In theory, they have the details of those of us who registered their X-T1 purchase so should be able to send us the vouchers. Just wondering what to trade in against the lens...
I am still undecided whether to go full frame DSLR (6D) or keep to something a little smaller and lighter. I think the latter is probably the way to go, as I've sold DSLR gear before as it regularly got left at home for being too bulky and heavy. Anyone care to post some nice example images taken with the X-T1 to help with my decision?
Here are a few recent images taken with my X -T1, I personally just love the intuitiveness of the X system and the superb quality optics, photography has become a pleasure for me again and not a chore..........
Thank you. Very nice. Which lenses were you using?
Brilliant. Thanks again BC.
Much as I like primes I personally get more use (and therefore VFM from my purchase) from zooms. I can see that the X-T1 with the three zooms you have quoted there would cover all bases for me. It would be a fair outlay, but I wouldn't (shouldn't) need anything else once I have those in my bag - until the temptation of the new WR lenses gets my wallet twitching again!
Exactly. A bit worried about the price of those though, so hopefully the need to put food on the table would stop me from making any 'unnecessary' purchases.You mean until they release the 16-55 and the 50-140? Both 2.8's!
Just heard we are going to get the £250 voucher of the 18-135mm,they are just not sure how they are going to do it yet
Got one of Xpro-1 body up for sale to paid for it
Did Fuji let you know?

I know. I'll get my coat and hand my TP membership in as I leave!Food over camera stuff
I was in my local LCE,and they told Fuji had send them an e.mail about the voucher
I'll have to pop into my favourite shop and see if the Fuji shooting manager is in today to find out more... He's very pro-active and has phoned the rep a few times to get answers to questions he doesn't know the answers to (like the vouchers, release dates etc.) I'll want a quick play with the WR lens before deciding what to trade in against it. If it comes close to the 18-55's performance, I might swap that in, otherwise it'll be the 18 and possibly the X-Pro1, although I'd rather keep that. Sort of depends on the price of the 18-135. Hoping for <£750 but expecting a bit more.
What's the best 3rd party battery, I've been looking at a couple of EXpro's?
Been using them ones,with no problem

Beautiful set all round, but this is killer
90mm XF f/2 R anyone? - I don't usually set much store by the rumour mills, but it's definitely a lens I would like to see on the road map. Let's hope it's non-macro and non-OIS to keep the price reasonable.
Jamiewednesday, three great shots! The third one is pp'd brilliantly
Reading this thread is hazardous to my wallet !
As are so many thread on TP! This one is threatening my bank balance also, although I'm now trying to exercise a litttle uncharacteristic restraint and wait for the release of new lenses before committing.
I've been using an Ansman (sp?) which I bought for my HS-30 which (handily) uses the same battery as the X-Pro and X-T. I've also pretty much retired the HS-30 so have the original battery for a spare too.
Hopefully finding out more about the 18-135 on Thursday - maybe even a firm price. It's expected to be of similar IQ to the other XF lenses but a stop slower than the 18-55.
