  1. Thanks for all the feedback. Lot's of things to consider and also alternative ideas. All my considerations have start from one thing: sometimes I feel I need a wider view than 14mm. Hence the decisions to search the market for a good wider option. Maybe I should really try the Samyang 12mm first. I has an interesting price of €300 and it sound like a terrific value for the money. So the masterplan just changed (again ): sell the 18 and get the 12 Samyang. And if I still miss it wider, then the 10-24 will be on my radar again in a few weeks/months.
  2. Well, if the source is right, the New Fuji Gear will be announced at 01:00 AM New York Time (06:00 London Time). I'll be ready for an intensive Live Blogging Session on FujiRumors. http://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-t10-and-xf90mm-to-be-announced-at-0100-am-new-york-time-0600-am-london-time/
  3. I think I'm getting closer http://www.fujirumors.com/x-t10-eu-price-correction-its-chf-and-not-e-849-for-the-kit-most-eu-countries-will-sell-body-for-e699-and-kit-for-e799/ I mixed up CHF with EUR.
  4. Little but important Correction... the X-T10 kit price is of CHF 849 and not € 849. The kit will sell for €799 in Europe (with possible changes according to the country). Body for €699. http://www.fujirumors.com/x-t10-eu-price-correction-its-chf-and-not-e-849-for-the-kit-most-eu-countries-will-sell-body-for-e699-and-kit-for-e799/
  5. Ture, that's why I said in the rumor, that the price can differ from country to country in Europe... but it shouldn't be to far off from this rumored pirce (+/- €50 I think) Since the $ / € conversion for electronic gear is often 1:1, and the X-T10 with 16-50 will cost $899 in USA, I guess that it could cost €899 in Europe (instead of €849).
  6. I don't think it's possible. You have to send it to your Smartphone/Tablet first, edit it there, and then send it to the printer.
  7. So the price for the X-T10 kit won't be of €849 in Europe?
  8. Ok, thanks for the feedback and the links. here are my thoughts so far: I'd need the 10-24 especially for shooting at the wider end. For the long end, I have 2 other lenses covering it (23, 18-55), So I don't care if the 10-24 is not a great performer at 24. Between the 18mm and 14mm I'm tempted to keep the 18mm. It's optically not as good as the 10-24, but it's a compact lens (and faster). The 14mm is a great lens, and faster than the 10-24, but the 10-24 has OIS, so I often won't really miss the one stop advantage of the prime (I'll mainly use it for landscape). So I basically decided to: 1) buy the 10-24 and 2) sell the 14mm Now thinking to keep or sell the 18mm. Maybe I'll keep it, and set this rule: if I don't use it during the summer holidays, I'll sell it in September.
  9. The Price Leaked! - Fujifilm X-T10 will cost for $799 (body) / with XC 16-50 for $899 / with 18-55 lens: 1,099.95 - XF 90mm for $949! More here: http://www.fujirumors.com/the-x-t10-price-x-t10-for-799-with-xc-16-50-for-899-with-18-55-lens-1099-95-xf-90mm-for-1099/
  10. Ok... I'm just about to take a decision. Since there are never good X-deals where I live (damn!), and I'm lusting after the 10-24 since it has been launched, I'm thinking to sell the 18mm and 14mm in order to get the XF 10-24, which is still expensive here (about €1000). I'll make my decision very soon (early next week) Do you think it makes sense to sell 2 primes (18 and 14) to get the 10-24? Or should I keep at least one between the 18 and 14? Which one? Sell them both? Decisions.. decisions
  11. If you are in the market for a Vertical Grip for X-T1, take a look at the EACHSHOT Vertical Grip. You can get it $63 ($80 with remote control) – €83 – £60. More here: http://www.fujirumors.com/get-a-grip-cheap-vertical-grip-for-x-t1-the-eachshot-vg-xt1-80-e83-60/
  12. This is a very cool tool! I used it a lot during my travel in Cambodia for the fair trade X-shirts Just a tip: the printed Images tend to be a bit overexposed sometimes. I generally slightly underexpose the image in the internal RAW converter and then print it for the people This is just one of the many shots I was able to snatch, with the promise of a little print. She was really looking forward to get it P.S.: Enjoy your travel in Indonesia
  13. It's from a new source, but it seems that the price of the X-T10 kit (16-50 II) will be of €849 in Europe. More here: http://www.fujirumors.com/fuji-x-t10-will-cost-e849-in-europe-30-cheaper-than-x-t1-new-source/
  14. The XF16mmF1.4 is right now available in USA and UK: http://www.fujirumors.com/its-in-stock-xf-16mmf1-4-available-in-usa-and-uk/

  16. It comes from a trusted soruce, so 100% correct: the XF 90mm will weight 540g, a minimum focus disance of 0.6. Size: 75mm x105mm. and according to digicame-info, the price should be of 118.000 Yen ($989) Digicame-info also leaked size & weight of the X-T10: 118.4mm x 82.8mm x 40.8mm and the Weight 381g Read the full list on FujiRumors: http://www.fujirumors.com/more-specs-about-the-xf-90mm-fuji-x-t10/
  17. Great spot, Great Price! That's even $100 off compared to the already rebated price on BHphoto and Adorama! Just put the deal on FujiRumors! Thanks
  18. I'm afraid that this is not possible, for technical limits (slower processor, no phase detection pixels...) and, as other said, the X-PRO2 is long rumored to come within this year. So I guess Fuji will pack all these sweet new features in the X-PRO2... and maybe, thanks to the rumored EXR III processor, it should work even better!
  19. I just received an email from a FR-reader with a slightly modified X-T10. Some thought that the top plate is to fat. So he made a slimmer version of it. Personally, the more I see, the more I like the X-T10 as it is now. So, here is the mock up vs real X-T10
  20. I once wrote a series of "Bags for you X" articles, with a wide selection of mostly vintage bags, but also backpacks. Some include also polls where you can vote your favorite bag. http://www.fujirumors.com/bags-for-your-x/ http://www.fujirumors.com/bags-for-your-x-part-ii/ http://www.fujirumors.com/perfect-travel-backpack-mindshift-rotation180-panorama/ http://www.fujirumors.com/bags-x-part-iv-camslinger-mirrorless-heroes/
  21. Waiting for Firmware 4.0, and then I'll share some shots in this category
