Also need a new tripod head. I hate the off axis ball head on my gitzo, and also want an Arca Swiss compatible one. Needs to be cheap though!
This was back on Eigg in May, on day 4 of 7. From the exposure time, I'd guess this was probably with an ND filter, on the usual 18-55 zoom. Pixel-peeping corner mavens may find the lower right of this shot of interest, as there's plenty of detail. I can't find much to complain about!

HI All.
I asked this a while back so apologies in advance - but what are the Fuji macro shooters using (ie lens and flash) ?
I'm trying a 55-200 with a Raynox - on paper it should be fine (plenty of magnification and working distance and the lens is sharp) but I'm not really getting on with it very well (struggling to get decent sharp shots).
Any suggestions please?
Cheers
Ps - I was hoping to get the 80mm macro but that doesn't look to be coming any time soon
Ignore me - worked out how to use the search!
Go on, share - what was the issue and how is it solved?
Hi John - basically just trying to work around the lack of a proper 1:1 macro Fuji lens.
I think Zeiss make one, pretty sure they had one displayed at a trade show I went to earlier this year
Hi John - basically just trying to work around the lack of a proper 1:1 macro Fuji lens. A few are using a Nikkor 105 with adapter (and manual aperture ring) - I am pondering a Samyang 100mm.
It'd be a hell of a lot easier if they would just get on with the 80mm Macro!
Zeiss 50mm is 1:1
I was bored so I went a bit mad processing a couple of shots of Sacre Coeur

Will a neighbor not sign for it buddy?Was supposed to be a great day today.. my new Fuji xt1 is arriving. Had the txt from Dpd, should be delivered between 15.11 and 16.11.
Brilliant, I'll be home by work from then, just one more job in Bath to do, then climbing up one of Baths many hills in my lorry and bang.. the clutch goes.
So now sat at the side of the road in a cold, wet lorry, with a Goddamn irritating beep of the hazard lights constantly going and the recovery won't be here for at least another 3 hours and I've been here for about 1 hour already.
Worst part is, I won't get home anywhere near in time to take delivery of the camera. :banghead:
So no idea when I'm going to be able to get it now. Unless my wife can bunk of work early to get home in time, which is unlikely.
Just gonna sit here and cry for another few hours.
You can tell DPD to leave the parcel at a local shop where you/wife can pick it up later.Was supposed to be a great day today.. my new Fuji xt1 is arriving. Had the txt from Dpd, should be delivered between 15.11 and 16.11.

nearest pickup shop is Halfords which is still miles away and it won't be ready until tomorrow afternoon :-(You can tell DPD to leave the parcel at a local shop where you/wife can pick it up later.
Well I've just got one if those new 7artisan lenses, the 7.5mm jobbie. I'm off to China in a few weeks so I hope it arrives on time. For the price it's worth a punt.
I wonder is their 25 f/1.8 anyway decent? For the money might be worth a punt.

for looking.,
George.
For 60 quid off ebay or a little more from Amazon it's almost disposable. I'd get one myself if I didn't have fuji's 35.
