The background looks like a painting! Weird but I like it
Mr postman's just delivered this morning a XF10-24mm f/4, awesome.
Now I get it, the penny has finally dropped. Macvisual work for Fuji, infiltrating this forum to "make" us buy expensive Fuji glass ! He's a plant

X-Pro1 - XF90mm - @ f/2 - iso 400
The Fuji zooms are as good as any other Darren, quality glass and well built!
Not very well IMO. I use the EVF when using zooms.Do you use the zooms with the OVF or EVF. I never owned a zoom with my X-Pro 1 so not sure how they work with the OVF
That would be a nice perk to be a Fuji X photographer like Zack Arias, the freebies !!!!If only I did.........!!!!!!!.........means then I wouldn't need to buy the Fuji goodies, they'd be free. LoL

This pic is hot off the press from this morning, I really don't do much 'street photography'. I was intrigued by the expression/stance of the showroom dummies in relation to the street piper.
I call this capture; 'Onlookers'

X-Pro1 - XF56mm - iso 320 - shot at f/1.2
Yip, that XF56mm is as sharp as a sharp thing in the corner of sharpness.
X-Pro1 & XF56 is a GREAT combo ok. Every 'X' shooter needs a 56 in their photographic life!
Bought one yesterday, nearly bought a 90 as well but bottled it. Should really sell the 6D + 24-70 first!
Mr Postman delivered a XF55-200mm yesterday, haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
wOw Austria, our favourite place, we motorcycled there two years ago on holiday on the touring Suzuki V-Strom motorcycle, such an amazing place. We'd love to move there at some stage full time!
Have fun...!
Hello fellow X-Pro 1 users,
I never cleaned my camera's sensor.
Bit scared that I might damage it somehow.
What do you guys use to clean your camera's sensor?
I have some spots which shows on the photos, not too many but I still want to get rid of them.
I also use X-T1 and would like to use same system to clean both camera's sensors.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Links to videos showing the process would be useful.
Cheers
I'm not a Fuji user but hopefully it's all the same so here's what I do...
I use a slice cut from an old credit card, Pec Pads and Eclipse fluid as follows...
I wrap a Pec Pad around the slice of credit card and tape it into place.
I then add a drop of Eclipse fluid to the tip and after just a second or two to let any excess evaporate I clean the sensor by starting at one side and moving to the other in one movement.
I then take a series of test shots and if there are any residual dust bunnies left I repeat the process.
The reason I use a slice cut from an old credit card and Pec Pads is that there's a lot of give in the credit card and it's therefore next to impossible to apply too much pressure and once I'd bought a bottle of Eclipse fluid and a pack of Pec Pads I knew I wasn't going to run out of swabs any time soon.
I do appreciate that cleaning the sensor can be a daunting process but I think it helps to remember that what you are cleaning in a piece of glass in front of the sensor and unless you scratch it all will be well... My Sony and MFT cameras hardly ever need a wet clean but back when I had Canon DSLR's they needed cleaning all the time and I honestly lost count of the number of wet cleaned I did and all without incident or damage
I think that once you get over the fear you'll do fine and as I said, I've lost count of the number of wet cleans I've done and I've never damaged anything.
Good luck with it.
