I guess it would be better for the moon than for sports or wildlife!

Interesting lens.

You can get similar focal length telescopes for around the same price. Similar focal ratio too, and people use them for imaging. The ED version of those scopes are far more expensive though so this might actually be a bargain for astro.

I can't imagine it's well corrected, but it is a native full frame lens, so on an apsc body it might actually be pretty good!

Fuji X-T30 / XF18-55mm
 
I bought an Alpaka 4L Flow on kickstarter to hopefully be a small camera bag for days out and holidays.

So I was hoping the Flow would take both cameras and if I was lucky 1 spare lens.

I had an old small insert that’s fits into it well, that takes the Xt50 + 16-50 and the Xe1 with pancake lens fits down the end nicely.

It will just take a small prime as well, but is probably if I am been realistic, just pushing it with the prime in. It will shut with all of the in, but feels like it might put a bit of strain on the zip.

But overall very happy with it for most of what I wanted

Crikey. I'm currently on the lookout for an XT5 and I'm starting to see why people are going off MPB lately. Their grading is nuts, and doesn't seem to follow their own guidelines...

There's one with several chips in the bottom and top plate, and a torn eyecup - graded as "Excellent".

Another which looks like it's been kept in a bag of bolts, and has a cracked LCD - graded as "Good".

Yikes.

I have been saying this for yearssssss….I am sure there are people who have had good experiences but it doesn’t remove the FACT that their grading of their stock compared DIRECTLY to description and photos don’t match.

It makes you question their judgment…

On the other hand, I saw a used Viltrox 33/1.4 today for £140 in a camera store here in HK. Also saw a X-E1 for like £130 or something too….I am going to see how much a Viltrox 27/1.2 here cost, even a used one. Saw a X-pro2 for £700 which was about the same as UK.

I have to say I've never had a bad experience with them; however they make a big deal about "the photo you see is the actual lens you'll get", but the other day I had a look to see if they had any of the autofocus Samyang 12mm F/2 - they had one, but the photo was of the manual focus version. Could just be a simple mistake, but it did put me off buying it.

I saw the XM1 too, forgot the price but doesn’t that lack a physical shutter? It is tiny though.

Oh I’m not sure. I’ve wanted to pick one up as cheap as possible for a while so I don’t have to ride my bike with a 1k camera strapped to me
 
X100VI Walk along the river in Yarm.

My X100VI was bought used and something I've noticed is that the photos I'm taking using aperture priority (shutter speed dial at A) are all using a very low shutter speed in bright sunlight. The photo I have attached was shot at F5, SS 1/30s ISO 125. Previous cameras would always use a shutter speed for these shots in hundreds or thousands of a second. What am I missing here?

You have the ND filter engaged??????
 
Does anyone have an xs20 ? I’m in deliberation mode about going back to OM systems or upgrading my x-t20..I want IBIS and a fully articulating screen in a small body as well as decent AF.

I’ve read the xs20 AF was behind the competition so would welcome any hands on experience
 
Isn't it meant to be the latest AF chip/algorithm, but with "only" 26MP to deal with, so should be pretty decent... A mini X-H2S? Can you do a test drive from Fuji?
