I sold mine and stuck with the 10-24 because I didn't find a significant difference at the 10-14mm range and my 16-55 f2.8 is very sharp at 16-23 ranges. I'm shooting quite a lot of real estate interiors these days and the 20-24 f4 is my go to lense till Fujifilm comes up with a super-wide WR lens. The 10-24 with its IS is a very beautiful lens, I just wish it was a little better at 24mm end and here in Hawaii WR is good to have.

I use the X-T2 everyday too, and the joy stick may not be instantaneous but it sure beats going into the menu to adjust the point. Personally I love having it for my daily assignments.

I'm sorry, but I don't think Ken Rockwell knows what he's talking about, at least when he reviews Fujifilm cameras. Of all the many blogs out there now days, his is one I never bother to read anymore. Nothing personal, but shots of kids eating cereal or back yard scenics is in my opinion not a true test of what any upper level camera can do, especially a tool like the X-T2. I've been using the X-T2/Booster daily here in the islands where I work for the past 6 weeks and it has worked flawlessly for many different assignments. I can truthfully say that there hasn't been a day where I wish I had my Canon's back, or my Nikon's, or, I think you get the point. I still use my Linhof 617s III for certain shots, and once the GFX 50S is released, I'm fairly certain I'll be set. And by the way, I will be keeping my X-T2.

I take people out daily on mini one in one photo workshops teaching them how to best photograph one of the most beautiful islands on this planet, and when I get my clients to a beautiful location and start teaching them how to use polarizers, ND and Reverse Grads etc, I'm amazed at how time consuming and awkward it can be watching my clients searching through menus after menus when the Fuji I'm using to demo the techniques is so simple and straight forward. Everyone I've ever taken out into the field has been mesmerized by the Fuji's weight and size, and especially having all your controls visible at in a single glance. After we shoot and I down load our files to my Mac Book Pro on the hood of the car with the sunsetting they can't believe how beautiful the JPGs are right out of the camera let alone what we do with the RAW files back at the resort. With the release of the X-T2 I'll never give the other brands a thought, and when the MF line is released next year, that's it for the rest of my gear. You've really got to love what Fuji is doing these days.

Been running my new X-T2/ Booster Pack through its paces since yesterday and I'm happy to report that so far the camera is simply phenomenal in every way. The feel with the new Verticle grip is improved and my X-T1's Lensmate Thumb Rest fits perfectly. The new information readout character size on the LCD is smaller and not so intrusive. The new dial locks are pure genius and the read and write speeds seem much faster while using my same Sandisk Extreme Pro 280mbs/sec UHS-II card in slot #1. Auto focus much improved overall and focus selection toggle a dream to use. Image quality much better than the X-T1 when viewed on Apple 5K screen with a slight color difference with the red tones. Picture review and detail enlargement button on the same wheel a much improved method of reviewing your images, and the clarity of the LCD and the brightness of the EVF is exactly as good as rumored and so easy to use in brightly lit outdoor situations. Battery life seems a bit better, but the body does feel slightly warm after a few hours of use. When the Verticle Booster Pack is attached I don't notice and change in temperature. New door covers feel much more solid and safer and charging the unit last night via the new AC/DC charging system very convenient to use with two small convenient green LEDs mimicking the LED on the charger unit telling you when charging is complete. The difference in size is negligible and the hold ability is slightly improved over the X-T1 for my hands. New menu interface was easy to learn and more logical than X-T1, but it will take some time to change habits from daily use of old X-T1 menus for over a year. EVF blackout not noticed but I'll really get to test this feature shooting surfing this weekend. Over all Fujifilm has done another terrific job of listening to our needs and suggestions and making the changes quickly instead of waiting years like I was forced to do with Canon. This camera is simply too good to ignore and I can see a lot of serious photographers jumping over to the X System and the X-T2. A year ago I put my trust into Fuji that they would release a serious professional tool, and I'm happy to report they've done exactly that. Mahalo nui loa Fujifilm from Hawaii.

The main question is, "Do you shoot for a living, and if yes, what kind of photography is it that you do?" I have found that if you enter a system at the top tier of a manufactures camera selection you'll probably never regret it so long as the lens selection and sensor resolution meet your minimum needs. A camera like the X-T2 should cover your daily needs 90% for several years, but the wonderful X-T1 which I presently use and the cost/value X-T10 are beginning to show their age, all be it only slightly. You can't make an X-T1 or X-T10 perform as well as a X-T2, but you can make an X-T2 or an X-Pro 2 pretty much do anything you want and more as you grow as a photographer. In a few weeks I'll be up grading, my business demands it, but I must admit that my X-T1 is like a member of my family and selling it would be painful. I think it's going to be going into a water housing and will now specialize in wave work. Good luck in your choice, and it's nice to know you've chosen Fujifilm for your future photography. Everyone here will tell you that will be your best move by far.

I have no doubt Fuji will keep improving their AF, and their lens roadmap is on the right track, a long tele prime would be awesome. I'm hoping for at least a 24mp bump and AE bracketing greater than -1 to +1, that's what my work requires. If no megapixel increase I won't bother, because the X-T1 is fulfilling 80% of what I need on a daily basis.

It's great to see Fuji opting to go with weather-resistant lenses. I live and shoot in Hawaii where I'm never far from the beach or the rainforest, so WR makes this lens a must, for my type of photography. I only wish my 56mm f1.2 had it too.

This guy obviously has never used a teleconverter before this review. It would be nice if Fujifilm could engineer a No-Light-Loss teleconverter, I'd by 2 and give one to the Smithsonian.
