I'm actually really happy with what I have: 16mm f1.4 35mm f2 (just sold the 1.4) 56mm f1.2 And an X100T Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The X100T is a great camera. There aren't even any credible rumours that the X200 is anywhere near production yet. I'd be surprised to see it in the shops within a year. I'd buy an X100T now. Then, if I wanted to, I'd sell it when a new model comes on the market. That's how I've gone from an X-E1 and an X100S to an X-T1 and an X100T, and how I've kept my lens collection up to date Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, I'd buy that - like the X-T1 but with the new sensor and joystick Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think the basis for comparison is that they're both telephotos, and people rave about them both for portraits. And if you want a portable but comprehensive all-purpose carry-around kit of lenses, you'll probably have a wide, like the 14 or 16, a standard like the 23 or 35 and then either the 56 or 90. At least, that's what I have: 16, 35, 56 and an X100t Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They were probably thinking 'protect sales of the X100 range.' Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hmmm... having finally settled on my 3 lenses (16, 35, 56) plus ant X100t, I find GAS creeping in again. Should I sell my 35 1.4 for the faster-focussing weather-resistant 35 2? Or should I keep the extra stop of light? I'll keep reading the reviews... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Witch camera and lens I should bring to London?
Warwick replied to mano76's topic in General Discussion
This is useful: http://olafphotoblog.com/2015/11/02/which-lenses-we-use-and-when/ See the summary section at the end Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
I had the 14 and sold it. It's great for landscapes but I don't do much landscape photography. The 16 is better for people, in my opinion. Specifically environmental portraits and close-up action photography in less-than-perfect light (I'm a skateboarder as well as a photographer, and the 16 is my 'skatepark lens.') It's also brilliant for pets in wet and muddy conditions with an XT1 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd take the X100t for my main travel camera. It's pocketable, it's light, it's silent, it's inconspicuous and it takes great pictures. I'd bring along the WCL in my other pocket for tight indoor spaces. Then if you feel the need of anything more 'specialist', pack the XT1 and 16-55. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Find Shutter Priority When No Switch on the Lens?
Warwick replied to rambler's topic in Fuji X-T1 / Fuji X-T10
It's super-simple. Want to adjust the shutter speed? Turn the shutter speed dial. Want to have the aperture adjust automatically when you turn the shutter speed dial? Set the aperture to A. And that's it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
I really like this picture. It tells a human story, nicely observed. For me, this is what photography is all about. Where were you standing to get this with an X100? Right up against the ropes? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've had both the XF23mm and the X100S for a year or so. After living with them both, here's what I've done: I've put them both up for sale on eBay and bought an X100T Here's why: - little point in having 2 lenses of the same focal length. - the 23mm is a lovely lens but bulky and not inconspicuous at a social gathering. - my old X100S was inconspicuous and silent, but not so quick and easy to focus in low light or to change the focus point in a fast-moving environment. - my new X100T has direct focus point control and face detection, and it focuses fast. - with an X100 series camera instead of the 23, you can have a different lens on your interchangeable-lens camera. A 56mm, say. You have a 2-camera kit. - you lose 1 stop of speed with the f2 lens, but I have 3 other fast lenses: the 16, the 35 and the 56, for when things get dark. I don't need a fourth fast lens. - you can take X100 cameras anywhere. At a family gathering no-one pays it any attention when you're taking pics - especially in silent mode. You can get some great documentary images. All in all I'm very happy with the choice I've made. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have the new MacBook - it's really not much bigger than my iPad, but it has 500gb of storage. I'd recommend it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My dilemma is whether to get an X-Pro 2, or whether to wait for the X-T2 and compare. With two top-end interchangeable lens cameras, it will be interesting to see whether they're going to differentiate mainly by form factor, or whether the cameras are going to have different functional emphases Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've been trying out different combinations and ended up somewhere similar: 16, X100T, 35, 56 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But for general-purpose photography, rather than specialist applications, a field of view between 35mm and 50mm seems to be most useful and versatile, because it's close to what the human eye sees. A lot of classic photographers spent their whole careers using just those lenses - Cartier-Bresson, for example, with his 50mm. There's a reason the X100 series has the lens it has, and not a telephoto or an ultra-wide. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd say that a 23mm lens (35mm full-frame equivalent) is a lot better and a lot more useful for a lot more things than, say, a 400mm lens. Or a fisheye. Unless you're into specialist areas of photography, you can use a 23mm pretty much anywhere for all sorts of subjects. Which is why, as Ektachrome says, it's a classic reportage focal length.

What I don't understand is the price of the official Fuji metal hood for the XF16mm. Metal aftermarket hoods typically cost around £15 (English money). The hood Fuji sell for the 16 costs £64. What is it made of - gold or something? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great pics. Makes me glad I traded in my 14mm and bought the 16mm - even though many prefer the 14. The combination of wide angle and wide aperture opens up possibilities. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
