The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Maybe I'm going to commit sacrilege here, but to me the XT-10 looks like a toy camera

The only real way to prove this is to buy an X-T10 and an Instax and sit them next to each other. Up for the challenge?

 

[jimgallaher]

LOL TBH I quite fancy an instax

 

[Greggster]

Nothing wrong with an Instax [emoji15]

Doesn't feel like one

Is the fuji one worth the outlay

I can't comment on the third party units Karen, because I've never used one on the X-T1. But the Fuji battery grip has never given me a prob' and sure is a great bit of kit.

I'm surprised that the Meike grip is not so good as I have used their grips on Nikon gear and have never experienced a prob'. Other kit from them is also normally very good and well up to the job.

Anyone using a thumbgrip on their XT1 ?

I'm in Deal George.

I know it very well Rob, I used to play guitar in the West St Club until it closed down. Also had a lot to do with the RMs in Canada Rd.

Nearly forgot I live at Stone when I'm in the UK.

I live just off Canada Road not too far from the Berry (used to be the Beret until the bombing)

I was surprised as well George as ive always used them on heavy Canon gear with no problems. Didnt matter what I tried the battery clip would not hold itin place. There was no resistance on it.

Some people have said that when using them with Blackrapid straps,that the screws start giving way

Which one did you have ?

 

[Stephen L]

Fuji grip ordered..learn me to be a meany lol..my gran used to say "buy cheap..buy dear"

Just received my refund for the Meikle grip. The supplier did say that they now had a redesigned version in stock, but I think I'll pass. I don't normally like vertical grips and only bought one to ease my shoulder problem. But since it's scheduled for surgery in September I should no longer need one. (A grip, that is. Not a shoulder ...)

 

[minnnt]

Hmm, interesting. Might drop them a message to find out more.

I think so, it works well with my 18-135.

X-T10 delivered today between 14:10 and 15:10.

I've never tried one of those Blackrapid straps Simon, so I really can't comment on that. I just use a normal type wide Neoprene strap onto the two camera lugs.

George.

 

[Ruffmeister]

Pickup day tomorrow for the X-T10. Can't wait! Hopefully no probs with the XP1

 

[simonblue]

Which one did you have ?

Just an bog stranded of e.bay

 

[architectfadi]

I use my blackrapid strap with my Fuji vertical grip and it works fine.

 

[minnnt]

When i am shooting motorsport i have my 'focus' sling connected to my 50-140 then if i needed to swap lenses i would remove the lens and leave it connected to my strap. Worked pretty well. Not sure how I'll work it with two bodies now though. May have to resort to the Fuji strap for the X-E1... Uuurrrrggghhhh.

If you really want to be taken seriously you need one of these.... and some dirty white primer with a brush to DIY your lenses. At the moment they just think youre a hipster.

 

[minnnt]

Do i need the Canon Pro vest aswell or is that optional?

 

[AdamTudor]

Not overly keen on giant White lenses....

Jesus it's small.

 

[twist]

Definitely better in black... like all the other Fujis.

 

[minnnt]

Nope. Silver for me.

That hat would complete the 'douché bag' look for sure.

 

[AdamTudor]

Bet you have 2 then? @minnnt

 

[minnnt]

Rude.

 

[simonblue]

Bet you have 2 then? @minnnt

I might

 

[twist]

I might

Do you wear both at the same time?

 

[Barrysprout]

Preferring the black too, just as well as that's what I changed my order to. Just had an email from WEX to say that the two lens kit is in stock, phoned and paid. Was offered tomorrow as earliest delivery but I won't be home until the evening. Was offered Monday delivery for £4.99 but as I'm Scottish it will be delivered free on Tuesday.

 

[Crocky]

Can I join please. I'm not as tight as Barry so WEX are delivering my XT 10 Monday morning [emoji1]

Nah, you really need the Talk Photography neoprene strap to make your Fuji look seriously cool.

Thanks for that. It should be here wednesday so will let you know

 

[Greggster]
