If you mean who I think you mean.....I'm out on a shoot with him at the weekend. A Fuji shoot but he's taking a N..........

Is that a banning offence? The N........ I mean!

Personally I think he deserves shot for that.
Obviously convert to B&W before you post it though.
 
just picked up an X-T10 with 18-55 today.Should be fun to take on holiday and a lot lighter to lug around than the D300 with its 18-50 f/2.8
 
Going on an trip XT-1 -16-55mm and battery grip,see how I feel after carrying this lot,plus some backup gear in another bag :D

Going to try the XT-1 on an blackrapid strap

Had a little play with the 16-50 lens which I recently purchased on here. Really nice little zoom. I know it's not the same build as the 18-55 but it still surprised me in terms of how solid it still felt for what's essentially all plastic. The output quality is pretty decent too :)
I'm aware it's slower too, however as a walkabout lens it's pretty useful to have something of that range :)

On Tuesday I was shooting with the X-T10 + 35mm, with the 18mm and 16-50 in a Hadley Small and it felt next to nothing in weight. My 5D and 50mm felt heavier! Almost tempted to sell it and get the 56mm :whistle:
I've sold a 5D before however when I had my XP1 and regretted it.

Hey, thanks for all the good vibes on the shots earlier.

Yes, Peter Moira Station near Lisburn, my hometown.

I have a lot to learn Colin! :confused: Had a NEX-5 previously and fairly much had it mastered. Went Nikon, and the Sony got a rest but then when I went back to it had forgotten all the little quirks and hiding places in the menus.

Mono might help the third one Steve but I think there's a bit of chromatic aberration which I doubt if it will disguise sufficiently. Haven't got the lens profile in LR yet. Is this a known problem with the 18-55? (anybody)

I've done the same sold 5D2 as thought its to heavy even though more than capable carrying it,
Then i missed it so sold my CSC and X series to fund getting Canon 5D3 with lenses :) lol

I'm going to stick with both now Canon gear and just getting Fuji gear, so far just have X-T10 18mm, 27mm and 35mm which feel like my bag is empty in comparison to the weight of just my 5D3 and 50mm art f1.4.

Lovely shot Allan....^


Just testing the water here, where's a good place to purchase a new X-T1..? Would a grey import be much cheaper/better value..?

Personally I'd go for a grey import or a Fuji refurbished (stock comes and goes) You just missed a couple of nearly new used ones in the classifieds here, due to two people jumping ship (they'll be back)
 
Can someone explain why the 23mm XF f/1.4 R costs £650 and the 35mm XF f/1.4 R costs £380?
More glass in the 23?

Both those macro images are simply STUNNING, love the clarity and contrast/colour! They'd look awesome printed large and displayed/hung on a wall. Respect Sir....!

I just have the 5D Mk1 which I appreciate isn't top tech but I've gotten some really nice stuff with it and the colour palette (like the Fuji) has always been nice. Full frame goodness too :)
Keep considering the 85mm 1.8 as a portrait option over the Fujis 56mm. It's certainly a cheaper option haha

Don't worry Dan, I am returning to Fuji X asap, it's the X-T1 I'm wanting, hopefully within the next few months or so I'll get sorted out with either a minty used one or new etc, I'm currently selling my Sigma Merrill's to help fund my 'Fuji future'. Love it.

Thanks;

Top stuff. Yeah I've seen a few X-T1s crop up on here recently so it's always worth keeping a look out

OK so I have some accessories on the way - a GGS glass screen protector (love these things) and I have purchased some slim Jacobs black ND4 filters (there's still loads on ebay for £3.00 or so). Tried two NDs stacked earlier and reduced the shutter speed by about 4 stops as expected. IQ looks fine but will try this out properly tomorrow :)

I need more accessories now!

You sound like a collector
 
I've just upgraded from a x-pro1 to a x-t1 and was wondering if it's worth changing my 50-230 for a 55-200. Would there be a noticeable increase in IQ?

Iain (Icee),

Changing from the X-Pro1 to the X-T1, have you noticed many advantages can you tell me please...? For the better...? Just curious.

Thanks;
Pete

Sorry for butting in, but I've recently bought an XT1 and have been using the X-pro1 for over a year now. Personally speaking I think the xt1 is a much nicer camera to use, the evf is something special. It's more dslr in feel, the control knobs mean I don't have to go in and out of the menus, I primarily shoot aperture priority and it's great to have the ISO selector. Don't get me wrong, I love my xp1, I was thinking of selling it, but to be honest I prefer the images it produces over the newer sensor,its hard to put into words. Also, as I prefer shooting with zoom lenses the ovf on the XP1 isn't ideal. Bottom line I love both the cameras, they're different but for me and with preference for zooms the XT1 edges it for ease of use. The X-pro1 is a nice camera, but it's takes a bit more time and deliberation to get the best from it.
I trawled through my aperture library recently and most of my favourite shots were taken with the X-pro 1, I have the same dilemma with my Canon gear, I prefer the look of my pictures taken with my 5DC over my 5D3 lol

Bought mine from refurb store. It's immaculate, didn't have the black in stock, so I paid the premium and bought the graphite edition.
