The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Spent the last few days at Dungeness, staying in the Fog Signal Building (formerly owned by Trinity House for the tetsing of lighthouse equipment and the closest building to the sea!), most of the images I took were with the Leica Q3 43 (and they will appear over time in the Leica thread), but early one morning I went out with the X-H2S and the XF50-140mm

I’ve got, after trading in all my Nikon stuff, 350 quid in credit still sat in my WEX account. I’m ashamed to say that I can’t decide what to spend it on. Never been a problem in the past. :p

I wonder how the 55-200 might do on the Xt5 sensor. Maybe a nice little prime just for fun, (suggestions?), or be boring and upgrade my memory cards, (they chug a bit on the Xt5.)
 
This thread brings back a lot of memories of the early Fuji X-series days. It’s interesting reading everyone’s thoughts on the X-T1, especially the discussions around autofocus, the viewfinder and how Fuji was shaping the lineup. The comments about waiting for the “unicorn kit” made me laugh too.

I love the atmosphere of #3 with the part visible telephone kiosk and light.

Viltrox 27mm pro f1.2 is nice (but not little).

How to Become a Fujifilm Ambassador (X-Photographer)

Former Fujifilm UK X-Photographer Kevin Mullins explains how ambassador status really works, what Fujifilm looks for, and why it is earned, not chased.

I 'had' a relationship with an X-Ambassador a few years ago, ran some workshops for his company (brand), but we fell out when he crossed me. He subsequently quit being an ambassador (just before he was pushed!).

As Kevin Mullins says, Fujifilm change their ambassadors to seek the market that they are chasing. The average age of the ambassodors has decreased as Fujifilm chase customers in younger demographics, its just business.

What you laughing at Trev ? Just buy it and mate it with your (secret) Black VI and make a Grey one, might satisfy your Q3 Metal Grey fetish, or is it me who's got that ? :ROFLMAO:

In you listing you've mentioned the lens hood and state that this makes the camera weather sealed but I thought it needed a filter for it to be weather sealed?
