The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Ok how about the 90mm ,thinking cat and fox photos ,flowers and longer landscape ,this will be for now the xt2.

The 18mm for street and landscape walk about
 
Can we explore this lens a bit more Trev, been watching Dustin Abbot review and use of it and he was saying even at 1/200th he had some motion blur ,another guy ,forgot his name uses for street and no probs as he’s not shooting so close so any thoughts? Also would the 56mm 1.2 be a decent alternative?( pity you haven’t got a shot with that ).
I have had the 56mm in the distant past ,I remember two options,have they updated it yet like the 23 35 and 50?

There's a 56R, 56R APO and the new weather sealed one (y)
 
Not sure what this lady was doing or where she was going - This was taken in Meiji Jingu, a shrine in central Tokyo. It's in a huge park and getting from the edge to the shrine itself is a 10min or so walk through the park. Seems an odd place to bring a suitcase.
They seem to host a conveyor belt of weddings there throughout the day though, so perhaps she was there with one of them.
Either way, the light was nice that morning, and the bright red caught my eye.

I like that (y) I have to say I am jealous of these film presets, I can never create one that I like :headbang: :LOL:

The 90mm is a great lens...

Here's a couple from me, the first with a set of tubes attached.

And it's a brilliant portrait lens too:

What do you currently do in LR mate?

As little as possible :lol:

With film like presets I've tried the old VSCO ones, I've then tried tweaking the VSCO ones, I've downloaded other free 'film' ones, and recently I found some for Sony that allegedly replicate the Fuji presets. As yet I've not found anything that I'm truly happy with and works across all genres.

Yeah, a mate of mine has those Fuji presets for Sony ones and some others - I can't remember what (brand) they are called now, but about £90 I think! I was hoping he'd send me the Classic Chrome or Portra one :ROFLMAO:

In LR, try the Portrait profile, correct the WB and use Calibration and HSL for colour tweaks.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. The Fuji simulations for Sony I've got were free (y)

If you don't mind the lack of aperture ring you might want to look at the Sigma f1.4 small, light and a very decent performer.
 
Hey Guys,

Thinking of taking another crack at Fuji with the XT5, had the 1, 2, & 3 previously. Is it far Superior to the XT4 ?

Currently using my Sony a7iv for Street Photography but a little on the big side, so was looking at trading my a9 for either the XT4 or XT5 and picking up the 23mm as the perfect street package.

Would be great to hear real world experiences for people who use on a regular basis rather than the utube stuff.

TIA

I just replied to this in the Sony thread - #war :ROFLMAO:
But I've just had an additional thought.... If you shoot street without AF (which I do) there was someone trying to sell an X100s on here this past week wasn't there ....

I had an xt4 first and then an xe1, found I was using the xe1 all the time and sold the xt4.
Nothing wrong with the xt4, just didn’t quite gel with it.
Have ordered myself an OM 5 to have a modern camera when required. I did regret selling selling my Olympus e-m1 iii a bit, so looking forward to the OM 5

Trevor,what made you go for the X-H2s rather than X-H2?
Click to expand...
Chris. When I bought the X-H2s the X-H2 wasn’t yet released. Really liked the 2S for its stacked sensor. It is a very good action/wildlife camera. Super ergonomics and lovely EVF. I subsequently bought the X-H2 and X-T5. Long gone now…
