Great portrait antihero, nice and crisp! What are the details in regards to lighting? What triggers etc?

Antihero, what do you mean good for portraits if they stay still - is it really that bad for movement (one reason I got rid ofthe x100). Still keen on this or even an x pro, but as kids makeup most of my shooting it may not be the best move.
thanks Adam It was lit by a single Nikon SB24 speedlight at 1/4 power through a Phottix 60 inch Para-pro umbrella with diffuser. Triggered via Yongnuo RF602's.
Sounds good, are they the Nikon or Canon version? And do they work reliably? Seems hard to find a review for any triggers that work 100% with the x-e1!

I am in the same boat,so far not being able to part with my Nikon D700 yet as those I haven't use it for a long time.
Decision soon does it go or does it stay :shrug:
first impressions of the grip....love it!!! fits like a glove, adds a nice amount of weight to your hand and the build quality is excellent. Very impressed for £42!

I just sold mine. Keeping the glass though, at least for now - though I can't help wondering how much Fuji kit I could get if I sold it all
I have quite small hands so the x-e1 fits me pretty well but if I didn't then that grip looks like it would do the job very well. Looks a bit ugly but functionally looks great.
Ugly or not, the camera feels miles better now and makes tripod use super easy ... Substance over style
Well my XE-2 just come in going to pick it up today cakes all round
Nice!
Interested to know your thoughts.
Just had a little play indoor,new things i like bigger screen, comp dial doesn't get knocked so easily,AF seem very fast,but going out with it tomorrow to give it a good work out,will give an update after being out with it
Well after having a bit of a shoot,the EVF refresh is a lot better AF has improved I would say the XE-1 is a great camera,and the XE-2 has taken a lot of what made the XE-1 great and done some real improvements to make it better.
For me well worth the upgrade as its my take everywhere camera,you could also look at it as the same as the X100 to the X100s.
I would say go into a shop and give it a try see if the improvements, work as well for you as it did for me
ps if you got any other ? I will try and answer as best I can
Do you have the 35mm? Does that focus faster on the X-E2?

Much nicer than lugging the dSLR around
Can anyone suggest a make of adaptor for Canon FD mount to Fuji X ?
I use this one, £10.44 from Amazon. Seems pretty solid and well made but I'm a little unsure of the action of the on-off ring; it closes the aperture so you can focus wide open and then quickly shut down to the taking aperture but it doesn't like to go very far beyond f/11 on my FD lenses. That said, it hasn't been an issue for me in practice.
I actually bought a bunch of these at the same time (M42, OM, Nikon F & FD) so I really should do a comparison shoot with some 50mm lenses.
Exactly what I thought (well, 'get half the cost back on ebay if they're rubbish' is closer to what I thought). I was pretty impressed with the OM and M42 adapters, it's the on-off ring that's confusing but it's necessary due to the way the mount works.Thanks Dean, I have actually bought one of those (not delivered yet) I figured at that sort of money I can throw it away if it's no good.
