The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I'm a bit late to the other conversation, but would echo what others have said about the virtues of turning your camera when not actively shooting. You won't need to carry as many batteries, and you won't change as many settings by accident either (diopter adjustment on the EVF is my favourite, always causes me to wonder what's happened!). I've yet to miss a shot from doing this. My fingers now reflexively turn the camera off when I lower it and on as I raise it, and it comes on so quickly that no time is lost at all that I notice.

I think the reason I took over 1,600 photos at the airshow was because each time I took the shot, like you lowering the camera I switched off, and then on again by the time it was to my eye.
 
I was reading about these extension tubes for fuji and since I've got a macro assessment in a few weeks I wondered which one could I buy that will give me 1-1 ratio using either a 56mm or a 35 f2.

You won't get to 1:1 with the 56 Scott with the 11mm it gets to 0.29 and with the 16 it gets to 0.39. If a macro lens is something you might get more use from in the future you may be better looking at the Oshiro 2:1 macro on an adapter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B010R8M...UTF8&colid=3DQEHLU5BENRE&coliid=I7E7D9F70CIB3
And if it's not something you would make more use of I'm sure it could be sold on with ease

Hi Colin,

I will have a look at this mate. I take it there's other fuji lenses that i could get down to 1-1 with the adapters. I noticed that someone mentioned a few pages back getting down to 4-1 magnification.

Regards

Scott

I like the windmill shot Dave, really nice. Not so sure about the B&W church shot though, just a bit too busy for me and the clouds look metallic. I guess it's a matter of taste though, not a criticism of your work.

Thanks mate, the more I look at the church one, the more I think OH GOD NO :)

If you don't experiment with different filters, you'll never know what they're going to turn out like, it's just not a style I personally like but I'm sure it will appeal to some.
The other shots inc the macros are great though.
My Oshiro 60mm f2.8 lens arrived today but the adaptor didn't so I'll have to wait now to try it out. Amazon let me down with a Prime delivery :(

That's impressive, more so given the lens. I presume it was manual focus, achieved by rocking back and fro perhaps?

Thank you kindly Sir, I much appreciate you taking the time to reply & comment.(y)

"I'm a guessin' I just got a bit lucky with this snap, it was indeed manual focus and rocking as you say. That's the way I I take virtually all of my Macro/Close Up snaps"

I agree that you have to try, but this time I think oh god never :)

Good to see that your thinkin' outside the box Sir, the first shot (Windmill) I like very much, but I'm sorry the second shot's PP work just doesn't push the right buttons for me.(y)

Thank you George, I do agree that we have to try things out, some work and some don`t. It was good to try but this time I think no that does not work, but it is a nice way to learn :)

Great colours and a very nice set, but that is not a dog, it`s a house :) Big dogs those are.

Thanks :) I've not seen an Irish Wolfhound in years, they're not very common at all. He was old and very tame, I was going to run ahead and try get one of him coming toward me, but I was supposed to be working :D

I remember the first time we took Susie to dog training and the biggest Irish Wolfhound I have ever seen just stood looking at us while Susie was barking at it :)

Evening all,

I've been a long time lurker on these forums and mainly post on Instagram. Anyway, i recently moved over to the Fuji system (X-T1) and i can't get over much i enjoy shooting again!

mainly using 23mm 2.0 and super impressed with the results, although, it has taken me a while to get used to the custom settings and how to apply them.

In the pic above you can see a wee little nipper being held back by the lady's foot, on the bench :D what is it with small dogs and wanting to fight everything? :D

Cheers Dave, I've been out with quite a bit over the past couple of months, mostly in the Peak District. Bloody love it up there!

I don`t think others will mind me saying this, but if you need help/advice on the X-T1 then ask as many here have and love the camera :)

I like Inhale very much but find the bottom left a bit distracting. I seem to recall you don't crop much, but I can imagine this looking good as 5x4 or square.

Love that sky in vibrance corner. Love it when that happens, mainly in spring/autumn when you get a big dark sky but bright shallow direct sunlight cutting underneath it.

Yeah those dark clouds hung around a while, and they did let rip for a few minutes! But then it cleared and the sun came up, a surreal kind of atmosphere. I didn't boost anything here bar the colours on the wall too, which I knew I'd do when taking the shot. The sky was that dark at least over that direction
 
Guys can someone let me know how I can use this xt2 with studio lights? I'm in college and when the lights are connected I'm not seeing the picture through the evf and I've not brought my manual. I'm wondering how I let the camera know it's about to flash in the image. I hope this makes sense. I have all afternoon so I'll try and download a copy via the fuji website.
