DXO have a 50% off Black Friday deal on this weekend
A few more from the Weston-super-Mare Carnival all using my XF 23mm f2. Going by the stats in Lightroom it's by far and away my most used lens.

Yes but I have an XE1 that is 656nm converted and another XE1 and XT1 that are FS converted.You could go for an I. R conversation on one of them
Have you tried Capture One - if not give the free version a try https://www.captureone.com/en/capture-one-express/fujifilmHi All - seeking some advice / perspectives on a RAW editor for RAF files. There seems to be an offer on pretty much all of them at the minute. I have concluded that Capture One is probably a bit much for me so have narrowed it down to DXO Photolab6, ON1 PhotoRAW and Luminar Neo. I’m not much of an editor and as I spend my day in front of a computer screen I‘d rather not spend ages doing edits.
I’m really looking for a simple interface that will get the best out of my images by - reducing noise, offering good exposure adjustments global and localised, and utilising AI to minimise the time.
I‘ve read / watched loads of reviews but I would really appreciate any feedback particularly regarding any idiosyncrasies working with RAF.
Thanks in advance
I found that too, so got an X100V.A few more from the Weston-super-Mare Carnival all using my XF 23mm f2. Going by the stats in Lightroom it's by far and away my most used lens.

Ahh, but neither have IBISYes but I have an XE1 that is 656nm converted and another XE1 and XT1 that are FS converted.
That looks really good. Well caught.View attachment 374455
Taken over the summer at Oulton.
Fuji XT-1 with 100-400mm lens and it is cropped a fair bit. I have put it through Topaz Sharpening.
As much as I would love to get a newer machine I really still like the images from the XT-1

I think I have decided to go for X-Pro 2 rather than X100T or F. It works out "cheaper" with better/same AF anyway.
(Since I have the lenses that I want)
Especially with all the hipsters looking to buy into the X100 series.
I'm surprised an X-Pro 2 is working out cheaper for you, you do know you have to have a lens too?
No hipster tax to payI'm surprised an X-Pro 2 is working out cheaper for you, you do know you have to have a lens too?
I'm hoping it's a passing fad and there will be loads of cheap X100 series cameras to buy in a few monthsEspecially with all the hipsters looking to buy into the X100 series.
I have a 23/1.4, 35/1.4 and a 56/1.2 already...so yeah, it will work out cheaper
No hipster tax to pay
Ah, I see As a package surely the XPro 2 and lens is more expensive? Or at least I can't find a cheap combination.
Well, I was happy enough with the price of the X100s I bought but it sadly had to go back. The X100f which replaced it was reasonably priced looking at what some are going for but much more expensive than something like a Panasonic GX80 and 17mm f1.8. The advantage of the X100 range over the XPro for me is that the X100 is more compact.
I have a feeling i will end up using the EVF more than the OVF as I don't like the framing "jumping" when half press the shutter.
I just LOVE design of the look of the body....i think it is sooooo cool. And since I am not buying it for it's technical and photographic prowess...but more "my heart wants this", once I realise that then the X-Pro 2 becomes a clear choice. If it's all about tech then I'd save up for the X-T4/5.
On the other news, my iPhone 14 Pro came today. So now I have 3 lenses in my pocket at all times with a 48mp sensor lol
I can't speak for any other Fuji camera as the X-T4 is my first, but I shoot a lot of motorsport and I've found the AF to be absolutely fine on the X-T4Hi all, apologies for jumping in on this thread, I have been following for the last couple of weeks in the run up to the xt 5 being released and am really impressed by the photos and info being given on here but the price is putting me off a little.
I currently use an Olympus m4/3 camera and fancy a change, I’m really drawn to Fuji with the ability to change aperture etc done with dials on top of the camera.
Would I notice much difference if I went for the xt4 instead of the xt5? My main issue with the Olympus is the lack of focus tracking quality as I mainly shoot wildlife and trains alongside landscape.
Many thanks.
Yep. Huge difference in the AF capabilities. The T5 is way better for eye af. The animal detection is superb (not faultless). I used to have Olympus OM-1. I’d definitely recommend the X-H2S for wildlife. The stacked sensor is a real bonus. Obviously the T5 shares the same algorithm. But just can’t keep up when pushed.Hi all, apologies for jumping in on this thread, I have been following for the last couple of weeks in the run up to the xt 5 being released and am really impressed by the photos and info being given on here but the price is putting me off a little.

The XPro 2 does look very nice but personally I can't see myself going that way as I have the Sony A7. I do see the appeal of the controls but as the bulk and weight creep up I personally see less reason to go that way. As always good luck to those who love these cameras as if you want that style of control and handling they are competing with limited competition, Leica and the Panasonic LX100 maybe? I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
Very nice dog portrait style capture Dave, and a nice punchy mono presentation.
You change the aperture on the lens ring, rather than the top of the camera, that is for shutter speed/ISO/exposure compensation, but it is one of the best things about shooting Fuji.Hi all, apologies for jumping in on this thread, I have been following for the last couple of weeks in the run up to the xt 5 being released and am really impressed by the photos and info being given on here but the price is putting me off a little.

thats interesting, I can see how changing the aperture on the lens makes things easier.You change the aperture on the lens ring, rather than the top of the camera, that is for shutter speed/ISO/exposure compensation, but it is one of the best things about shooting Fuji.
If the price of the X-T5 puts you off, the X-T3 has the same sensor and autofocus as the X-T4, but lacks IBIS and the silly screen. It is also smaller and likely cheaper.
