Oooh I hope that you dont give it up, I have always been very impressed by your images.

Great stuff. Thanks.

Hello jonbeeza, I hope you dont mind if I jump onto your thread.. Hello bumper may i ask if you have a typical X100V landscape image of yours to show us but also the same image but using your WC/TC adapters, ie three similar images, thanks for your help, hope im not asking too much. I have...

Thanks Cagey, Just been watching some reviews, yes the Viltrox 23 f1.4 seems excellent for the money, Viltrox 33 f1.4 doesnt seem to be available, maybe all sold out? Its certainly put a cat amongst my pigeons.

Thanks Dave, no im not buying the two, have recently bought XT30 refurb, one up on my sons XT20.

Many thanks all for your input re 35 f1.4 vs f2.0, am pretty sure now that it will be the f1.4, I like the idea of it being very usable wide open and the closer focusing will be usable for me. Regards Paul

Hello All, I am undecided between XF35 f1.4 & the f2.0 version, I am leaning towards the f1.4 but am surprised how few are available considering it does seem to get some flack compared to the f2.0 version of which there are a few more to pick from. The refurb store also seems to stock very few...

Thanks again soeren, Have just took a look and 55mm f/3.5 micro nikkor are sold as Pre Ai and Ai converted, This being all new to me, is one preferable. Thanks for help.

Thanks soeren, I think I shall get the tubes first. BTW if after receiving a lens from one of the main dealers you think that its not quite the thing you were after will they take it back for full refund, or perhaps would that leave a nasty taste for them.

Thanks Steve, What focusing distance do the tubes give you, and where do I get them.

Hello All, I am struggling to decide between these 3 lenses to be used for close up shots ( I collect old coins and would like to keep the images of some). XF16/2.8 XF23/2.0 XF35/2.0 The 16/2.8 has a close focus distance of 7", this would be an ideal distance for using with a table top...

I dont know why, but that just jumps out at me as a Wow shot.

Yes, certainly lovely shots, were they shot handheld.

Hello, its tilted and is in the shade a tad but its our first, yippee. Your welcome to Critique. _DSF0432blueiris2 by Paul Co, on Flickr

Great shot Hadron, may I ask which macro tubes did you use, there are various types and I am still very much in the learning curve. Thanks.
