Already been looking at the JupitersScour EBay for Zenit cameras with the lens attached, they can go for a tenner
Once you have a Helios, your next stop is the 135mm Jupiter 11A for more Russian industrialness
Hate to say it but the Fuji grip will be the best bet - not cheap but the one I have for the XT1 is great [emoji51]

That was one of the reasons I didn't get it, I was living in Belfast at the time, 1970's, that and the fact it would have cost me around 5 years pocket money !If someone was seen using one of those today they would probably be shot with no questions asked
Speaking of Zenit cameras, when I first got into photography when I was 13, I bought a Zorki 4K but the camera I really wanted was this

I thought it was the coolest thing I ever saw, in fact I still quite fancy getting one. I would have even taken this over a Johnny 7 OMA gun, anyone remenber them ?
Oh yes, I remember them! I made a replica for my Praktica out of wood!Speaking of Zenit cameras, when I first got into photography when I was 13, I bought a Zorki 4K but the camera I really wanted was this

The original fuji one is nice for the xt10, mpb sometimes have them on for half new price or less.While i'm here - anyone else got one of the eBay grips on an x-t10? Are they all as bad a fit as mine or have I just picked a dud? Don't want to order another of the same...

Wooden body, wooden stock, wooden trigger , wooden work ?Oh yes, I remember them! I made a replica for my Praktica out of wood!
That bokeh!Once you start looking at the world of MF lenses, there are loads to choose from. This is from a Carl Zeiss Jena Zebra lens, only the lowly 50mm f2.8, picked up at a car boot sale for a couple of quid.

I screwed up on my last visit to the Naval College in Greenwich and came home with a bunch of blurry shots but went back yesterday and tried to pay attention to what I was doing. I still don't know what I did wrong last time but at least these shots were sharp enough. I used a ten stop filter and a old canon fd 35mm tilt-shift lens. I think this is a nine shot pano. Despite the ten-stopper the shutter speed was still pretty fast and the slow-moving clouds are visible in the original even if the Thames is blurred, so there has been some drastic PP applied.

My thoughts exactly. I tried doubling up with my two ten-stoppers - I had one filter properly mounted on the lens and the bigger one just hooked on the front. I got a four minute exposure but there was too much distortion. Next time I will take a polariser along too and get another couple of stops.Lovely, Time for a 16 stopper!!!

I was at 200 iso. I couldn't get the L iso setting to work (shooting raw+fine or just fine). Am I missing something?
I'd have been happy with just the JPEG but even when set to shoot just fine JPEG switching the iso to L didn't change the metering at allNo, not missing anything, L will only give you JPEG the native ISO is 200, and thats the lowest setting for a RAW file.
Love this lens. I like the subtle, or not so subtle swirling...

I was at f16 on this lens, past the sweet spot but that gave me 4-8 second exposures which at least blurred the water. Another couple of stops would have been fine. I use screw in filters so could get a 3 or 6 stop square filter and mount that too. I got dreadful colour casts with all the strong square filters I tried but the screw-ins seem pretty good even though they are cheap (Haida and Camdiox). They hadn't launched the Firecrests by the time I gave up on square filters though and I hear they are fine (but expensive).
Ian, my Firecrests are screw in (72mm, and I use step rings to adjust), and yes they are expensive, but very little colour cast even at 16 stops.
Question...
Mrs Jelster has an interest in photography, and rather likes my X-T1, and as her Birthday is next month, I was thinking about buying her an X-T10, but I'm stuck for what lens to put on it. I have the 18-55 and the 35mm f1.4, but wanted to get her a lens we don't already have, so was thinking about the 27mm f2.8 XF. It will keep the combo small & light, and she will have access to the other lenses (and it won't break the bank either).
What's the major differences between the T1 & T10 ? I know they share the same processor, but other than that, I'm not so sure.

Maybe an 18-135 might suit if she'll just be using one lens?
18-135 is quite a big beast, probably better balanced on the X-T1.
