  1. My current setup is: X-E2s 14mm 2.8 and Nikon 100mm 2.8 X100T and TCL
  2. So you can't use your X100T without an upgrade? It will sit in a box like your X100S because it didn't get an upgrade? If you can't "capture the moment" because of missing upgrades, I have a feeling it might not be the cameras fault. Thousands of X100T and X100S users seem to do just fine. What "upgrades" are you actually missing?
  3. Never had a problem with the X100T in up to -30 Celsius here in Canada. In really cold temperatures (-8 is not cold!) the hands "die" before the camera. I had a problem in the jungle of Guatemala, though. During +37 and nearly 100% humidity the little cover for the OVF that is required to engage the EVF didn't work anymore (OVF wasn't a problem). After a while the problem fixed itself and I never had a problem ever since.
  4. I think that Paul knows a thing or two about photography, while you only know how to log into a forum...
  5. Teething problems is right. That's why I never buy a camera when it first comes out. I'm not the one who pays full price and does the Beta-testing for the manufacturer. And that applies to all manufacturers, not just Fuji.
  6. Many people on the German sister forum are reporting the same thing.
  7. Even if they would physically fit, I don't think the performance would be what we are used to. The WCL and TCL are specifically calculated for the current X100 lens. As soon as the lens changes, a new set is required to have optimal performance.
  8. On my last trip to Guatemala I had a XT-1 with 16mm 1.4, a 60mm 2.4 and a X100T. I didn't miss anything. 98% of the photos were shot with the 24mm 1.4 and the X100T. Mind you I'm not a tele shooter. Great setup, very light and compact.
  9. One of the main reasons for me liking the X100 series so much is the 35mm equiv. lens. Now the (grain of salt) rumor is out that the X200 will have a 28mm lens. For me this rumor gets more believable as Fuji has hinted to introduce a compact 35mm f2 lens for its interchangeable cameras. It looks to me as Fuji wants to try to make a Leica Q competitor with the X200 and there is nothing wrong with that. In practical shooting conditions 28mm and 35 isn't that far apart and I enjoy using the WCL on occasion, but personally I find the 35mm suits me more. Currently I'm not sure if I would buy a X200 with a 28mm lens as I think I would find myself cropping to 35mm often and the 24MP advantage of the new camera would be gone. It also looks like that Fuji (with the X70) is going the route of digitally cropping and up-scaling the image in jpg mode only if you want to shoot "another focal length", which I find not particularly useful. I think in order to consider a X200 with a 28mm lens, the following should happen: 1. There should be a "real" crop mode a la Leica Q with the option of RAW+JPG or 2. An optional compact TCL which brings the focal length up to 35mm and makes use of the 24mp of the new sensor. What about you? Would you purchase a X200 with a 28mm lens? PS: I'm still hoping the 28mm rumor is false.
