The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Was hoping to get out into the woods today, but no such luck, so another dog photo!
I did manage to play with my f mount adapter though, this was taken with the Nikon 35mm f/1.8. Manually focused obviously wide open

X-E1, ISO 1600, 1/20.

Whilst I love the pooch, the really bright highlight draws my eye away. I have to say though, you've done a great job of getting a decent image shooting into all that light.

That is precisely how we thought of them too, part of the family. One was almost 10, this one would have been 7 in April. Both will be side by side end of the garden though :)

To lose both in such a short time is very sad, however they will be together in the garden and I think this quote is appropriate.

"In life they were loved and admired, and in death they were not parted."

Yeah it's tough, I was out in the garden earlier looking for something interesting to photograph [didn't find much] and there was some rustling in the bushes - expected the cat to come running out as she always followed me into the garden to have a nose what I was doing. But it was a Blackbird mooching about. Got me thinking, the birds won't be as shy coming in over the winter now with the cats gone.

If you get a Nikon G adapter you can stop your lenses down, they have an aperture adjustment ring on them. I had a K&F concept one a couple years back that I used for a Sigma 150mm macro lens I had left over from my Nikon gear.

Yes mine has the aperture adjustment, but it needed to be wide open to get a decent shutter speed. It’s not K&F but looks identical.

We sadly said goodbye to our second cat this year today. Scout developed a growth just a couple of weeks back, she had surgery to remove it but unfortunately the cancer had spread, rapidly. We had her put to sleep this evening, very sad for the kids [and us] - she was 6 1/2 years young. Will miss her posing for me. One of my most popular images on Flickr is of her from this summer - X-H1 with a Canon 50mm 1.8 adapted:

Sorry to hear about scout, such a bad time for families.

What lens will you use? You may struggle to balance the camera and lens on something that cheap. I was looking at the Zhiyun Crane M2 and even that will just about get an X-T3 with a light prime and is more suited to the X-T30. The FeiyuTech G6 Plus might balance something upto 800g but again lens dependent.

I have a 23 f2, 16 f2.8 and 18-55 that I was going to use.
 
Here's a couple from a 'flat' Dartmoor today. A real shame the light just didn't want to play ball as much as i'd have liked.

Put a black piece of cloth over the chair then put the mask on it, X-H1 + XF16mm f1.4 and a straight Sooc with natural light coming through the lounge window.

really nice Dave, I just love it when you get a shot SOOC as good as that.

Very nice Dave, every time I see your still life I think I must have a go myself.

Thank you Graham, I`m really enjoying this still life at the moment as it`s keeping me sane for staying in so much this last week or so but I hope to get out on Wednesday. Can`t wait till my little tabletop arrives in the next day or so, as I will be trying the XF50mm f2 and Raynox150 on the T3.
 
Was driving home and the light in the woods just off the road was incredible. I managed to pull in and leap out and find a good spot, just as the light was going... Took the shot and then noticed the iso was set to 1600! The light had gone and no second chance.. b****r. Salvaged what I could in LR.

I`d be happy with that, beautiful colours and a lovely image.
 
Well I have been having a good think today, now I have the 56mm f1.2 back I`m going to get rid of the XF90mm f2. Yes it`s a great lens and have loved using it for the music hall shots in the summer but as I don`t go there anymore plus having the 56mm back I now have to think of a price and put it in the classified.

Lovely colours. Very nice capture
 
Looking for advice from any street photographers here that have used the 23, 35 and 50 f/2's...

I've currently got the 23 and love it, but I find myself cropping a little bit in post. I'm thinking of getting either the 35 or 50 to go with it, but I can't decide which. I also have the 80 mm macro, so having the 50 would give me 23, 50 and 80 in primes which seems like a nice spread. On the other hand, I don't usually have to crop a huge amount and I love the 50mm FF equivalent length, so maybe the 35 would suit me more. But then I'd have the 23 and 35 which seem very close.

I can't pick. What I should really do is spend a day with my 18-55 and see what lengths I use the most, then buy that one. Or actually just use the 18-55 I suppose. Argggggggg too many decisions.

Either the 35mm f2 or 50mm f2 are great

Had a nice day out in Wales yesterday. Driving past Llyn Dinas, the nicely lit trees across the lake caught my eye. Luckily there was a stopping place near by. :)
