    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    LRCX7444 by Lewis Craik, on Flickr I don't often take my X-H2s and 50-140mm out on a bike ride, but the organisers of my local downhill race asked me to take some photos, so after I'd done a couple of race runs I rode back up with my camera and took some photos. I particularly liked this one of...

    On Tripods

    You didn't mention budget... the Peak Design tripod folds down really small - about the same size as two cans of beer stacked on top of each other. I haven't been keeping an eye on the market recently, but I expect that there are some other brands copying in now too.

    My lads were competing in the cycle speedway national championships at the weekend, so had to get some Union Jack type photos. LRCX5662 by Lewis Craik, on Flickr LRCX5213 by Lewis Craik, on Flickr You could always replace with the same... The direct replacement would be the 16-50, which is...

    Sensor is the same size, just higher resolution ;) Personally, I think 40MP is too many, especially on a cropped sensor. I think 24/26MP is the sweet spot - but that doesn't sell new bodies.

    I want a L series lens, or do I?

    I also found it disappointing on full frame.

    I want a L series lens, or do I?

    No, I don't think you do. I used to like the 24-105f4L, when I shot full frame. On a cropped sensor, I liked the 17-40f4L, but if you are feeling the there is a gap between your existing lenses, I don't feel like that is the lens for you. It maybe worth looking at the 55-250 Canon lens if the...

    Lightroom freezing and crashing?

    Can't say I've had any issues, but maybe easier to narrow down help if you state which version of Lightroom and which operating system you are using.

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    I've not had much chance for photography recently, with work, a renovation project and two boys to entertain. But I did like this shot from when the boys were racing the cycle speedway nationals - rider isn't one of mine, but he did with his age category, and this was in the final. I always feel...

    This is what I ended up doing when I started looking for a "cheap" Fuji camera for my son, I bought myself an X-H2s and let him use the X-T2.

    Advice on buying a standalone camera

    If possible I would try to go a generation newer with Fuji - the X-T2/X-T20 generation cameras are still good, but the X-T3/X-T30 that replaced them are easier to live with, they have better connectivity and autofocus.

    Is Nikon or Sony any better?

    I think all the camera companies are much the same - they all have slight pros and cons, but any new kit is going to be good. Having said that, I always try to buy from my local camera shop (LCE in my case) - you can see things before buying and know if the box has been opened etc.

    Beginner Purchase of a travel photography tripod - advices required

    The Neewer tripod looks very much "inspired by" by the Peak Design tripod that I use. If compactness when folded is a priority it should be a good shout.
