## Resource

In Focus on this week, James and Mike argue the merits and demerits of fast lenses. Does anyone really need f/1.2 and f/0.95 glass? Should anyone really be shooting wide open? What counts as a fast lens in telephoto terms? We also discuss how Canon has returned fire against the onslaught of cheap superfast glass made by Chinese brands. Then, in our Gear Up segment, we get up close and personal with the Fujifilm X-T30 III. On the surface it's a beginner camera, but it's also loaded with high-end features like 6K open gate – so who is this camera for, and can it tempt Mike away from Nikon? Closing the show, in Trouble Shooting, Mike shares his pro tips as a motorsports photographer as we break down how to shoot fast action, from tech to technique, to help you shoot everything from sports to wildlife.
