The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

How are you managing to post more than 2 images at a time…?
You can post up to 8 images per post, you just need to copy the bb codes if posting from Flickr.
 
Been busy lately with work and DIY projects, but managed to snap something today.
This shop has been around since the 80s in Southend on sea and sold fancy dress costumes and other party paraphernalia.
I remember being dragged there by my mum & dad when I was about 8, because I had to buy a replacement whoopee cushion for my friend using my pocket money - due to popping his one during a sinister episode involving too much inflation and a nappy pin :ROFLMAO:
Looks like it is gone now :(

I bought an 18mm XF. That means by accident I now own all the launch lenses? 18, 23, 35, 56?

Thought I put it on the camera that it launched with for some photos...which btw, it does shows its age, like massively. In many many ways. Mostly due to the body. Also bought the Squarehood, very exspensive piece of plastic but I can't find anything else that i like.

Some samples, with lots of processing.

The 2 above I ran denoise in LR, the ones below I purposely did not.

Hate to burst your balloon Raymond but the launch lenses were 18, 35 & 60mm.
 
Probably a bit of a daft question. But if shooting JPEG and raw. Do you use a smaller card for JPEGs, or just keep it simple and load up the same in both slots?

Just put two cards in of the same performance/size and shoot RAW+JPG (ie backup) to each card, then if you have a card failure you still have both RAWs and JPGs - there really is very little point in shooting RAW to one and JPG to the other

Just had a look back my old emails and found my receipt from Wex for my X-pro 1 with the 18mm and a Bellingham digital bag for £903.99 including delivery and the offer of a free 60mm or 35mm. Think I went for the 60 as someone was selling the 35 at a good price.


I could probably make a profit now!

I used to shoot raw to 1 and jpg to 2, that would leave me space to save movies to 2.

I figured my jpgs were never so far out that they'd be unusable in the event that card 1 failed. I never shot professionally so my risk tolerance was high.

My initial thought when reading, it's probably about the same price used right now :ROFLMAO:

I always shoot raw to both cards when using my Sony as I’ve never liked SOOC JPEGs , but I shoot raw and JPEG with my X100VI, however it only has one card slot so I don’t have any backup :runaway:

:ROFLMAO: Put that "Lab Coat" away, and enjoy your Vi ;)
 
I haven't shot any video on any of the cameras I've had, starting from a D40 ;)
 
Question guys and gals,

I have the new Fuji 56mm f1.2 currently on my x-e5 but the balance isn’t great, I’m think of picking up either the xt-5 or the x-h2, which way would you go. Main use would be portraiture and some street. TIA
