Henry Fong's first post on DPReview is awesome. His flickr account is even more impressive. Also, he appears to be a Fujifilm XT-1 shooter.
porridge to the Horseman VCC Pro
My general disdain for hype led me by Kenko’s CP+2014 booth where the Horseman VCC Pro was on display. (Earlier I wrote a relatively useless preview of it when paired with the Fujifilm X-Pro 1.)

Hiking with the Fujifilm X-T1
