I have an R Strap, in fact I have the "double" set up, so I can carry 2 bodies. Had them for years and would never contemplate a regular strap again.

Those double straps always remind me of bondage gear lol

You may laugh, but I got the second when we spent a weekend at Whipsnade zoo. 100-400 on one shoulder, 50-140 on the other worked really well. Just had some batteries in my pockets and no bags... I've done similar at a wedding too.
 
Went out with the XT-3 yesterday to document London closing down as it goes into isolation, was eery at times, business decimated..........anyway there's a small collection on this link if anyone wants to take a look.

Some great images there, what a strange time this is. Your pictures remind me of when Princess Diana died. An eery silence to a massive city.
My wife is a nurse who works in central London - we live in Cornwall, and there was and still is a lot of concern about her going up to do a week stint yesterday with no idea if she'll be able to get home after....

Damn, that is super creepy. Great set, Pete (y)
Great set Pete, like something out of a zombie film.
Superb shots. No one would believe it if they hadn't seen this.
Thanks for the comments guys, would have regretted it if I didn't take this opportunity, it's now part of our history.

Huge respect for your wife Steve and all who work in the NHS.
 
I know there's been a few mentions of the 35 f1.4 on here recently.

Just re-acquired it, here's an old one from it.
X-H1

Yes that's a stray hair growing from the Nags Head

That`s a great view shot Trevor, keep looking at that lens but now started to look at getting the 16mm f1,4 again :thinking:
 
Great shot Keith, that lens is well sharp looking at Emily`s eyelashes.

Cheers Dave, it certainly is a very sharp lens. A little tough to snap into focus for longer range, as the focus throw is very tight once you step beyond 1:4 - just takes a little practice. I shot a couple landscape type images yesterday and none of them were in perfect focus because I kind of rushed them, they looked fine on cam but on a large monitor they were just off enough to make them unusable. I'll get to know it a little better though over time
 
TP FujiX Challenge - Week 1 - Glass


TP#1 - Stamps through Glass
by David Yeoman, on Flickr

And for anyone who wants to know, the Zeiss Lens is on a sheet of glass approx 80mm above the stamps, image taken with an X-H1, XF90mm and MCEX11mm - single exposure at F8, focused on the stamp through the lens.
