The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

[Mr Perceptive]

These pic's are simply stunning guys n' gals. Very inspirational. I'm gubsmacked.

Thanks Peter, for me it's been about as much (subtle) improvement in processing as it has been in composition, but the X-T2 is such a joy to use, I took a few pictures with an X-E2 yesterday, and it just felt so slow........

Did you use SilverEfex for the mono image? That 14mm is the mutts nutts!

 

[Simes123]

Hmmm seen a xt10 with kit lens for £375 might get that for time being

Is that a new one? I'm thinking about getting an X-T10 for my wife, but was looking at the twin lens kit at Wex, such that I could filch the 55-200.

 

[Mr Perceptive]

Yes, LR first to do some very basic stuff, then Silver Efex Pro (the mono image was with the XF23mm

That seems like a steal if it's in good condition. By kit lens do you mean the XF18-55mm or I think they did a kit with the XC16-50.

I love the X-T10. It makes shooting such fun and the images it produces are stunning. I shot for many years with Nikon and have shot more images that I love in the last 3 months of owning the Fuji than in 3 years of shooting with the Nikon! I shot some car stuff at a local classic car day that I am convinced I would never have gotten with my old gear.

That is tip notch. BBC1 HD Apprentice-esque

Thanks man - maybe I should try and sell Lord Sr'Alun a copy!

Hopefully I'll be in a position to lower the average soon.

Love it. If I was being particularly picky, I find the two red light reflections in the lower left corner rather distracting - maybe they could be cloned out?

I can't wait.

New firmware for X-T1 : http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xt1/index.html

Lots of new button functions, new film mode, and exposure comp in manual (using ISO to go either way by first glance). XT-2 owners will have to wait a few more weeks :-(

Just updated there, I'm not seeing any difference bar some new flash settings, which are no real use to me

It must be getting pretty close.

As good as they are (and there are some exceptional photos) let's not get carried away

I think someone spotted my error earlier in that it's a (instruction) manual update.

Agreed. Don't get carried away. You must have forgotten the absolute best camera ever made. The Nikon D750. I know it's good; this thread is full of praise for it.
I've heard that the MkII version will not have a delete button. It seems that nobody ever uses it, because every image taken is exhibition standard.

 

[Bond6]

Great shot. Curious - do you start with a preset on SEP?

 

[Nuzik]

I have the 18mm and the 56mm now I'm thinking of either a 27mm or the 35mm. The 27mm will be closer to a true 35mm shot which appeals to me. On the other hand the 35mm lens is meant to be awesome but it's going to be like a nifty fifty and will I use it as much or instead of the 56mm?

Sounds like it's the 23mm you need.

Within your existing range I would fit the 35mm f2.

Here's my shot from almost the same place but taken with the 23mm.

Both fantastic images and a day when it's not peeing down in Manchester!!

 

[rookies]

Hi,

Am I right that you got the Xt10? Also a D750? First of all

Sold my D750 and I have an XT2

Cool and you enjoyed the move over and what was your reasoning? You appear to be a prime shooter?

I promise not to mention it again

Now you need to mention it again and blame Stewart Lee

 

[Nuzik]

Hey, yeah I shoot primes. Not used a zoom for years now and i dont even mind carrying a few in my pocket.
The move has been somewhat slow and the learning curve is still there which I'm hoping i am getting the hang of.
I wanted a new camera something lighter and i was out of love with my Nikon I'd had it for a while and it just didn't have any love was just going through the motions

 

[Stephen L]

why?

It's a better lens than the 27, although that's pretty good but it doesn't have an aperture ring. Personally I'm not over fond of the 23mm length.

 

[dave.hallett]

I have done LE Stitched Pano's in the past, but you need the sky to work for you!!!

Indeed, it's a lovely shot but I'm almost sorry you didn't stitch, it deserves to be printed huge.

Then again, it's quite annoying having pictures you can't afford to print at the size they really deserve...so maybe you made the smart choice!

Fantastic image either way...

I thought he was on your ignore list lol

He was but not now. As he did nothing wrong [emoji106]

Heads up;

I'm looking to trade my minty X-E2 body against a minty XF18-55mm or a XF14mm.

Thanks;
Peter

Ullswater by Graham Norton, on Flickr

These are both really lovely shots, Graham, great job. My two favourite Lakes in one post...! My only minor gripe would be that possibly the Ullswater far horizon is a tad oversharpened? But it could be just an effect of the light, and it's such a great shot it seems almost churlish to mention it.

Thanks Dave, you could well be right looking at on here although it does look better in the full size version.

 

[dave.hallett]

Thanks Dave, you could well be right looking at on here although it does look better in the full size version.

...and quite likely just right when printed! Yes, good point. A timely reminder that sharpening is very context-dependent.
