The only way I can justify having Leica's is by not having very much of anything else!!!

I suspect it will be hard to beat the Fuji Refurbished Store price on the 70-300 (when they have it in stock)

Haha fair point. I see Leica have a bunch of new stuff too. I'll take a look for you ;)

Yeah that's where I've got a few bits. Almost better than box new, considering they clean and check each one.

The 70-300 is well worth looking at, possibly my most used lens as it's so portable and easy to use. I've got the 50-140 which feels so heavy by comparison and ends up only being used occasionally. Both take the 1.4tc.
I used to have the 100-400 (I think you had one) and really don't miss it's weight.
Worth breathing in mind if you've got knees that buckle!

Yeah knees were why I had to move the bazooka on. I've just got back from holiday and kinda missed the length, but my knees are in bits at the moment. Give it a few days and they'll be back to just screwed lol

And put it towards a 27 mm WR with the aperture ring lol

Just had a look at MPB and they're cheaper than I thought. Hmm, now you've got me thinking. I'm not sure which one I'd find more useful, I think I need to go out and spend a day with each and see how I get on...

I've just had a bit of a tax rebate, so I might have a look at the 23mm pancake... or an X100VI!

If you use the code "LookUp" you can extend the 'free' 48hour hire from Fuji by a further 48hrs at no charge.

Just booked the XF200mm F2 + TC for the Oulton Park Gold Cup weekend in August - only got to stump up the £2,750 deposit now!!!!

Probably a very dangerous thing to do, as no doubt once I've used it, I won't be able to live without it :ROFLMAO:

These are nice, but (and its me) I don't like the grad sky, if anything I'd push the sliders on teh sky teh other way, to give that sun-bleached desert Portra 400 over exposed look!

I guess the sky is a bit marmite. No grad used, just contrast, and dehaze (`cause it was bloody hot 115f). I have lots of variant options to play with though ;)

Just came here to post this. I've got an X100VI being delivered on Tuesday until Friday... going to hold off on buying the 23mm pancake just yet :ROFLMAO:

Yeah... I got a few *Atomic* processed ones, as I really liked the processing in the film "Asteroid City". But that`s even more marmite

I sometimes find the sky has this gradation naturally, even without the use of dehaze so it didn't strike me as being odd tbh. Lovely shots of a stunning place, I'd really like to go back one day.

Thanks, Toby. It was a very blue sky, but only had 15 minutes on the landing unfortunately, so not much time to go very far.
I have a bunch from the helicopter though and managed to avoid a lot of reflections. Photoshop has helped in removing most, which was good.

Likely going to be sending my XT5 for trade in to get another X100VI ;)

Hmmm, except I am only being offered £1k by MPB and WEX for a like new X-T5 and 16-50 :(

Loss of £900 in 3 months. Plus got to find another £600 for an X100VI.

Must be getting tight in my old age, but even man maths can’t make that maths add up. Skulks off to the corner :exit:

Which 16-50mm? They'll sell a like new X-T5 for around £1150

That's shocking.
Id be tempted to just get the 23 pancake, and deal with all that extra thickness ;)
