It's been a successful day today. Downloaded ACR 8.4 into CS6 and upgraded LR5 to 5.4. Had a very quick play and the integration seems to have gone smoothly.
It's in my hands. Checked to confirm that there's now no light leak. All good. Off on a long walk with dog and Fuji..
Did you notice any improvement when pressing the back buttons as been claimed by others online?
Enjoy the shoot
Ive just got back home after purchasing the X-T1 - battery is charging now

My new favourite feature. The double exposure. Took the first shot, turned the camera upside down and took the second.
i like the way you can see the previous exposure as a ghost image in the viewfinder and the new image. Very clever of Fuji to com,e up with that !
That's interesting to know, both my batteries are Fuji.
I should add to my comments above that when I mentioned battery life was very good, I should of added that I was shooting some very long exposures with a Lee Big Stopper at f16 which lasted several minutes on Bulb.
I should also add at this point, Calumet do a little cable release (with lock) with a mic jack, which plugs directly into the mic port on the X-T1 for about £9.00 absolute bargain. It's their own brand but works flawlessly.
Does the old 56k even exist now ? Id dread too have it now if it did, even for free it'd be a nightmare too use lol
I recently retired from BT (last October) and seem to recall dial up had been discontinued about the time I left or was just about to be stopped
Hi Nick, I've searched the Calumet site for a cheap release for the XT and can't find on apart from the genuine RR-90 (with its RR price tag!). Any chance of a link, please?
And a couple of recent images taken during the last 10 days closer to home:-
Liverpool Waterfront, arguably one of the finest waterfronts in the world: X-T1, 18-55mm (26.5mm), ISO 200, f/11, 1/340s
Millennium Footbridge, Salford Quays, Manchester. X-T1, 18-55mm (55mm), ISO 200, f/22, 1/34s
:banghead: I have no idea why these are so small on here, can anyone offer up any advice how to make these bigger ?
Many thanks,
Nick
I've joined the club today, having traded my X-Pro1 body for the XT1. So far very pleased, controls very similar to the X Pro so easy to find my way around.
Much quicker to focus and to use, I now need to download the app so that I can connect wirelessly to my ipad or iphone for remote use.
Oh, and I want a grip.
...and a 56mm f1.2.
....and a 10 - 24mm!!

I use an program called IrfanView,then resize/resample to the size i want
Thanks Simon, I probably didn't pose the right question. What I should of asked is how can I post bigger images on this thread ? At the moment I'm using Flicr.
Flickr gives you the option to grab and share what size you want.
The £250 cash off the 18-135mm is advertised on the x-t1 box andcwhen you register it. I couldn't find any info on how to claim it. Will Fuji send out a voucher?
Hmmm..nothing on my box..
I am not a frequent wide angle user but the 14mm is a fine lens. Distortion seems well controlled, sharpness is excellent corner to corner and at 500ish it seems well priced to me. The focal length suits me fine too, especially as I have the 18 for when I don't feel the need to go so wide. I can see the appeal of going even wider though it isn't for me. Image stabilisation isn't something I use much either, especially on wide angles.I am not sure which lens out of the three to go for:
Zeiss 12mm F2.8.
Fuji 14mm F2.8.
Fuji 10-24mm F4.
Zeiss is the most expensive and the F4 is the widest with image stabilisation. The Fuji 14mm is sharp and the cheapest.
Interesting. I m sure mine had a sticker on the top of it. I ll take a picture of it when I m back home.

I think that there a number of factors to consider.
1) The Zeiss Lens is expensive (though a virtually new one went on eBay the other day for around £500), and the reviews of it don't say that it's better than the 14mm Fuji, only wider!!
2) The 10-24 is a lot heavier than other XF lenses and may upset the way you hold the camera, it also is expensive.
3) The 10-24 does not work with the Lee Filter Seven5 range below 12mm, so full Lee (or other manufacturer) 100mm filters will be required.
4) I found that when I had the Sigma 10-20 with a Canon Crop sensor that most of the time 10mm was too wide, and a lot of what I used was in the 14-20 range, you really need a perfect scene to be at 10mm, its very easy to accidently include clutter!
5) The 14mm is very good, very sharp, minimal distortion, its the lens I bought when I faced the same dilemma (It also has no IR hotspots which was important to me)
So I bought the 14mm and have supplemented it with the Samyang 8mm Fisheye for when I want to go really wide. I'm very pleased with my choices.
