A very underrated lens then?
I see your Dexter and raise you my Dexter... I think someone else in this thread has a dog called Dexter too!

...and the version suggested by @MattyW - thank you - or rather my interpretation of it.

I can vouch for them for panos from Fuji. I got one as a christmas present for my brother and was very impressed with the quality overall.Try Trade Canvas Print - I think they do any size (up to a limit of course)
The first one for me. I like the darker foreground it draws the eye to those beautiful greens.Well, a page or two ago I promised a pics, well - have three versions
The worst thing is v1 isn't even the SOOC, that was much darker and washed out so a bit of work was needed, so I came up with this (BTW sorry for the large size, its a pano so needed it)

Then I threw it up for a crit both here and with some friends - nothing here (edit - just got one ), but my mates gave a couple of suggestions.
So, for the first version I brought up the foreground and lightened some of the darker clouds to remove that two cloud level feel.
- I found the two layers of cloud neither of which are level to be confusing to the eye and possibly the foreground to be a bit dark.
- Black and white that baby.

Then for the B&W I took the the colour redo and plugged it onto Silver Efex Pro, applied dark sepia global with the addition of applying Acros film simulation then using a control point brought the central area back up - I did try pure B&W but the sepia worked better for me.

For me the B&W(ish) version works best but I really would have loved a colour version that popped enough.
Oh and if anything were to get me to buy the X-T2 it would be Acros after that (and if the continuous AF was usable)
I've put my order in for my T2. I'm surprised I'm the only preorder at my local store.
So.... a week a counting to the big XT2 launch then....
Can't wait to get mine. Although think I'm probably going to sell my 100-400 before I get the chance to pair them up.
Mine will probably arrive two days after I leave for my holiday ...So.... a week a counting to the big XT2 launch then....
All Dexters must be crazy!!!Thanks, I was saving it for a month in the POTY comp last year, it was taken back in January 2015, but I forgot all about the comp and it's not been seen by anyone till now! Dexter can be very photogenic, but most of the time he's just a crazy idiot.

Why are you thinking of selling the 100-400mm?
Unless you need the cash that selling it would free up, I'd keep hold of it. At some point you'll want/need it again and will have to splash the cash to get it back. It's only been out a few months and the loss you'll probably take on it will work out at near the rental cost!
its a difficult one. its a wonderful lens. but hard to justify having it when its not getting used.
will have to give it some thought
That lens isn't a walkabout lens anyway so isn't used as much I would of thought anyway in the first place?
My starter Fuji kit was the X-Pro1 with the 18mm and a free 60mm. When I got that kit, I ordered the 18-55 and 55-200 zooms for convenience (a lot of places I shoot, foot zoom simply isn't possible!). When I got the X-T1 as well, I went for the 18-135 since 1) it's WR and 2) the extra reach is handy! At some point, I added the 10-24 since I love wide angles and I've also now got a 100-400 with the 1.4x and 2x telecons so I have pretty much all the focal lengths covered. SO much lighter than a DSLR kit with comparable FL range. The travel kit is now both bodies with 10-24, 18-135, 18mm prime and the 100-400 with the telecons.
I've the XF10-24mm & XF55-200mm lenses arriving tomorrow to add to my X line up.
Useful tip cheersI think the question initially refers to lightroom mobile, used on a tablet or phone though. Much harder with fingers instead of a mouse pointer
simply because I'm not getting the opportunities to use it. since becoming a Dad i have less and less spare time to go and shoot for fun. so i have a lens worth over a grand sitting in my bag doing nothing.
so nice that price! IO am looking exactly for the same combo!Well the 18mm f2 I just bought in Bangkok looks legit. It seems to function as it should and came with all the bells and whistles. It also has an international warranty card, for what it's worth.

All for £166.
Just contacted Fuji to find out about the the existing remote release compatibility of the XT2.
"Thank you for contacting Fujifilm UK.
We can confirm that the RR-90 is compatible with the X-T2. The smaller of the 2 ports is the HDMI connection and the larger port is split into 2. The lower part is where the RR-90 connects to.
We hope this information helps.
Kind regards.
The Fujifilm X World Team"
On that note - can someone recommend a remote release they have been using with the XT1?
I have an imitation (Neewer) RS-60E3 and can confirm it does NOT work on the X-T1 or X-Pro2. At least, it doesn't work as it should! In fact, it went into the bin only this afternoon.Canon RS-60E3 wired remote plugged in the mic jack, Hahnel Giga Pro with 2.5mm jack also worked if you want wireless
More than likely that the Ebay cheapo Canon compatible remotes work too, but havent tried them so can't say for definite
