No, I'm not a troll.
 
LOL.
 
As I stated earlier, I might have "messed up", by battery mismanagement and wrong expectations.
 
I use original Fuji batteries and chargers.
 
I was pretty sure I addressed that.
 
As stated earlier, and echoed by others, is that mirrorless cameras and batteries have to be managed different.
 
Don't expect DSLR performance and management methods to be the same in all cameras.  
 
Specifically, the batteries should be freshly charged.
 
Mine, as I admitted earlier, were charged and rotated at random over several weeks.
 
That will work with Canon DSLR's, but not so it seems with this type of battery.
 
Of significance is that on extended outings where the power is not available, and/or given the time to slowly recharge batteries, can make it difficult to manage batteries.
 
I have frequently been forced to wake up every two hours all night long after shooting until bedtime and having a morning shoot the next day to rotate batteries. Having two grips would help...I only have one. That's being resolved.
 
Now, this  probably isn't an issue for most shooters.
 
It can be for others, especially those who are considering switching from a DSLR to a Fuji for PJ work (to whom this thread was sort of directed towards)
 
The forums are about sharing/learning form others, and the lessons here are:  
 
1. Keep your batteries freshly charged. Storage over long periods will reduce the charge. Rotate batteries in a reliable manner ( I have numbered all my batteries and rotate).
 
2. You may wish to evaluate whether you need to have boost mode on all the time. I haven't noticed a difference.
 
In the end I didn't buy a Canon 5dmk4.
 
I couldn't fathom going without live exposure preview and didn't want the size, expense, and weight especially with a two body system!
 
I actually would retitle this thread, if I could, to "Battery Management For Extended PJ Outings".
 
I was shocked to see this thread highlighted at Fujirumors....
 

 
In the end I admit user error/false expectations.
 

 
I should not have taken a practice that worked with one system and applied it to another.
 
Ie; who gives a rats butt about batteries with a DSLR, they last forever.
 
That doesn't apply to mirrorless.
 
So there you have it.
 
Should one use this camera system to run off to a war zone or disaster area with?
 
That's up to the individual user...only they can decide.

ps: One could easily have viewed my profile and website to see I'm not a troll. This isn't dpreview please be respectful in the forums.

I seldom shoot more than a few pictures at a time, but for comparison: currently at a jazz festival after the second day, 455 shots still at the first battery with about 1/3 left in it. X-T10, 90mm (i.e. no OIS), EVF+Eye mode, CH, no chimping, jpg+raw. Batteries: I have three, they are numbered and I rotate them, two are aftermarket and they are as good as the original.
 
Poor bass, had a cold, had to wear a hat.

GFX50s 110/2
 

We had two weeks of great autumn weather recently but I spent them on the roof of my house sanding and varnishing the wooden beams, poor me. I have hardly any pictures this year.
 
 

90mm

These want to join the party:
 

I have it from silkypix.eu, it was an upgrade from V6. What problems ? The silkypix.eu website seems to be working just fine right now, both with Chrome and with Edge. You are welcome.

Hello,
 
The next shot is a Sunrise on the Lago di Braies in the Dolomites, With the Tre Cime, It's certainly the most visited place in the Dolomites.
In autumn the place look so peaceful, it's complicated to achieve a perfect reflection as there is often wind on the surface of the lake.
I had a bit of luck as 10 minutes after the shot, the reflection completly disappeared.

Have a nice day !

Well my friends I went and done it!
 
Some of you guys who have been here a while may recall my daughter "borrowed" my X-T1 and my "don't leave home without it lens" the Fuji 18-55.  For the last several months I've been photographing using my primes only -- the fabulous 16 f1.4, the 23 1.4, 35 1.4, and 60 2.4 plus the 55-200 zoom.  And I loved doing that.  I've truly enjoyed making images as I have to be slower, and more thoughtful in the process plus, let's face reality, the primes will always beat a zoom with regards to sharpness, and micro-contrast among other things.
However, the 18-55 is a lens I cannot live without!  I love it.  There I said it.  If I loved it any more I'd have to name it and provide it it's own ss number for tax purposes.  
I do plan on continuing to use primes for most of my images as I really enjoyed using them and have weened myself off the zoom, but I will feel much better knowing my 18-55 is back in my bag just in case I need it!
 
To be completely honest:  I looked at the 16-55 2.8.  Many of you who "know me" know that I've said I would never purchase this lens, and it's brother the 50-140 2.8 due to 1) the weight  and 2) price.  I looked at the 16-55 2.8, i thought about it, but I just couldn't bring myself to purchase this heavy, and expensive lens when for a quarter of the price my 18-55 works wonders, is super tack sharp, and has provided me with YEARS of use -- my original 18-55 was the kit lens that came on my Fuji X-E1 I purchased back in February 2013!
 
This image below is one of over 16,000 images I have taken in various locations ranging from Key West, to Prince Edward Island in Northern Canada between mid-July, and early November.  I believe I "lost" the 18-55 to my daughter when I returned from the Keys and was prepping to head north -- this image was in fact taken with the 18-55 lens.
 
So, I'm now whole again and I couldn't be happier knowing it's there in case I need it.
 
PS:  Here in the Classifieds I'm offering for sale my Zeiss/Touit 12mm F2.8 lens.  Check it out if you are in the market for a wide-angle for your Fuji!
