader set of colour and monochrome profiles, plus the first Legends presets.

If you want a simple, lower-cost way into the Kevin Mullins Presets range, this bundle is a good starting point. It does not include the newer Film Edition 3, 4, or 5 packs, nor the later AI-powered utilities, but it does give you the original profile-led film workflow that the later collections grew from.
