X-H1
Look out for Jack the Ripper!
Presses all the right buttons for me.
Superb.
Thanks very much Pete. I shoot with an Ilford HP5 sim on as I find colour distracting when shooting but this was a Raw file I edited with one of my own presets.Beautiful portrait Kris - lovely subtle light..! How many lights did you use..? Did you select 'Classic Chrome' Fuji pre-set colour for this edit..? Superb Sir!!
Great skills/talent/photography.
Regards;
Peter
Think he saw me and ran off
Cheers Trevor.
Thanks mate, I see your coming back.
ILFI feel an ILC Fuji in my future..again..
I read that some of the 3rd party tubes don't work, and it's a good idea to check the Fuji website for compatability. I'm also thinking of going that way (tubes) or maybe a Raynox lens? I have a Canon macro lens (FD and EF) so could either adapt the FD but it would be manual focus/aperture or the EF with a smart adapter (but at £300 I'm not sure). A set of tubes makes more sense if 3rd party ones work ok. So I'm interested if you get an answer. I also need to adapt my Canon ring flash, hotshoe trigger voltage should be ok, just mounting might be a little more difficult but apparently Canon do an adapter for a 58mm lens thread.Does anyone here use extension tubes on their Fuji? I would like a go at some macro stuff, but likely wont do enough to warrant buying a new lens. Looking on amazon the Fuji tubes cost around £65 for either the 11mm or 16mm.
There are however loads of third party tubes that come as a complete set for around £30 and claim to enable all the same auto features as the fuji tubes. Has anyone used any? Would the original Fuji tubes be better in any way?

That's pretty good for ISO 12800!
The X-E3 looks like a great camera, it look like a great middle ground piece of kit between an X100F and and X-T3 or even H1, especially if you already have a load of lenses.My best to date so far was over 20,000 iso in a night club with a Fuji X.

And zoom lenses?I had a set of Meike macro tubes the last time I shot with Fuji. They cost about £25 and they were just fine, AF worked pretty good - at lesser magnifications at least.
[edit] just checked your link, that looks like the ones I had, they're grand. I used to use them with the 35 1.4, with both tubes you get decent macro. They would work better with a shorter FL but then the working distance is reduced, anything below 23mm and the lens would be touching the subject, so I'd stick to using a 35mm or 50mm with them
And zoom lenses?
XT3 | 35mm 1.4 | F9 | 1/125 | ISO 80
Great info thanks.For zoom lenses I prefer to use a Raynox, it's more suited to longer FL. The longer the focal length the more magnification with the raynox, the opposite to macro rings where shorter FL offers more.
Since I got the Raynox 250 I've never felt the need for tubes tbh, as with the Raynox you can just snap it on and off quickly [at least any lens with filter thread between 52 and 67mm] - my 50F2 for example requires a 46 to 52mm step up ring to properly attach the Raynox, but I've discovered it clips on nicely with the lens hood reversed. The Raynox 250 on the 50mm offers about same as a 16mm tube on a 35mm, in around 0.6x - for 1:1 I would need 100mm+, so any of the tele lenses would work great. I was using an adapted Canon tele lens for a while but now that's gone, looking at something like the 50-230, or a vintage prime
Great info thanks.
Looks like I might go Raynox on the 50-230.
I'd be interested in fitting the Raynox to the lens which is 58 dia then the Canon adapter (58 dia) to attach the ring flash to the Raynox.
Looks like I might need step-up rings, although as the Raynox clips it might not hold the weight of the ring flash?
Very nice still life style Fujigraph, liking this one very much.

This was the view from the back of the house this morning. The colours changed in a matter of seconds, and before I could get out in the back garden.

And zoom lenses?
Well out of curiousity, I have a MCEX-16 coming on Wednesday (minty from MPB). Had to see what it can do attached to the 80mm. Couldn`t resist
I've stuck mine on the 60mm and you're almost touching the subject
