Finally plucked up the courage to pick up the camera again. 5 exposures blended, T3 & XF10-24. With a tripod obviously, as my hands wouldn't hold it that still!!

Magic Steve. And a lesson for us all. Make the most of what we have.

Thanks Trev, I came very close to sending EVERYTHING to MBP, that includes all my home studio stuff too, and using the money to buy some new amateur radio gear, but the Mrs kept me on the straight & narrow....

Hope to have my Ball Head delivered today as will start using my monopod as a walking stick then have the camera on it, so best of both worlds.

 

[jknights]

Thanks. Went for Smallrig L bracket.

I have the Smallrig L bracket from AmazonUK on my XH2S and it is excellent, so have bought a second one for my XH2 when it arrives.
Just waiting for the XH2 now and I wil feel that I have a complete system on my Fujis.

I now need to do some serious shooting and decide if the Nikons stay or go.

Another shot from the beach yesterday, same gear, same method.

I have found monopods to be a pain, unless you are sitting/leaning somewhere to give it plenty of support. I now take my Gitzo "Traveller" almost everywhere; it's the smallest lightest tripod I have, but is more than capable of holding the T3 & 100-400 if I use my bag as additional weight.

This one of mine is like a police baton lol Have used it once so far so it is good and strong, did have the odd look of a policeman and just held up my camera and he smiled giving me the thumbs up.

Jus thought I'd share a few of my first outing with the XT4 and 16-55

Nice shots, liking the first one the most.

Well I went through the photos from the session that all went wrong, and there were one or two that I managed to save. This one is my favourite, our 8 month old Grandson Blake, it's the first chance I've had to shoot him since he's been sitting up on his own.

Apologies for the background, but you have to take what you can get when they're that young.

I have to admit though, I'm looking forward to seeing some shots of something other than New York!

Any recommended 3rd party NP-W235 Batteries? Would rather try and save a few quid v the actual Fuji ones!

Thought you had branched out into painting David.
Nice shot.
Where is the gallery?

I use the Hahnel ones.

Definitely a cut above the rest of the clones.
They make good chargers as well.

So did anyone else pre-order an XH2?

I am waiting to see what the coming X-T5 has to offer before deciding which way to jump...

Just looked for those and they seem to be the same price as the genuine Fuji ones

Im tempted by one but haven't pre-ordered. Working part time for waitrose so getting 12% off at John Lewis is part of the reason.

Wex Fuji ones are £49 and Wex Hahnel are £39.95.

Silly question Dave take it they are from Wex? As can't seem to find Hahnel ones when I search.

Yes at Wex for the X-T3 and others.

Makes sense. Did you get a charger as well?

Bristol Cameras have the genuine Fuji ones for £42 each

She went to the groomers yesterday, so I had to seize the opportunity before she rolls in the mud, or jumps in the stream! Taken at the local graffiti wall, which I love seeing the changing art.

No. Already had Fuji double charger.

I always go third party but when I bought a spare battery for my X-T4 recently, I found that the significantly cheaper than OEM options all had iffy reviews (mainly around battery life) and the better third party options all seemed to cost nearly as much as OEM. So for the first time in memory, I went for a genuine Fuji. I think it was about £50 from Cameraworld.

 

[Topsy]

I have non OEM spares but I also have at least one OEM for each camera. When my OEMs wear out I replace them with OEMs lat time I got them from WEX at £49 each for the NP-W126S, (they are still at that price).
