First time I`ve used WEX for a while, and all I can say is ... Unreal service :eek: Ordered my bag at 6.15 Saturday evening, and it`s out for delivery today. You can`t fault that :D

+1 for Wex. Ordered a Biilingham 35 Rucksack and a 335 bag last week and they were delivered next day. Both were 'used' but were as new c/w tags and storage bag. Currently my favourite on-line dealers, their customer service is a model of courtesy and professionalism.

Andrea, that's an excellent capture, right up my street. The shallow DOF makes it really pop.
Lovely work/talent/creative abilities...

Thank you, George.
 
:banana: My new little bag has arrived, and ............ It`s nice. Almost made for Fuji ;)
 
Just thought i'd give an update on my new Fuji X-T4.

Well i've had it for about a week now and have to say i'm really impressed with it. It's a huge upgrade from my X-T2. The AF is way better and the continuous focussing capabilities are truly impressive. I shot a burst of 35 images of my wife waling towards me in dificult lighting conditions and only 3 were ever so slightly out of focus, the rest were pin sharp. Also tracking in video has been impressive too in my limited testing. Managed a video of my daughter riding towards me on her bike and it never missed focus and tracked her all the way.

Obviously I need to do more testing but early signs are very good. Had a play with the slow mo footage too and it looks gorgeous :)

Not sure about the HDR function on the camera. Still undecided whether it's best to use this or stick to normal HDR bracketing :)
 
Must admit, I very nearly pulled the trigger on the XT4 yesterday. The IBIS is the big seller for me but the improved focus tracking, (more doggie pics!), is appealing. It’s not a case of ‘if’, more ‘when.’ :)
 
I'm going to give the XT-4 a miss and see what the next upgrade is, I have IBIS on the H1, and I find that great for some shots, but on the whole a faster lens for moving subjects is more useful for me, so I'd be more interested in the AF improvements over the T3 that the IBIS.

What lenses were you using as I read the XC range focussed a bit slower.
 
Well I ended up with a brand new XH-1 as part of a trade for an XT-3, the guy bought it and found it too heavy and was booked on a flight back to his home country so didn't have time to return it to Jessops. I was going to move it on straight away but not so sure now, took it out on a walk at the weekend and it's just a lovely thing to own for hardly any money.

Regards the awesome Fuji XF200 f/2 lens which is a shade over 5k to purchase, are there any other fixed quality lenses that would do a similar job for a lot less me wonders?

I know there's the fabulous XF90, I have the Samyang 135mm f/2, but wondering about any other quality glass close to 200mm fixed length out there availability wise?

Seems Fuji don't have an in-between fixed lens length with their 90 and 200 lenses. Something like a 150mm f/2.8 would be cool.

Any advice/suggestions appreciated.


Cheers;
Peter
