Any mk1 users using their cameras with adapters and manual focus lenses? If so, what adapter and lens combo and how do you find it?

I'm calling shenanigans on all the other entries as there's not a bit of rebate showing yet.

Twice a week plus during every lens change. It's an easy job and swabs are cheap so no reason not to.

Forget the autofocus, manual focus is finally useable!

What's the script with Lightroom and these Fuji RAW files then? I'm using LR3 just now and it doesn't like them. I can't upgrade to LR5 without upgrading my OS to at least OSX10.7 (currently on 10.6.8). I could run LR4 and could seemingly purchase it for around £20. I wouldn't mind this since...

They look good, well, worth a punt anyway. Cheers for the link. I can't find Hahnel versions for a sensible price. With these NP50s it seems that the choices on ebay are super cheap unbranded ones or slightly less cheap 'genuine' ones that are most likely fake. If I look at WEX etc - ie...

Anyone have a recommendation of a third party battery for the X10/XF1? Seeing lots for £2-3 but a bit wary of them being so cheap. Also lots listed as 3.7v where the genuine ones are 3.6v I beleive. I know more mAh is better but surely more voltage isn't a good idea???

Just bought a refurb XF1 and noticing that although the manual says the LED on the charger should be on when charging, off when fully charged mine seems to be on all the time and goes from orange when battery first inserted (so presumably charging) to green which I must assume means charged. Is...

You needn't ask, there's only a few of them in completed listings.

True, but for anyone that might read this thread then find themselves looking at a lens with similarly description/photography on ebay and in that case my advice is walk away. If it doesn't expressly say it's good/clean/unscratched it's probably because it's not.

The description - "This lens has had good use, as is used daily for National Newspapers and for Premier League football matches on a weekly basis. Obviously has marks from wear throughout the years, but the lens works well, and still produces excellent images on a daily basis for us. We are...

I wouldn't have touched it from that ad, the wording and photography are far too vague. Paypal will probably take your side of things anyway though, or you could ask for a 50% refund.

Awesome thanks very much. I knew this kind of thing would exist but couldn't figure out what it'd be called!

Tim_uk, those loops are just what I'm looking for to put on my Hexar, can you tell me where you got them?

People that are getting banding in higher ISOs, are you using the EVF/rear screen? Do you stil;l get the banding if you use the OVF?
