Amazing thank you so much. I never even noticed that button and had to check the manual on where it was lol.
Dave you seem to be enjoying the 35F2 again, I'm still considering re-buying one, see one up locally for a good price, but then .... I still want the 50 .... I'm being more patient in my decision than usual this time out as I've bought a few too many lenses past year that I passed on after little time
Thanks Keith, it had been quite a while just sat in the bag so I thought I`d better start to use it again. I`m looking forward to using the 50mm soon as loved that for in close jazz shots.
Yeah, my pocket is saying 35, but my head says 50. Took a few outdoor shots earlier of my partner using the 16mm and she wasn't too fond of them, it's not a portrait lens at all - great for all else! [full length or group shots it's fine] But the 50mm would have been perfect for the more portrait style she was after
Get both
Ha, maybe! But tbh, when I had the 35 I also had a Canon 50mm 1.8 that I adapted to the H1, and the difference in FL wasn't enough for me to want to use both regularly. The Fuji 35 pretty much kicked the sheeet out of the Canon in terms of colour, contrast, sharpness [at F2 and above] and that's actually hat got me thinking on the 50mm. I think I prefer that FL, and if the Fuji 50mm is even slightly better than the 35 then I already know it's going to be very good indeed.

“Excellent” candid street style shot, pushes all the right buttons for me.
George.
I'm hoping Fuji do an Autumn cashback offer soon
Quite pleased with Jessops this morning. Took some stuff in to trade and the chap in the shop was decent enough to say that I’d under-graded my stuff and upped the trade in values. They’d already offered quite a bit more than others due to the 15% trade in bonus they had last weekend, the extra on the quote only made it better. Nice to see the customer being treated well.
So I’m now (nearly) Nikon-less, just two lenses to get shut of.
Additions to my Fuji family: 16-55 and 70-200.
Probably start Monday ‘cos I’ve bought those ^
There’s a 70-200 ??

@addicknchips there's a 16mm in classified [Fuji gear thread] for £530 atm
Cheers mate. Will need to shift something else first
Always the way .... just been looking at some of your images on Flickr by the way, some beautiful stuff. I'm not envious of your gear at all , at all ...
Quick pop down to Sheffield Park station (Bluebell Railway), and grabbed this snap of the guard hurrying peepe along ...
T2 with 56 @ f1.2

Very nice B&W tones in this one Paulie, great contrast. That 56 is another lens I'd love to try some time
