Hello All.. Picking your brains again. I have a 1.4 teleconverter that I have a continually mounted on a 400 lens. When I decided to put it on another lens today, it looks like the button that I press to release it has come off/broken. There’s no sign of any exterior button lever. I wonder if...

Must admit, that had crossed my mind:)

So depends. Ideally new but I’ve always bought second hand, apart from my XT-5. I guess budget if £500 maybe £750 but would go to £1000 if I was really pushed - my first grandchild after all:)

Hello Everyone So, my daughter is having her first in September and loved photography growing up. I’ve thought about buying her and hubby a camera which they can easily use (so would mostly be auto settings at first) but something that is designed as a point and shoot bit also can take good...

Thank you! Fantastic!

Hello All. I’ve been trying my hand at some astrophotography tonight. I have an XT-5 with the 16mm 1.4 lens. All is good there and think I got done good photos. Will find out tomorrrow! What I can’t seem to do is to continuous shooting so the 20s exposures are automatic, one after another. I’m...

I have the Mac mini with the M2 chip and it is fine for everyday tasks plus editing.

Just to say thanks for all replies. Looking at the XT-20, Graham :)

Hello. Has anyone got any experience with shooting infra red on a Fuji. I like the concept and have seen some excellent work which prompts me to try it. I thought about buying something like an XT-2 and getting it converted but buying a lens may be a cheaper option until I know I like it. Is...

Thank you.

Hello everyone. More advice required, please....:) I've just been getting into using Lightroom. I shoot with an XT-5 mainly landscapes. I use LR Classic on my mac. The last few times I have imported the RAW files and I have been messing around with processing, if I use the sky pre-sets (dark...

Hi everyone. I have been asked by a friend if I would take some photographs of a local scene - it is a roman castle with a sea/harbour background - so he can get it uploaded onto a glass splashback in his kitchen. Just before I started, Ithought I'd ask if anyone has any experience of doing...

Thanks to everyone. Just ordered.

Hello. Any recommendations for an L bracket for an XT-5 please that gives access to cards and USB ports. Many thanks, as always:)
