The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Mr Perceptive said:
Yes, I've budgeted for that. I had actually looked at X-H2S's this morning before I went (not for the first time!!!), then late this afternoon I looked again, and Clifton Cameras had reduced their pre-loved one by 10% valid until the end of the month, resistance was futile :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I'll get a couple of cards ordered over the weekend (and a USB card reader)

At least I'm back to having a body for every lens that I own....... :)

I’ve got a brand new decent reader in the classifieds and have a barely used 512GB card I can list if interested.
 
Different to the normal kobini store photo, Sushi anyone?

A dying flower. Yellow, but I am pretty sure it isn't a daffodil. Beyond that I haven't a clue. Taken at 300mm, Fuji X-T2+100-400

Thanks for looking

Some sort of Lily is my best guess.
 
I’m thinking about getting back into Fuji world - quite a few new lenses since I last used a Fuji.

Was thinking XT-3 or perhaps XT-4 if secondhand or an XT-30 iii if new - would they all offer similar image quality ?

Thanks

All same IQ (same sensor)

I would suggest thinking about whats important to you:-

IBIS
EVF Size (X-T30 has smaller EVF)
Handling and size
Controls (X-T3 is different to X-T4)

Would be high on my list. The X-T3 although older has similar AF performance to the X-T4 through firmware upgrades

Personally I would be going for X-T3 or X-T4, the small EVF and the slightly smaller size that makes it difficult to handle for me rules out the X-Txx series.

I totally agree with Mr Perceptive. I've had an X-T20, X-T30, X-T1 and X-T4 (which I still have). The bigger form factor is definitely more comfortable to hold, and the IBIS is definitely useful too (although there are plenty of lenses with IS, so it's not a dealbreaker).

It’s the EVF that is the winner on the X-Tx series, but also they have WR

Thanks I think an XT3 would be fine but I fancied the 16-50 2.8 but note it doesn’t have OIS…

I forgot about the weather resistance. Yes, that's a definite plus. The EVF is better too, but the T20 & 30 were perfectly usable too.

A lot of people don't rate the 16-80 F/4, but I'm very happy with mine, and the OIS is brilliant on it.

I had one may moons ago and didn’t think it was great - and a bit weighty ?

Can anyone speak to the handling difference between the X-T4 and and X-T5? On paper it looks negligible but I’m wondering if the increased size and weight of the X-T4 feels noticeable in actual use

I tried an X-T5 when I did a Fuji photowalk last year. I have a grip on my T4 so it definitely felt smaller than that! When I took the grip off though it still felt smaller than my camera, but it fitted in my hand better, it feels like the grip is a couple of mm deeper. I’m not sure the weight would be noticeable once you factor in a lens though.

I’ve had both. They handle similarly. No mistaking the XT vibe. Missed having the flippyflappyscreenthingy on the T5 though.

Currently the XF16-50mm F2.8 is holding its price quite well, Unless you find a split kit, you will be paying a lot more than for an XF18-55mm or XF16-80mm.

Yes it doesn't have OIS so if you want some form of stabilisation then the X-T4 + XF16-50mm. However using dealer prices, this pre-loved combo is fast approaching the price of a new X-T50+16-50mm bundle, and with show deals immenient in the next couple of weeks with the Photography Show, then the gap will narrow.

My preference is always bang for buck, so I would be looking at a pre-loved X-T3 plus the original XF18-55mm to start with, buying carefully thats about £700-£750, leaving some budget for other lenses, etc.

Thanks that’s good advice, the 18-55 is a nice lens but I would need something wider - Viltrox 9mm possibly and hope that at 9mm I won’t need any image stabilisation..
