The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Aside from the obvious difference with max aperture and weather resistance, how do the Viltrox 23 and 33mm lenses stack up against the Fuji f2 equivalents?

Cheers,

Simon.

Bought one a couple of weeks ago and took it on holiday, great little bag, holds a body + largish zoom lens plus 2 more lenses plus bits and bobs and an iPad.

It`s surprising how much you can get into that little compartment isn`t it :)

Haha fully loaded :thumbs:
Usually I have H1 with 16-55, 80mm and a mini tripod. Remote shutter, spare fags, snacks and water bottle. It seems everything just fits so well, and with space to spare. I`m really happy with mine. Still feels light, even with all that, compared to my old Nikon kit ;)
 
I have a friend whose XT-2 has developed a fault. I had recommended Fixation to him but from their website it seems that they don't repair this model.... Any recommend a repair service that covers Fuji?
 
Just having a quick play with my new X-E1, seems like a great little camera, obviously not as swanky as the latest models, and like the XP1, the AF is continuous is useless. But I can see I am going to have some fun with this. I am also liking the pop up flash for a little puff of fill when needed. Hopefully I will get some shots next week while I am off. I am going to stick the 35 1.4 on there for the week and just see what I can get. :)

Any recommendations for a backpack. I have an old Lowe Pro Mini trekker at present which is big enough but I can’t fix my tripod to it when I’m out and about.

Any suggestions. I tried a Peak Design Everyday 20l but the design is far too form over function with all your kit just rolling around in it.

I have been really impressed with my Evoc Stage Capture - enough room for my kit X-T2 and 3 lenses, with any of the lenses mounted in the camera compartment. And either side or bottom option for tripod carry. The main thing though is that the carrying system is really good and I am yet to get a sweaty back with it, despite walking in some hot/humid conditions.

Thanks. Must admit I’ve been eyeing up the V. But then I take this out..

I'd say for those type of pictures the latest sensor would not be an improvement. Just my opinion of course. I have 3 different sensors in the Fuji's I own, and for these type of shots I don't think you can beat this.

Another from the past few days in Scotland, edited in Capture 1 (lots to learn).

It's one of the first times, I've actually come home, loaded my selection of photographs onto the computer and been really pleased with how they've turned out. I used a combination of X-H1, 16-55mm f2.8 & my X100F throughout the few days and really enjoyed it! Think I'm 'finally' happy with my gear! :cool:

I've been tempted by the X-E series. I have a X100F and very much enjoy it but occasionally would like a longer lens. Was there any particular reason you picked X-E1 vs. 2 or 3?

I chose the X-E1 as I prefer the Bayer X Trans sensor. I’d say the 2 or 3 will have much improved AF. But Ive got other Fuji’s when I need that.

Edit - I meant X Trans sensor :)

I think what you mean is the X-E1 has the original XT1 sensor, it's not Bayer, but the same as the Xpro1 and some do prefer that older sensor

Oops yes, that's what I meant.. :)
 
First day back in the hills (since breaking my ankle in January followed by lockdown) and back to some Welsh Slate Quarries!!! Went with a friend, mainly a film day, I shot two rolls on the GSW690III and he shot 3 rolls on a Mamiya RB67 (rather him than me lugging that about!!). Was a fantastic day, real moody Welsh weather, we were battered by frequent heavy showers, driving winds, and the base level at Rhosydd was often in cloud!!! Took a few snaps on my posh Lightmeter (aka X100F)
