  1. People in Ghana. XPro2, XF18mm f2 XPro2, XF35mm f2 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Personally I'd take the 16mm, which is a great wide-angle lens, if a little bulky. Then I'd want a normal lens for street shots, for which I'd pick the 23mm. Finally I'd want a portrait lens, and for me the choice would be between the 35mm and the 56mm. Both have a lot going for them. So what about the longer lenses? If I were going to Vietnam, I'd want a bit of Vietnam in every shot. Long lenses have a tendency to isolate the subject and flatten perspective, so I'd feel like I would be constantly fighting to put back the context that the lens was taking out. I'd leave them at home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Arriving in Accra, Ghana. Pictures taken on a plane and a transit bus, so not technically 'street' but the crowded conditions allowed me to get right up close to people. XPro2, 18mm f2 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. The 18-55 is about twice the size of the near-pancake 18mm. I'm not altogether convinced you need OIS on a wide-angle lens. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. My XPro2 has a built-in intervalometer. I'm sure the XT2 must have one too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I don't find it significantly slower. Mind you, my XPro2 has a better low-light sensor than my old XT1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Agreed. I sold my f1.4 and f1.2 lenses when the new f2 ones came out. The result is I take my camera with me to more places and use it more often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. The 16-55 is MUCH bigger and heavier than the 18-55. If it's travel you need it for and you're set on a zoom, I'd go for the 18-55. Alternatively, the new f2 primes are small, fast, light and weather-sealed. You could do a lot with just the 23mm f2 on your camera and either the 35mm or 50mm f2 in your pocket for when you need something slightly longer Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Good shots - my question would be, how did they get to be silhouetted against the Hilton? Are they coming off of a small kicker? A big one? Are they coming out of a half pipe? Are they 5ft above the ground, or 50? Where are they going to land? If you include a bit more context the viewer will understand the story better The picture below is from Getty Images. It's a motorbike not a skier - but the principle holds. The photographer had used a wide-angle lens to get in the take-off and the landing, and has included spectators for context. It tells a much more powerful story than a close zoom on the action alone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'd go for the 18mm f2 for indoors and wide shots, 35mm f2 for portraits and the new 50mm f2 for long shots. But I reckon you could do the whole wedding with the 18 and 35. As Milandro says, the 56mm is too long for most of the shots you'll be asked to take But if you prefer a zoom, I'd get the 18-55. It covers all the lengths you need Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. I have a 12" MacBook. When I connect a card reader and open Lightroom I click on the Import button, then select the source, then check the photos I want to import, then press the button and Lightroom imports them. It saves them into a library in my Pictures folder. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. A couple more skateboarding shots taken with my XPro2 First shot with the Samyang 8mm fisheye, second with XF18mm f2 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I chose Fuji because of the bodies. I wanted small, light, high quality and stylish - a camera I could have with me much of the time without lugging a heavy bag or intimidating my subjects. My XPro2 is exactly what I want from a camera body (though USB charging would be nice). The lenses are the icing on the cake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I have the XPRO2. I love it. There are a few technical differences between the two cameras - tilt screen etc, but in this case I think it's down to emotion and self-image: do you see yourself as an SLR sort of person, or a classic rangefinder sort of person? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. X-Pro2 is the way to go, if you like the X-Pro1 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. I have Lightroom and a Mac and I had that problem in my import dialogue. I found that if I selected the name of my camera from further down the list on the left of the screen, and selected 'include subfolders' I got images. That all sounds complex but it makes sense if you have it in front of you Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. I've owned the X-E1, X-E2, X100s, X100t, X20, X70 and XPro2. I've never had any problems with any of them, and never been less than 100% happy with them. More than that, they've got better with every firmware upgrade and every new model. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Pictures taken with the XPro2 and 2 lenses - the Samyang fisheye and the XF18mm at f8 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. The XF 35mm f1.4 is a great lens. It has an aperture ring on it. If you want the aperture to be set automatically, turn the ring to A. If you want to set the aperture manually, turn it to whichever aperture you like. It's as simple as that. For the electronic rangefinder, try pushing the viewfinder switch the other way.

  20. I'd go for the 16mm f1.4, if you have it. If not, then the 18mm f2 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. In technology these days, newer is almost always better. Every new Fuji camera I've had has been better than the last. Now I have an X Pro 2, which I love Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. Merry Christmas to you, too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Yes - I forgot about the 27 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Buying a 35mm lens and an X100T would be expensive (around £1300 for the lens plus the camera, versus around £370 for the 23mm f2). If you're keeping just one body for now, the 35mm 1.4 is a beautiful lens - but personally I find the 23mm more versatile for more purposes if I'm going out with just one lens.

  25. I'd go for the 23. It makes your camera much smaller, which means you're more likely to take it with you to more places without feeling conspicuous, which means more pictures Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
