The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Thanks folks - I must confess it was a second attempt. I had been up there a couple of mornings earlier in a slightly different position and something was off about composition - had to revisit and get the tripod into a fairly awkward position to get this angle, but worth it I think.

Here's a very different image from the same city - taken looking directly up at the dome of St Stephen's Basilica. The decor was just gorgeous.

Another “Excellent” Fujigraph Sir, perfect composition, spot on exposure & colour, and so much detail.(y)

George.
 
Apart from my Samyang 12mm lens that I use for landscapes, the only other lens that I've got for my X-T1 is the 18-55 kit that I use for my studio snaps. I'm wondering if I would get a noticeable increase in detail and sharpness for studio snaps if I got the 50mm f2. I shoot mostly between f5.6 and f8. Any thoughts?

yeah id guess so as all the other fuji bodies do. but not continuous eye af last time i used x-t2.
I've not seen anything about the focus system in the x-h1 other than "improved".

Just tried my xt2. It does continuous face tracking but not continuous eye tracking. Having said that I don't trust it with either. Not sure if it's as good as the Sony

Personally I think 50mm is a weird focal length on a crop sensor. It's not really long enough to be a true, flattering portrait lens, and it's too tight for general purpose. It's a popular focal length because Canon's version is good and affordable and other manufacturers followed suit. If budget allows I'd get the 90 f2.

Cheers. Appreciate that. Would the 90 f2 give me a perceptible improvement in detail and sharpness over my 18-55?

It’s very good on the Sony and was one of the reasons I switched back to them. Not sure why fuji have not sorted this out through fw updates.
 
Cheers guys. I guess that I'm looking at a focal length prime that would be most versatile for the buck, hence my 50mm thought, particularly as it is gonna be used primarily in a tightish studio (20ft long) so I thought that I would get full length as well as head shots out of the one lens.

90mm = about 135mm in old money so perhaps not the best for what you want
 
Full body shots speak 50mm FF to me, therefore 35mm Fuji.
You should be able to assess your required focal length playing around with the zoom.

“Excellent” candid street style Fujigraph Sir, absolutely love this shot.(y)

Thanks both, much appreciated! It's somewhat inspired by Fan Ho, albeit only about 1% as good. If you don't know him, I would encourage you to remedy that, especially if you have an interest in street photography.
