The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Curious question, after reading Donna`s @weebleswobble SD Card question (and the answers) ...

I don`t know if I`m in the minority on shooting one image at a time, and when said session is finished, dump the files on my PC, and do what I do etc. Hence I have never seemed to need anything larger than 32gb cards, even though I have it set as overflow to the second slot. I never as yet have needed it.

Pure curiosity is all :)

You are dead right:cool:, I think I have only filled the 64gb card once and that was on an extended holiday! And I have become very lazy and leave the photos on the card and just download the days worth. So saying this, I might have a look at the 32gb instead as I just want to have a backup card (more for the case of a spare in case anything happens to the only card I have). I am making a dashed trip home to NZ and seriously don't want to lose any photos of my family at a time like this, so may chop and change the cards as I go.

These are the ones I have. Rather a bunch of smaller ones, than one biggun. So if things do go belly up for some unknown reason. You don`t lose too much.

“A Boring Personal Update”

Some of you may know that I’ve been through the mill (as they say) health wise over recent times. So to pursue my snapping I had to revert to something considerably lighter to carry so I went down the “Sony RX” route which I like very much and will still continue to use for some of my snapping. I also had to surrender my “PL” which really hurt psychologically as I just did not have the sustained strength & stamina to be 100% safe in the air.

Anyway to help me get back to a reasonable fitness level and to have my “PL” reinstated which I wanted more than anything I engaged the services of a personal trainer, and because of this guy and a lot of hard work I’m over the moon that all parts of my “PL” (including commercial) have been fully reinstated, as I passed all the medicals & tests etc with flying colours (excuse the pun). I can now manage to carry some of my Fuji kit about again which I will be using as well as my “Sony RX units” so I’m sorry to say this and to upset you but here’s another guy returning to this thread.

I can still only jog for about three miles at the moment which is a long way short of my target but is still a considerable increase on the fifty odd yards walking that I had gone down to because of the lack of strength.

That's great news George! Congratulations on getting your PL reinstated, and well done for putting the work in!

That's roughly 2.5 miles further than I can manage. :LOL:
 
About 3 miles further than I could!!!

Congratulations on your return to a reasonable level of fitness, George - enjoy using the Xs!

Many thanks for that Jamie, I can't imagine that I'll ever get up to marathon standard as I'm certainly no spring chicken. But I've set a target of around ten miles which I'd be quite happy with.

Many thanks for that Mate, "Fujigraphs" you remembered. :):)

I'll start posting again a little later today, at the moment I've only got my boring street stuff, and as you know most of my rubbish will be in mono but as soon as I can I'll start trying to get some fresh stuff and see what happens.

Many thanks for that Nod, I'll have to see how things go at first and at the moment I have no plans on upgrading my kit as I'm well happy with the kit I've already still got. I did however give a lot of my "Fuji-X" stuff away as I really didn't think I'd ever get back to what I call a reasonable level of fitness.
 
"Drinks Outside"

The first of my snaps now that I'm able to use my Fuji-X units again. I now tend to bump up the contrast with most of my street style snapping as I prefer a more journalistic and gritty look to them. Pretty much like days past when I used an old "Nikon F" loaded with the original Tri-X or FP4 film.

I don't suppose you could tell my wife that could you, she's always bleating on about what I see in taking snaps of strangers etc among other things. :):)

Spare 5 minutes so X-T3 + XF50mm f2, to slow a shutter speed. Having fun trying to find the Fuji Sims in my Capture One Pro 22

Depends how you've got it set up - I customised the UI pretty quickly when I started using it, but I think you'll find them on the "Colour" tab that is there by default - With film sim, white balance, 3-way colour mixer, skin tool etc etc.

Well you could start shooting old tools, and or boots... That should give her something to rant about ;)
