I do envy your kids! They are going to have a wonderful catalogue of shots to look back on.

Ha, they might not appreciate ALL of them

These have come out beautifully Colin. The output is similar to that of the Pentacon 135/2.8 preset on my old full frame gear Except the I'd need to sharpen the Pentacon images a fair bit to get them like this!

I'm tempted my the 90mm at the mo, especially given that they are back in the refurb store...eek!

What is a fair price for a XT-1 these days?

Under 400 if you don't mind a few scratches

Splish, splash, splosh

Happy galloper

"Cracking" set of shot's Sir, nuff said.

Broke my new 1DX MKII which was a replacement for my last one that turned into a brick on Saturday at my first round of British Superbikes this year so the X-T2 saved my bacon.

It really is quite good for motorsport but my fingers still have muscle memory for the Canon buttons!!!

"Excellent" work Sir, by any standard.

George.

Found this we snail on the (slow) move this morning in the rear garden, I attached the XF10-24mm for the wide/close effect;

Thank you very much George, understand you moved over to Fuji completely but im still running half and half although i feel the Fuji will now be getting some more time trackside for me to adapt a lot more.

Many thanks and best wishes.

Managed to get an almost like new condition one for £370 but minus the box and the flash. It has charger, battery, strap, manuals. Werdily came with Ver. 1.01 firmware!

Great Value camera.

How does it compare to the pro1 for you? The xt1 feels just right for me.

 

[ChrisH]

The flash isn't much to get worked up over, great bargain

I had a 30D for like 3 years, I never used the flash once in that.

 

[macvisual]

Hey Ray, nice combo that T1 + 56mm !

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

No Longer Available.

George.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Hey Ray, nice combo that T1 + 56mm !

Thanks!

I literally went from no Fuji kit to 2 bodies, 23/35/56mm in the space of like 6 weeks.

 

[Raymond Lin]

What the photo can't tell you is how much more the Canon weigh.

I went into Wilkinsons in Carlisle (which was a mistake as they sold me a 50mm f2!) and they had a used Sony A7 for sale. I was horrified at the size!

 

[Gadget-Guy]

Not so much action in these but just love the way the Fuji colours pop from different profiles and especially Velvia and classic chrome.

Great clean, sharp, shots.

Glen, these captures are as always........EXCELLENT! Those Fooji colours are simply sublime to be honest...!

STUNNING

Surely there's not much in it between an x-t2 and an a7

 

[Riz_Guru]

I don't think there is much size difference between the Fuji XT-2 and Sony A7RII (with grips).

 

[GreenNinja67]

Superb stuff Glen.

But why can't I get my Fooj photos to look as good as these?

Is it my processing or should I set my camera up a little differently.

Don't get me wrong I'm loving the XT2 experience but I'm struggling on the processing. I'm using the same workflow as I used on the D750 but there's something I'm missing or not getting the hang of.

I expect it'll all fall into place in the end.

 

[minnnt]

You mean when you realise your mistake and come back to Nikon?

 

[GreenNinja67]

One day you'll learn it's the photographer and not the camera [emoji2]

 

[Krow]

The partner says she wants to get into a photography , is the XPRO1 still a good option? or should we get XE2?

GAS ON FULL THROTTLE AGAIN.

I'd go with an X-E2 or an X-T10 for her tbh. Should be plenty VFM out there though they're not that far off an X-T1 they're pretty much just as capable.

I actually think the A7 might even be slightly smaller.....

There were some XE2's on Fuji refurb site last night for £237.50 with the PAYPAL12 code.

I nearly hit the button but didn't because Minnt wants me to get a Nikon. (I think he's lonely)

Maybe he isn't processing them and letting the experts at Fuji do it. That's what i do 99% of the time.
