Black

 

[wyx087]

Black for use with zoom lenses.

Silver with a small prime for that classic range finder feel.

 

[disco41]

Tbh it's the silver that's attracted me to fuji in the first place, I'll only be using the primes anyway.

 

[disco41]

Oh & the kit lens 18-55.

 

[pete 1]

Best kit lens out there, shouldn't be called a kit lens really

 

[minnnt]

Is this a trick question? Silver. Obvs.

 

[disco41]

I know I wasn't sure about it but then read reviews saw the price then thought gotta be good deal for the extra £200.

 

[dlh]

I'd like to give macro a go. Has anyone used non Fuji extension tubes with the 18-55 or 55-200. Any recommendations?

Thanks

 

[dlh]

And black

Another vote for black.

Silver, clearly, if you want to be proper hipster. You WILL need a brown leather strap to complete the look though. And a shutter release. Don't forget the retro case and mark 1 Ford Cortina either

 

[minnnt]

It has to be a gariz case btw.

[disco41]

Oh that's nice.

I forgot the half case! Quite right, a Gariz is a must.

 

[disco41]

So obviously a second or third battery is a must is fuji the best one or maybe a third party?

Pleased with my two spare Hahnel HL-F126 Batteries from Jessops

 

[pete 1]

They look very nice but expensive just for a case, I prefer the L plate serves more uses and gives you a bigger grip

I've now had two Fuji original NP-95 batteries for my X100 die on me - one of which swelled up so it no longer even fits in the camera! I'll be going third party next time...

Never had a problem with third party batteries. Just as good imo

 

[disco41]

The hahnel ones are £29 instead of £49 for Fuji ones no brainer really

Ex-Pro batteries are the law as are Larmor screen protectors.

So, lets recap...

· Silver body
· 18mm f2 prime because it's the biz
· Gariz case (a kitten dies everytime you buy a different case)
· Ex-Pro batteries
· Larmor screen protector (again, a kitten gets it if you buy other lesser brands)
· Beard

 

[disco41]

Agree with all above apart from the beard bit mine grows ginger n grey!

 

[minnnt]

Ginger beards are the best!

Who's that dodgy looking bloke photo bombing that poor family.

 

[minnnt]

Just some bloke with a ginger beard. Did think he was a bit of a wierdo.

Mine used to be ginger but is now almost entirely grey

Me to a tee, well minus the screen protector, and the beards not ginger

How about a Domke of your choice?

minus the screen protector

Can hear the kittens scattering as we speak.

 

[disco41]

Here's a curve ball, neck strap or wrist strap?

The OEM Fuji X series bag is pretty cool. Comes in 1970s sick colour only, love it
