The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

The 80mm is a really sharp lens, but I'm equally impressed with the 16-80mm I can't see huge difference between the two lenses.
 
It’s difficult times for all, the dogs looking depressed as they are only getting walked once a day.

Well, you're on the slippery slope now - I have great fun with adapted lenses - the Helios is a great way to start.

Ok peeps.
Here we go again. Themes for next week ........... :)

Week #3 ... Texture/ Light and Dark
 
Quick question on the back of macro tubes etc.
I fancy getting some tubes to mess about with.

The one thing I can seem to work out though is if I get something like a 10 & 16mm tubeset and combine them together, what will my new closest focusing distance be?

Can anyone help with the math.

Excellent news mate. I bet your relieved
 
Can anyone tell me, or point to reviews, on how the lens on the X100V compares with the 23mm 1.4.

On the X100V the new lens is sharp wide open as I have that camera and it`s better than the F, on the 23mm f1.4 it is a great lens to use but at the moment it`s at my Mums.

I have an Original X100, X100F and the 23mmF1.4, my wife has the 23mm F2, I have also used an X100V in a touch and try day.

I would put them in the following order:-

1st. 23mmF1.4
Equal 2nd X100V and 23mm F2
4th X100F
5th Original X100

some things in the V are better than the 23mm F2, like the edge sharpness wide open, but the AF speed is quicker on the F2.

The X-trans3 sensor in the X100F is inherently sharper than the original bayer X100

The F1.4 is in a different league at F2 it is razor sharp and of course goes to F1.4!! But it’s not WR if that is important

Does anyone use the 14mm f2.8, just looking for opinions was thinking about this or the 10-24mm f4 have seen good reviews of both, I use an XE3 and size and weight is obviously a factor

I think you need to consider what you want, assuming that you already have the 18-55, then are you looking for a two lens setup to take out or just a single lens solution. In the former case teh 14mm is a good match, as its quite compact and shares the same hood and filter ring size as the 18-55, it is a great lens (owned one in the past). But if you want a one lens solution to take out then the 10-24 obviously offers more flexibility. The 14mm will balance better on an X-E3 though.

Personally I find 10-12mm too wide for my style, and as I've got older I tend to shoot at longer focal lengths, and these days I'm happy with the 16mm F1.4 as my wide angle option (though I do have the Samyang 12mm for emergency wide angle use, but to be honest more often than not, this lens stays at home)

Thanks for the reply, after looking at yours and @Paulie-W pictures I think I might be leaning towards the 14mm it seems to be wide enough for what I would need and as you say the 14mm will balance better on the XE3

Thanks you have both been a great help :)

Already got the bug, been looking at loads of lens but don’t really know what’s good and what’s not. Any tips?

Depends on the lens used really, the shorter the FL the closer you will have to get, there's a table for the fuji set somewhere, will see can I find it [edit, found it] - https://www.dsphotoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/mcex.jpg
