  1. Here are a few from my US trip back in September Sunset at Clark by Yoan Mitov, on Flickr Misty Sunset by Yoan Mitov, on Flickr Path to Paradise by Yoan Mitov, on Flickr
  2. Okay, I've a couple more questions. First of all, how does the Auto ISO feature work on Fuji cameras? Can I set a minimum shutter speed like on Nikons? Also, does the viewfinder show the actual exposure or it fixes under/overexposure? Thanks in advance.
  3. Thanks! Yes, manual focus on DSLRs (APS-C ones at least) is terrible especially with new AF lenses. Thanks for the input. I guess it'll come down depending on my budget.
  4. Hi Max and thanks for your reply! Yes, I've tried the X-T10, X-E2s and X-E1. The latter's viewfinder is slower indeed but I think I can live with that - especially for just $200. Is it easy enough to manually focus using the white peaking? Best, Yoan
  5. Hello everyone, first time posting here - hoping I'm in the right forum! First of all - some background. I've been interested in photography for a few years now and that's why I bought a DSLR (Nikon D90) back in 2011. Since then I've collected a few (budget) lenses - Tokina 11-16/2.8, 18-105 VR, 55-300 VR, 35/1.8 and 50/1.8. I would usually go out photographing with two or, rarely, three lenses at most but this still is a large and heavy kit. That's why I considered I'd benefit a smaller camera and lens combination for a carry-around kit. I've read numerous reviews of mirrorless cameras and lenses and I came to the conclusion I'll be best suited by a X-T10 with a 27/2.8 lens (or 23/2, when it comes out ). I'm a student and will be working for the summer which is the perfect opportunity to save some dough and get that kit. I've tested it (plus a few more lenses and bodies) in a store and they all seem great. After I get acquainted with the camera (and hopefully like it enough) I could expand my setup to include a couple more lenses like a Samyang 12/2 and a telephoto (probably the 60/2.4 macro and a 50-230 zoom). After looking at my photos I've come to the conclusion my most used focal lengths are at around 12mm, 30mm and 60-80mm - so a three-prime kit should serve me well. If it works well enough it could even completely substitute my DSLR system. I wouldn't mind trying old manual lenses for a cheap short telephoto substitution - like a 50 or a 85 mm one - as well as focal length reducers. I read there'll be a Fuji sale soon so my initial combo would cost like $900 but for me it's still quite an investment. Therefore I could consider a used X-E1 and pancake lens for starters. I read X-E1s AF is slower than newer bodies - is it that bad in practice? I rarely shoot fast-moving subjects so I was wondering if it's up to the task. The D90 is quite old now but its AF is still snappy in most conditions. Have Fuji updated X-E1's focus peaking with color options yet? If not that wouldn't be very usable for MF lenses. I hope I haven't bored you with my long post. Am I on the right track? I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you're interested you could view my photos here. Thanks in advance and have a great day!
