At last! I've managed to pick up my camera and the XF50-140.

I love this lens, and Pires, our friendly Robin was more than happy to pose.

Sharper that a tack just back from the sharpeners. (I have a couple that look even sharper, but the orange lawn mower he was standing on spoil the shot).

I’ve just bought a 50-140. Expecting it tomorrow. Can’t wait

A chance capture of the well known sea plane which travels frequently from Glasgow to Loch Lomond among other places.

The X-T2 nailed focus, but then I was shooting at f1.4 and 1/32000 [emoji15]

That's a very nice Fujigraph Sir, nicely composed, with some good light, and for me just about the right amount of movement in the water.

I've just managed to acquire a 1970s Vivitar (Komine manufactured) 55mm f2.8 macro for just £30 - I had one of these way back on my Canon TLb in the good old film days and it was a superb all-rounder as well as a full 1:1 macro. Another £17.99 for a K&F Concept Nikon to Fuji adaptor and we're in business.

This is ever so easy to use in manual on the X-T2 - so for an outlay of just £48, I have a good quality 80mm (equiv) macro lens.

That’s a lovely piece of glass, I used to have one in M42 mount that I used on a Pentax.

There’s something good about the sheer mass of some some of the older lenses, feel nice in the hand!

Looks great. As I expect you know from your mention of Komine, but others may not, Vivitar lenses are not really a make, more just a marketing brand, and can't be relied upon as a marque without further research as to exactly what you are getting. This looks like a great choice though.

That’s just incredible.

Thanks All!

David - hmm yes, am awaiting tubes and step up rings so I can give the 60mm a proper outing but it's going to have to be sensational to usurp the 80mm! If only the damn thing wasn't so blooming huge - probably need an X-T2 now to balance it better

Out for a walk in the park this morning with the 80mm and X-T2

Mike, it was only a moment of 'tightness' that made you buy the X-T20 over the X-T2 in the first place now is your chance to rectify that

And of course you'll get the focus stacking of firmware 4.1

'focus stacking' !?! ..... *runs off to Google in state of great excitement* ...

Mike, I still have the 60mm, and it's not a patch on the 80. I know it's big and heavy, but quality comes at a price!!

Thank you both, very kind. It's probably a bit painterly for some people, but I don't mind referencing Victorian landscapers once in a while

I find that to be the case of the majority of the Fuji lenses too. All metal and weighty feel lovely in the hand

Sunrise from a couple of days ago. All these boring clear sky days we've been having have done nothing to get me out the house - I was very happy to see this, hasn't been any kind of sunrise or sunset for ages round here! The sky cleared up afterwards though and went back to boring and harsh.

A couple of quick images from my recently acquired Komine lens - these are hand-held images in a bit of breeze - I love the bokeh in the second one

The depth of field is quite shallow so I'll need to practice a bit more but overall, I'm very happy with the lens.

Just a simple candid street style Fujigraphgraph taken at London (Whitehall) UK of some of the guards during one of their Changing Of The Guard ceremonies.
I'm also working on a personal project called Faceless and this will be one of the shots included.

X-T20

Unedited, straight out of the camera Jpeg taken using one of the built-in Advanced filters...

Had a weekend away in Ludlow and seriously, this camera has rekindled my love for photography, it's fun to use, the camera produced jpeg files are more than usable and the whole weekend, I didn't need to carry a separate bag for my camera, it fitted into my jacket pocket! Could never achieve that with my Nikon D7200.
