It's important to note that the lens markings are not as precise as the electronic ones - they use the hyper focal calculations applicable to the old film days, and as a result are more generous than the modern ones in the viewfinder designed for modern pixel peeping.

This is not the same issue - even the 50-140mm can be a little loose (twisting, not wobbling), as long as the contacts still touch it's fine.

Are you sure it's not the documented f/0 problem? In this problem the lenses stop focusing and the camera shows f/0. The camera will still take (unfocused) images. This error requires replacement of a cicuit board within the camera, and will be fixed under warranty. I strongly recommend sending the camera in for repair and not waiting.

Personally I'd say that the smaller viewfinder, smaller buffer and inability to take a battery grip are bigger issues than the ones you've quoted.

No, it says it can do high speed flash, with activation by noise or light (eg. photo of a balloon popping). Seriously? It's not HSS, just a fairly useless trigger option.

There is a half case that will increase the size, and also a grip that adds an arca-Swiss style release plate, but sorry, no battery grip.

I find the "focus mash" technique to be very efficient in extremely low light - I've had at least as many keepers as a Canon 1Dx with a comparable lens (eg. 50mm f/1.2 vs. 35mm f/1.4)

It's very easy (some would say too easy) to accidentally change the drive mode when changing the ISO.with the changes made on the X-T10 I believe the Fuji engineers have recognized this, and I expect this to be corrected in the X-T2.

Also inability to use high speed cards

I think you can rest assured that the only real differences will be: 1. Inability to add a vertical grip, with the ease of battery replacement this offers. 2. Weather sealing 3. Poor buffer size 4. Smaller viewfinder 5. Lack of a flash sync terminal 6. No easily accessible front function button

I normally use RAW + JPEG for all of my work, and the JPEG is only to enable me to check a higher resolution preview on back of camera. That said, I've had several occasions recently where I've had terrible moire on grooms' suits, and I've found the jpegs have handled it better than lightroom. The last two days I've been shooting an equestrian event - 700+ riders at an average of 8 frames per jump in consistent light. For the first time ever I shot in JPEG only and I'm delighted with the results. Sure I won't switch to JPEG only for my weddings, but (excuse the pun) it's horses for courses - this has saved me hours of uploading and processing time, for no gain. Personally I'm thankful for the gorgeous Fuji Jpegs - I never would have used jpegs from my 1Dx or 5D IIIs - I never could get them to look as good as the default Fuji output.

I was out today shooting an equestrian event in poor conditions and I was very thankful for the weather sealing on the X-T1. If I wasn't shooting professionally I would have been tucked up somewhere dry, and not freezing in the rain! Personally I feel that weather sealing is a nice extra for amateurs, but a must-have for most working pros. I think the X-T10 is a great camera, but the lack of weather sealing and (more importantly) the tiny buffer and inability to add a vertical grip kill it as a camera for professional use. Being able to quickly swap in new batteries is a vital part of professional life, particularly with the comparably poor battery life on Fuji models. For this reason alone the X-T1 is a better choice for working pros. All that said, if I were an amateur shooting for myself I'd choose the X-T10 - cheaper and fully functional, and it looks good to boot.

Hi Waggles, A lot of your issues will be resolved (or at least improved) when Fuji releases it's firmware update on June 18th. There are significant improvements to continuous focus in the new firmware upgrade, you can see the details here: http://www.steves-digicams.com/news/fujifilm_announces_new_version_40_firmware_for_the_xt-1_and_xt-1_graphite_silver.html#b In the meantime here's a few hints to optimise performance as it is now. Make sure the camera is set to High Performance in Power Management. In Screen setup have image review set to off. Set the camera to focus priority NOT release priority. Use the centre focus point at a relatively largish size and and make sure that it is always kept on the subject. AF should be set to AF-C. Use a FAST sd card with a write speed of at least 95MBps, preferably one of the newer ones that write at 250MBps. To maximise your buffer shoot Jpeg or RAW, not Jpeg + RAW. If all this fails you may wish to invest in a faster lens - the 50-140mm f/2.8 is guaranteed to find focus better at f/2.8 - the 55-200mm is not renowned for fast focus. I'd suggest waiting until the firmware upgrade hits and trying it then before investing in new glass. Whatever happens the X-T1 will likely not perform as well as the Canons for this purpose - DSLR makers have had 30 years of development to improve autofocus performance in traditional SLR bodies, and mirrorless cameras are truly in their infancy. The improvements Fuji have apparently achieved bode well for the future, but in the interim sports shooters will likely keep their cameras. Personally I'm fully invested in Fuji with 4 cameras and maybe 6-7 lenses, but I still have two 5D Mark IIIs and all the F/2.8 zooms simply because in some circumstances the Canons outperform the Fujis. I'm hoping that the next iteration of the X-T1 will enable me to move fully to Fuji, but in the meantime I need to do the best for my clients which means using both systems. Good luck!

This behavior appears strange - if the ISO doesn't change when you turn the dial it sounds like a visit to fuji may be required!

Become a professional photographer and tell her it's a tax deduction.

As a wedding photographer I would always choose the 56mm - 90mm gives great compression but the working distance is generally to great for normal use. You add the 90mm to an existing set of 23, 35, 56 rather than replacing any of them if your goal is general use and portraiture.

I'm a wedding photographer and one of the requirements is table photos during the reception. I find the 23mm to be too narrow for this work, and expect to pick up the 16mm in due course. I've got the 18-55mm but prefer using primes for the extra light (often very dark environments). As a new user I would get the 18-55mm - great price, and at 18mm it's the same speed as the heavier (and much more expensive 16-55mm f/2.8

Hi I'm Antony and I'm a professional photographer from Australia. I've shot the Fuji system for the past 12 months after switching from Canon 1Dx and 5D3 models. I love the lighter weight of the Fuji system, and so does my back! I still use the Canon 5D3 with the F/2.8 zooms for my commercial work, but for weddings the X-T1 has been a revelation. I've an extensive Fuji system, two X-T1s, 10-24, 23, 35, 56, 50-140, Rokinon 12, Kipon tilt adapter with several Nikon primes, X100T, X30, Instax Mini 90, Instax Wide 500AF, 2 x Instax Wide 210 (for wedding photo booths) and various other accessories. Cheers!

The fact that non-Fuji lenses generally have a longer register distance will mean that the 1.4x converter likely WILL fit them. Performance may be another issue altogether, we'll have to wait and see but I expect a lot of people to be trying different lenses once it is released.

There will be an XE3 - fuji will maintain a rangefinder style line and an SLR style line. Ultimate lines will be: SLR style - pro/enthusiast (XT1), entry level (XT10) Rangefinder style - pro (X Pro), enthusiast (XE), entry level (XA) Fixed lens - X100 and X30 The tech and parts are common to a large degree between the rangefinder and SLR lines, so no reason to discontinue a successful line (XE series) - all we are seeing is a concerted push to compete with the DSLR market. Now this has been done we'll see renewed focus on the rangefinder style.

No - I wish the X-T1 did!

+2 and you can add the AEL and AEF buttons as well please!

There is currently no wireless TTL option for the Fuji System. You can however use wireless manual systems - the Yongyou for example enables full manual control of up to six groups at a fraction of the price of comparable camera systems.

XE2 will likely receive selected aspects of Firmware 4.0 due to the delay in getting XE3 to market caused by focus on X Pro and X-T10.
