Though there is now a way to stop the front Fn button problem - last setup menu > lock > function selection > fn1 button (check box) then back to Lock > Lock settings > Lock Selected

Thank you. You're far too clever for me!

Just pimped my XT1 with a brown leather strap.... Made by Leica. Is this acceptable or will I be ridiculed by the Leica Lads?

 

[minnnt]

You will more than likely be pulled limb from limb... So you might aswell get a Leica sticker for the front too!

You'll maybe need a couple of these to pull it off ........ https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=l...dRDirH4Ac6eqogF&ved=0CEAQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=939

The metal hood on my 35mm is also quite badly beat up.... So I look pretty darn hipster right now. A bit gaffer tape and I'm ready for Thailand!

Just need one of these and you will be sorted.

So I'm bad for wanting to create little red stickers that read "Likea" to put on the front of my X-Pro1 and X-10?!

As I mentioned before I had a bit of a thing about shooting some busker/musician type shots a little while ago. Well here's a few that make up a small story from playing to selling a CD.

All shot with an X-T1 and 55-200mm lens.

That's a nice shot Gregg, reminds me of the "Smokies" back in Tennessee.

Do it! I'll have one to put on my LX5 - aka Leica Digilux whatever it is!

Woo! Grabbed a 10-24 last night (gotta love a Ramadan bargain). Turns out 10 is really really wide. Loving it

Very nice, a CPL would have darkened the blue skies nicely

I've been looking one of these for the right price, do you mind if I ask where you got the bargain ? OK penny is dropping, ramadan, UAE ?

 

[Karen]

Yup- Im in Abu Dhabi. Our local dealer has every XF lens with about 25% off at the moment. Got the 10-24 for a smidge over £500.

still says coming saturday. Its annoying because with our depot you cant pick it up til next working day

 

[tijuana taxi]

Whatever delivery day Amazon say I assume it will be a day earlier, been that way the last six or so times

Very annoying though

Haha yep same here so was planning to stay in tomorrow

 

[minnnt]

Which is tomorrow and a day earlier than was promised... Don't be so Scottish and look on the bright side.

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

I'm guessing Karen that's because the van still has it on board and has not yet returned to depot. I've not used Amazon since before City-Link went bust, so are they still no better?

That's not scottish that's Victor Meldrewish lol its ok though I went just as depot were closing and it was there. Much happier with Fuji grip quality shows through

So that's a result then Karen, all we need now is to see some pictures with your new set-up.

This...

Ok so i have the 18 and 23... Any thoughts on swapping them out for the 14 and 35?

 

[ukaskew]

The 35 is like a completely new beast with the X-T10 (and presumably X-T1). I was very apprehensive about moving to the 35 rather than getting another 23 as I hated the 35 when I used it briefly alongside the 23 on the v3 X-T1. No concerns whatsoever now though, love it.

 

[bazfoster]

Damn it! Why did i sell the 35mm!#?*

 

[minnnt]

Yeah i think I'm on the verge of selling the 23 for the 35. I really like the 18 so maybe i will go for the 12mm f2 instead of the 14... Maybe?

 

[T_J_G]

Be similar to my setup 12/18/35 although I have the 56 instead of the 50-140 you have.

I'm thinking abo moving on the 18&35 for a 23mm so the complete opposite although the new firmware with the 35mm makes me want to keep it!

also, who uses PreAF? Tried it a bit around the house today and I'm not sure I can get on with it...

 

[Barrysprout]

Oh but the 14 is so nice :-D.

Selling the 23 is madness its one of if not the best Fuji. Just save for the 35 used, should get one for 225 quidish

 

[minnnt]

There's always one...

Sell it all and buy a D810...

No no no. A d750.

I agree, it's a strange move.
