Handheld moonlight photos

With an incredible aperture of F1.0, the Fujifilm XF 50mm F1.0 R WR lens allows you to capture subjects in near pitch black situations.
The first night after I got this lens, I walked around my backyard with only a full moon to light my way. I was able to capture photos of flowers, handheld, at ISO 800, F 1.0, and the shutter speed was 1/8.
With the assistance of the IBIS in my X-T4, I was able to capture clear photos which would have been otherwise impossible in similar conditions.
Getting an ND or Variable ND filter of some kind is a great idea, even with the electronic shutter active, you will still over-expose images at F1.0 in bright daylight (even with base ISO of 160).
I picked up a 6-9 stop VND from Moment, beautifully made filter with a nice look (no noticeable colour-cast or anything).
This is my first prime lens from Fuji, definitely not my last I tell ya that much.
I am looking forward to trying the XF 18mm F1.4 next.
If you are concerned about focus speed, I would only worry (slightly) if it’s a high speed subject coming towards the camera. I am sure the newer camera(s) will yield more consistent results in that situation.
A must buy for any serious portrait photographer in the Fujifilm system, especially if you want that creamy-bokeh look, some have told me it resembles a larger sensor look in some ways.
Cheers,
Nicholas.

I would recommend this to a friend!
