    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    After resisting since pre-orders started for the x100vi I've finally put a deposit down. My procrastination has gained me nothing but an exponentially longer wait for me to spend wishing I'd ordered the silver instead of the black!

    It's an interesting one for me. I see people with distinctive editing styles which I like, but when I try similar myself and I see the image changing away from what I remember and the edit starting point my brain rebels and tells me it's wrong. That said, his editing to remove distractions from...

    It was the DG DN. I say “was” as I sold it this week. It’s incredibly sharp from wide open and I’ve taken some of my favourite ever pictures with it. That said, I’d not used it for months. If I had the time to shoot portraits it would have been welded to my camera. I’m feeling a little sad about...

    Thanks Alan. I've found a place with an SE in stock. As you say, they're pretty rare to find new so I'll pounce tonight.

    By grip do you mean a battery grip with secondary controls for portrait shooting, or just the grip extenders from Wepoto/Smallrig etc? if it's the latter, I can confirm it makes a big difference when I use my A7Riv with the 24-70GM and Sigma 85 1.4.

    Thanks, Lee. The GM is a real tempter but I'd still keep the Sigma for a light walk around and they'd seem too similar to justify. Finger poised over the buy button for the Voigt' SE!

    I think I'm going to treat myself to a Voigtlander 40mm 1.2. I'm currently deciding between the 'standard' and the SE. The inability to de-click the aperture ring doesn't bother me and there's a large weight saving to be had. Are there any downsides to the SE? @LeeRatters you seem to tend more...

    Experience Acquisition Syndrome should be celebrated! Hope you enjoy it, Croatia is really high on my to do list.

    As someone trying to avoid well-priced excuses to jump back into Fujifilm, this is most unwelcome! Especially is it's mostly just for the 35mm 1.4. Must....resist....until....x-pro 4!

    View: https://flic.kr/p/2o4TLpy Some bonkers light this afternoon in New Brighton minutes before some fairly biblical hail. First time out with the new 20-70 GM ii, and have to say I'm pleased with it so far.

    Having just bought my 24-70 this definitely takes some of the happiness away.

    Thank you for the thorough reply Rob. Right now I'm still deciding on whether to go with the 70-200 or the 100-400 so I don't have one to check against. It's a good call for reaching out to Kase though, I'll give them a shout.

    I hadn't thought of that, but I suppose only an issue with the long lens as it's unavoidable with the wide-angle if stacking.

    Evening all. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice regarding Kase magnetic filter sets, and in particular the sizing. It's my understanding that you only need to size up for wide-angle lenses to prevent vignetting when stacking them so if my lenses were as follows.... Sony FE 16-35mm f4 G...

    I've just traded in my 24-105...for the second time. It should be perfect for me on paper, but I just don't click with it. I currently have my finger hovering over the buy button for a 24-70 GM II from Panamoz but cor blummy it's still pricey, and will leave me hankering for something longer to...
