I miss my Motorola RAZR :) EDIT, because I didn't want to derail the thread. I won't be getting one Neil; I loved my flip phones back in the day (RAZR and KRZR), but the new foldables just don't do it for me. I think the main thing I miss is being able to flip them shut to end a call, and you...

Add others have said, this thread is making me want to get my fisheye out. It's an 8mm F/2 TTArtisan I think... quite good fun :)

I was wondering about this today myself actually; my X100VI has a built-in ND filter and I haven't yet looked into how it actually works. I don't believe your grads will be obsolete as the digital NDs are uniform across the frame; and there are no digital polarisers so you'll still need them.

I had to go into Chelmsford this afternoon to buy a suit. Thought it was the ideal time to give the X100 a run out - especially as it fits in my jacket pocket!

The X100VI has arrived, big shoutout to @imattersuk for an excellent transaction. I'm off to Newcastle for work on Monday, so that works out quite nicely :)

So I've still got the X-E5... APC were supposed to pick it up yesterday but they didn't; Fuji are looking into it but it looks like I might have to drop it at the APC depot tomorrow... which is the same day I'm hoping my X100VI will arrive... it's a very exciting time in the Mountain household! :D

Don't forget the returnable safety deposit!

Must be the Dorset Downs :)

I'm in for glass. Was torn between the shot I've entered and this one: What settled it for me was realising that I've left the battery box slightly visible behind the bottle... that's what comes of rushing to do a shot while I'm supposed to be working! :D

I've decided that this is the better of the two shots I took for this theme. Fuji X-T4 and XF 35mm F/1.4. 17 second exposure, F/8, ISO 160.

I’ve always said that everything happens for a reason :)

Looks like I’m not after an X-Pro3 any more… :D

I've been really busy today but tomorrow I'm planning to take a few shots in daylight with the same ISO and settings, to make a direct comparison. As I said in the original post though, I'd be happy with either of those shots (although looking at them together, you can see that the 18mm has...

Just the rendering of the lens, the only setting I changed was the ISO to compensate for the slower aperture.

Finally, here's another one with the 23mm F/2.8: Next I'm going to try the 23mm out on my T4 in daylight and see how I get on with it. Initial thought though is that I prefer the 18mm (and again, I remember saying when I had the X100VI that there were times when it felt like 23mm was a bit...
