The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

First time I've tried my X-T1 in continuous auto focus today and it refuses to lock onto anything it get close but then hunts backwards and forwards. Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this something actually moving, or static?
 
Anything. Even on static things, tree stumps for example. It goes from being in focus to out of focus in rapid succession, never locks onto anything.
I think the issue is that it 'looks' for movement so on a static subject it will hunt in and out.

Try it on a properly moving subject. I used it on my son going down a slide and granted it missed a good few but nailed others (probably 50/50). With practice I'm sure that'd rise too.
 
Try taking the shot, usually it locks on fine even if it's been hunting a bit
 
Quick test on my 55-200 to shoot random stuff in my garden. Very impress with the lens, specially the OIS when extended to 200mm handheld.

It's weird that way! It appears to hunt constantly but almost always nails the focus when you press the button.

Yep it does seem to hit focus ok. I've had cameras from all the major manufacturers and used them all in continuous focus, this us the first body I've had that does this. Was a bit worrying when I first saw it but at least I know now that it's doing what it's supposed to do. Thanks for the replies.

The main reason I let my first X-T1 go.

This is just how it works, when you take the shot it usually comes out fine. On the X-T2 it no longer does this so works in a more conventional manner. The X-T2 does get a lock a bit faster, but beyond that I don't really get any more keepers than I do with the X-T1.
 
Been busy-ish lately so not been on much, but have been using my XT-1 a fair bit. Most recently at the 4/20 peaceful demonstration at the garden of remembrance in Dublin City

Great lens, wish I hadn't sold mine tbh. Will get a good used copy at some point when funds allow.
 
Lovely, I'm a big fan of the film simulations,
So when are you getting the Sony A9? ;)
I'm looking forward to the Pro Fuji XT body :D lol

Cheers mate.

A9 is out of my budget. For me, really the only thing the xt2 lacks is the hss options that Sony, canon, Nikon have.
What are u missing in the t2 that you think you will need he new pro body for?

I'm slowly creeping up to add more lens but I must resist for now.

Currently:

Fuji XT1
Fuji 18mm f2
Fuji 35mm f2
Fuji 56mm f1.2
Fuji 55-200 3.5-4.8


That's already a very nice Fooj setup Sir. (y)

Yeah, i properly won't add anymore because those are the focal length i will use. Will mainly use the 3 prime. Only got th 55-200 for optic quality, light and compact for traveling. No intention to get the 50-140 and 100-400 due to the weight and size. Thats the whole reason I sold all my Nikon Full Frame gear.
 
Well I've finally done the deed, my Canon & various lenses are off to MPB, so that leaves me with the X-Pro2 & lenses + X100F so I may order an X-T2 then that's it no more cameras!!!

What I notice after I sold all my nikon and lenses is that in my camera bag I got the Fuji XT1 plus Fuji 55-200 attached and the 18mm and 35mm in the bag. The weight of the bag is nothing compare to bring out the Nikon D3 plus 24-70 f2.8 and 85mm 1.4 out! I can probably take my Fuji 56m f1.2 and the bag will weight nothing.

Some say the Fuji 55-200 is pretty heavy but when you comparing that to a 24-70 f2.8, the whole Fuji kit is nothing. I really enjoy my fuji kit at the moment. Hate to say I like the fuji auto iso ...... because I can trust the system and I can focus on my shooting instead of messing around with settings.

It also looks like Fuji have consider and care about both Pro and consumer users.

Just edited my previous post with the photos as I think it didn't work correctly the first time.
Open to critique folks! :)

One of my dog with the X-T2 and 100-400.

Its a lot easier to lug around while out for a walk than my Canon gear :D

"Cracking" shot Sir, of a really beautiful dog.(y)

Well the 50-230 arrived today. I can't believe how light it is... Stuck on the T1; I took a couple of pics in the kitchen, hand held and it works a treat.

my lad is going to enjoy using it I think...
Its a cracking lens for the price and image quality is up to the usual Fuji standard :)
Whats not to like a great bit of lightweight kit paired with the XC 16-50mm both OIS and a XM1 & XA2 in the bag its just great lightweight kit :fuji:

Great colours
 
Good news! MPB just email me saying all my gear is checked and is fine, they will dispatch the Fuji 55-200 to me tomorrow and follow by the remaining 4 digit money to my bank. Time to look for the 56mm now. Not sure if I buy use or buy new. Brand new is £770, used is around £600 or Fuji refurbish (if in stock) is £550.

I got more for my D3 kit because I didn't know each spare En-EL4a battery gives me around £15-20 per battery. I got 4 spare and they give me decent money for them.

I would go with the non APD version TBH mine got lost by UK mail ! and Fuji gave me the APD version as a replacement for the one that went missing :(
One thing for sure I will never deal with UK Mail carriers not by choice anyway and I hope Fuji don't either.:fuji:
 
Road map.
Eastbourne 2016
This was taken using my first fuji - X-T10 and a 27.
It was really small set-up that I kind of miss.
It's not like the X-T1 is big, but with a 18 -55 on it, it's not a pocket set -up :)

I thought it was Michael Foot for a moment at first glance :) cracking shot BTW
I still have and use my XT10 & 27mm :) my 8mm Samyang is also a nice compact fit on the body :)
 
Just pulled the trigger for the used 56mm f1.2 from Harrison camera for £600. It was listed as excellent condition with box, front/rear caps and lens hood. It comes with 12month warranty too along with 14 return if I'm not happy.
Sounds like a GR8 DEAL I do hope you enjoy it :)
if you read this especially the Autofocus section you may guess my preference for the non APD version

Thanks Phil. Yes, that's a good combo, and really discrete as well.
 
I just realise I still got 4x Yongnuo RF603N wireless trigger in my camera bag. They are left over from my Nikon kit. I don't have any flash for my Fuji at the moment, will add a Fuji EF-42 or something similar later. Do my yongnuo wireless trigger works on my fuji or do I need to buy a new set for my Fuji XT1?

Also I realise fuji got 2 different EF-X20 flash. Are they any good? I always feel the big flash gun will look stupid and heavy on the XT1.
I purchased the Meike MK320 its a cracking bit of kit for the price :) But i also use my Nikon SB26 In either A aperture mode or manual both on and off camera :)
