  1. Same problem with X100V, reconfiguring WiFi access didn't help. Guess I will have to wait for Fuji app update...
  2. And I meant to say that since the latest firmware updates, I really don't notice a difference in focussing speed between the two cameras. The EVF is nicer in the X-T2, especially with the vertical battery grip installed (the frame rate is higher), and it is has a flippy screen (which I don't use that often). But that's about it. Go with your instincts.
  3. With the longer/heavier lenses I prefer to use the XT-2. I don't have the 16-55 f/2.8 but I do have the 100-400, which is Fuji's largest, and recently I bought the 80mm f/2.8 macro (also heavy). My reason for using heavy glass on the XT-2 is because I normally have the vertical battery grip installed, this balances much better with the large lenses. Also, the extra shutter release button for vertical shooting is ergonomically better in every way. None of these reasons matter for the smaller lenses which is why they are better suited to the X-Pro2, both aesthetically and ergonomically. There are some lenses that work on both cameras such as the 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.2, and you often see an X-Pro2 combined with these. But if I didn't have the vertical battery grip for the X-T2, the difference wouldn't be so clear. Having said that, I am happy using my right eye for the X-Pro2 and the left eye for the X-T2. If you have a strong eye preference either way, use that to guide you as well.
  4. Here's another. 16 frames at f/5.6 1/30 sec, stacked. For best results, I am turning off the OIS. Obviously freehand at 1/30 isn't going to work.
  5. Here's my first test with the 80mm macro. Very impressed with the sharpness and micro-contrast. I don't find the bokeh so disagreeable but it's not on the same level as the 90mm, which is why I am keeping both. 42 frames @ f/5, stacked in Affinity Photo
  6. I have both the X-T2 and X-Pro2 and I use them both equally but differently. You can find a lot written about the user experience online and I won't repeat it at length, because it matches mine: X-Pro2 for people, cities, travel, or anything where discretion is a factor. It goes in a Billingham bag with the lightweight 23/35/50mm f2 lenses. X-T2 for landscapes, macro, or anything where critical framing and a tilt screen is important. It goes in a LowePro rucksack with a bunch of heavy primes. So the short answer for you is X-T2.
  7. Do you have the OIS on continuous (mode 1) or shooting only (mode 2)? Keeping it on continuous is not necessary and will drain the battery. The 16 and 35mm 1.4 lenses you own are not OIS so you won't have experienced this yet. You can find the IS settings under the Shooting section of the menu
  8. I have the 90mm and I am looking forward to getting the 80mm once I can justify the cost! From my experience of the 90mm, the best way of stopping this noise from being annoying it to store the lens upright when it's not on the camera. Gravity stops the magnets (?) from moving around when the linear motors are not under power.
  9. Depends. Landscape = X-T2 + 16mm f/1.4 23mm f/1.4 56mm f/1.2 (or 90mm f/2, can't decide... can I have a 4th?) Street/people/travel = X-Pro2 + 23mm f/2 35mm f/2 50mm f/2
  10. You can set the view mode for chimping separately. On my X-T2 I use eye sensor mode for taking pictures but LCD only for image review. The playback button on the X-T2 is too close to the eye sensor. You need to take the camera from your eye to press the play button, so you are going to be using the LCD in any case. If you set the view mode for playback to LCD only, it won't trigger the eye sensor. That isn't a problem for my X-Pro2 where the play button is easily reachable with the right thumb while the camera is at the eye. On the X-Pro2 I use eye sensor mode for playback as well, this allows for stealthy chimping (but only with the X-Pro2 and not the X-T2). This is why I bought both bodies, they each have their strengths and weaknesses.
  11. I just answered my own question. Nissin will be releasing the Canon-mount version of the Air 10S on the 27th October. Presumably the other models will follow soon.
  12. Has anyone heard when the Nissin Air 10S is going to be released? Their website says July but clearly that hasn't happened. I know there was talk of it coming out in November but when I asked the UK distributor Kenro, they told me that they have no news. Perhaps the distributors in other counties are more forthcoming?
  13. Thanks, they look perfect and a lot cheaper than Fuji!
