Again what a great service.A big shout out for Fuji service, had the misfortune to drop my 16-55 onto the kitchen floor. While it was still in perfect working and and still sharp the fall had a put a dent into the filter thread so you couldn't attach a filter.
So sent it off to Fuji last Thursday, I mentioned it to them that although it was still in warranty but I had dropped on the floor so I it was accidental damage. I've been waiting for them to contact me all week with an estimate to the cost of the repair but lo and behold I knock on the door yesterday and the 16-55 turned up. All repaired and no charge.
Quality service.
I shoot with an X-E2 and X-T1, and whilst the X-T1 clearly has the bigger evf, unless I shoot one straight after the other, I don't notice the difference in practice. I'm usually too busy trying to work out where the iso dial has gone!!
I have both tbh I can't say it's a vast difference in use and I wear specs it's still bright clear and I can see the full screenOnly thing putting me off going X-T1 to X-T20 is the viewfinder - think I would notice much difference in practice?
Thanks for any replies

I will be tempted even though I now have the X T2 among others in my bag
It's to lure in the curious cats who've been sniffing, but don't want to commit £1500 or so for a body and starter lens. I think it's a great strategy. Offer up 'almost' as good, but keep serious buyers wanting. Personally I think it makes the x100F a bit more of a specialist/collector's thing, as you can have the XT20 plus an 18mm or 27mm for as much.
That's ok, I'll swap you my XT-1 for it, can't have you stressing over which to use from the newer crop
Sorry I have 2 XT1s
They didn't handle the x-f1 inherent fault very well. This stopped me considering them for a while. However it was going to be Fuji or Sony and Sony has had even more negative stories.And if anybody thinks that Fuji customer service has gotten better over time think again, its always been this exceptional from day one!
I had a brand new lens assembly and a service on my original X100 when it was past its 12 month warranty period, this was back in 2012.
The lens assembly didn't need replacing as it was working, I was worried it would suffer the stick aperture blade issue that some early bodies suffered, so it wasn't actually faulty when I sent it in, just mentioned my concern.
Came back within a week fully service with a new lens assembly!
GREAT!
If you're taking the 35mm I'd take an 18mm also for hiking out of that and the 27mm, which is a little close to 35mm for my liking.Could anyone advise me on a light lens to take with me on my travels for day to day? I'm trying to get the smallest lens possible on my XT10 and its going to have to be a 18mm or a 27mm , with the alternative being a X100S/T. It's going to travel across China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand. I'm taking a 18-55 and a 35mm already but I really need something light to climb mountains and hike with.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Fuji refurb shop have the X-T1 with the XF 18-135 lens for £799. If the discount code still works that makes it £719. I'm not sure I need the 18-135 lens and these seem to selling for around £400ish on ebay. Which in effect means the new (refurb) X-T1 body would be £319. Mmmm very tempted.
Yep, either or. It's a good deal both ways. The X-T1 would be a big step up for me personally though from my X-E1. I already have the 18-55 f2.8-4 so the 18-135 might need to go. Danger is that I might want to keep both. DOH.!I'm actually going to do this the other way around - and keep the 18-135mm for £320
My X-T10 came in the same box as the 18-55mm. Wrapped in foam and between two thick foam inserts.Anyone bought a camera and lens combo from the refurb shop, do they come together in a "kit" box or in separate boxes?

True, but the x100f just looks way too cool for school.
Thanks. They all suit mono but I put a colour one in for comparison.Really like these although prefer the B&W one.

Even the mud looks good in mono!
That is a cracker, beautiful spot. I'm jealous, I wish I lived somewhere near scenery like this
Lol the mud comment made me chuckle I said to the wife a few times
Thanks Keith, wish I lived close as well unfortunately its 250 miles away. :-(
The mud there is serious stuff. Some places you just do not want to go. Get in the wrong place with the tide coming in and you are in real trouble.Lol the mud comment made me chuckle I said to the wife a few times
