I've been using the Peak Design clip with both the X-T2 and the X-T5. Works really well - very reliable and holds the camera steady. Just upgraded to the most recent version (more slimline), which is just as good. Solid and well made.

Thanks KimC - I do have the tubes - very grateful for your thoughts here. I'll give them a try. As an aside, what do you use to light the slides ? Do you have a Lightbox ?

I have a number of 35mm slides and negatives that I want to convert to digital. I am keen to try to do this through the X-T5. I have options to use the F1.4 16mm, 18-135mm, f1.4 33mm, f2 90mm or 70-300mm zoom lens, but would appreciate recommendations for an adapter that would fit/work on any of these lenses. Thanks in advance Geoff

Thanks Greybeard ... I'll give that a go

Hello, I have a horrible feeling that I am missing something, but I cannot get the Fuji XApp to allow me to change shutter speed when connected to my X-T5. In all other regards the app works flawlessly, but it seems to be set on an Auto setting which I cannot change (see screenshot). I cannot find a solution via the help files, so thought I would ask the community for help. so my question is “How do I take full control of the camera using the XApp, especially the shutter control” ? I am using the most up to date version of the app and have the latest firmware on the camera. Thanks

I shoot with the XT5 and the 16mm, having brought the lens with me from my previous XT2. The lens is truly excellent - fast and sharp to the edges. The manual focus clutch is a nice touch too (although in fairness, not absolutely necessary). I shoot mostly after-dark and landscape shots and this lens spends more time on the body than any of my others. I don’t think you’d would be disappointed with it

In the software menu (IS mode, from memory), or on the side of an XF lens that has image stabilisation built in

I had similar challenges with turning IS off through the menu system until I appreciated that the IBIS was also controlled through the IS switch on the lens body. Could there be a link here for you ?
