Noooope.

The only fn button left are ISO and Q and I like them to stay as they are, Q for quick mention is useful.

On the back there is Menu/ok and Display/Back and the joystick.

I thought I read that the button to the right of the eyecup, normally WB could be set to it. Maybe I am wrong

Oh, I forgot about that button! Currently for Face detect on/off.

Can't see it to change it to recipes as an option though.

No its worth a :ROFLMAO: but for a big birthday it was worth a shout - the main issuie though is @bloater - he needs not to get buyers remorse (over any purchase) and get out there and use it - both of which so far have eluded previous camera purchases. @bloater think long and hard before buying anything (please)

Can’t buy one for love nor money (X100VI) :rolleyes: and I’m not keen on joining a pre-order queue :confused:

X-T5 and 23mm WR is far better and as the 100's aren't really pocketable that would be my choice

The easiest way is to be able to save it as an extra slot in the Sim screen. That would be the most logical place to put it.

I was trying to add them to the down arrow on my x-e1 the other day and for the life of me could not work out why it was not working.

Turns out I had been playing with recipe bracketing and whilst that was still active, you could not assign the recipe page to any buttons.

I don't even know what recipe bracketing is.

Scarily accurate Mr Percpetive.

What is this Leica Q that you speak of?

I’ve used the OVF almost exclusively on my previous Vs and Fs - never found an EVF very appealing. So the X100 series makes sense for me.

Spotted this tree in Kawaguchiko, Japan.

Kawaguchiko and it's north shore are popular photo spots, so I'm surprised I've never seen this before. It's only about 5-10minutes walk further than the usual spots.

Given how well kept all trees are in Japan, I can't help but feel that the shape isn't a coincidence - There has likely been some deliberate pruning over the years...

Every good boy deserves nice presents!
 
Got up to Loch Fyne at the weekend and brought the X100VI on its first proper test. I'm very impressed with it - I always have had a soft spot for the X100 variants! Only issues so far is that it doesn't seem to be registering the wide converter. I've an original gen with magnets stuck on - this worked for the X100F and V, so not sure what's happening. Will dig around in the menus in case there's a non-auto setting I missed! Last photo was from Loch Eck on the way back to the Dunoon ferry.

Updated March 21st

When Fujifilm announced its new X100VI rangefinder-style camera at a press event in Japan last month, it teased a special version of the camera: the X100VI Limited Edition. Following an announcement on its Instagram channel today, we now know that sales of the Limited Edition model in the US will be limited to just 300 cameras.

Fujifilm UK has revised its plan for distributing its 110 units is now asking prospective buyers to register for the Fujifilm X mailing list. A link to join a ballot will be sent out on March 25th, making it easier for photographers outside London to apply.

According to Fujifilm, 100 cameras will be sold daily in the US from March 21st to March 23rd on a first-come, first-served basis, and you'll need to buy them directly from Fujifilm's online store, so if you want one, you'll need to move quickly (and maybe have a bit of luck to boot).

Here's a rundown of where to order the X100VI Limited Edition in different countries:

That is just the special limited edition version though. I like that Hong Kong are only accepting registrations to their ballot from email addresses that have previously been used to register a Fuji camera.
 
i was curious about that too when I got my x-t20 but bought the Viltrox version instead as you can pick it up for £150-ish. In my experience, the Viltrox was very sharp but does have quite a bit of CA wide open… can be “fixed” in post usually

Sold it this week as I have the 18mm f2, 27mm f2.8 and 33mm f1.4 so the 23 just wasn’t getting used

Is this the best 23mm lens?

Fujifilm Fujinon XF23mm F1.4 R Lens​

Click to expand...

It’s no slouch, it’s sharper at F2 than the original X100 lens and the XF23mm F2.

As @trevorbray says the newer WR F1.4 is probably slightly ahead but the revised X100 version (V/VI) is also excellent but not at F1.4!!!

IMO there are some good third party options but none of them are as good as the Fuji’s once you take everything into account (but they are cheaper).

I liked the original 23mmF1.4 on the X-T2, the balance was good and I felt I got decent results, but if it was a one camera solution I would personally go for the X100V over and X-T2/3+XF23mmF1.4 - but then you’ve already been there :)

These have a nice vibe - what filter/processing ?

Thanks....

Ummm..... I'm not entirely sure on the exact PP to be honest. When I picked up the X100f I used the same LR profile that I made for my Sony cameras which I then messed around with slightly to get them more 'matching' from both systems. I'm pretty sure I then stepped it back a bit as I wanted the Fuji stuff to be more one click film like rather than the more precise Sony editing.

For years now I have usually gone for the more softer pastel film style.
