The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Good choice of starter lenses.

They're what I used on my X-T10, I was looking through some old raw files last night and it made me remember just how impressive the 18-55 is for the price.

Eventually I'd like to get some primes, but for what I shoot (family stuff and Urbex) these should be enough for the next while.

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

Well, I received a surprisingly good quote from MPB for my Canon kit so the heart has won out and I'm going for the X-T2.

I'll be combining it with an 18-55 and a Samyang 12mm (replacing a 24-70, and a 17-40).

I realise there'll be sacrifices in some areas, but the size difference alone means the camera will get used much more.

That's a good result in my book Sir, you'll love using the X-T2 setup. "Enjoy".

George.

 

[badboy1984]

Using the camera more to take photo is better then leaving the camera at home because of the size!

Just a simple candid street style shot taken at Canterbury Kent UK of a gentleman with his dog sitting in the park next to a statue of a guy called Dave Lee a well known and loved performer in the Kent area who sadly passed away not so very long ago.

I'm hoping to go out for another sunset tonight. I'd be delighted to get some good colour again.

Went out for another sunset last night and it was grey, grey, grey. Almost zero colour due to some heavy cloud cover. Made lemonade and come up with these long exposures.

Does anyone know of any 3rd party (expro etc) batteries for the X-T2? I can only find the older model (Np-W126).

Are the older ones ok to use if I'm not planning on shooting 4K?

Yep. You'd be just fine

Ps go for the Expro Whites.

This link was posted on this thread last week, it's worth a read.

I've used all the batteries tested and I can verify the Expro whites are great value, the Patona's I have don't seem to last as long and the DSTE's are not good at all.

I've had a Wasabi and a Maxissima fail. That is, they stopped holding any charge. No problems with ExPro, either white or black, although anecdotally white seem slightly better. But as I never run batteries completely flat I've not done any formal testing.

 

[EspressoJunkie]

Is there much difference between the white and black expros? Given that I've just ordered two black ones!

There won't be much in it mate. Don't worry about it.

 

[Riz_Guru]

My Black ExPro's work fine in my Fuji XT-2 grip

 

[Jelster]

My Black ExPro's work fine in my Fuji XT-2 grip

I'm pretty confident "anything" is OK in the grip. I have a couple of Hanel batteries that I use in the grip and they have always been fine. I now have a couple of spare W126S batteries as well, but in the grip, 3rd party units seem to be OK.

 

[yamahatdm900]

I have one W126s, one W126 and 4 ex-pro blacks and I use them all in my XT-2. Never had a problem with any of them.

I intend buying a Wide angle for my XT-1 , Fuji10-24 or Samyang 12mm, price is not a factor any thoughts

Unless you're planning on doing astro and that price is not a factor, the 10-24mm all day long.

Far more versatile, excellent OIS and sharp throughout ime.

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

IMHO Sir, the 10-24mm without a doubt.

White or Black expros Sir, I've yet to notice any difference in performance.

Thank you both, GAS kicks in again

If price is not a factor, no contest. 10-24.

 

[jimgallaher]

Definitely 10-24. Fujis widest lens, approx 35mm equivalent at long end and top class OIS, plus it's a very sharp lens (for a zoom)

 

[Raymond Lin]

Is the X-T1 grip only take 1 extra battery?

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

Yes !!

George.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Yes !!

George.

X-T2 can take 2 right?

 

[Riz_Guru]

I wonder when the Fujinon XF 80mm f2.8 WR Macro (1:1) will come out.
Next year we have the 8-16mm f2.8 and probably a 200mm f2.
Big GAS times ahead

 

[yamahatdm900]

X-T2 can take 2 right?

Yes Raymond

 

[Raymond Lin]

Yes Raymond

It seems they improved everything.

Shot on the XT1 with 56mm f1.2 to test my Yongnuo 560 IV flash and 560 TX trigger. Trying to do a selfie is bloody difficult and my living room have no decoration doesn't help on the flash either ..........
