Ordered the 90mm - yahooooooooo
That's a result in my book Sir, it's an absolute "Excellent" optic.

If you're going yahooooooooo when you ordered it, then wait until you see the results from it, I own one and I can confidently predict that you will be out of breath before you manage to finish the yahooo
HI all, just purchased a mint X-T2 with 18-55 F2.8-4 and Grip from Greenninja67 (thanks a lot Terry) in these very classifieds. It's my second time with the X-T2, with me having purchased one last year but then sending it back for refund shortly afterwards, as I had buyers remorse (or is that guilt) as I had way too much equipment as it was. However I since lightened my equipment considerably (mainly getting rid of all my Nikon FF gear - D810, D750 and about 6 lenses). So I thought i'd give it another go alongside my Olympus M43 gear.
Having persevered for a few days with the X-T2's idiosyncrasies (especially after being a Nikon user for 35 or more years), I'm starting to really warm to it, and am liking what I'm seeing come off my printer. I don't plan on building a huge system around it (famous last words), but have already found that just having one lens (the 18-55), severely limits my options. I'm therefore looking for some advice. My thinking for vacations and general shooting, is getting focal lengths at least around the 15-200mm range (in 35mm terms) or thereabouts. I'm therefore considering one of two lens line-ups and would appreciate peoples comments who have them. Note I'm not a massive prime sort of guy (although I might add a 35 or 50mm equivalent in the future), so am just for the time being considering these zoom packages.
Option 1
Keep the 18-55 F2.8-4 and add the Fujifilm 55-200mm f3.5-4.8 R LM OIS and the Fujifilm 10-24mm f4 R OIS XF - this would give me a 15-300mm equivalent.
Option 2
Sell the 18-55 F2.8-4 and instead, purchase the Fujifilm 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 WR LM R OIS, and compliment it with the Fujifilm 10-24mm f4 R OIS XF - this would give me a 15-205mm equivalent in a simpler two lens package (albeit the 18-135 would be a slower aperture lens).
Anyone have any thoughts on the above please ?
Maybe in the months to come prime in the 35 or 50mm range but that will be it.[/QUOTE said:Lol I had the same thoughts After completing my 4 lens set up !
I now have 11 x mount primes (n)
Yes, a very clean shot.Clean looking shot George.
Are you using LR to process?

Ok, I've now installed Lightroom 6 on my laptop for my newly arrived XT2, still can't import/open any files via the usual USB card reader, I've did a factory re-set on the XT2, and also updated the firmware on the XT2 as it wasn't up to date from new.
But still no joy.......really don't know why I can't access my files via LR6 (?)
Hi Raymond, just tried that and no joy.Probably because LR6 predates X-T2.
Does it work if you transfer the files into the HDD and import?
Hi Raymond, just tried that and no joy.
Thanks;
Peter
How or where can you do this please..? In the body of the XT2 or in LR6 ?Have you tried updating Camera RAW?

IQ is great. Size is great. I just couldn't get on with the 27mm focal length (not quite wide enough or long enough).Is the XT-10 plus 27mm pancake a decent combo for general use ? (family/portrait mainly)
What's the IQ like ?
I'm happy enough to go with a single lens as I've had enough of carrying multiple bodies/lenses so I'm kind of torn between this combo OR a X100s with it's fixed 23mm f2.
Obviously the XT-10 has the benefit of alternative lenses should I change my mind....
Yes sorry Peter i assumed you had done this but Simon is correct@macvisual you need to update lr6 to the latest version, 6.9 I think, it's one of the options from the help menu near account settings

It's a sharp lens but a strange width and the bokeh isn't great. If it was me personally I would go for the x100s. Other option is an xt10 with an 18-55 great lens for a kit lens.
