Bad troll! Back to your cave.

First you want to throw your gear from the roof, then smash it against the wall, and now drown it? 
It looks to me like you are seeking attention in an unhealthy way. I am afraid we cannot help you.
 
Drown your gear, if you like, but above all, find someone who can really help you. I wish you all the best!!

Hello! I got the 23/2 today and wrote my first impressions of it on my blog, along with some general focal length musing preamble:
 
http://blog.andyf.me/fuji-23mm-f2-first-impressions/
 
In summary: it's a really nice size and weight, aperture feels good to use, focuses quickly and quietly, and the images it produces are nice – tack sharp everywhere but the extreme edges, unobtrusive bokeh, no distortion, and good flare resistance.

Just posting these taken with the XT2 50-140 would have liked to have got a few more chances but overall happy, love the lens,  

And the reason you need to show us is?

Side notes:
 
If you complain about something not working please have the courtesy to post the solution if and when you discover it, or what you did to get it resolved.
 
If it was operator error, please post it as such, admit you mistake, and stop blaming Fuji.
 
Please don't tell us you have white bars, squiggly lines, autofocus failure, error code XXX, that has been going on since the day you bought your new "Fuji X".
 
Enlighten us and tell us the resolution, and for gosh sakes if it's under warranty and you really believe the camera is broken the return it for repairs.
 
That brings to mine the poster who insisted her camera was broken, refused to try a different lens to determine if it was the camera or then lens, and then chastised me for asking if it was resolved, and in the end never did give the forums the resolution (again indicating operator error).
 
Lastly to all you bleeping trolls, this is a Fuji X Forum, not a "Pentax/Sony/Nikon does it better forum".

Hi folks,
 
I had the opportunity to take some pictures of this beautiful Euroasian scops owl, the smallest owl in Spain. The picture was taken in Guadarrama National Park in Madrid.
 
Hope you will like it!

Hi All,
 
I thought I'd share a list of useful shortcuts and important considerations for the X-Pro2 I've compiled from personal experience and various resources (recommendations below.) As I'm new to using this forum I hope this isn't redundant and that it will save you all some time and perhaps prevent some aggravation.
 
Shortcuts- in order of importance and frequency of use for me but of course this will be different for each of usPush Trash button for 2 sec, then press rear command dial to bring up card formatting Rear command dial- While in AF or MF press briefly to get the magnified view. Pressing for a full second in MF mode toggles through the focus assist modes (standard, split, focus peaking.) This works whether you are in magnified view or full view. This also works for the Electronic Rangefinder (ERF) Battery life as a percentage by hitting Playback button, then up arrow OR just toggle through the displays using DISP/BACK button Press and hold DISP/BACK button until Fn customizing menu appears and you can make changesOR press and hold any of the individual Fn buttons to change the function for that button. Press the Q key to bring up the Quick menu. Now press the Q button again and hold for 2 seconds: This brings you to the set-up menu to configure your custom camera settings C1 through C7. Press and hold the Q key for 2 seconds while in shooting mode to configure the Quick menu itself. While in this mode you can navigate to any of the 16 positions (use joystick or controller keys) and select any of the 24 functions or NONE for that position (using the MENU/OK button or push in joystick.) If you don't need access to 16 positions/functions you make some of them blank using NONE to clean up your Q menu. Press and hold Menu/OK button for 3 sec to lock all 4 selector/Fn buttons and the Q button. I must admit I never use this one but have included it in case someone out there sees a viable use for it. Important but not obvious:If DR is engaged (that is set to DR200, Auto, or DR400) your minimum Auto ISO won't go below ISO 400 or ISO 800 respectively, even if you've set the minimum for 200. I leave DR off for the most part because I primarily use Raw. If you use DR-AUTO mode, the X-Pro2 will choose between DR100 or DR200 but not DR400. If Face and/or eye detect is on, you can’t lock the AF. You also cannot change metering patterns. This makes no sense at all and I was hoping Fuji would change this when they came out with the 2.0 firmware update but no such luck. Maybe if we all request it, it will happen. One workaround is to assign Face/eye detect to a Fn button so you can quickly change it if you want to us AF-L or switch to spot metering. In addition to figuring some of this out on my own I have used several other resources. A couple of these stand out and I would highly recommend them: 1. Adam Bonn's X-Pro Series Content (not to mention the rest of his blog/site as well as his many poignant posts on this forum) 2. Rico Pfirstinger's X-pert tips- right now you can get 40% off his e-book via the link pinned at the top of this (Fuji X-Pro1/X-Pro2) forum.
 
Cheers,
Joel
