That's been done to death though, and I'm restricted by not driving. But alas I really just did lose my mojo for photos. I'm not hugely into landscapes but I'm going to give it a go.

I will warn you, landscapes can be quite frustrating as you have no control over the light or weather. That being said they're also very rewarding (or would be if I could do it well ;)).

You live in a interesting city some lovely old building to take images of. The church in mono on a dull day be good

Done the Crooked Spire, but walking round Chesterfield with a big DSLR I stuck out like a sore thumb and felt like a right muppet, although I think a lot of that's in my head and down to my self consciousness. I've been wanting to get out and take pics of the old courthouse since getting the XT1, but weather's been crap.

I have a couple of books by Peter Watson, besides each picture are details of the equipment used, etc and one very poignant line - Waiting for the light - ranges from immediate through several hours to days/weeks!!!

Well if you got a decent camera and sold that Nikon rubbish you'd be fine. My compact system x-t2 is tiny.

Lol, yeah it's like the really really good wildlife pics you see, they can be months getting them. If I've not taken a shot in 5 mins I get fed up :lol:

Not until I lose my self consciousness. Not happened in 39 years but I'm still hoping ;)

Makes me wish I lived near and interesting City. Can't have everything I guess as I do live in the Peak District, but it would be nice ;)

I know the feeling, all we've got when I'm back home (well not too far away) are "The Blue Ridge Mountains" (that I've never visited) and "The Old Smokies" (which I've only visited twice):whistle::)

Do you use a shutter release for that?

As above, you can use the timer if you like, or you can get a shutter release. I prefer a shutter release but I haven't bought one for the Fooj yet. I'm thinking about getting a gorillapod for it too for hols, but not sure if the one for CSC would take the weight of the XT1 with 18-135mm, I need to investigate.

I don't take the DSLR on hol, I have a proper tripod for everything else :p
 
Fuji must be busy as seen that xt1 and xt2 are short all over
 
Xt1 were easy to get get before. Fuji use to be good at supply. Since xt2 come out think that took there time to make those rather than xt1?

Probably. Can see that X-T1 will soon cease production.

I'm sure they'll have reduced the manufacture of XT1's knowing that they were making a new model. With new models they never make enough to make the demand higher.

Many thanks Peter, much appreciate your comments.(y)

George.
 
Amazon have XT-1 in stock, it's the first place I check tbh. They have it body only, with the 18-55, and a kit with the 18-135. They're all over the place used too. I paid £480 for a mint one with 5 batts and 2 chargers.
 
Hope they don't dry up to quick , I'm after a Preloved TX-1 !

i know Fuji is Japanese that was the joke

The XC 50-230 is made in China, the XF 100-300 and 2x teleconverter are made in Japan, the X30 is made in China. Fuji may well be a Japanese company but they have factories all over the far East.
