I'm new to the XT5 myself but one of the beautiful things about the XT line is that you can place everything on Auto, then adjust want you want from that starting point. I think of Auto as the sensors trying to get a clear image. Its up to you to decide what you want to highlight or create a certain affect. I'm not sure if there are motorized Zoom lenses but at least most of them are not. If you love seeing loads of detail then zoom away. But realize that you will be compressing your field of view the more magnification you use. So its trickier to nail focus where you want it. Of course lots of magnification will also also magnify any mistakes in exposure, focus, and camera shake. Just start shooting, you will see.

This one, pricey though. https://kirkphoto.com/camera-mounting/fuji/x-t5.html

Hello all, I am a new Fuji user and just joined the forum. I have a question that I don't see addressed previously, hopefully I searched correctly. Anyway, I purchased the X-T5 in December on release. I spent a great deal of time looking at various camera systems, settling first on APSC then further on Fuji X-T. I was getting ready to buy the X-T4 when I heard of the 5's pending release. I waited and purchased simply because it was the latest and figured there would be no downside. My intended use for my setup is for backpacking primarily followed by general purpose, non-pro use. My intention was to purchase the 10-24 and 55-200 for backpacking and 16-80 as a kit lens for general purpose. My initial impressions of the camera and 16-80mm are really favorable, I'm really pleased with the decision. I purchased the other two on Ebay, both in apparent very good condition. The 10-24 arrived first and I immediately loved its epic wideness. But I immediately noticed blurriness on the right side on several frames. Not really softness but an out of focus look despite the distances to the object in the frame being equal. The following day, I went to the same locations and took as similar as possible photos with the 16-80 (getting focal length, f-stop, ISO as close as I could). The result was no blurr. So my first thought was that the lens was defective and contacted the Ebay seller. He took it back but has since contacted me claiming the lens works fine for him on his X-T2 or 3 (can't remember). I have no reason not to believe him, he gave me no hassle on the return. The other used lens, the 55-200 is very sharp with no issues. I am considering to go ahead and purchase a new 10-24 for weather sealing and a warranty. But I am wondering if there are people here using this lens body combo and have noticed anything similar. I don't want to wind up having similar problems with a new lens and shipping it back and forth. Any comments or thoughts? Thank you in advance.
