twist ..... :banghead: isn't that what I said!!
That's why I'm saying it's a rip off and the difference tonight is 100 quid.... Like I said.

Don't try and reason with him, David.
I've loads of problems! None revolve around a photography forum or Fuji's cash back offers though.Do you have a problem Ian?

If you want to buy, fill yer boots. If you think it's a rip off, don't. Easy peasy.
Don't get your knickers in a....well, twist.Why are you getting involved and making it your problem then?
Don't get your knickers in a....well, twist.
It's been a long day for me tbh, but really I'm just tired of seeing posts from members who'll argue the most pointless of 'issues' or even look for or create problems to discuss about the latest Fuji or non-Fuji models / offers.
Stop moaning and get involved in positive discussions or y'know, go take photos?
Goodnight all.
Thanks! Maybe next year...Rent a car (I can point you at a place that does reasonable rates!) and head down to Agia Galini for a night or 2 - NOTHING between you and North Africa apart from the occasional fishing boat!
Don't dismiss the Fuji 14mm, as this is very sharp, compact, and takes the same size filters/hood as your existing 18-55mm.
I have the Samyang 12mm (its the second one I've owned, I really didn't rate my first copy), but it rarely comes out of the bag, I much prefer my Fuji 16mm wherever possible.
Well sure, it's a great lens and that 14mm focal length is great, but you remember how he said the 10-24mm was out of his price range? .
Roll up, roll up, cashback deals being announced tomorrow (remember Black Friday often provides additional cashback), some of these are so good, that I think we might see some retail prices go back up, so you might be onto a winner if you buy straight away, but I'm not being quoted on that!!!

50-140 is fantastic and very versatile, I often have it on the H1 for an entire day and just adjust my feet as required, in fact I hate taking it off. Plenty of examples on my flickr with the H1.I'm going to be adding a long'ish Fuji zoom at some stage soon, the two contenders I'm looking closely at are the XF100-400mm and the XF50-140mm, both have their advantages etc, the extra reach would be beneficial but the faster lens is nice also........decisions decisions....
I'll be adding a Fuji 1.4X teleconverter also. Either of these lenses will be used with the X-H1 body.
Any experience/advice/thoughts appreciated. Thank you. Any sample photo's would be appreciated, cheers.

Is anyone using an extended eyecup on the X-T3? I had one (bought ages ago) on the X-T1, and can't for the life of me remember which part it was. All suggestions welcome.
I hadn't realised that about the 10mm, all lenses look about the same size when browsing a list on an online shop.The 10mm is a multi sensor mount lens fitted with a Fuji X mount, its big and heavy comapred with the APS-C designed 12mm, which is re-reassuringly light!!!
The Samyangs do render colours differently to the Fuji lenses, and since they are wide suffer from a certain degree of optical distortion. Don't dismiss the Fuji 14mm, as this is very sharp, compact, and takes the same size filters/hood as your existing 18-55mm.

I have the 12mm and it's a nice lens if you get a good copy. Not really clear how likely or unlikely you are to get a bad one. But it seems to me to be if anything a bit wide for architecture, never mind the 10mm. You're going to get a lot of non-parallel lines...
But I don't really do architecture, only landscape. Since I acquired the 10-24mm, the 12mm has come out less, and I seldom go to 10 or 11 with the zoom. But occasionally...
My 10c would be to get the 12mm and give it a try. If you don't like it, I doubt it will be hard to sell on again.

Here you goPete, can you post a link to your Flickr? I have the 50-140 and I need inspiration.

The skin looks like plastic ,have you done any work at all?
Indeed I have, and I'm well out of practice, as you can see. I will be working on that today to tone it down somewhat.
After sleeping on my thoughts regarding a long'ish Fuji lens, either the 50-140mm or 100-400mm I think the 50-140mm would be more versatile for my style of photography, I probably don't need the longer reach as I don't do birding/wildlife and the slightly faster f/2.8 would suit better for my dog portraiture and landscape photography.
Just out of interest what colour space have you uploaded these in? In post they look fine but when enlarged on my phone they turn grey!

Nice shot - I’m looking to try a couple of legacy lenses myself, which version of the Pentax 50mm are you using please? Also could you recommend any other legacy lenses that are worth buying, landscape, portrait and long range options would be useful to me so any info would be appreciated.I've been trying out a lot of legacy glass recently and am having great fun. I took a Pentax 50mm f2 lens out with my X-T2 today hoping for some autumnal images but found little of note. We were sitting outside a lovely country pub having lunch when we were inundated with bikers - easily 100 bikes and all was noise and chaos. So I ended up photographing the bikes. This is one I lusted after in the early 60s - a Velocette Venom.

Wonderful, will be a shame to see you break up lol

I love the Pentax 50mm f1.7, and the Oly 100mm.I've tried
Vivitar 55mm f2.8 macro by Komine - fabulous lens
Vivitar 135mm f2.8
Pentax 135mm f3.5
Pentax 50mm f2 (used in the Velocette shot)
Helios 58mm f2 - unique bokeh
I've not paid more than £30 for any of them and all are great fun

Agreed, and a good copy of the Takumar 55mm 1.9 or 2.0 is also a very nice lens for no money.I love the Pentax 50mm f1.7, and the Oly 100mm.

My best manual lens is probably the Nikon 105mm 2.5, which is magic, but those aren't quite as cheap.
