Looks nice and sharp
Although I can barely see the screen on my phone in all this lovely sunshine.
Many thanks Jonathan, much appreciated.

Spent two days in sunny Swindon this week, off to Amsterdam tomorrow, still trying to work out what gear to take on a minimalist camera excursion!!
Option 1 - X100 - it did me well in Tuscany
Option 2 - X-T1 + a couple of lenses (sensor needs cleaning before I go though)
Option 3 - 2 bodies and two lenses for no lens changover

I'm having a day in Lunnun tomorrow. Taking one (my only) body plus 18.55, 10.24 and the 8mm fisheye. Gorillapod too!
Is it worth throwing in a 10 stop and CPL?
When are you back?

Only away 5 days
I wouldn't both with ND filters for a day trip, CPL might be useful given the weather, you've a pretty busy itinerary
so not much time in each location.Lens choice looks fine, fisheye can be fun in London.

I'm leaning towards X-T1 8/14/18-55 for my trip

Original thought was to take the ND to blur out some of the Metropolitan throng that will block every view. Doesn't weigh much but will I use it?
Itinerary is far from fixed and I've no idea where anything is down there.

Given the weather forecast you'll need quite a lot of stops (That is ND filters as well as
)

More beer and sight seeing whilst still getting decent shots. Not too bulky at all either.

I know the very tip of the pencil is broken but do you think I could find a sharpener.

Now you are being negative.
Recently discovered = a lot to catch up on. Ergo...you are surplus to requirements.
Lots of time to fill. Bonzer!

Thought about it hard, but have gone for 'my' light option:-
X-T1 + 18-55mm
X-E2 + 14mm
8mm
XF23mm
Gorillapod
All fits nicely in my Billingham Hadley Pro
Can be slimmed down to just taking out one body + one lens when I'm there, yes I won't look Hipster cool with the X100, but I'm not short on luggage space

You can get an instant quote for repairs from the Fuji website. I think it's a fixed fee though
My wife's X-M1 shutter has stopped firing, standard repair cost is £95 BUT...they do give you 12 months warranty on the entire camera afterwards...

Has anyone used something like this on a grip?
I have a Panasonic G7 and I find the grip very uncomfortable as it has a crease in it. I'd love to be able to pack the crease with something and cover it with vinyl but I wonder how long lasting it'd be.

95 quid for a shutter is very cheap. Plus it's usually 6 months with other manufacturers.

I dunno but have done other things like my phone and an old xbox 360.
The adhesives are good and the shapes to contours well with a bit of heat from a hairdryer. The xbox has held up despite heat, sunlight, kids knocking it about and spillages. The phone has too despite everyday handling, drops, and the occasional rinse under a tap (it's waterproof).
I would say the surface needs to be smooth(ish), so the old coating would need to come off first or be filled. You can get faux leather textured vinyls though...

Thanks. I may look into this but it might just scupper the resale value so another option could be just to sell it and wait for a more comfortable camera. Try as I might I just can't seem to get used to the grip and in fact it's annoying me more and more.

I think it's actually the button that has failed, rather than the shutter. Either way you can get a used X-M1 from MPB for £125.00 lol
