Can you sort out brexit next, thanksSo Fujiholics - I've just had an accidental NY purchase to add to my burgeoning Fuji collection. Curry's currently have £100 off (until tomorrow) on Camera's over £1k. And they have a further bundle deal for 20% off if bought with a bundled lens. So, an X-Pro2 body only is currently £1349, but with the £100 off, it's £1249 - good, but not exceptional. However, if you scroll down the page, you can buy it with the 35mm 1.4 for a combined price of £1436. But then you can apply the £100 off code IMAGING100, making it a pretty amazing £1336 for an X-Pro2 and 35mm 1.4 (that lens is £429 on the site separately). And then it's still eligible for the £100 Fuji cashback, making it £1236 for camera and lens together. Seems like a deal to me. My only dilemma is with the missus - I kind of talked her into needing a Fuji compatible with my X-T2 and lenses for travel and the like. And she agreed.
Someone further in the thread mentioned double cashback has been extended. Not sure if it's still available.
I think you've missed the additional £40 lens cashback ?I think that's over now - I did look to see if I could buy the combo when it was on, but it wasn't available then. I think Curry's have screwed up actually - they are applying the 20% to the whole cost, as opposed to the lens only. The same combo is available at Calumet for £1748.20 including the 20% off the 35mm 1.4 And they haven't got the additional £100 retailer discount either.
I can't actually decide if I want the Pro2 as well as the X-T2, but I do love a bargain
I think you've missed the additional £40 lens cashback ?
Fuji have £40 cashback on the lens at the moment too ?How do you mean? you can only claim one discount code with Curry's at any one time. £100 being the better one to claim, or did you mean something else?

Thanks George! And yes, when I shoot these, it's always in the Mono/R mode so that what it is in the viewfinder will work in mono. Then later on I decide whether to keep the colour in the RAW or not. In the case, I felt the contrast between the yellow foreground and blue background helped the shot read a bit more easily. Other times the WB issues just can't be resolved, or the shot simply looks stronger in mono....Great shot Sir, and very well caught. Would probably work pretty well in mono.
George.
@dave.hallett at the minute Ive got next Saturday morning free if your at a loose end and fancy a meet up in Oxford?

XT2 users - has anyone else noticed a white bar appearing in the evf when the shutter is released? I've seen it a good few times over christmas. It's a fully white bar, about 10-20% of the width of short viewfinder axis and is located off centre of this axis and extends across the whole of the long axis. It has happened with the 56, 18-135 and 55-200 so it's not lens related. The grip is on and performance mode selected. Various metering and drive modes. If it's a firmware bug that other people have seen then I'm happy to wait for a fix but if it's hardware I'd like to get it sorted in a gap between needing the camera for travel/family events.
I have one, just posted in the classifieds, cheers.Anyone looking to sell their minty XF18-55mm lens please let me know.

I'm using my old Ex Pro and Hahnel from my XT-1 in the 2 with no issues.Hi, may now be swapping X-T1 for a 2. I'm a bit out of touch, did the question over whether X-T1 batteries can be used in an X-T2 get resolved?
I moved due to improved AF on moving subjects as I have a fast dog !!! I also intend to do motorsport with it this year. The XT-1 is still a lovely tool but the XT-2 is so much faster all round and the joystick for moving the focus point is great. Is it worth the extra ? Probably not for most people, to be honest it's a bit of an indulgence for me, made tracking easier otherwise I see no major difference as i'm not a pixel peeper.Those X-T1 shooters who've now moved to the X-T2 do you think it's been worth the upgrade ? Love to hear your thoughts please....
I'm toying with the idea of moving to the X-T2 (?)
Regards;
Peter
Depends on why you're thinking of moving. For me, I value the joystick and the reduction in shutter lag. There is an IQ improvement, but in my mind high-ISO noise is slightly worse, or at least different. It's touch and go if I'd do it again given hindsight, but I'm happy enough to keep the 2.Those X-T1 shooters who've now moved to the X-T2 do you think it's been worth the upgrade ? Love to hear your thoughts please....

Love it! Especially the reflection, which gives you an expected context...
Well I know you were already looking, but you won't regret it! It's a very handy piece of kit, especially at the wide end.Dave;
Your images/inspiration has just made me purchase a new XF18-55mm.....!
Cheers
Superb, it has a bit of everything
