No, it's a different fitting unless you're using a 2.5mm jack plug version. But you could always use a screw-in cable release, or the wireless app.

So there isn't a remote release? Odd.

The USB plug is just different

I was presuming you were asking about third-party ones. It will be a while before they are produced. Up till then there will of course be the official, not cheap, Fuji version.

I don't now if it's a typo but on the Fuji site they list the RR-90 as the remote release. The same as the T1

Interesting, as the port behind the door is USB3.

Yep. Existing RR90 releases do not fit. But....if you have an old 2.5mm jack plug release that does fit and does work. Or use Yongnuo RF 603 remote triggers. They work.

 

[mickledore]

Just seen earlier post. Yes indeed you can fit and old fashioned screw in cable release to the shutter button. That works. Put a cloth over your head and you'll look like a real pro.

Not not best shot in the world but my first quick outing with the XT-1 and the 18-135 just got to get use to the processing the files now.

That's a very nice shot Graham, I'd certainly be happy to have taken it.

Most pros look better with cloths over their heads ...

I was talking to a chap Camulet today about an order and I asked about the date for the XT-2 he said Fuji had just confirmed with them that they will receive stock on the 7th so if you in the first batch you should get them on the 8th.

Love this, the 18mm is underestimated.

 

[Thunderbird010]

If I didn't already have the 23mm 1.4 I would probably have gone for this. The 1.4 is my low light lens and it's extremely sharp.

At last, the voice of reason

This is a really interesting idea using the X70. The widest I have is also the 18-135 and I am keen on long exposures. Not sure I can merit the cost of either a WA prime or the 10-24 for the number of shots and maybe the X70 is a more practical solution. The only trouble is I already have the X100T so that would be 3 Fuji cameras!

The X70 is only 18.5mm equivalent (FF 28mm) unless you add the WA adapter lens to it. SO it is no wider than your existing 18-135. Its main benefit is that it is pocketable which an X-T1 with 18-135 isn't!!!!

BTW you can never have enough Fuji cameras....

there were x70's in the fuji return store yesterday. great little cameras.

it also has a very good optical crop mode allowing you to change from 18mm to 35 & 50mm i think..

Fair shout. I was looking at it with the adapter which I think makes it a 21. Any thoughts on the IQ vs say the 10-24?

If you want 21mm FF equiv, but the XF14mm you won't be disappointed.

[Barrysprout]

Lovely shot either way but it's the short exposure for me. It's a fantastic sky and a shame to lose the cloud structure in the longer exposure.

 

[mickledore]

Thanks Colin. I'm leaning that way too. (it's the drink that does it!)

 

[yamahatdm900]

Agree with Colin the short one in this case

 

[Nod]

Short for me as well. TBH, I'd also like to see the original colour version.

I like the drama of the sky in the 1st one. but the water is much easier on the eye in the long exposure. i'll go against the grain and vote for number 2.
nice shots.

 

[Mr Perceptive]

@mickledore Sky from 1 and rest from 2, though the FOVs are different as well, I like the bit of foreground in 2 as it adds a sense of scale, but I don't like (the OCD part of me), that you've chopped the mid-platform on the LHS!!!!

How were you afternoon pics at the Brunner Mond Wharf, Winnington???

 

[ASH]

Fuji has announced the new XF23 f2 in Canada.

I can see this being my next purchase tbh. Looks a cracker.

Your wish is my command, Sir.
I over worked it a touch to help with the intended conversion so the colours seem a tad OTT, but it was never intended for public consumption!

Tried that but it looked odd. will try again a different way, just for you.

 

[mickledore]

Still working on them, but pretty much the same as yours in the other thyread.

I quite like that, even though you've had to make up the water on the LHS!!! Now you just need to go back with the right sky and take two exposures without moving!!!

@Mr Perceptive Sheer skill my boy.
Go back? There's not a lot here besides this so it's a long way for one shot.
I could suggest that you went, but you'd probably get lost!!!

 

[Bond6]

I like the first one but would make the sky a tad darker if poss

Short for me, love it. Way more character than the long one. The water in the short exposure adds nice texture and balance to the image. Its obviously subjective though. Nice work - where is that shot?

 

[mickledore]

A long way from Lunnun. Way up in the Pennine hills between Halifax and Manchester.

Very cool. I worked on a power station up in Scotland and it looked very similar. I wish I had taken a shot like that. What focal length is it shot at?
