  1. Good point. Maybe the new film will be backward compatible? Any idea on a release date?
  2. Got my body back (finally)... repair total was in fact $293 for a faulty main board. The grips were replaced as was the connector's cover door. I'm pretty happy with the work but feel $293 is a little high. Anyway, just thought I'd update the post. Thanks
  3. Hi everyone, quick Q for the seasoned wedding photography pros: What type of shoes do you recommend for photographing a sandy beach wedding? I don't think going barefoot will work because when I actually need shoes, like when making trips to the car etc, I don't want to be carrying shoes/sandals with me and then having to put them on and take them off. Also, flip-flops might kick up too much sand and I'd hate to spray the guests as I walk by. Any ideas or any other tips in general? Thanks for your input!
  4. Hey everyone! Sent in my XT1 for repair last week and never heard back from them. I checked the tracking number which confirmed it was delivered Wednesday the 4th so I decided to call them yesterday morning (Monday the 9th) to follow up. Anyway, the issue is that with any lens attached, I'd get F0 and no auto-focus. Fuji thinks it's the entire "mount assembly" and have quoted me $293. This feels a little high for me but am curious if anyone else has had experience with them and if you all have any suggestions as far as alternative repair shops etc. I've had the camera for over a year so there's no warranty. Thank you!
  5. But the source said no FW today? Guess Fuji decided to give us an early Christmas present... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Very cool [emoji106]
  7. Good point, Adam. [emoji106]
  8. Do you still own the Canon gear and bring it as a backup to events?Thanks
  9. Hi CRAusmus, Yes, I did count frames taken during the 10 second shutter hold and each time, the camera took 17 frames. I formatted the card after the first test as you see in the video so I used Audacity to look at the audio waves of the video so I could audibly and visibly count the frames from the first test. The second test, I simply counted the number of RAF files on the card. Thanks!
  10. Took a break from work this morning to measure how poorly the Lexar UHS-II x1000 card performs on my X-Pro1. Another forum member had stated that the x1000 card is not the best. So after testing it, I found my "slower" UHS-I SanDisk Extreme Pro 95mb/s cards are much faster than this Lexar card on the X-Pro1. Also, the Lexar card on the X-T1 didn't really impress me, so it's going back to Amazon! Hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wfzUmWELr4
  11. I got these links a few weeks ago too but I could not get them into the lugs. How did you get them in there? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Just saw this from FujiRumors, amazing stuff man! Are you using the electronic shutter to preserve the mechanical shutter's life?
  13. Hi everyone! I'm from South Texas, down in the McAllen/Brownsville area we call the "Rio Grande Valley". I've been an avid photography hobbyist since Jr. High School and a Fuji-holic since 2012 when I rented an x20 for a quick trip to NYC. I moved up to the x100 and then the XPro1. Currently, I'm getting ready to sell a whole lot of Canon gear to fund an XT1 and more glass. I do not consider myself a "pro", though I shoot a paid gig or two a month, and I see the benefits of Fuji gear in every aspect of my work. Hopefully I can contribute to the forum and share any helpful info. Thanks!
