Well after a 9 mnth excursion into M 4/3 land I am somewhat predictably back with Fuji after picking up an X-T20 from these here classifieds...

I need a zoom lens so once again have to decide between the 16-50 and 18-55 !

Does anyone on here use the 16-50 on the T20 or the X-T2 ? Just wondering if it was 'good' enough to use on the 24 mp sensor ?

thanks

Yes its more than good enough if you don't abuse your gear I have a couple of them one goes with my 50-230mm along with 2 bodies X-T10, X-m1 or X-A2. XF27mm & Samyang 8mm f2.8
optically you won't be disapointed

 

[Phiggys]

Thanks Phil. Yes, that's a good combo, and really discrete as well.

Yes but not so discrete as mine are all silver finish apart from the 27mm lol maybe i should buy a black one too !

One of my first images shot with my XF 50-140mm on a XT1 studio shoot a real boost for me over my primes as it stabilised

Took out one of my favourite portrait lenses on Sunday - the Contax / Yashica mount Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm f/2.8 (Made in Japan MM version). Matched it to the Lens Turbo II:

beautiful

 

[badboy1984]

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
https://www.fujivsfuji.com/56mm-f1pt2-vs-apd/

Yeah lens arrive yesterday and the lens looks more like open box and hardly any use then a second hand lens. Big bonus here and I do like the weight and feel of the 56mm f1.2 prime. I guess everything is small and light for me after shooting with Nikon for many years. I can pack everything in my Manfrotto messenger bag and the weight is nothing lol.

where did you buy it from BB?

 

[badboy1984]

where did you buy it from BB?

Harrison Camera. It did advertise as "Excellent" condition. Is more like "Like New" condition to me. I guess different shop uses the term differently. Next on my shopping list is the Nissin i40 flash gun or maybe i60. Possibly a XE2 as second body, these Fuji is so light and small that I can take 2 body with 2 seperate lens attached and just shoot without thinking about changing lens.

 

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

yes harrisons a good company.there is a nice Xpro1 in the ads

I can't see the x pro 1 you talked about on there website. Only got 3 XT1

I think he means his own, in the TP classifieds

 

[badboy1984]

I see what you mean now. I just pull a trigger to buy the Fuji LH-XF35-2 hood ........ £50 for a freaking hood but it protects my 35mm f2 better then the original small one that doesn't really do anything ....

Two "Stunning" shots Sir, In my book they're certainly amongst the best candid style child portraits I've seen on TP.

I may be being a bit Scottish here but no way would I pay £50 for a hood.

I'd maybe stretch to that one but I never had a problem with the supplied hood and if I had to replace it I'd probably try this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/ck9/SODI...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N56AEJWGRQN57VM7ED1R

I did look at that one but they are screw on hood to the lens. The Fuji OEM one is clip on so the length doesn't stick out as much. Is one of those I like the Fuji design but high price, if I buy the cheap one, i will just keep looking at the Fuji one.

That's not one of the wrecks near Spadeadam is it?

[badboy1984]

Btw guys, on Auto ISO settings, what minium shutter speed do you guys use? If so do you change the min shutter from lens to lens?

 

[badboy1984]

OEM hood, they are god damn expensive.

I'll take two! [emoji1]

I will be looking for one for a 35mm 1.4 I've just acquired, but I ain't paying anywhere near that for it.

I'd maybe pay a bit extra for a clip on if it was reversible but it's not (edit: or is it?) so chances are it will be left on the lens all the time anyway. If length is a concern there is a nice short one in the box

Morning walk.

I brought a Fujinon 55 1.8 in a charity shop, and have been using it on my
walks round N8. This is Greyhound lady on her morning walk.

( It is deliberately de-focussed)

Not sure whether is reversible or not, I will let you know when I receive it.

Thanks, although I've recently parted with my f2 after acquiring another f1.4. But it's handy to know.

Now that the facility exists, Auto for ss as well. It's supposed to alter according to the focal length automatically.

Since you mention it, I will have to double check tonight. I think I had min shutter set to 1/70 ish when I attached the 35mm f2. In theory it should change when I put my 56mm in?

You can get an after market one for £10.98.

Yeah but I don't like screw in hood so went for the expensive Fuji one. No problem buying the Fuji, just expensive thats all. What I will end up doing is buy the Fuji one after I use a third party one. Might as well go for the Fuji one now. lol

 

[Raymond Lin]

I bought the Fuji One too.

 

[tijuana taxi]

1/80 and no I don't change it, hardly ever use anything over 50mm focal length

 

[Barrysprout]

I bought the Fuji One too.

Does it reverse?

I've never updated the firmware on my X-T1. Just checked it and it's on version 4. The latest is 5.1, will I benefit in any way by upgrading? Is it worth doing and what is difference please?
