You`ll need...
- 1 round of Baking Camenbert

4. Stir in the chopped prosciutto and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until slightly crispy.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the honey and chili flakes.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the Camenbert is melted and bubbly.

Glad you enjoyed it, George :)

You'll have to pop over to @trevorbray 's as he's in the mind of on loaf one person :ROFLMAO:
 
Looks like my 18-135 will need to visit Fuji for a repair. It's gone horribly soft in one corner. It's also a bit tatty, (grips a bit lose etc.)

Are I right in thinking that Fuji repairs are a fixed price for each item.? Seems to be 135.00 for the lens in question. Will Fuji give the lens a full MOT while they have it or just fix the issues I tell them about?

My understanding is that its a fixed price repair, and your lens will come back as if it is a factory refurb lens (ie fully serviced) excepting any general wear and tear
 
Probably much like a chunky X100VI...

That has been my experience with. the two X-H1's and four lenses I have sent to the UK service department for servicing and/or repair over the last year. You also get 12 months guarantee on any replacement parts and the work carried out. Another plus point is that they send you a suitable foam filled cardboard box and pay the postage both ways.

Quite like the look of the X-T50 with a 23mm prime lens. Anyone got/had one?
Click to expand...

Alan, if thats the 23mm 2F2 or the old 23mm F1.4 lens, it will not be as sharp as your previous X100V, the newer 23mm F1.4 will be.

I quite like the X-T50 in the hand, but you are moving away froim something that 'could' fit in a large pocket.

And given the fact that you've not gelled enough with your previous Fuji's to keep them for a long time, maybe something from a different manufacturer might be an option worth considering.......

Yup. I had several of mine done a while ago including the 18-135, all at fixed prices which include postage (they send you a box and label). One needed a new group of glass bits (I never knew) and another had fungus. Absolutely excellent service and a fast turnaround.

EDIT, looks like I'm a bit late to replying but another positive from me.

This is helpful, but can’t afford a Leica lol.

I found the lens in the X100VI (and previous V) nice and sharp (y)

Thanks.

Repair is booked and paid for. Very helpful of them to provide packaging for lens.

I have been given an olympus fit manual focus lens and need an adaptor so I can use it on my fuji body.
I don't want to spend a lot as I don't imagine I'll be using it a lot but any recommendations as to what to buy?
Amazon has a few - there is this one K&F Concept OM to FX Compatible para Lens Mount Adapter for Olympus Zuiko OM Mount Lens to Fujifilm Fuji X FX Mount Camera for Fuji XT2 XT20 XE3 XT1 X-T2 https://amzn.eu/d/jl7EVfT
Is there any reason to spend any more?
Does anyone have something they no longer want and want to sell it (via the proper channels obviously)

I have used several K&F adapters in the past with no issues.

This one is £10 cheaper:


I bought an M42 adaptor for a Helios lens and just went for the cheapest I could get, it's been absolutely fine. It wouldn't surprise me if they were all made in the same place, tbh.
