Fuji x100

I was out and about with my X-T2 and 10-24 in Swaledale yesterday, and while I enjoyed it, took very little which could not be achieved with the X100F. Confirmed my choice to only take the F and WCL to HK and Oz next week. I’m in danger of thinking about selling my T2 and lenses! Sort of reverse-GAS.
 
One from today's dog walk with my 'new' X100 Classic:-

Or how about a mono:-

It might be an old clunker but the appeal is still there

This is my goal eventually. Do you have any converters?

I have the WCL, but found I used it very little on my recent trip, from which I returned yesterday. Hong Kong for 2 days, the rest of the month being Australia. As indicated, I only took the X100F and WCL and didn't miss the X-T2 a bit. Plus I took over 600 shots on one battery with no recharging ( I took spares with me but did not use them) and still had 40% charge left at the end of the trip. I have a policy of switching the camera off after almost every shot, which I think helps.

Is that using the ovf?

I didn't realise the wcl was referring to the wide angle converter.

I have a friend in HK id live a trip out there. Are you traveling for work?

A mix of OVF and EVF, according to the light and my mood! No, HK was a stop-over on the way to Oz for a family visit.
 
Being a bit of a butter-fingers, I thought I'd share a mod I did to the TCL to stop it slipping out of my hands when mounting and dismounting it from the camera. Simply a bit of anti-slip grip tape round the end. Did the same of the WCL, though it's not needed as much, and I also put an offcut on the half-case.

Great idea Sir, and doesn't look too bad either.(y)

Bought it from that great river, Amazon. Simply called "Anti-slip Grip Tape" by 151 Adhesives. Bought a 4 metre roll, 25mm wide, and cut it to width with a Stanley knife.

Incidentally, because the push-on rear caps are rather flimsy, I bought two generic 49mm lens caps to replace them. I'm considering glueing them together, back to back, so I can put the adaptors in my pocket with no fear of them rattling together. I used to do this with my m4/3 lenses many years ago.
 
Slightly embarrassed to ask this, so be gentle...

Is the lens on the X100 detachable or fixed?

If your thinking of buying,check serial number on.the bottom.the early ones had a potential for sticky aperture blade problem.
Any number beginning with a 1 could potentially cost you around £110to fix,last time i asked fuji about it.
2 or3 should be fine
 
Had a couple of days away in Dorset this past week, just took the X100f and my Bronica film camera... great combination, although I ended up shooting more film than digital! Was a bit foggy and misty at Durdle Door, but what a fantastic sight it is, well worth the almost cardiac arrest on the hill back to the car park :D

Just noticed I'd left the WCL in my camera bag, wish I'd known I'd had it with me! :banghead:

No, I'd like to buy one, but I can't justify spending so much on a camera that I know I won't get that much use out of as I like having the option to use varying focal lengths. I really do like the look of the X100 though... must... not... buy...

Thanks for the warning, however! :)
 
The are niche BUT they are also fantastic. They make you think about what you're doing, the IQ is amazing, the b&w stunning. Of course, they have their quirks but overall, you won't be disappointed if you get one.

It the tape gritty, will it scratch other items?

It took me a while to justify it too, but the X100T ended up being the camera I use most.

Wouldn't suit my style of photography, I'm going to stop looking at this thread now before I do something the wife wouldn't approve of...
