Fuji X-T30/XF55-200mm
 
Track day at Snetterton yesterday (with the CC). Strangely enough the 100-400 was a but long, so most of the time it was reeled in.

T5 100-400 (more on flickr as I don`t want to spam up the thread) ;)

60th coming up, do I go for -

Fuji 35/1.4 + Viltrox 15/1.7. About £500
Or
Viltrox 15/1.7 & Viltrox 35/1.7. Probably £325ish.

Is it the law that the x-pro1 must have a Fuji 35 to go with it ???

Decisions, decisions

I really like the Viltrox 35/1.7... but you only have one 60th, and there's just something magical about the Fuji 35/1.4. If you can afford it, definitely get it.

LCE just phoned to say they have X-E5 in stock (with lens) if I'm interested. I'm not, but they are available.

Great capture George. Very difficult to capture isolated subjects this time of year, especially on a beach.

Many thanks Nick, much appreciated. (y)
 
Hi folks,

I recently visited Camden Town whilst on a visit to London with the family. I thought I'd try my hand at some street photography with the X100V. I am extremely new to this genre, only really started to dabble with it since getting the Fuji last year. I popped the aperture in f8, kept the rest in auto with a minimum shutter of 1/250 (I think?)

Any comments/critique is welcome.

Fabulous capture….!!!

I`m seriously thinking of chopping my 100-400 in for a 50-140, as I don`t tend to use it that much now days. Has anyone else done a similar thing?

Always like an 'umbrella shot' :)

Nice shot, really like that :)
 
So GAS has gotten the better of me and in the last month I've ended up buying both an X100VI and now an X-E5. It was never my intention to keep both, and I even thought I might sell the X100VI and my X-T5 and just keep the X-E5. However...

There's lots of claims online that "the X-E5 is an X100VI with interchangeable lenses".
It's not. It's the worst of both the X-T5 and X100VI worlds.
  • It's weighty but feels plastic.
  • With the 23mm lens attached it's too big to fit in a jeans/shorts pocket whereas the X100VI fits.
  • The X100VI dials are better, especially the combined shutter and ISO dial.
  • I'm not sure of the point of the film sim dial on the X-E5 given custom recipes via the quick menu are a better option.
  • The shutter noise is horrible. It's like a Wish.com version of the XT-5 one and awful compared to the X100VI.
  • The lens is softer than the X100VI even with all settings identical.
The only things I like about it are interchangeable lenses (good if you don't have a camera with them already) and the colour of the screen is actually better than the X100VI. It's crisper and whiter.

Im going to try and return the X-E5 and get a refund, but I reckon I'll be out of luck.
I'm sticking with the X-T5 and the X100VI.

Basically what I said a few weeks ago then. The X100VI is a masterpiece with tech that justifies the cost. I’ve had and sold the F & V variants but the addition of Ibis and the new sensor are game changers.

Jeez dude you’ve ruined my weekend. I’ve an X-E5 coming next week. I wanted a small lightweight travel camera with the 40mpx sensor and ibis. Is it really that bad ? I’ve sold all my Fuji cameras, X-pro 3 X-T3 X-S20. Just keeping my all time favourite X-Pro 2. I’ll give it a go when it arrives before I make my mind up. I bought direct from Fuji, I wonder what their return policy is ?

I have.
Mainly for a wedding, the 50-140 is so good for the evening/candid shots, but it's sat unused ever since. I've got the 75-300(with 1.4 tc) which must be my most used lens now. I'm tempted to sell my 50-140, and may, just may, be interested in your 100-400, but don't get excited - if you post a for sale thread and remember please let me know!

Maybe it's just because I have the others, and I've never used an X-Pro 2, so can't comment on your specific position. I do hope you love it though. New camera day is special.

Well maybe (hypothetically speaking) a trade/ swap + might be made ;)

Well spotted and captured!
 
Severe Fuji itch coming on,thinking XT50 with 16-50 from Fuji refurb or XT 3 +? Or get rid of A7C and go for XT5 and ?
All started with a desire for X100 vi and it's escalated.Upcoming trip to Fjords coming up has got me thinking I just want decent SOOC pics.

XT-3 is still a great camera and feels like a solid bit of kit, unlike some of the more recent models. :)

Obviously I’m biased, but the X-T4 is a great halfway house between the 3 and… well, the 5.
