That would look great framed and on a wall, fantastic image.
Magic. Love it.

Love the light, contrast and use of negative space. Seriously raising the bar.
I put it down to the X-T3
Called into Jessops today to drop off my tradein and they had a hands-on session with the X-T3 plus the new 8-16mm XF lens. Only £2k (!) or thereabouts... This was the only one in the country allegedly . It's wide! But as big and as heavy as my 16-55 and no filter thread.
But which country was that?Haha allegedly? There was one at a WEX touch and try yesterday too.

56mm apd finally arrived this morning. Looks good as new too. Quick snap with it of the other parcel that arrived today too.
Glad you found one used.
I almost sold my regular 56/1.2 a few months back until LCE only offered me £400 for it....I rather keep it for that price, glad I did now the X-T2 is so cheap.
thanks. me too!
its considerably faster on the newer cameras that the x-t1 too. The standard 56mm is worth at least £500 used.

Nice, I need to decide what to buy for my XT3. Head say buy a 16-55 to accompany my 14mm and maybe a manual prime for some length (Canon FD maybe)
Heart says I want another 23mm f1.4 though...
23mm f1.4 is a must.
OK, it's down to the battery. Put a 126S battery in the camera and all CH options available up to 30fps.
Put a 126 non 's' in it and only option is 8fps. And then, even if you have an 's' battery in camera, if you add battery grip with plain old Fuji own 126, or 3rd party batteries in the grip, it reverts back to 8fps maximum!!!
Bizarre. I wonder if that's intended...
I’m in the market for a 56 if you want to move it on, I’m out of the UK until Tuesday, let me know if you want to sell.....cheersI had to haggle to get it even to £400. I bought it new from the same store, put the box away and the lens has been sat on my desk untouched for 9 months so I thought I sell it instead of being a paperweight. I'd get the X-T2 when its price used hit under £500 like the X-T1 did.

That is an absolutely stunning image, I am blown away by the inter-play of light, colour, and shapes, wow, keep going down this route.
That is a stunner!
Not at all, it might be inspiring you to get out and shoot more because it's new, but the images are all you! It is your unique style too, not Eggleston's - even he was influenced by the likes Frank and Bresson, but he moulded that influence into his own unique style. I think you have yours too have more faith in you!
Love the recent images btw, the cafe table keeps catching my eye
fantastic composition, refreshing and creative.
Really hearing good feedback on the XT-3 in regards to AF, low-light AF, Eye-AF and the sensors colour output / ISO /DR abilities.
Wonder if it’s close enough to FF in high-ISO wedding scenario’s.
I guess from my point of view, I am just spoiled by full-frame and the technical specifications of the Sony's (Eye-AF etc) however the Fuji system is hard to ignore.Considering the X-T2 was already good enough for weddings, I would think so. Hardly the most challenging conditions in the world, though the wedding togs would have us believe so

I was attracted to the Fuji XT-2 in the past and made the move from Sony once before, however when I used it at a wedding it fell short in some key area's regardless of what reviews said about it being good at AF-C etc.My camera has eye AF, I think I used it once, not sure ...
I'm attracted by the XT3 too, I personally don't see the huge leap from the XT2 everyone is claiming, but that's ok, it'll make the XT2 a proper bangin' bargain very soon. Keep shipping them off to the used dealers, they'll eventually get fed up and off them for £400

I would be lying if I said the Fuji XT-3 hasn't sparked my interest in Fuji again, luckily I hardly lost anything on both my old Sony and Fuji kit on resale so it wasn't a costly exercise.
Yes I think it was pre-firmware 4, I only had it for about 8 months and then moved back to the more costly Sony system........ there is just something about the Fuji system which attracts me from time to time.Was that pre-firmware 4? It's apparently improved in many ways since, with many saying it's like a new camera. But, if you need faster and have the moolah then why not the 3?
I would want the grip, [enjoyed the T1 more so with the grip attached] which puts the 3 at too high a price for me right now, where I can get a 2 plus grip plus lens for cheaper.

Hope to pick my X-T3 up today from Jessops, phoned them yesterday and they had the lens and spare memory cards in but he said the camera should be in today some time
Did you go for the Silver? I think I would for a change
Yes I went for the silver as liked it on my X-T20 so much, the bloke said Jessops delivery can be between 9.30am and 4pm so I really hope it is today as then I have the weekend to suss some of it out.
Gah! I hate when they give delivery times like that, you wait in all day and then they cancel [happened to me only last Friday, but that was due to the storm] The Silver looks well cool, it stands out a bit more in a crowd but it's got style. Hope it arrives for you, I know the feeling, it's like waiting for Christmas as a kid when we order new gear
