Just bought the Fuji 27mm pancake lens. I like it, so small and lightweight. One problem, lens hood!

Any recommendations please?

I use one of these

Metal Lens Hood + Cap Fits Fuji XF 27mm f2.8 Lens Black | eBay

You can leave the hood permanently attatched.

I use a hood on my 27mm that may not be identical but is certainly very similar.

Have an X-T3 now with the latest firmware updates and i must say i think Fuji have a half decent AF system now.

I always thought it was a major weakness of Fuji and im so happy they seem to have put a lot of effort into improving.

You are right Fuji were definitely lagging behind, Its definitely improved but still isn't as good as the latest Sony's and the Canon R3/R5/R6 - though some of these models are playing in a different ball park

But Fuji better get it sorted as I suspect that next years X-H2 will be a very similar price to the Canon R6 and the next generation Sony A7 (IV??)

Anyone have any recommendations for a USB travel charger for the Fuji W126 batteries?

Not sure if this has been answered in later posts but I use a Hahnel UniPal Plus charger for pretty much all my charging needs on holiday. It comes with a 3 pin (UK type) plug insert as well as a Euro 2 pin and a car lead. About 30 quid from many retailers.

 

[weebleswobble]

Broke my wrist a couple of weeks ago while out for a sunrise with the dog, it is being operated on tomorrow - so with a plate and screws setting it in place, I'm being optimistic and surely I can use the camera on Monday...

Well, if Django can shoot 5 Mexicans and a Confederate general with two smashed hands....

Finally got my 55-200 back from Fuji, after a member on here pointed out that it appeared to be decentred. After a "factory calibration" under warranty it seems better, based on my crude test shot. It was good to have it back, even if all I got to use it for was chasing my son around the skate park.

Well, after a while of absolutely zero inspiration. I`m slowly getting something back. It`s all still a bit "meh" though, but thought I`d share one from this morning...

Nice set, Tom! Are they all using Classic Chrome, or is it a film look of your own making?

Thanks Garry. The first three will be from the same preset and second lot from the same preset, each with some individual tweaks, particularly number 6 to bring out the greens.

If anyone is looking for a Fuji 10-24 wide angle zoom - and if you're happy with the Mark 1 version (no weather sealing) - Fuji Refurbished are doing them at £549 with the usual 12 month warranty.

For comparison MPB are doing "Excellent" examples for £544 and "Like New" at £569.

I picked up a Fuji Refurbished example last week. Just like new. Lovely lens.

My 10-24 is rarely off of my T3 body, unless I'm shooting something very specific.

There's all sorts on e-bay including some rather expensive "genuine" fuji things.

I just searched for fuji strap rings.

Nice set. The first 3 from the NCP? Did you get any bother when going up there from security?

Yeah they are, i think it was near central station. That was my first time in the city. No bother up there but I was only up there for a few mins then back down.
