You've stumbled upon a really good setup there. A great camera and a lens that punches well above it's weight. From here on in, it's not the camera, it's you! The Fabulous Fuji X thread in the Talk Equipment forum is a great place to go for advice should anything end up puzzling you.

Awful news! I always enjoyed his interaction in the 52 challenge section, and always wondered how I'd never managed to stumble across him on one of my forays up to Whipsnade. Sadly that will never be. Rest well fella!

I have one of these for my X-T3 (so it'll be the 'NP-W126S' equivalent). I must have had it in rotation for a year or so, and it's been fine. It lasts as long as the original, and the performance seems the same as it did when I first got it. I also have a Hahnel, and that's fine too.

I had a lens from then last year, and everything was fine. I'd never heard of them at the time, but having looked around it seems that while their online business might be fairly recent, the shop has been there sine the 1950s.

My X-T3 was draining the battery while switched off, this was around 18 months ago. Start to finish, the process was maybe 10 days. Including postage at either end.

Lovely shot! The central composition works well here. I hope it's all that photogenic, as we're off there in October!

Glad to see you back. Here's to a strong recovery!

Get well soon Dave!

Thanks! It was nice to be presented with an unusual scene. Cheers! Luckily it was quiet and we had the room to ourselves for a few minutes to experiment. Thank you! It's always nice to come across something that lets you be a bit creative. It was like having our own studio for a few minutes...

Week 52 - Showcase. Darkroom by Nick, on Flickr

Week 52 - Showcase. Probably my favourite shot of the year, and my favourite subject. Taken at the Gladiators Display in MARQ - Museo Arqueológico de Alicante. We found ourselves alone in a room full of Roman inspired projections, which reminded us of various 'theatre in the round' productions...

Honestly... you don't! I think there's a reason they stick to tried and tested pasta shapes. This stuff largely fell apart during the cooking process! :D

Week 51 - Anything Christmassy. Not Christmas Day 'Christmassy', but still, it has that holiday season flavour. Christmas Pasta by Nick, on Flickr

Thanks! Nope, luckily someone else saved me the effort. All the best to you and yours too. I hope everything went great.
