The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I can see where you`re coming from. But with the 23 and 56 chattering away. I hope I won`t see too much difference in the 35.

I has a Fuji 14mm f 2.8 for a while, and that was a pretty cool little lens. I traded that for my "Jack of all trades" 16-55. Hence the 35 being bit of a luxury lens for me :)

It's a strange one really, as when I look at my old Flickr acc some of my favorite images were shot using the 35 1.4 and the old XT1. In general and more so back then, I didn't need a lens to be quick nor quiet. I just got used to quieter lenses over time and I think it's harder go back in that case to noisier ones. I'm sure you'll love it, the output is what matters most of course and I found little to fault with it on that front.
 
Does anyone use the K&F Circular polariser? I have the Kase filter set, but as my lens is only 72mm, I have to use step up rings so a little cumbersome, and can't stay on the camera.
I was originally just looking at the one screw on polariser, but as a perfect consumer, I see there is other magnetic ones that come with ND1000 as well....
 
Long walk up and down (and up and down and up) the Thames this afternoon. Dreary day in the main so I was pleased how these came out in the end.

1. Houses of Parliament, ten-stop long exposure, surprising outcome. There was a bit of colour in the sky from sunset but I wasn't expecting anything like this

2. Cliche shot but my nose was cold so this spot didn't smell as bad as it usually does

3. A whole mess of buildings at night.

4. Bonus shot. Anther long exposure that I wasn't expecting to work but I quite like it

I`m sure a man of your calibre will manage to cope ;)

Noooooooooo ;)
At least the A9 looks better (imo) The others look like there`s a dial missing on the lhs. I know they`re only tools, but...

Or of course, just hold on for the H2 :)

"Excellent" start to my photographic year, a snap in "Explore" this very morning that'll find its way onto here in the not too distant future, and a very nice payment in from two of the picture agencies that I belong to.
 
Don't know if you subscribe to Andy Mumford's YouTube channel. He's released an overview of his experience over 6 years with Fuji gear and in particular the X-cameras and lenses.

He shares his reasons for choosing Fuji together with his impressions of the system versus what he was using beforehand and how it stacks up against what else might be out there. Andy is primarily a landscape shooter and his case-use is very much driven by what he needs from a camera system

Some cracking shots too.

 
I have acquired an X-H1 to complement my X-T3. Both have battery grips Both have a charger for charging the 2 extra batteries in the grip without having to remove them from the camera.
Does anyone know if the 2 chargers are interchangeable, as it would be great to only have to use one of them instead on both...
 
hi advice wanted
looking for a 3 lens set up for my XT-30 , seem to get more confused with the more i read
read some were about one persons 3 lens he uses

10- 24 mm
16-80 mm
70-300mm
i did have it in my head i wanted the 100-400 but if the 70-300 is sharp it wouldn't bother me especially as i use nikon 200-500 when im at airshows
the fuji set up is for me a lighter go any were & vacation set up .
would just require them to be sharp

thanks in advance for any help

Since the summer I've been using the 16-80 and 70-300 as a two lens travel system and have been really happy with the output from both. I've various primes if I think I really want the best output possible, but for 90% of my use (with the exception of when I bring the x100f - that's just a fun thing to use!), these two lenses are really performing well for me.

I can definitely recommend the 70-300mm. I have it and love it. From what I see in reviews the 100-400mm is a bit better, but MUCH bigger, heavier, and more expensive, so seems like diminishing returns to me.

As for a 3 lens setup? My 12mm, 18-55mm, and 70-300mm covers all bases for me. I prefer the 18-55mm since it's smaller and faster. I don't mind the gap from 55-70mm, it's never been an issue.
