    Agree with the 27mm for street photography. Another great street lens is the 18mm f2

    The 10-24mm f4 is a fantastic lens, I've owned both versions, and is very versatile with architecture. Another option would be either the Viltrox 13mm f1.4, or the Samyang 12mm f2, as it would give a fast lens in your set.

    A three lens wish list for 2022, what I'd like/love Fuji to release next year. 1 - An ultra wide angle lens, something around 12mm f1.4 and WR and a similar size to the new 18/33mm f1.4 lens, that would be great for astro photography. 2 - Update the 60mm, faster AF, WR, keep the 1:2 ratio (I know its no true macro, but it still takes good closeups), and it sets it apart from the 80mm. 3 - Lastly, 50-140mm f4 lens, smaller and lighter than the excellent f2.8 version, a great lens for landscape etc. There it is, would love to hear everyone else's suggestions, and, if your watching Fuji, my cheque books ready

    Sorry to steal your thunder, but an even more Fuji-centric website for Fuji lenses is fujixsystem.blogspot.com Anymore additional information or sites would be great.

    Wex photo always seem to give an honest valuation. Sorry now I've read it properly, your in Italy not the UK

    I originally came from canon cameras, that had the same articulating screens, and i hated them. They are useless in windy land/seascape situations, where they effectively double the profile of the body, causing camera shake. While it would be nice if Fuji could produce bodies with either an articulating or hinged rear screen, its probably very impractical, and expensive. Unfortunately video vloggers make the most noise, so the rest of use have to put up with it, or find another manufacturer that doesn't use these type of screens. I've been using Fujiflm ever since i purchased a X-T1 in 2014, if i have to upgrade my T2, it properly wont be Fuji.

    I've had my 70-300 about 5 days, and im very impressed (enough to sell my 55-200). Used it with both converters at 300mm, and i found the 2x very difficult to hold steady, the 1.4x is a lot easier, but even the IS and OIS miss a few shots. There is definitely a minimal loss in quality with both converters, as to be expected. I think using it with the 1.4x is a great option to have, but the 100-400 would be a better.

    Herco, many thanks. The reasoning behind the original AS l-bracket is the fact i can remove the L part and leave the bottom plate in place. I already own the Smallrig bracket and find it to bulky in my small camera bag insert. I have tried other brackets, the 3LT slips with larger lens and the Neewer (purchased on amazon) was utter crap. Again many thanks

    Be patient, the market is about to be flooded with 2nd hand mark 1s. Bargains to be had i think.

    Hi all could anybody please tell me if the arca-swiss universal l-bracket will fit the XH1 without obstructing the battery cover. Thanks in advance.
  11. tractorboyx
    The X-H1 is a fantastic camera, and a piece of kit you will grow into. Remember you don't have to adjust all of the menu settings, just the ones you require. I was once told, find the camera you want, then buy the model up, then you won't outgrow the camera that quickly. I originally paid 4 figures for mine, and just bought another for half that, your getting a bargain.
  12. tractorboyx
    I doubt it, as far as Fuji is concerned the H1 is dead, toes up, lifeless, it is an ex camera.
  13. tractorboyx
    Wow, this is what I have been thinking for sometime. The earlier cameras were photography tool's, mostly everything in front of you, cameras for taking photos. Unfortunately I don't believe there will be a H2 as they have ignored the H1 after taking people's hard earned money. It's a shame my love affair with Fuji is fading.
  14. tractorboyx
    personally i would add the 14mm2.8 to the 18/55mm 2.8/4. what more would you need.
  15. tractorboyx
    This Ring Step-Down allows you to use 72mm threaded filters on a 77mm threaded lens this is the quoted text, from the amazon ad. you need to be able to fit a 77mm filter on a 72mm threaded lens.
  16. tractorboyx
    WR - and while there doing that include the 23 1.4
  17. tractorboyx
    I own and use both. Both give very similar results photographically, but the T2 is smaller and lighter, which is good for travel, and the cable thread is good in bad weather. When weight is not an issue, the H1 with the 16/55 is an amazing combination. Regrets, none, wouldn't part with either.
  18. tractorboyx
    When i first picked up the X-H1 a year ago i wasnt very inpressed. Recently picked it up again in my local camera shop, and had a change of opinion, so much so, i purchased one. Used it at a race track with the 100-400, wow so much nicer than my X-T2 with the bigger lens. IBIS is great on the track, compact is great on the street or travel, two fantastic cameras from Fuji. Looking forward to trying the new 16-80 with both.
  19. tractorboyx
    I think you now know which lens you will buy next. I use both on my X-E3, mostly the 23mm. I personally think the softness on the 23mm is a little over exaggerated.
  20. tractorboyx
    Go back through your photos and see what focal length you are using most, this will give you a good idea of what you are taking. There must be a good reason you are asking this question, do you want a wider or narrower field of view? Personally I use the 23mm and 56mm lenses. Like Jürgen has said, it's all subjective.
  21. tractorboyx
    Just had the same problem, many thanks dfaye. Just proves that this site is good for answering qustions.

    Announcement from photokina, a really good suggestion for a new lens A further announcement from Panasonic was for its existing Micro Four Third system, where it will be producing a 10-25mm (35mm camera equivalent: 20-50mm) F1.7 Wide Zoom Lens. This will be the world’s first zoom lens to have this ultra-fast constant aperture. Please Fuji, this would be an awesome addition.
  23. tractorboyx
    Personally I'd leave the 35mm at home, but I do agree with the last comment about the weather sealed lens. The three f2 lens wouldn't need a bag, one on the camera, and one in each pocket.
  24. tractorboyx
    I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, Panasonic/Leica make a 12-60mm (24-120mm in 35mm) that is f2.8/4.0, and people are getting excited about a f4,0 only lens. Even up scaling from MFT to APS-C this still looks a sizable lens. Why not make something that is better than the opposition, say a constant f3.5. Come on Fuji make a statement.
  25. tractorboyx
    I would suggest 3 lens, that I use myself. 50-140 f2.8 trackside or on bridges 16 f1.4 for when you are up close. 90 f2 trackside and saving weight All weather resistant, all fast, and all about the best Fuji make.
