I paid €230 for it, which I thought was a great deal as it's like new. That translates into just over £200 and I'd have to ship to UK so say £210. You could probably find it cheaper I'm sure. But since I only bought it this week I can't lose on it. Unless you have a 35 F2 you'd like to trade? with a few quid your way? That would be ideal for me.
Here's some more autumn colour from last weekend, hoping to get out again tomorrow. I still think the potential of cloudy days is much underestimated, but this one was so dark I could have used a tripod

If I get on with the XT1 I will probably consider the upgrade to the XT2 but the only real advantage for me would be the dual card slot and focus point joystick nipple thing. For my uses the improved AF and 24mp won't be of much benefit TBH as it still wouldn't replace my D750 so I'm not sure I could justify the extra cost just for the dual card and nipple
There's been some gorgeous light in these parts over the past few days when the sun's been lower in the afternoons, the leaves on the trees look like they're lit up. Unfortunately I've been working so not been able to capture it

that is one annoyance for me with the XT1, the buttons on back just don't protrude near enough. I seen a video where some guy puts moulded glue onto the direction buttons and the focus assist, might not be a bad idea
Yeah, there was some amazing light around my work in the last week, but my phone was in no way up to the challenge. The other one I always get is when I go into London for work (about once a month or so) there always seems to be great light and spectacular skies on the way back. Which, trapped on a speeding train, I can do absolutely nothing with! The photographer's lament...There's been some gorgeous light in these parts over the past few days when the sun's been lower in the afternoons, the leaves on the trees look like they're lit up.

TBH I find the buttons on the GSE better than the black one I tried. Not the best buttons in the world still, but better. They have a more positive click too but somehow still don't feel the quality they should. I also find the rear control dial doesn't protrude as much as I'd like to get an assured contact with you thumb. Minor gripes, but not sure why Fuji didn't make them better.The nipple for me too!

Didnt know there was a nipple involved,now im interested .If I get on with the XT1 I will probably consider the upgrade to the XT2 but the only real advantage for me would be the dual card slot and focus point joystick nipple thing.

Youve just given me an idea, just nipping over to the df thread
Hi Pete, IMO I think it's a big step up in terms of features. Not that I've had chance to use it much. I'm sure someone here will be able to give you a better insight than me. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't regret the upgrade if that's what you thinking.

wOOOw beautiful capture Ash, it looks lovely and fresh, love the subtleness tones in the sky, great processing there. So which pre-set is this on the X-T10.....?......not CC, your personal pre-set I'm guessing ?Another from what is rapidly becoming a "series" of desaturated London - might actually have to take a day to deliberately go and shoot to make it a proper series, rather than just grabbing a few shots between meetings!
The nipple and the multi-tilt screen were the main drivers for me. The extra resolution was also welcome, but not as noticeable as I thought. Not bothered about the speed, but shutter lag is certainly improved. Had the grip and sold it to Barrysprout of this parish, who has yet to source a camera to fit it on!If I get on with the XT1 I will probably consider the upgrade to the XT2 but the only real advantage for me would be the dual card slot and focus point joystick nipple thing.

It is said that the main purpose of the new batteries is better handling of high temperatures when using motor drive or video. Otherwise I think the best 3rd party are White Ex-pro ones.
Make your mind up!!!
Sorry! A senile moment. I'm sure you understand.
Thanks for reply Stephen L. I will hardly be using video maybe the odd couple of minutes on holidays. Seen a vid on YouTube by Damian Brown who recommended the Expro White. At the moment I seem to be going through a battery very quickly but I think that's down to still getting used to setting up the camera and constantly changing things and looking at menus all the time lol. Once I get used to my setup and just take photos I'm guessing they will last longer. Do your u know if the Expro White can be charged in the Fuji charger or do you need the Expro charger?
They can be charged in the Fuji charger, but I invested in a twin charger - can't remember the make - which can fast-charge and displays charge progress in percentage. Think I got it from Amazonia.

Only too well.Sorry! A senile moment. I'm sure you understand.
George , please don't use the words "perk" and "nipple" in the same sentence.I thought you'd perk up Chris, as soon as that was mentioned.
