Sorry, that should have been 18-55

What about the 56,even though your stopping down its still a great lens and you would have the option of 1.2 bokeh delicious

Cheers. Yeah, its a great lens but I couldn't justify the extra cost for the amount of use it would get. I don't do outdoor portraits so the bokehlicious bokeh would be wasted on me and the size and weight are also considerations. The small 50mm seems like a worthy alternative for half the price. I have used the 56mm a couple of times and it is very nice indeed I might borrow it again with Belfast fashion week coming up and take it from there...

Appreciate your input, thanks.

Cheers. It's a great spot, not too much of a climb and an amazing view!

Hi, could someone recommend a cheapish lens or method of getting into macro photography? I'd like to give it a try with my XT10.

Thanks

Grab yourself a reversing ring or extension tubes. Extension tubes are probably somewhat more usable, especially if you get the ones that link to your lens such that you retain autofocus.

This is the cheapest way, but your lens working distance decreases dramatically with extension rings, if you can live with that then extn rings are the way to go

Iam glad you noticed the umbrella my wife mentioned it as well took me a while longer

The working distance decreases dramatically with any form of macro photography surely?

 

[Mr Perceptive]

Depends on focal length of lens and required magnification

Another "Excellent" Fujigraph from you Sir, really liking the composition. nicely exposed with detail in the highlights & shadows, and a good mono presentation.

Are there no third party lenses? I've found the Mitakon but are there any other?

Thanks George, very kind of you. I've come back to this thread and it's reminded me just how great the Fuji system and its photographers are

Got the X-T10 out and about again... Oxford Canal this evening. It was really dark - 3 mins at f/8 and could probably have gone 4 or more.

Thank you George much appreciated,yes i should have called it optimism i think.

 

[Phiggys]

Thanks folks - I must confess it was a second attempt. I had been up there a couple of mornings earlier in a slightly different position and something was off about composition - had to revisit and get the tripod into a fairly awkward position to get this angle, but worth it I think.

Here's a very different image from the same city - taken looking directly up at the dome of St Stephen's Basilica. The decor was just gorgeous.
