The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

[Fuji Dave]

Like I said about this first image, when I saw it Schindler`s List jumped straight to mind so a re edit on that plus another graffiti shot with the X-E3 + XF18mm f2.

I'm shooting on a budget these days with a very cheap Cimko 28mm 2.8 lens (M42) and adapter on my X-Pro1

 

[Fuji Dave]

X-E3 + XF18mm f2 on my small tripod then clipped the Raynox 150 on set the timer to 2 sec plus a straight Sooc. Just natural light used.

Here's another from this past weekend. The light was just so warm during the sunrise (shame the clouds were mostly low/mid level rather than high level) ...

X-Pro 1; XC16-50mm lens; 58' ; f11; ISO 200

Idea stolen from @JasonPC (thanks) Two fridays ago when in Snowdonia, I noticed wind had dropped, path was treacherous though, sheet ice everywhere, even in the middle of the day. It is rarely still here, normally this end of the Ogwen valley is blowing a gale.

Nice one David. Trying to get a similar shot from that end of the lake has left me with soaked feet quite a few times. I did get a nice pic last winter from there when the lake was frozen, it was with a Ni*** though, so I won’t share it in this thread.

Can the guys that currently have an Xpro2 tell me why you have it? I’ve wanted one for ages and the reduction in price today to £799 @ WEX, Jessops and Amazon has me wanting to finally scratch an itch. But I’m about to pull the trigger on an a7riii....

Don't!
At least not before you checked out all Fuji options properly...

I have no experience with the X-Pro series but Fuji is going places where others are staying FAR behind.

It's a beautiful camera. The small evf is a bit of an issue for me, but other than that it's a joy to use.

I love everything about my Xpro2, and most of all it`s a Fuji with greatness.

After struggling through the mud up Broadway Hill what could be better than to sit, rest and absorb the fabulous view.

Really like that George, the angle and the clouds really make it.

Be careful if you were thinking of trying to claim the £360 Fuji cash-back, Fuji has now removed the X-Pro2 body only from its list.

Someone was very happy their food turned up. (Excuse the bow, my wife put it on her!)

Testing the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 with the converter on my xe2.

Fungi on a log by Lewis Craik, on Flickr
At the weekend I went to Dovedale with some friends, had a great time, but this was the only photo I took that I liked.

 

[antonroland]

More of a scouting shot than anything serious...the wind was howling. I will definitely be back to shoot this place again.

Absolutely as is off-camera with 35/2. I was quite happy to see the beautiful stars on all the lights in the scene...I have yet to download these images to my editing ‘puter and the shared image was simply shared via phone transfer...

What sort of camera strap do you guys use on your Fuji cameras?

My X-T20 has the supplied neck strap attached to it but I'm finding I don't use this and it just gets in the way, however I still want some kind of strap, ideally a wrist strap, any suggestions?

Slide lite. I love it https://www.peakdesign.com/products/slide-lite

 

[Mr Perceptive]

^+1 and add a 'Cuff' if you want a wrist strap

 

[Craikeybaby]

I’ve got the Peak Design Slide, I should have got the Slide Lite for my X-T2.

 

[NickTB]

Slide lite all day long. Really versatile

 

[rick448]

Slide for me too, as well as a paracord type strap on the XP2.

This one.

PD all the way, that great that I have one black and one silver plus the wrist strap.

I currently find myself in a bit of a love/hate relationship with neck straps.

When I have one on my camera I get irritated by it and when I DON’T have one on I wish I had...

To be honest I have not even bothered to try the supplied strap yet although it does look a bit flimsy to be honest.

I still have two TPF branded neoprene neck straps that are jolly comfortable but they live on my 2 remaining D-SLR bodies.

But that's the beauty of PD. You can just unclip the strap when you don't need it.

 

[MatBin]

I just carry mine by the body/lens, tbh I bought a Fuji for less weight and more comfort so having it slung round my neck seems a backwards step (to me).

 

[FlyPhot]

I use a wrist strap, that I made myself - cost me about 50p and works a treat. just a length of 10mm wide webbing with a loop sewn in one end and a clip on the other, pass the clip through the loop and you have a 'noose' type tightening on your wrist.

 

[viewfromthenorth]

I hate neck straps so, I use an Op-tech wrist strap on my X-T2. I like the Peak Design Slide, but I only use them on heavier DSLR's to take the weight off my neck and shoulders, must admit that I'd never thought of getting one for the Fuji as it's not as much of a burden to carry as my D4.

Likewise, I 'knitted' a paracord wrist strap which works very well and cost peanuts
