How was handling that lens with the X-E1?Thought I would try out the 50-230 on the x-e1 this morning. Quite happy with the results. Had to over expose the dog a little to be able to make her details

I see that they are already being offered at £3k.View attachment 419303
The original plan was to sell this on... But now that I've held it, I'm not sure I can!
I see that they are already being offered at £3k.
Must be desperate, I have already had 2 offers at £200 less than the asking price of £3kI see that they are already being offered at £3k.
Geeez, I'd sell it and get into the queue for a normal one!
Free X100VI.
Yea i recall seeing you posting about yours arriving too and how you ordered it later at LCE, i actually got a email from WEX today about still having no stock allocation for my order.I ordered the black on the 24th and got mine 2 weeks ago from LCE.
It seems individual stores has their own allocations and queues?
Pretty tempting tbh.
It's tough to know what will happen with them. I feel like the current hype and lack of availability of the standard version is driving up the price more than the rarity/collector value ever will in the future. I can't imagine someone paying £3k for one in a years time, or 5 years, or 20....
But then who knows? There are only 1934 of them worldwide. Considering the millions of units that are being sold that is a very limited number...
I should probably shift it on ebay while I can, but I'm nervous about it. I've never done high value stuff and have heard horror stories of people losing out to scams since ebay seems to always side with the buyer in disputes. Also, at £3k the fees are like £400+.
There was a controversial ad on here last week where a guy was asking for a trade or cash (£2.2k) for a standard edition - he got torn to shreds. I guess a limited edition is a little different...

I'll definitely be making pre-orders elsewhere in future
Surprisingly easy. I thought it might be a bit big for the body.How was handling that lens with the X-E1?
Selling LEs seems to be controversial. But I only managed to get the cameras I have today by selling a collection of LE Swiss Army Knives.Pretty tempting tbh.

Do you mean to be able to bracket 3 custom profiles, like you can do with the film sims ?I have a fuji related question - I never hugely got on with the jpeg profiles last time I used them (xt-2 and X100T). The quality was good, but I found that it wasn't easy to get the profile I wanted in the moment. Do modern fuji cameras, like the xpro 3, allow you to record an image in, say, 2 or 3 jpeg styles at once? I don't mean the old bracketing method (where it would fire off three shots) but just take one shot and process it three ways.
It would save me ages - I mostly had a daylight profile, a shade profile and a black and white high contrast acros profile, and if I could have each image save three times once per profile, I reckon I'd very rarely need lightroom classic.
I always struggled with the raw files as well, and the worms when sharpening, although they were not problematic when printing for the most part...

I think this would be great as well, I know my xe1 can’t but haven’t checked on my xt4
I can’t see it being that difficult for Fuji to do. I am guessing their film sims are just their own custom profiles
Sort of - I know it can bracket "film sims", but does it require multiple images to do so or can it take all 2,3,4 or whatever at once so there is no delay and only one photo in multiple styles?
I don't want "click click click - 3 jpegs" I was hoping it could do "click - 3 jpegs of the same image in different styles".
Other brands don't do this either. I don't think fuji film sims look much like film, but they are nice and they offer a decent amount of in camera configuration, so if it could bracket custom profiles from a single shot it could arguably replace my lightroom classic sub and I can go for the cheaper cloud option.

If I didn`t have the 80mm, I`d jump at it. I know they`re different beasts, but rarely take people shots, and the 80 will cover if I want longer than the 56
Am I missing something or does this only work with raw files ?You can't do it with no delay unfortunately. You can however apply different styles to an image after you've shot it by pressing Q during playback.
It's not immediate, but it would get you one image in a number of styles SOOC.

Sweet. Xpro 2 is probably on my horizon then. I don't think I can afford an x pro 3, they're really holding value... I suppose I could consider an xe4 if I want a more modern body.You click once and then it does then there is a pause as it process 3x the profiles and then stores them.
Please, we all had worms with early versions of the Fuji bodies, you just had to learn how to process them (and not oversharpen them). You can set up most Fuji bodies to take multiple shots in different JPG profiles. Personally, I never use JPGs, what's the point when you have all that data in the raw file?

I tried everything, and really struggled in some photos more than others. Like I say, it isn't actually a problem - files printed fine at viewing distance and it wouldn't put me off.
I usually shoot raw + jpeg. Where I can save space and time I'll tweak a jpeg, and save raws for when they're needed. I only take photos for me, after all
That's fine, i don't rattle off lots of shots anyway.I don't know if it does that in the X-E4 or X-Pro3, you will have to look into it. The X-S10 doesn't have that feature but the X100VI does.
The pause isn't really much of a pause, but of course you will be in single shot mode.
You can stipulate collection only and payment by bank transfer on collection too, i've done it a few times and just wait for the 80% off fees offer, seems to be every other weekend at the moment. I sold a Leica Q3 this way, guy came and inspected, paid on the spot. I certainly wouldn't be posting it, I recently had a new member use buy it now on a drone hours after he joined so I just cancelled the deal, harsh maybe if they were genuine but i'm 99.9% sure it was a scammer.Pretty tempting tbh.

Seems they have the 80% offer on this weekend, but when creating the listing I can tick cash on collection, but can't untick the "payment through ebay" option...
Do I just need to state it in the description? What happens if they ignore it and pay through ebay anyway? Can I cancel it without losing anything?
Its changed now, the buyers gets sent a unique code if they pay through eBay and are colecting, the seller scans this code on collection, so that eBay knows the transaction has taken place. I was a buyer of a relatively high value item last week that was collection only, and I was initially concerned about paying through eBay (the only offered option) as 'what was to stop the seller saying the item had been collected or just disappearing from eBay, how I could I prove in the event of a dispute that I hadn't collected the item?' - but the code sorts all that out - if the seller can't scan the code (with his phone/ebay App) then the item hasn't been collected.
In the event everything went smoothly. (and no it wasnt photography related before @imattersuk gets too excited...........................
And yes you can cancel it, if the buyer has no intention of rocking up.....
My concerns are the other way around though - What's to stop them getting home then saying "The item doesn't work" or whatever and going for a refund, or does collection in person mean ebay will just say "tough, you should have checked it first"?
Just state in bold "Payment By Bank Transfer on Collection Only No Exceptions", you can't exchange address, tel. no etc via ebay message though they will block it if it hasn't been paid for through their system so I usually give them my insta or facebook details and then message that wayMy concerns are the other way around though - What's to stop them getting home then saying "The item doesn't work" or whatever and going for a refund, or does collection in person mean ebay will just say "tough, you should have checked it first"?

That’s what the code is for!When I collected the guitar, I paid in cash after checking it over. I did remember scanning the code but the seller “cancelled” the sale! Guess he didn’t pay the fees if he did that lol I don’t know how he did that though…
But I got what I wanted and he got paid.
What I would do as a seller is I would never accept PayPal if collect in person. With no proof of postage you are stuck. You could video the entire sales transaction I guess to cover your bum

Costs less than a Leica………
