    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    The Sigma zooms look nice and compact, but I couldn't get past the lack of aperture ring, and the zoom being the opposite way around to Fuji lenses. The 16-50 looks like a good little lens, and will likely be my next purchase, as my son keeps borrowing my 18-55. I guess if you were pairing the...

    Beginner Canon EOS R7 + Canon 100-400mm or OM-1 Mark II + M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm II (or ED 100-400mm)

    I think either, would be good, or indeed the Sony option mentioned. Even as a Fuji fan I wouldn't go for a Fuji option at that budget. I believe that Canon (as well a Fuji) do free 48 hour loans of kit, because often spec sheets do not tell the full story and you need to get the camera in your...

    A7C zoom lens for an enthusiast

    I shoot Fuji (another option worth considering if you like the styling of the A7C), but the compromises are the same for all camera systems - you can have a “do it all” lens, it will be medium sized and you won’t need to change lenses, or you can have a few lenses - a wide lens (could be the...

    Me too, especially as my dad also drove an 850 estate.

    Android obsolescence?

    Aren’t they just saying that the latest AI features are only available on the latest hardware, kind of like how the latest iOS AI features are only available on certain processors?

    Buying advice

    I have bought older rugged compact cameras for my kids to use when they were little, they seemed to survive drops/bumps etc. It does look you can get new ones in budget - although I have no experience of this model.

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    I’ve been shooting Fuji for 8 years, and only just learned that the Q menu can be set to 4/8/12 icon mode. Now I have got my Q menus tidied up, and matched across bodies.

    Third time lucky - I finally have an L bracket that works with my X-H2s and Peak Design tripod head. It is a Sunwayfoto bracket. JLWin and Smallrig brackets coming to the classifieds section soon... Both brackets seem OK, but don't seem to play nicely with my main tripod.

    Challenge New Old Digital Challenge #39: Negative Space

    Hearsall Star by Lewis Craik, on Flickr Boxing Day 2024 - I remember slipping on ice on the walk home and banging my knee. Fortunately camera kit was OK! Shot on Fuji X-H2s and 18-55 kit lens - 1.4s @f7.1 ISO160.

    Mine is full, I assume by default because none of them are settings I would use. the one thing I have set up though is the ND filter on the EVF/OVF lever, that came in handy for pan shots on a sunny day.

    Challenge Nifty Fifty 2026 Chat Thread

    Argh. I got my photo challenges confused and ended up taking my "Energy" shot on my X100v, so not 50mm. 50mm would have been better too.

    Likewise, I have just taken the X100v on a few trips when travelling light. I'm doing a photo walk at the weekend, and even though it is a dedicated photography thing, I'll probably still just take the X100v.
