  1. This may be corrupted firmware. It's not an issue I have heard of before (which does not mean that it's not a known issue). Assuming you haven't done it already, Try re-flashing the firmware to your camera. Otherwise it may be something you need to send in to Fujifilm for a repair. Better still, order a newer model from Fujifilm and trade in the X-T1. Last time I looked they were offering a trade in bonus.
  2. Hello Kate, You've probably made your purchase by now but I thought I'd add my penny's worth. The Samyang 12mm is a cracking lens and great value for money. It's about as wide a lens as you can get without going into fisheye territory. I have fazes where I don't take it off the camera and it is fantastic for travel or street stuff. I almost never get out of focus shots from it despite it being a manual lens. Once you have mastered the simple trick of setting it up for zone focusing it is very reliable. In fact, if you set the focus to around 12ft/3.5m away, almost everything beyond that will be reasonably in focus anyway. I have used it to enter photos into the Sony awards this year, which gives you some idea about how much regard I have for this lens.
  3. He's right on the money about the failure to evolve the menu system. I have a particular bugbear with the Custom1, Custom 2, etc thing. Firstly, hasn't Fujifilm realized by now that these are properly termed 'user defined profiles' and that there is a robust requirement for the user to be able to give each profile a name such as "Mean Street" and "YABS". And while I'm whining on, why 6 profiles - why can't I create the number I want?
  4. I've picked out some enjoyably inconsistent snippets from this review (KR is the first to say that his reviews are unapologetically subjective and often whimsical) "The Fujifilm X-Pro2 is... the first mirrorless camera of which I know that has two card slots, which is mandatory for use as backup for any professional use. Neither Sony nor LEICA are there yet; with only one card slot these other cameras are fun, but not suitable for any professional use The X-Pro2 is for people whose work isn't yet good enough to warrant the ownership of the LEICA system It's sad to see Fuji starting to go down the same road as LEICA The fit and feel of the controls, as well as all the dedicated knobs and dials, is the best in the business today — even better than LEICA M! It's not silent, but is it quiet and refined; far more quiet and refined than my LEICA M9, for instance. Color Rendition Compared:- Fuji - People: superior Places & things: poor Leica - People: fair Places & things: poor Ken, you're brilliant!
