The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I wonder if anyone can answer this question?

Would the Fuji X100 give me the same field of view as I get from my Canon G7X set at 24mm ? Oh, and without the Distortion?

Back in Fuji land - found a mint X-T3 with 514 shots on it for £700 including a battery grip that I will sell - pleased with that and I can't think of a better camera for that money !

Thinking of adding a 15-45 as a wide prime and then an 18-55 + 50-230.

Good deal

That's a Positive "RESULT" in my book Justin, Congrat's & "ENJOY".

The Canon has a smaller sensor so, I think, the Fuji will appear wider, but, I think, field of view isn't the right way to think about it, or something. I get confused.

The end result though, will be different.

There is next to no distortion on the Fuji.

I struggle with the Nikon D3300 and 35mm 1.8G lens for indoor stuff, so I use the Canon at the 24mm end as I can get full length people shots. Just thinking if the Fuji X100 would be good for full length people shots, while indoors?

You are local to me (I'm in Hartford nr Northwich)

You need to make a decision about blowing highlights for night-time photography, bright lights are very difficult to control, its often better to shoot in blue hour, after sunset as the overall lighting can be less extreme, and there is often more interest in the sky.

If you shoot with a tripod you have more options (as you can bracket shots), but handheld, you just need to set the exposure for what you want (in terms of highlights and shadows) and deal with high ISO in post.

Loving that steam mill pic. I'll send you a pm.
 
Hi Guys,

I’m looking for a lens to give me some distance, I have the chance to purchase either a Canon L 70-200 f4 version 1 (£400) or a Sigma 100-400mm (£500). I have a fringer pro II adapter to go on my Xpro2. Which would you choose and why?

One was to do it, is curse that a camera has a issue and you have to send it in for repair. Hide it and don`t use it until the new one arrives, and bingo, Your newly *repaired* camera is back ;)
 
Just in case no one reads the wanted section I’m after a mint 18-55 and black 15-45 !!

Is it just me that thinks the X-S10 is a Sony/Nikon mirror less hybrid?

Nope, you`re not alone. It`s gotta be the most fugly camera i`ve seen from Fuji.

No, not just you.
If it had ‘proper’ dials and knobs and a tilting screen, weather sealing and few tiny amendments it would be on my list. It’d be perfect, small and the reason most people jumped to Fuji all those years ago.

Many cameras do you need? ;) haha.

It is quite ugly but I think the features and price point are smart but only if they weren't releasing an X-T40 which is rumoured for 2021. Theyve got something up their sleeves and I think it's a readjustment of their camera line-up to make it less of a jump to the next camera in line.

It looks like a baby xh1 but with the dials missing. I think I have room for one more :p

The guy from Amazon "Sat Nav" has gone pear shaped so he'll not be able to deliver it to you. :):exit:

Thanks to everyone who responded in previous threads in relation to Capture One/Lightroom. Very informative which is exactly what I was after. I personally haven't had any issues with Lightroom (only using it a few months), however there is no harm in giving the Capture One trial a rattle to get a feel of what it's about.
 
Took a wander around a local woodland this morning and whilst wandering along the path (in the bottom image) I spotted this tiny mushroom (it is around 8mm across the cup). I have no idea what species it is (following a fruitless google search), but it's it a delight ...

And here is an edit of an image on the path where the mushroom was (I really need to learn how to post proces woodland images properly, i'm clueless and youtube hasn't been too much help thus far) ...

I've done a quick search on line for British mushrooms and fungi and it appears to be a lilac bonnet which shouldn't be eaten. The note for it states this "This mushroom was once considered edible but contains small amounts of muscarine so is now off the menu.

Thanks for looking it up but I think the one you're looking at is too big (yours is an average cap size of 5cm, this one is about 5mm), this one is very small indeed and quite translucent. To be honest you'd need about 5000 of them for a decent feed anyway as they are absolutely tiny! :ROFLMAO:

This now ruined cottage is where my mother was evacuated to during the war, to escape the blitz of Liverpool. She, her mother and her two sisters and baby brother lived here for the duration. It was hard, and my grandmother must have been some indomitable character - cooking over an open fire and water from a well, looking after three girls and a baby in arms, the nearest shops several miles away in the next village. I'm guessing the elevation here at around a thousand feet, so winter must have been a serious challenge too.
My grandad visited when he could, on leave, and on one memorable occasion brought his rifle for them to see and fired a shot over Mynydd Mawr opposite.
The school trip was a walk to the top of Mynydd Mawr (Elephant Mountain), where a kind teacher ensured that pennies for everyone were found in the Elephant's nest.

The lens on the canon is an 8.8mm to 36.8mm giving an equivalent angle of view to a 24mm to 100mm zoom lens on full frame.

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II - PowerShot and IXUS digital compact cameras

With a 1.0 type sensor, bright f/1.8-2.8 Canon lens and superior DIGIC 7 processing this pocket-sized, large sensor PowerShot G7 X Mark II offers DSLR-like creativity in both stills and Full HD movies.
www.canon.co.uk www.canon.co.uk

The lens on the Fuji is 23mm and gives an equivalent angle of view to a 35mm lens on full frame.

Both sensors share the the same 3:2 aspect ratio, so the the Canon is giving you a considerably wider angle of view than you would get on the Fuji.
 
Finally had something other than a pigeon visit my bird feeder and I was too late.

This goes out to all those near misses.

(As it happens what had arrived first was a brown sparrow type bird, so I ran upstairs and put the long lens on, back down to the kitchen and this had landed... briefly. The pain)DRB13903_1.jpg

Thanks,

It's just that I am after an X100, although I have been looking at an X-E3 and an 18mm for indoor use. I was originally looking at the X100 for indoor use for family photos, but I was wondering if it would be wide enough?

Robins will always return, we've had the same few visit the garden here for the past few years, I'm assuming it's the same ones at least, have spotted them throughout the year not just in colder times. He'll be back ;)

The 18mm on the on the E3 is still only equivalent to a 27mm on FF so still not as wide as the 24mm equivalent on the Canon.

Difficult to know how wide a lens you will need. if you aren't sure you need the 24mm and want an X100, you could always consider buying it along with the 28mm w/a add on lens. This has reputation of high quality and good handling, but I've never used one.
