The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

As my 14mm has now fallen out of use with the acquisition of the 10-24mm, it's up for grabs in the classifieds.

Wouldn't be in a rush to part with it if you still intend to do IR photography

That was primarily why I was hanging on to it, but I think I might get a Samyang 12mm again if I finally get round to having the other T1 converted for the extra width.

Are you sure??

From http://www.barbano.com/2016/08/infrared-fujifilm-x-pro-1/

I tested on the IR camera the 18mm and really is not usable for the center hotspot, the 14mm and it is absolutely perfect, the Samyang 12mm f 2.0 and is not usable at all. I played also with an old Pentax 50mm 1.4 that is working well and the Hasselblad 80mm that is perfect

And here with images http://www.fujix-forum.com/threads/rokinon-samyang-12mm-f-2-ncs-cs-infrared.51520/

Personally I'd stick with the 14mm as it is unquestionably brilliant with IR
 
Good afternoon,

First post in this forum.

I recently p/ex'd my X-E1 for an XT-10 (inevitably just before I became aware of the arrival of the XT-20). My intention is to use it as my travel camera, along with the 18-55 I retained from the X-E1 and a newly acquired 10-24, although I find that recently I've been taking it with me on our longer walks, in preference to my D800 (which I love, but it is somewhat on the cumbersome side). And just to prove that I do, most of the time, use it as well as carry it here is a grab shot with the 10-24 from a recent walk around Streatley and the Ridgeway.

I look forward to a long association with this camera (unless I succumb to the XT-20) and this forum.

Some nice light in that capture.

That's nice Sir, with good comp', and well controlled exposure.(y)

George.
 
I've virtually talked myself into the X-T1 as an upgrade to my X-E1, the focus system alone should be a big upgrade.
As a final decider, the X-T1 with the XF 18-135 on the refurb site, does it come with the lens hood? It's not shown in the photo's?
Thanks

Yeah it should, my 18-135mm was a Fuji refurb and it came complete. It's a great lens, my favourite travel lens.

Plenty of photos on the net prove otherwise. Hotpsotting is partly filter dependant anyway, so I'm happy to cross that bridge when I get there. Right now cash in the bank is more useful than a lens gathering dust. I'll still have the 18-135mm as an IR mainstay lens.

Very nice Graham! Is this with an ND filter? I can't see how else the exposure could have run to 27 seconds, but the clouds seem to match that time.

Yes Dave it was as far as I can remember it was a 6 stop and a polariser. The lake was very rough and while Im not a great fan of milky water I did want it smoothed out some.

But of course. I've been working on so many icy pictures lately, I simply assumed the foreground water was frozen! Duh :)
 
Oh I think I want a 10-24mm :eek: Off to Cuba next week, supremely tempted to hire one. Bought my XT10 and 35/f2 recently, still getting to grips with it. The alternative cheap option someone suggested was a Samyang 12mm but I can't find it anywhere.
 
Also, I'm having trouble importing the raw files into Lightroom, what do I need to update? I updated Lightroom (apologies I'm at work and can't remember what version to) and Camera RAW. Have I missed something obvious? Thanks.

I agree with Jim. Numbers 2 and 3 are corkers and number 2 in particular would be a stunning long exposure IMO.

Not sure it is stunning, but I had a go at a fake long exposure:

This takes the average of six identical shots so as the only thing moving is the water it smoothes that out. I also gave the water a dose of negative dehaze, negative clarity and negative sharpness in Lr plus some exposure adjustments. Not perfect but better than the original version. And I can always go back and do a proper long-exposure now I know it looks decent.
 
Just a simple candid street style Fujigraph taken at Canterbury Kent UK of a child dancing with someone who was dressed as a bear and collecting for charity.

Great depth of texture, if that makes sense.
 
My black X-T1 arrived today with the 18-135mm.

Tried the 18-135mm out, sharp from wide open at all focal lengths (certainly in the majority of the frame). It doesn't feel too big or heavy, but I thought the zoom function was faulty at first as I could only zoom to 100mm with one of my normal twists...purely because I'm not used to rotating a lens zoom ring so far! 18-135mm is an incredible range :eek:

Then I saw the black X-T1 and thought it looked beautiful. Oh no.

I love mine. One with the XT-2 and the 10-24
