Yep, I did. Although not a lappy this time.
Mac Mini with 1TB SSD and 64GB RAM (I bought the RAM from Crucial and had it fitted. I'm not paying Apple £1000 for it. Saved over £600)
I already had a monitor and keyboard etc.
Using it now, have just edited a Raw from X-T4
This machine really flies.

Sold my Full Frame setup for it. Still not convinced i did the right thing.

That’s the route I took @trevorbray with a mini - it used to be the cheapest way to get into MacOSX. Buying a new one is not much cheaper than a MacBook air now. Unfortunately I didn’t gel with the basics of the OS compared to Windows (although got some use out of iMovie) and also struggled trying to run MAC & Windows happily together in my house. So, I’m back with Windoze 10 and much more comfortable (y)(y)
 
So we’ve got a FB group, and a Flickr group. But, is anyone else on Blipfoto?

https://www.blipfoto.com/alanfstop

I’ve just joined (free account) and am still getting to grips with it - it is basically a daily photo journal where you aim to post one photo a day taken on that day. You can also add as much, or as little, narrative/waffle as you wish. The community seems quite active too.

With my new found love (Oh, did I not mention I love my new X100V?) I am going to be using this to encourage me to be creative, to improve my skills and to just use the thing more!

Very nice landscape style Fujigraph, nicely composed with a good punchy mono presentation.

Yes it’s JPG only, but it’s not bad and certainly useable, I’ve set the button inside the EVF/OVF selector to be RAW, pressing this once takes me out of my usual RAW+JPG into JPG , then the focus ring switches the digital zoom focal lengths, after taking the shot the camera automatically goes back into RAW+JPG - so no chance of accidentally leaving it in JPG

Struggling to find how to change function of button in the lever to do this, any pointers please?
 
"MANY THANKS" to all you Fuji-X ers that have responded to my recent invites to join the "Fuji-X United" Flickr group.

My apologies to anyone on this section of TP that uses Flickr that I've not yet managed to get round to inviting, but all of you are "VERY WELCOME" to join the group and it would be great to have you all along.

George.

I thought about this lens just for casual out and about, or when people say "Take a picture of us" - family gatherings etc, trying to explain to them last time that all I had with me was a 60mm macro lens didn't compute - 'can't you zoom out?' ... :rolleyes: I have heard that it is nice and sharp, just a bit fiddly to use. I'm not big on zooms in general but be nice to have one in the bag for those situations

Also just noticed ... they really added emoticons to likes on posts here? :facepalm:

I noticed that this evening. yes the wire zoom thing isnt the most friendly but for static stuff not really an issue,i think if she didnt have one that I hopefully can borrow from time to time i would get one for myself
 
ill tell you what im getting off those files is an odour of the x100 original,i know its bayer etc but even so its somewhat different but there is soemthing that im liking a lot,im going to nick it when shes out and do a few comparisons with the XT1 and see which look if any I prefer.

“Cracking“ Fujigraph, nuff said.

Hi all, this is my first post on this thread as I am not (yet) a Fuji user, but I'm looking to switch to Fuji from my m4/3 gear. I'll be buying used, and trading in my current set up, plus adding as much cash I can muster via my birthday next month!!!

I'm mostly a landscape guy, with a little bit of wildlife thrown in, so need to cover the focal ranges.

My current thinking is a used X-T3 or X-T30 as budget allows. The main benefit of the X-T3 for me is the weather sealing. It's lenses where I'm a bit more confused (my current M43 set up being 12-40, 35-100(recently deceased!) and 75-300).
For wildlife I'd love the 100-400 but even at used prices that may have to wait. At the wider end what's good bang for the buck? The 18-55 seems to get rave reviews as a terrific kit lens, but then I've seen bad reviews also? Or how does the 18-135 stack up? as that would more or less cover what my combination of 12-40 and 35-100 does in the m4/3 world for landscapes. Or are they both just stepping stones and I'd immediately be wanting the higher end lenses?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

At the wide end the 10-24 is a really nice lens and much cheaper than the new 8-16mm... there's also a lot of really nice wide primes, the Manual Focus Samyang 12mm is lovely and very cheap, the Fuji 14mm f2.8 is relatively cheap used and if you want the best the 16mm f1.4 is just incredible!

The 18-55 is a great lens; its always been highly rated and is a cut about other "kit lenses" - its not as good as say the 16-55 but then its much cheaper and a heck of a lot smaller!

Not every lens is weather sealed; only lens with WR in their title - I don't think that includes the 18-55 if I'm honest.

I'm not sure on the 18-135 so I'll let someone else come back on that one; there's also the new 16-80 f4 which covers a good range too but again I've not seen too much on that one myself yet.
