  1. I already have a 2/135 for my Fuji, it's not that small but it's light and the IQ is outstanding, also looks great with it's little red ring detail near the front. Focus system is a little slow at times though.
  2. Love to see more of your design on this, great experimental idea to be able to sling a few thousand shots without loosing power. I lost a shot last weekend due to that big red flashing battery icon jumping out and punching me in the face. Even thought I had the battery changed faster then a politician changes the subject, that moment was gone. Not a big deal but it all helps. Good luck.
  3. Perhaps share the outcome to help anybody else?
  4. Fuji UK quoted £115 inc VAT and shipping home to get the EVF fixed on the X-E2
  5. ONA bags are mighty fine, the wax canvas is a bit of a dust agent but the leather ones are looooooveeelllyyyyy. The Bowery is perfect for a one/two camera set up and spares, I'd often have a two camera 23/56 combo with an i40 in there plus batteries, cloth, business cards etc... Today I took my X-PRO2 out with the 2/18 on it and the 1.4/35 in a Crumpler banana cube [small]. Room for the usual accessories too.
  6. Interesting idea stacking the lens adaptors, I tried it with my Sigma 50 Art with a 13mm tube on it, on my X-T1, didn't work out well. However putting my old Zeiss 2.4/35 directly adapted on the X-T1 worked out really good as it focuses so close anyway. fly by Kim Farrelly, on Flickr
  7. My 2/90 has two specks of dust, big specks [for dust] haven't noticed them in the images but it is a little bugging & on my mind if I ever sell it, not that I'd ever be doing that, probably, would be nice to have a clean one al the same.
  8. AS far as the tear down goes, I didn't set any pics so simply remove the rubber from the grip - it's just stuck on so peal it away carefully - then the tolex from the front left and right & then the tolex from the back. After that remove the screws from the base plate and both sides of the camera. Remember to map the screws out as you go tis there are a few different sizes. The back cover removes and their are two ribbon cables. One for the buttons and the other for the screen. The screen can be removed from the back cover. After that things are straight forward to strip the insides, just give your self the long afternoon to do it.
  9. Surgery want well, although nothing out of place unfortunately so email off the Fuji UK to get a cost on repairing the camera to see whether it is cost effective to repair. If not I'll use it with in LCD mode.
  10. For the settings, if it where me... Avoid electronic shutter with the fluorescent lights. Forget auto iso if you'll have constant light there will be little need for it as the lighting isn't changing much. Pick a fairly high shutter speed if you want to avoid movement blur Try using the full PDAF tracking with continuous AF [great o the X-PRO2] Turn off Face detection
  11. The lens is a lot faster to focus on the X-PRO2, so far, as are all the Fuji lenses I have.
  12. Well I might open the X-E2 up during the week and have a look-see, if it is a ribbon cable I'd be overly happy.
  13. This happened to my X-E2 but I presumed it was due to it tumbling down the steps of a church. Be interested to hear what others think also.
  14. Variable aperture and video, no so handy if you are zooming, not a problem if you are not. Or set it to f/4 I guess, man think before I type. Like you I've just sold all my EF gear, well just the 50Art and the 2/135L to go [sniff sniff ].
