Those are both higher ISO you could have got away with 1/1000th and ISO200 there, which would have helped.
Buy it.Have I just got really lucky, or is this like those credit card "Congratulations! We've pre-appoved you for blahblah..."?
Annoyingly, my car has just gone pop, so not sure I can afford this, much less a trip to London to pick it up!

I'll look at limiting the max ISO in my presets thenThose are both higher ISO you could have got away with 1/1000th and ISO200 there, which would have helped.
This is an example from today - [

- and is at 1/4000; still seems a bit fuzzy round the hard edges. But really it's probably fine and I'm nitpicking. This is not at the full 55mm though.
Yes, F4
It doesn't help that I'm on a forum of people with a lot more experience than me! But I'm seeing pics on the same or older sensors than the X-T20 which seem sharper to me; so I feel like I'm doing it wrong
I’ve never, ever been accused of overthinking things before…I think you mioght be overthinking this - as @Craikeybaby says, get the ISO lower (base 200) when you can as that will improve the noise handling and the dynamic range.
Higher resolution sensors are inherently sharper, but lower resolution sensors are perfectly capable of producing great results (and 24MP is not low!), I don't think there is anything untoward with your kit.
Also this forum has a habit of making some images look soft and others look sharp, it seems quite fussy, and often stuff is sharper on flickr than here. Don't fall into that trap.
Also are you post processing the images or just taking the JPG settings with whatever custom profile you have set up? There is probably mnore to come from post processing the RAW images than the in-camera JPGs, not the the JPGs are bad but you can often do better, as post processing allows you to tune an individual image rathert than apply a fixed set of adjustments.
I read that there was quite a bit of sample variance with the 16-80, but I bought mine used from MPB & I'm very pleased with it.First time out the house with the 16-80 I recently picked up for my X-Pro2. First impressions are pretty favourable. It seems there’s some variation in how good this lens is, mine seems quite reasonable to my untechnical eye.

Buy it.
Sell it.
Buy a standard model.
Fix the car.
Repay the train fare.
Keep the change.

As I said a few posts ago, it was the only lens I took to Chicago last year.

Oof. That skyline shot is bonkers!
Fuji are trying to put a stop to that: https://www.fujirumors.com/warranti...i-limited-edition-are-non-transferable-in-uk/
Yeah, I think it is to deter people from buying from scalpers, rather than the normal secondhand trades.
Fair play to Fuji for doing what they can but I always thought any Fuji warranty is non transferable anyhow?Fuji are trying to put a stop to that: https://www.fujirumors.com/warranti...i-limited-edition-are-non-transferable-in-uk/
@Jelster Steve. I always shot this way for this scenario. The X-T5 has great subject detection. Manual setting 1/500th or to taste, lens usually f2-2.8. AF-C. Auto ISO.

Not shutter priority mate. ManualWhat, take it out of Aperture priority? Heresy!!
I haven't shot on shutter priority in years, maybe I should give it a try. Won't be seeing him again for a couple of weeks, so will keep that as a plan...
Will play with that over the next couple of weeks. The T5 is the first camera I've ever relied on for auto ISO. Used it while birding last week and it proved better than expected,Not shutter priority mate. Manual

My understanding was that lens firmware was stored on the lens, but it should be easy to check. My new camera is also being delivered today...
I'll be making great use of this on holiday on Mull this May
All shot with original X100
Longer lens would have been great for the Puffins, as you can get fairly close.
Is the X100VI the only camera with an OVF from the current Fuji lineup?
Is it? I thought it was discontinued.X-Pro3 is still “current”?

Haha, I don't have that one because I never took a taxi to Haneda. I always took the Monorail or the bus (on the way back).
@jimmyjamjojo are you going to go back? Now that you've been, I suspect some of the places you don't need to revisit anymore and thus can save some cost, like not needing to pay to go up Mori Tower again etc.
I found my 2nd trip much cheaper, like I spent half as much.
