The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I'll have to find some photos for this thread. I've a few things I've started working on, but I've actually been using the Sony a bit more because sunrise is now a nicer time of the morning and I've been out in the Escort a bit more (which the f doesn't really give me the focal length for)....

We are down along the Minehead area coastline for a few days next week though.

Like the look of this, would certainly save some weight over theh Fuji 50-140, and rare for SIgma X-mount lenses it has an aperture ring :)

Will definitely be watching/reading reviews with interest.

Me too, especially if it's a good bit lighter - my 50-140 doesn't get much use because it's just too heavy to lug around for general use..
 
Couple of observations recently, having had a Q3 and an X100VI sitting side by side the build quality of the Fuji is right up there, personally I see no difference and the X100 is prettier. It's certainly a case of diminishing returns. If they bring out an RF II with IBIS the Q3 would be harder to justify.

I’d agree that the build of the X100VI is good, personally though I think that Q3 is better, some of that is down to the battery design which is well thought out, and the Q3 memory card flap is much more robust than its Japanese competitors. Both are built better than the RF, that’s the way it feels.

X-T build peaked with the X-T3 (IMO)

Definitely agree with that comment.
The XT4 and XT5 may have better functionality and battery life but do not feel as solid. My only criticism is the on/off switch and shutter release feel cheap compared to the rest of the body. The XH series of cameras have a better release and switch.

I thought the Q3 felt more solid too. The X100VI had very good build quality but I wouldn’t say it’s great. The dials have a slightly sharp edge to them, the door for the ports feels a bit cheap, as does the joystick. I’m nit picking of course, but these things aren’t cheap. The A1 II on the other hand feels like a very solid piece of kit all round, even the multi angle screen. I thought that might feel a bit cheap with it being plastic but it doesn’t imo.
 
I've been using X Raw studio for several months now but all of a sudden it just crashes most of the time so I can't use it. Sometimes if I perservere long enough by keep opening it every time it crashes I can eventually get it to process an image but today I can't even open a folder without it crashing. I've not updated anything so I don't understand what's causing it.

I'm using Mac OS Tahoe 26.5.1. I can't find anything online about compatiability issues, and the fact it's been working up until recently would suggest there aren't any. I've tried opening the app using Rosetta but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know what the issue could be and how to fix it please?

EDIT: I think I've figured it out, it's creashing when I open folders that also have some of my Sony raw files in it.
