The Official Fuji X10/X20/X30/XF1/XQ1 Thread

For wrist straps - back when I had the Canon I made my own. I ordered paracord fron eBay for about 2 quid, then spent an hour or so practising and watching YouTube guides for making paracord bracelets.

About a month later I found out about gordys...

 

[THIRTYFIVEMILL]

I do like the look of the Gordy over the Cordy wrist straps. Did you go for black or a shade of brown out of interest?

Be sure to take a look at the ones from FootPrint. Beautiful straps and Clive who makes them is a top guy, too.

I reviewed both the neck strap and wrist strap a while back. You can find those here:

Typically, I quite like the 8mm braided strap but cordweaver only seem to do it in a neck strap [emoji23]

He does one in 6mm but it needs a rubber ring or similar to tighten it onto wrist imo.

That may be the very thing I'm after, Al! Not sure how I missed it on the website tbh [emoji85] [emoji1]

Black and red, Ian. Looks great on the black X10!

Fit like a newly made glove, Al! The Lensmate especially is a must have imo even only after using it for a few minutes.

Hi Chris

Where'd you get your Gordy strap from if you don't mind me asking. Did you order direct? Their reseller in the UK doesn't seem to stock many colour options.

Cheers

Ian

 

[ChrisR]

I got it from tripman.co.uk , I don't know if they still do them...

Yeah, they appear to be the only authorised reseller but don't have the colour I'm after. May send them a message to enquire.

You can of course buy them direct from Gordy in the US; with postage, it comes to around £22 I think, compared to £18 plus postage from Tripman...

 

[Al1944]

Any X10, X20 or X30 owners gone for an X100T? What are your thoughts?

AL

 

[andyscott]

One from the x20 on holiday.

 

[Al1944]

Not your average holiday snap Would like to see the original (colour) version without the border.

The RAW or SOOC jpeg?

 

[Al1944]

The jpeg

Thanks,

[andyscott]

Resized in PS, automatic, resized 1200px on the long side, saved as Jpeg 10.

 

[Al1944]

I must say that I do prefer that.

The colour one? I wanted to get a grainy old film look to it, hence the processing.

 

[ChrisR]

I don't much care for the artificial grain (if you want a film look, shoot film ) but I do prefer the black and white version.

How does Lightroom 5 cope with the RAW files - can that plus camera profiles rival the JPG output?

I do not know about earlier versions of lightroom but the more recent versions like 9.5.1 do an excellent job with X20 and X30 raw files.
None of the versions do a specially good Job with the X10 files which never seem to be able to match the jpegs.
But all versions give a lots of scope recovering lost highlight and shadow detail.

 

[Al1944]

Here you go, a job for the weekend

Hope you don't mind, but it's a nice scene and I had a play.

 

[jonbeeza]

Missus just bought me a Gilet style waistcoat, nice and lightweight. Loads of big zipped pockets, pretty streamlined. Just tried it out by popping the X10 in one of the big zipped pockets, perfect.
A big thank you to my missus..

Not at all, it was a drunken shot from a bar in Thailand

Do you use a lens hood? I've found that whilst I like to have it, it has a serious effect on how 'pocketable' the camera is.

No, my X10 is just standard set up. I never seemed to have a big enough pocket for it, unless I wore my big coat. Warm weather, the new waistcoat is ideal

 

[landwomble]

I'm back in the club! XF-1 sold, X-30 purchased. Lovely, lovely little thing. So impressed with the JPGs

 

[Al1944]

Even though I have one (silver) I was VERY tempted to buy that myself. Took great will power

 

[Snapsh0t]

I was seriously tempted too but managed to hold off long enough for Mr Womble to remove the temptation. The state of my overdraft after buying an RX10 III helped considerably.....

 

[Mrbaker]

Loved my x30 but sold it in a moment of madness

I don't feel quite as sorry for you now, Mike!

 

[Ian W]

Does anyone successfully pair an X30 with an android phone for transferring files to? I can't get my X30 to connect to my Galaxy S6 Edge, yet to try my X-T10.

 

[srichards]

X30 wifi type connecty thing doesn't appear to work. Mine doesn't with an iPhone. Seems to be a common complaint.

Well that's disappointing. Not a deal breaker as I can connect the camera with a USB cable but would be easier if I didn't have to given it's a selling point of the camera.
