I have one on my GRiv, I like it more than I don’t. It’s horses for courses.

I had the viltrox when I had Sony as it was just too heavy for me, wrist issue. The 7artisans is 25% lighter and a fair bit cheaper. It arrived today, lovely piece of glass, when it cools down a little and I can get ootside, I’ll let you know more.

Ooops, fingers slipped… Just ordered the 7artisans AF 135mm f/1.8 MAX Full Frame, be here tomorrow

Question guys, I’m thinking of purchasing the XF 50-140mm f2.8, but I have heard and read that there is a lot of play when mounted to a Fuji body and that the autofocus is noisy. Is this the case on both counts, would you still advise on purchasing one today ?

Traded up the last of my Sony gear and purchased the X-T5, 56mm f1.2 WR and the Sigma 17-40mm f1.8 that will sit nicely alongside my X-E5 and the 23mm f2 & 70-300mm. Camera on charge and week off coming up.

Question guys and gals, I have the new Fuji 56mm f1.2 currently on my x-e5 but the balance isn’t great, I’m think of picking up either the xt-5 or the x-h2, which way would you go. Main use would be portraiture and some street. TIA

Hi Guys, QQ, For those with a GRiv, which lens hood if any do you have to help protect the lens from unwanted dust ? Just received mine yesterday. Cheers

QQ if I may guys, your advice is requested. My dream of owning a Leica someday is about to come true, yet for some reason I am hesitating. I have the opportunity to pick up a mint Leica Q2 Reporter for 4k. With trading a camera I can afford the Q2 now, but unsure if this opportunity would...

@bl0at3r Keep an eye on the classifieds over the weekend, will be putting my Silver x100vi up for sale. SC 100, Thumb Grip, weather sealing kit, plus a Freewell lens hood kit, plus Hoage square hood, plus grip.

Hi Guys, Does anyone use the Panasonic S1Rii ? If so, what are your views, Pros and Cons. Is it better, worse or comparable with the Nikon Z8 ? What would you choose and why ? TIA.

I have the GRiv monochrome on pre order and also am umming and arrrgggging over whether to pick up the GRiv too, but I’m seeing so many comments about them freezing up I’m hesitant too. Is it just a batch issue or should I be worried? Does the GRiii do the same?

I can second Andrew’s recommendation, as I also have the z8, 180-600mm fitted in the G3.

I need the GRiv Monochrome in my life…. Just placed preorder.

QQ to all the peeps out there that use the 180-600MM, that use the ROLNAPRO CAMO LENS PROTECTOR. How the hell do you fit the foot cover, I just cannot get it to fit round the strap lugs and fasten to the Velcro properly .

QQ, does anyone have the link to the Viltrox warranty website, so I can register my lens?
