The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Seriously thinking about ditching my Nikon D500 for an x-e3.

Fed up with the size, weight and noise of the D500. I'm hardly using it.

Cracking little camera and with any of the small f2 lenses on it`s a joy to use the X-E3.

X-E3's are at a bargain price in the Fuji Refurb Store

I've only gone and done it. I've just gone with the 18-55 f2.8 for now.

There might be some immaculate, hardly used Nikon stuff in the classifieds very soon.

I can't see the "pop" but it's a great image nonetheless.

This 'pop' you speak of, in that car image you often post, is more like tilt shift effect I think. In that image at least. This can easily be added in post,

Yeah it is, that almost miniature/tilt shift look. I'd rather a lens do this naturally than trying to add it in post though, and depending on the scenario it might not always be possible to get it looking good/right in post (y)

Tilt shift lens maybe? For the times you really want emphasis - I think it can look great for certain subjects, like your car images. But for portraits it often looks as if it were post processed, the subject almost looking like they were added in later
 
I am seriously considering buying an Xpro 1 to go with my other Fuji cameras as I really like the look of the files I have seen in this thread, does anyone here own the Pro 1 and 2 and can confirm that the Pro 1 files are as lovely as they look in here, in particular the @macvisual images I have seen.

Too specialised, just want a prime with good subject isolation. Plus the car image isn't truly a tilt shift look obviously. If it was truly tilt shift then the roof of the car would be blurred.

The Mitakon 35mm f0.95 looks good though. Also been looking at the 90mm f2, that looks pretty special although not a focal length I'd use.

Not necessarily, I mean isn't that the shift part? You can shift the blurring just off of the subject.

Same here on the 90mm, a lens I really want to try out but I know it'd get limited use over time. Then again, I thought same about the 16mm before I owned it, and atm it's my only lens. It's got used for everything and anything, I found the 50F2 much harder to gel with. I think I'm just that type, the in-between FL never do it for me, it's either 16-35 range or 150+ I desire [unless it's a macro lens]

That's a positive "Result" in my book, "ENJOY".

Thanks George, I have a week off now and am hoping to get over to Whitby, if it arrives by then I'll take the XP1 to try out :)
 
I’m finding Fuji’s choice for the LCD on the X-Pro 3 a strange decision. I get the ‘idea’ behind it but as a street camera surely a lot of folk still like to use the LCD from time to time and don’t want to have to flip it down. Why not just have a true vari-angle so you can have it with the screen rotated so that you can’t view it for those that want to, and then have it the other way around who want to make use of the LCD at all times?

I get why Fuji did it, I think it’s divided a lot of people, however I am actually considering one :o

Never used the pro2, but I remember actually preferring the files from the pro1 over those from the X-T1, I just didn't get on with the ergos. I preferred the T body much more, but I thought the pro1 files had a warmer feel about them and I think that sensor was better for higher ISO shooting too.

Well I've gone and done it and got myself an X-T3. Moved away from Fuji for a couple of years but liked the X-T20 so much I thought I'd better go the whole hog and it seems a significant upgrade too.
Cant wait for its arrival but the X-T20 will have to go now by the look of it :(

Why does the T20 have to go? If you were able to buy the T3 before selling it? New lenses maybe?

I use to have the X-T20 but the T3 is a damn sight better in every way.
