On July 10th, 2022, the UCI Cross Country World Cup took place in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. This year, I limited myself to shooting everything on an affordable, 27mm f/2.8 (40mm equivalent) pancake lens, on my Fujifilm x-t4. I think this lens strikes a great balance between a wide angle and a somewhat more "portrait-y" lens and it is hella portable. Below are some photos of the two main races!
