The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

On the slim possibility, you might need one in future, Lee 105mm landscape CPL's are quite cheap these days. I remember when those were £100+. I guess everyone has moved onto different filter systems these days so there are bargains to be had. I bought one for my 200mm and it works fantastically. Can't help you with ND's though. I just stop down for panning I must admit. Looking forward to seeing the results you get.

Thanks Graham, given the weather forecast I may not need to stop down much :D I'm looking forward to using it, AF seems quite snappy with the X-H2S, and I have a suitable monopod to give my shandy drinking southerner arms a rest.
 
People just tend to ask the wrong questions. AI is fantastic for computation, for data handling, collation, and filtering, pseudo-coding, anything fact based and not open to interpretation, but are terrible for anything that involves an opinion or missing data.

The way the companies present them as anthropomorphised agents doesn't help. People seem to treat them as some all knowing demi-god with the answer to life's philosophical questions, when in fact they are calculators on steroids, with a fancy language model in front designed specifically to hide the cold, calculating machine behind them by giving vague non-answers like a fairground medium.

If you can't give it a definite question (as in, a question that is completely defined with no ambiguity), you won't get a definite answer.

Ultimately, your output will be as precise as your inputs.

Garbage IN, garbage OUT ;)

I have one that I've been meaning to list in the classified for years...
 
I love the bit where she is asked "Does she like the Mustang?". And she answers "No". And the look from him, then she says "No I love it".
 
Quick trip to WEX this morning to bag an Optech Raincover, I think I'm going to get quite wet this weekend. Noticed that teh NP-235 battery is currently on a £20 off deal

If it was £20 off £49.95 then I might get excited. But the £69,95 is an outrageous starting point.

Actually considering the Hahnel NP-235 battery I have is good for only about 1700 shots (motorsport use) and the original Fuji gets over 5000 shots, I don't think its too bad. These are cheap compared to my Leica batteries!!!!!

That’s brilliant!

Wow, thanks for sharing, he's lived the dream hasn't he. I can't believe the access you could get back in those days, or that he's sat on those photos without doing anything with them. If I'd got some of them I think I could have hung my camera up and said job done so to speak.

I watch some of the Petrolicious stuff anyway. But yeah, the photography content of this was very unexpected and very cool. I thought others would enjoy it.
 
Re: XF200mm F2

Things I’ve learnt so far today

1) it’s heavy, just something I’m not used to!!
2) It’s very very sharp, probably sharpest XF lens I’ve used
3) My no name Chinese 4 stop filter is complete pants, softens every image, so that’s for the bin!!
4) Easier to pan with than I expected, possibly because I’m stood further back
5) Did I say that it’s heavy?

It’s been raining all day and still is! Lots of red flags

I've just looked the weight up on the Fuji website... it's nearly a kilo heavier than my 100-400!

I've learnt something about my lens as well:

I didn't know it did that with the IBIS.

Yeah, I knew that, 100-400 has stayed in car all day - don’t think it’s IBIS is class leading these day!!!!

But would you buy the 200mm f2.0 or stick with the 100-400?
