Ordered mine hours after the launch and B&H said last Friday that my order will be shipped Sept. 12th. I'm hoping it is sooner. :-)

Ordered mine through B&H two hours after the launch and it only shows coming soon. No estimated date but three day shipping.

Xing, it seems you are well versed with the names of the mountains, etc. Were you with a guide or you just know Tibet by heart? Do you have any recommendations on which travel agency to contact or where to begin if I want to embark on an adventure similar to yours? I hope the question isn't too personal. Feel free to PM me if you prefer that. Your images are just amazing. It give the viewer a feel of how it is being there. Hats off! Thanks in advance.

Love your shots and your blog. Very story-telling images. I'm hoping to visit Cuba before the hordes of tourists arrive or am I too late? :-)

I brought three lenses for my business trip and had a few hours to spare on my first and final day in Germany. Sharing some of the images from 10-24mm and 100-400mm. 1) Shot with 10-24 lens 2) Shot with 10-24 lens 3) Shot with 100-400 at MFD

Just ordered mine; expecting it tomorrow.

I had a Canon 135 f/2 that produced spectacular results if I used it. I sold it after hanging on to it for seven years thinking I'll be a portrait photographer some day. Never happened. This Fuji lens despite the latest accolade can be rented if I so desire so I'll just do that if I get the itch. For now the versatility of the 50-140 suits me fine. To each his own. Just my two cents.

Well done.

Laughing at a customer seems rude to me. If he explained it nicely, it would have been better. As far as your question is concerned, I have other lenses from Canon but have not been tempted to use an adapter because it will defeat the very purpose of owning a mirrorless system which is less weight. Fuji lenses are sharp, the only thing I don't like about them is they can't focus well in low light.

First post in Nature and Wildlife Lost in Lavenders - Hummingbirds in Flight Fuji XT1, Fujinon lens 55-200, Firmware 4.0, 1/1600, f/4.8, ISO Auto, continuous focus, high speed frame rate, wide tracking focus setting option.

I don't have the 90mm but I did own an equivalent in Canon the 135 f/2.0. Except for concerts and theater use, it was used few and far between. YMMV. I love the 56mm. Thanks!

I might have posted this in the wrong forum. Can the moderator please delete? I'll repost in the Street Photography forum. Thanks, vman

Hi Olli, Unfortunately, I don't arrive until the 14th; then head to Japan on the 26th and will be back in Manila after the new year. Thanks!

Hi everyone, vman is my handle but my real name is Voltaire. I use my real name in fredmiranda for those who might have visited that site. Long time Canon shooter back in the days of film (Canon F-1) and had my own b&w darkroom in Manila. I'm based in San Francisco now and have lived in the U.S. for over 30 years. Had a hiatus for years while growing a family and seriously picked up the hobby again in 2004. Fully invested in Canon (1Dx and 5D III) and now also in Fuji (XT1 and X100T) although I've tried so far to stay away from the fast zooms because of weight and size issues but I know that resistance is futile soon after my shoulder heals. :-) I am not a pro but am a passionate photographer.
