Thoughts and advice on travelling with X100T only

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Has anyone ever travelled with an X100 series camera only?

 

I am going to be in India for 5 weeks and am seriously considering taking only my X100T. I really don't want to carry lots of camera gear but am also worried I'll regret not taking something with a wider or longer reach...

 

Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated!

I just got back from a three week trip to Australia and was happy with my X100S (converted to infrared) and my X100F. (I had my iPhone for a back-up but the Fuji's were flawless.)

 

But I have not used interchangeable lenses for about 3 years* now and am happy working within the X100 limits.  If I need a wider angle, I just shoot a panorama and crop what I want.  Telephoto shots; I just crop what I want.  Since I rarely do poster sized printing and most is just posted on Flickr and emails to my group, a small section of the original images serves for a great telephoto shot.

 

*My exception is my Pentax 110 film SLR.  My other film cameras are Fuji GSW 690III and a Fuji G617 fixed lens cameras.  I didn't want to bother with film (and weight of the big Fuji 120 Film Cameras) on my international trip so the X100 digitals were perfect.

    • Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.
    • Jerry I found out it's a Cherry Blossom but I can't figure out how to edit it.
    • What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.
    • I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
