The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I rang Jessops this morning, I was told they have some coming in tomorrow and as I pre-ordered beginning of August I should be one of the first to get it, so I'm calling tomorrow to see if this is the case. Going by my recent experience of Jessops I don't have a high level of expectation though.

I phoned but couldn't get through. I did order early too.

I went with the interests free credit option, got approved and the finance company said they would forward the approval to Jessops. I don't recall receiving an order number from Jessops so am now worrying there has been a balls up somewhere along the line.

Mines at my local dealer, but can't get to it until Friday AM.....

I had a call from my dealer to say it's been dispatched to him today for next day delivery. As soon as the courier arrives with it tomorrow he'll let me know.
Knowing my luck it won't arrive until 5pm.

Worryingly Jessops just advised they currently don't have a date for it coming into stock

That's strange! I've not ordered from them, but I was talking to a staff member yesterday and he told me that their distribution centre was taking delivery today.
 
I ordered from Jessops, not sure why I did (?!!), but they just sent me a dispatch email [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

I was 200+ on WEX's waiting list but received an 'in stock' notification @ 08:47 this morning and a dispatch notification @ 13:23.

Very excited! My first Fuji.

I'm obviously way down the list as I've heard nothing.

I tried ringing their customer service number, it rang for 10 minutes and no one answered. I got the info by ringing the store. Only reason I went with Jessops was to take advantage of the £100 trade in allowance, they gave me £49 for an old beat up Canon EOS M, Wex offered me £23.

Alan, make a trip to Chester, Camera Solutions (I believe) have a few unallocated X-T2's - mention David (who pre-ordered one), and I'll get some brownie points!!!

This makes me sad, ordered mine what seems like an age ago and radio silence so far. I have it for in store pick up so I guess they could call me in the morning. Staying positive.

Lol. Is this replacing you xpro 2?

My X-Pro2 might be up for grabs when and if the T2 turns up. Don't know if there would be much interest in it?

Seriously ? Considering you can buy a refurb XP2 £1068 you'd be dropping £300 !!!!

Yes, I'm concerned it might not get the use it deserves after the T2 lands. But on the other hand I might just keep it for primes and mf lenses.
 
I'm loving my XP2 but I'll see how it goes with the X-T2 and I'll maybe considering selling/swapping the XP2 for a 100-400m, I think the combination of the 100-400mm and the X-T2 will be fantastic for the rugby season.

Not immediately, as much as I'd probably be willing to take a hit on what I paid to perhaps put the cash on lenses I'm currently down to only two lenses the 16 and 23, swithering what to do next, I might pickup another prime again and use two bodies when I'm out landscaping.
I'm contemplating a 100-400 though as I realised how useful that sort of "super" focal length when I tried the 150-600 Tamron on full frame Nikon!
 
I thought we'd answered this last week but apparently we didn't - 85mm square filters- do they vigentte on 10-24 or not?
 
So today's the day! I hope all you expecting to pick up your T2's today are not disappointed. :)
 
Happy new camera day to all those who are expecting theirs today.

Not getting one myself, but interested to see all the undoubtedly great photos from the new owners

Does anyone know if it's possible to set the spot metering to meter off the active focus point as opposed to the centre of the frame?
Click to expand...
Yes, I'm sure there is a setting for that, but I don't have the camera or manual to hand just now.
 
Well I'm surprised I've not seen something on YouTube posted today for the XT2, it must be postie time somewhere

I bet you're all package stalking!

Alan, the theory is yes, but the practise may be different especially with stacking filters. I have a Hitech 85mm holder with grads, but no 10-24. @mickledore has a 10-24 and I'm sure we could test in the next couple of weeks, or alternatively if you have a 10-24, I would be happy to meet so you can try, geographically we are not too far apart.

Im very interested in a definitive answer to this. The internet is all over the show on this one.

I was just thinking that myself. Always happy for a meet.....and that pint you owe me.
 
Well if it's with an actual release model it's the first, sadly for me (on my tablet) it says there a problem playing it

I m sure fuji sorted this issue with one of their s firmware updates, just turn your metering to spot meter and your focusing to single point focus. Your camera should now meter off the active focus point
