I like this a lot. Scary s***

You could easily lose that bottom one in post though.

Good point, I never thought of that tbh: I kind of got stuck on “must get them all in the shot” - I was thinking from the point of plane nerd who would be all “Well I think you’ll find that the Red Arrows have nine planes actually”

Works for me. Maybe just a tad more space on the bottom?

Yes, I agree. Was just trying to save myself some cloning, but actually it's a very forgiving sky! This is the final version (I think)

Hello. Any recommendations for an L bracket for an XT-5 please that gives access to cards and USB ports.

Many thanks, as always

Haven't got one myself, but a few peeps have got the smallrig one.

I was going to suggest the 3 Legged Thing one, as I've always found their stuff to be good - I have a tripod, and I had an Ellie universal L-bracket on my old camera. The L-bracket for the X-T5 is £99 though!! I have a Smallrig grip on my X-T4, and it's very good - was a lot cheaper than £99 too! They do one with an integrated L-bracket and one without (I actually have both, because I'm an idiot).

EDIT: here's the Smallrig one: https://www.smallrig.com/uk/SmallRig-Cage-L-plate-for-FUJIFILM-X-T5-4137.html

I've got the Smallrig one for my Xt5, (and Xt2). I'm happy with them - nice, well-made products.

Bit of fun with @Garry Edwards lighting challenge. So far it was eggs, so I thought I do a selfie

Thanks to everyone. Just ordered.

Nothing particularly special, I just liked the look of this little house. I like places that look like they have a story to tell.

I’ve got the joy of an upcoming visit to Legoland in the near future so I’ve used it as an excuse to pick this up. Didn’t really want to be lugging the XH2 around

Just needs a thumb grip.
And a mist filter.
And a nice leather strap.

I've never resorted to grips on the X100 series, on the older models where EC had to be adjusted on the dial, they just get in the way.

Also I'm not sure that the Original/S/T versions need a mist filter, the F was a significant step up in sharpness

I'll agree about the strap.

 

[John 2]

You'll be sorry. Once I had bought mine, it made me lazy about lugging around a bag full of XT gear. Great cameras.

Tell me about it. I’ve already started looking

IMO - Best protection for your lens

Maybe I've got a good one then. I'm pretty sure I can adjust EC okay.

You have to move your thumb around the thumbgrip, with no grip, your thumb is already on the wheel

I always have mine on but reversed - Only really use them if it's raining. The rest of the time the camera lives in my bag and only comes out to shoot.

So doesn’t it suffer much from flare etc,is that because it’s a short FL?

I'll have to check when I get home now

You are probably right though. I don't always notice things like that.

Just checked mine as I knew it wasn't a problem...probably because I have EC on the front dial!

I did that at first. But I found it to easy to change without realising.

 

[Topsy]

Not me, the big one is in the position for in the bag but is put on properly for shooting, the other 2 go in the bag as-is.
