cale33 got a reaction from Mike G in X-H1arrived
Mike G, thank you so much for your quick reply. I'm on a 4-month-long cruise right now and we get to Hong Kong on the 19th. As I do every year, I'll be going up to Wing Shing and purchasing a piece of Fujifilm equipment. This year it'll be the X-H1. I'm very excited about it as my T2 screwed up last summer in Russia and hasn't been the same since. I've been using my backup, my Pro2. I had no idea it was such a good camera! I miss the flip screen and the AF Mode of All, but otherwise it's been fun to use. People comment on the rangefinder look of it.

cale33 got a reaction from glospete in I'm going to buy the X-T2, need some advice
Sometimes I think I'm the only female on this forum so I thought I might put in my thoughts. I travel a lot and the lens I use the most is the 10-24. It's short, fat, and remarkable. I can be in a crowded temple but still get a full view. Two weeks ago, I took some great photos in the low light of the Vatican. I use it for landscapes because it shows the whole picture, not just part of it. Quite dramatic! I only use the big 100-400 when on safari and sitting in a Jeep. I can get a giraffe's face from far away. As for the 18-135, I agree with Mike G. It's an excellent lens and extremely versatile. Sometimes I spend the day with just one of the primes, which are breathtakingly sharp. The 35 is so cute people do double takes on it. I shot a stork on top of a church with the 35 and the photo was so sharp that I just cropped it. Maybe it's just me, but the more I use my Fujis, the shorter I go in lenses.

cale33 got a reaction from flysurfer in ebook: “The Fujifilm X-T2: 120 X-Pert Tips“ Available
I bought it this morning and have spent the day reading and studying it. Truly GREAT book! Well written, informative, and deeply interesting. I love that he put in all the shortcuts. Push this, hold that, and zap! you override the menu. In two days I leave on a five-month world cruise and I'm taking it with me in print form so I can make lots of notes on it.
Thank you, Rico.

cale33 got a reaction from etherize in XT-2 Preorders
I'm remodeling a house so I didn't order the camera from B&H until TWO DAYS after it was posted. I felt like the world was passing me by. I blame the plumbers.

cale33 got a reaction from darknj in Users without a profile
I read the posts to try to learn. When I do write something, I get little to no response because I don't know the technology. To get a response you have to use lots of initials. OVF and EVF are essential. "I was having tea with my EVF and I kicked the OVF out." "No! No! You are a fool. Only OVF takes tea." Equipment brag gets attention. "The only lens I use is a UT-1 made in Germany during the First World War." I guess I am a lurker. I stand back and try to figure things out (and do a lot of google searching) so I can take good photos.

cale33 reacted to flysurfer in Your X Lens wishlist
This sounds like a rather self-absorbed statement, and it's also pretty distasteful display of verbal non-manners. Luckily, each member of "the world" is perfectly able to decide on their own what lenses they need.

cale33 got a reaction from dbspano in Travel to Italy: X100T or X-E2?
This winter I went around the world with a Nikon Df and 6 fabulous lenses. At the end I was so tired of lugging my kit that I used my cute little X100s. I got great photos. I took a snap from the far side of the bus, through a window, across a person, to a faraway woman crossing a bridge. It was so clear that I cropped it to just the woman on the bridge and it was great. I haven't used my Nikon since.

cale33 got a reaction from Trenton Talbot in Hot Air Balloon
Thank both of you very much. Last year I went on a safari in Kenya. I had a Nikon Df and a 150-600 lens. I got great photos but I am a 5' tall woman so you can imagine the comments I got. The ship docked in NY at 11 and at 11:30 I was at B&H. I bought the XT-1 and a couple of lenses. I loved it so much that I now have 3 Fuji cameras and 11 lenses. I am ready for next winter's trip!!
