    The Monkey Lady

    This lovely Dutch lady was selling the monkeys for a charity €8! I bought one from her after we had a chat for a few minutes. She was sitting there in Traben-Trabach on the banks of the Mosel. On my way back to the ship I had the monkey in a large pocket with its head sticking out, as you can see she thought this highly amusing! She is knitting hats for the monkeys!
  2. Impressive
  3. Derek, You have hit the nail on the head? I reckon you should keep your boxes. I don't know where you are from but in the UK it is very important to sell your stuff in is original box, if not the price paid will be less than if you have the box! The price of cardboard is high if it has a fancy logo on it!
  4. Personally I would love to see 200mm or 300mm prime lens, preferably with a max aperture of f4 to keep it as light as possible! Take a look at the Nikon 300mm f4 PF lens as an example of what is possible, I'm absolutely sure Fuji could do it!
  5. May be that's why the X-T1 was secondhand? If the lens is still in warranty should not cost you anything! I usually have this sort of luck!!!
  6. Can't comment on an empty post?
  7. Very little point in posting a cityscape if you do not say where it is!!!
  8. The non APD version is a more versatile option but again it ain't cheap. I say that because I don't understand the APD system!
  9. I presume you mean a greater amount of "out of focus" areas to your portraits, if that is the case the the 56mm f1.2 is the lens for you. Fuji on its websites provide a lens comparator a very useful tool to see what the performance of Fuji lenses look like, check it outL P.S. The comparitor is the Fuji X mount lenses app, an iPad app available from the App Store!
  10. Dr Nipun, Fuji lenses are as good as it gets, so IMHO if you buy cheap you end up buying twice! What country are you in? Only you can decide what you need from a lens, you have given no indication of budget? The 18-55mm is reputed to be among the best standard zooms! Do you really want to faff around with an adapter and lenses that do not fit the Fuji X lens mount. Personally I don't! No system is perfect. The British company WEX is a very good company to deal with. Google them! If you are not specific in what you want, how can you expect specific answers! There are lots of people migrating to the Fuji system so they are obviously doing something right! Good luck P.S. The 60mm f2.4 will serve very nicely as a portrait lens + you can also do a bit of macro as well!
  11. Max, you have just come across one of the advantages of belonging to a forum like this excellent one. Full of people like Milandro who are knowledgeable and are willing to freely offer their help and advice, super!
  12. His because of the expression, sorry old chap.
  13. Just tried my copy and there is no wobble what so ever!
  14. C&C welcomed!
  15. Max, Milandro is quite right and explained it much better. Than I! Take time to familiarise yourself with the camera, also there are shed loads of videos on UTube. It will take a little while to get used to myriad of controls on the X-T1, I've been trying since January and still a long way to go!
  16. Press the left button on the D pad to get into the Red Shooting menu and then scroll up or down and you will get to the Blue menus! You need the numbers highlighted not any of the menu items! hope this helps!

    Thanks Davek, Fuji X-T1 + 10-24mm, when I view this in Lightroom I see no sharpness issues, but I see issues when viewing the photo in the forum page?

    Taken in Cologne 2016. C&C welcome
  21. I agree with Kim, what was the cure?
  22. I pre-ordered my X-T2 complete with the grip, I have to say mainly because of a discount!
  23. But I bet he goes home on his bike!
  24. This oddball sat on the stone for hours and also during a heavy shower of rain!
  25. Another from my recent holiday
