I bought an xe1 to go alongside my SLR. I eventually sold the xe1. This was mainly because IQ was better on the SLR which was partly because I had better lenses for my SLR so the Fuji tended to stay at home. However, I do often think the A7R2 with top lenses would be unbeatable! But I just wish...

Eneloops for me too.

On a separate note, I emailed them via their site to get a valuation before xmas, called to get a valuation after xmas but was told I had to do so via the website. Tried again and almost two weeks later I've heard nothing!!

I just bought one as our 3 month subscription is coming to an end. Pretty good deal for 6 months.

This is where knowing your lenses is important to get the most out of them. Do some tests to work out its sweet spot and for example if that's 30-90mm on the 24-105 then shoot accordingly knowing ou have that extra width or length if you need it.

Well put. With the advances in sensor technology having a wide aperture for low light has also become less of an issue since you can ramp the iso up and not cause much loss in IQ. Of course there is nothing which can replace that look you get when shooting wide open at 1.2/1.4.

I had the 24-105 and found it quite soft at the long end. Maybe I had a bad copy. I then moved into primes only for the next 10 years and was only tempted back to zooms by the 16-35. This has now more or less replaced my 24L. I just sushi could afford to keep both. The 16-35 is not a low light...

Someone I work with had a parcel left in their recycle bin, on recycle day. You know the rest..... Amazon are generally great and I can't fault them. They along with many other retailers are let down by poor couriers. Corners are clearly cut in order to keep their prices low.

I have a 48" 4K TV. It's the perfect size for our room but at 48". I think you really need a larger TV to fully appreciate it but having said that 4K on a 48" is still stunning. I've some content on a media drive that I bought but other than that I have no access to any other 4K material. As...

I was bought one of these for xmas. I still haven't quite worked out how it works. However, I can't believe a box that can be brought from Amazon has apps which allow you to watch the latest films that are still in the cinema. It's not as if you need to hack it. That said almost nothing I...

I had a similar thing happen to me. Two iPads signed for by the my Hermes courier in my name, which was impossible as we were all out for the whole day! We got a replacement but it left a sour taste as they said on this occasion they would replace me them but it wouldn't happen again!!

I have the 16-35 F4 and it's brilliant. In fact it has completely replaced my 24L which now never gets usedsi i have decided to sell it.

There definitely seems to be a shift in quality of zooms compared to 5+ years ago. IQ has certainly moved forward a few steps. I'd imagine primes are becoming less popular? Of course a zoom can't replace that isolation a prime offers. I've certainly had a shift it the way I use my lenses.

Having briefly tried to original I know what you mean about it being a little soft. I've not used the new version but by all accounts it's sharp at all mm's

Let's hope it's unlimited use......
