Update on the XT1 peeling grip return.

Well got an update this morning and they initially said it was out of warranty, so a £140 bill. Called the support centre who apologised and said it was an admin error, flagged it as in warranty and cleared the fund request :)

So minor mistake aside looking good.

Great result [emoji1]

Just had a look and appears slightly better than last winters offers, for example 10-24mm was £80 last time, this year its £95.

Yes but haven't the prices gone up this month?
Black Friday is where the real savings can be made.... :D

When I had the Canon 70-200mm f4 IS L that weight never bothered me, just seen the Fuji 16-55mm f2.8 WR is lighter, so I am now stumped what to get :eek: As I was going to get the 35mm f2. £145 cashback on the Fuji.

Dave, in Fuji terms its a weighty beast and won't balance well on your X-T20, but will be fine on your X-T2, its a great lens but perhaps not quite as sharp as you would expect, there is at least one forum member who prefers his 18-55 lens to the 16-55. It also has no IS, so with that extra weight you may be reaching for higher ISO's to keep the shutter speed up - but it is constant F2.8 and has WR which the 18-55 does not.

Made a mistake ooops, it is the 56mm f 1.2 XF only 405g
 
Just ignore the cashback deals, buy the lens that you want, if you get cashback that's a bonus!

Tis true, but saying that.....

Blimey, just seen the 10-24mm is now a quid shy of 900, has got £95 cashback though.

One on Amazon for 759 which should also qualify for cashback as its from them direct, if you want one snap it up now for the bargain final price of 664 quid

I can see that I am jumping, but like you said ignore the cashback deals and get the lens I want. So I am going to stick with my first choice, which is the 35mm f2 as it is the lens I really do want to add to my X-T2.

Nothing to do with me, but there is one in the classifieds that looks a decent deal
Nearly bought it myself this morning until I did a search and realized I hardly take anything at that focal length

Even better just turned out all my lenses to put in a new bag I bought this morning and found I had a 35mm f1.4,
Forgot all about it, no wonder I haven't got anything much at that specific distance, might give it a go tomorrow

For some reason the oblong hood from it was stuck on the 60mm, can't recall doing that either, shot to bits!!

I had one of those. Also found I never used it. Sold it and haven't missed it.
I'm talking about the lens: not that orange bag of yours.

Hey @tijuana taxi
You xxxxx!
Just because I looked at your amazon link my cookies have picked it up, and every website I visit has the orange monstrosity spread across the top of it.
I'll get you back.

Might bring it to the Sheffield meet, even nicer in real life

Ha, great work! My 35/1.4 is my second most used lens :)
 
A few taken today. Poor light but quite happy with them. been years since I picked up a camera so felt quite nervous lol. Waterfall was the first attempt at that kind of shot. All jpg straight out of the camera and no editing, apart from my daughter and I think a slight sharpen of the blue flower.

Double check approved suppliers on cash back as Amazon don’t always qualify as they often supply non-UK lenses.

Yup, that's how it is! And yes, the lamp posts are that squiffy as well, as are some of the buildings.

Cheers! To make things worse, the shoreline looks as though it ought to be horizontal, but it's actually at an angle (or two!). I generally go for trying to get the most prominent things roughly upright, and leave the rest to fend for themselves :)
