Well ????

Probably a useless reply, but have you updated the firmware of your lens / camera? Perhaps ....

Thanks for the information... I did not know that about a "metal helicoid"... good to know! And your #2, metal ring... did not know this either. Very helpful...

Morning... Shooting Menu ( red ) #3 last pick: Shoot without Lens, On or Off, whichever you need Select lens size in selection right above the Shoot without lens: Mount Adaptor Setting To set camera to MF the button is on the front, right of lens

Thank you for this information... have you actually used one that will do this?

1/ 18 f/2 mostly for closeup, macro 2/ 60 f/2.4 for tele or landscape 3/ 80 f/2.8 macro when it is released with the 1.4 TC This will depend on the weight. The pictures I have seen of it make it as large as the 90mm, so we will see... 4/ 35 f/2 Have considered this, but with my first two, not sure I really need it. We will see...

MSW...as you mention there are two adapters, do you mean for all Nikon lenses, or for the AF lenses?

My greatest love... Fuji XT-1 with Nikon 100E f/2.8 lens My Honey weedeating!

Good representations of the damage to the flooded homes... Thank you for posting these!

Good idea, bodkat... I have the noise problem on a photovest I use with Velcro pocket closures. I took some velvro and cut it the length of one of the sides on each pocket, and no more sound!

Appreciate the Gordy strap link, Tom... along with the explanation of the straps you have used and why you are using the one you now use. Will need to check into these...

Thanks for the Link, strandloper, along with the information. Good point about using a neck strap and being the 3rd hand.

It would certainly be nice to hear about some of these "better" wrist straps. I have never used one and would like to get a comfortable strap. I am not in the habit of dropping my camera/lens, but the grip is so small on the XT-1 I thought this would be a possible safeguard.

I have to agree with Hermelin... smaller and lighter is why I bought my XT-1 to use along with my Nikons...

I too am looking for a couple adapters... one for AI ... AIS lenses and one for AF lenses. Appreciate those here who have given names and even links to their adapters

Has anyone used the: Pacsafe Carrysafe 25 Anti-Theft Compact Camera Wrist Strap? I thought this might work, but not sure how comfortable it would be... any thoughts

When will the 50 be released? I always wonder how many shots I might miss while awaiting a new lens release...

Some good bag recommendations I will check into... (an addicted "bag lady"... )

My XT-1 with 18 f/2 has not been in a bag yet, as I have just purchased it. However, I have a perfect fit for this lens and a second to also fit into the bag. I personally wear belt bags, even though my belt bags also are shoulder bags. The little bag I am planning to use is the: Lowepro Adventura SH 110 II Shoulder Bag Dimensions: 7.5 L x 4.3 T x 4.6 W I am still trying to find my second lens, either the 60 f/2.4 or 35 f/2 to complete my kit, and fit into this bag. It is really nice that I have recently acquired this bag, it being new also for this new "kit"... UPDATE: Receiving my 60 f/2.4 today! The 18 f2 is nice, but I do like longer... Also received the The Adventura SH 160 II: http://store.lowepro.com/adventura-sh-160-ii?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=retarget_banner&utm_campaign=criteo_retargeting This Adventura 160 II is similar to the Lowepro Rezo 170-AW Shoulder Bag. But the Adventura is a little shorter. I like the Rezo for my DSLRs. But, I think this Adventura will be just right for the Fuji and my lenses + other gear... It has a useful front pocket and even an inside pocket I find handy also... These are all very handy and convenient shoulder bags, also with two nice belt loops which are much better for bag balance on my belt...
