I was looking at a Neewer TL60 a while ago for a backlight/rim light. Any reason to not purchase them? Ideally I’d be able to get something second hand off someone who is recovering from Gear Acquisition Syndrome :) Alternatively, anything else I should consider? I already have a decent key...

Honestly, a lot of the Fuji photos I see are a bit more about emulating that 80s-90s film camera look. The “out of focusness” of them seems almost intentional at this point. They seem fine for the portraits I take, but landscapes seem a bit fuzzy if that makes sense. Never tried checking edge to...

I use an X-T50 as my “holiday snaps” camera. So far it’s never missed a beat. I love the recipes and the option to take video too. I’ve added a CPL for the shots I need to take when I’ve inevitably overslept the sunrise.

What recipe are you using for these?

Had a similar experience trying to get a Fuji off them. Turned out to not be too far off the cost for UK retail so I gave it a miss. Some of the DSLRs they have cracking deals on though! Still waiting for my most recent order. I think they quote 7-14 working days? Fingers crossed it gets here soon.

TBH, if focus absolutely mattered then I’d not pick a Fuji. For shooting sport or fast moving subjects then I’d always go to my Canon DSLR.

Is the Neewer stuff that bad? I agree with the point about poor quality modifiers. I recently got back into indoor photography and the new stuff I’m buy8ng now is cheap and cheerful. However, the good stuff I had acres to several years ago was built a lot better.

Got a Fuji as a “casual” camera. Absolutely loving it so far. Any resources for recipe customisation?

I use Squarespace, but I've been with them for less than a year. I know someone who's used them for several years and reports no problems. You could use Google for domain names if you'd rather.
