Looking forward to your next shot. Very interesting to read your thoughts about the execution and how you approach to look forward.

Great composition and post processing. I like the one in the middle the best What is your experience with the GFX?

Great captures! I'm trying to get clear crips photos of my dog as well when he runs towards me, but I'm unable to lock the focus on him. I've tried different autofocus modes, different autofocus measures such as spot, wide etc. But I'm having a hard time to nail it. The lenses I have is 18-50 and the 55. Are they too slow for this kind of photos? I need some tips because these looks spot on ッ

Unfortunately, budget is an issue. My understanding is that Gitzo is THE ONE, but that comes at a price. I didn't like the BeeFree head neither the leg locking system. What set it apart is the weight, almost 50% lighter than anything else out there. This is my thought as well, is the carbon versions truly worth it? I reason with myself that since I hike a lot, weight actually is a good reason to go for a carbon version. I'm so lucky that I now barrow a Sirui N-2205X, which is a little heavier and bigger than the T-2205X, but if the build quality is identical then I think I'll opt for the Sirui tripod. The BeeFree is scary small, it's so small that I don't understand how it could practically work as an all-round hiking tripod The smallest breeze should tip it over, and without any hooks on the center column theres no way to anchor it more either. I will test the Sirui N-2205X during this weekend. It's a little heavier than I would prefer (approx. 1.7kg), but its very compact in its case.

I'm looking for a new travel tripod for my X-T1. I've been looking at Manfrotto BeeFree Carbon,Manfrotto 190GO Carbon, Sirui T-2205X+G-20X and the Benro Travel Angel FTA18CV0. I do not which one of these are the best. I have a Manfrotto tripod now, but its too heavy. I would like carbon due to more stability when I take long exposure seascape photos, but I do not know how much greater the carbon tripods are for this when they are as short as my selection is. I need a new tripod for long hikes, airplane travels etc...

I think that maybe Fuji has added an ICC profile for this lens? Will check it when I'll home...

Its the close focus distance that intrigues me which will open a whole new area of creativity. I have seen some great examples taken with this lens. I too think that the 12, 23 and 56 is a good spread, so I think that I will go for the 23mm. It'll be the "safeties" choice.

Hi I'm going traveling this summer to Spain. I've got the Samyang 12mm, XF35F2 and Fuji XF56mm. I'm about to sell my XF35mm to get a little wider perspective, and I'm thinking about trading it for either the XF16mm or the XF23mm. I've lent the XF23mm before and just loved how it handled, rendered etc. That lens produces a fantastic set of photos. I'll mostly take photos of my family (two kids and a dog) and casual "street" photography. Since I've never have handled the XF16mm I would like some feedback to which one out of these you would recommend. Whats important to me: bokeh /subject separation, autofocus, size and photo quality. WR is nice, but its not required. I've had the XF56mm for years and I've never been in a situation where it could be broken due to not beeing WR. Thanks, Jonas

It depends on what OS your on, Windows or Mac. I've used Time Lapse Assembler before on my Mac with luck.

Took another great photo with this lens on my recent hike in the Norwegian forest. Glorious Jax by Jonas Grimsgaard, on Flickr

This little thing is really impressive. Looking forward to shoot some night shots with it, but until then, some seascapes will do ッ Untitled by Jonas Grimsgaard, on Flickr Untitled by Jonas Grimsgaard, on Flickr Untitled by Jonas Grimsgaard, on Flickr
