I have a Haoge LH-FJ35 that I use on both the XF 32/2 and XF 23/2. It has the bayonet mount around the lens front so does not occupy the filter threads. It does not vignette on the 23mm. So the bayonet must be the same on the two lenses, So the 23mm Fuji OEM hood should also fit the 35mm.

Look on YouTube, there are quite a few people stating and demonstrating that the V2 firmware was better than the current. The issues are with continuous AF and face/eye tracking, if you aren't using that AF setup then the issues are not apparent. Apparently "predictive tracking" is what has made things worse. If I were you, I'd leave the camera as it is and working as you are familiar with until your event is completed.

Affinity Photo is what a lot of people are moving to from Adobe subscription apps (Lightroom & Photoshop). It is available for Mac. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ I've been using the Adobe apps for so long that I'm sticking with them, even though some say they are sub-optimal for Fuji X-Trans files, I don't want a whole second workflow just for Fuji files.

I like a prime set where the focal length doubles at each step. I love the 24mm equivalent as an everyday lens. Three lens Fujinon prime set for my X-E3; 16mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 70mm f2 or f2.8 < obviously this does not exist, come on Fuji, where is our compact short tele? I've recently bought an X-T5 (to replace a Nikon D800E and f mount lenses). For this I'm aiming higher and looking for top performing lenses. Three lens Fujinon prime set for X-T5; 18mm f1.4, I hope that there will be a new 16mm f1.4 R LM WR which would be my preferred every day lens. The rest of the set look like they may be Viltrox, not Fuji, the 13mm f1.4 as an ultra wide, and the 75mm f1.2 as the short tele. I'd continue to use the Fuji 35mm f2 as the standard lens.

The X-Pro line are the revered ones, so an X-Pro 1 would be the obvious choice missing from your list, it's slow though. The X-H1 is an excellent tool, great ergonomics and versatility. Back to the original topic: I have the original 27mm f2.8 pancake, for me it is far from special. The second version is identical optically. I like its compact size, but the 40mm equiv. focal length is not one I like much, and the imaging results are just average.

I have an X-T5, and this was before the firmware update V4 that added the Reala Ace to the camera. I'm pretty sure my Lightroom was showing 20 camera matching profiles.

When I look in Lightroom, under colour profile, camera matching, I see Reala Ace as a choice. But I've been lead to believe that those are Adobe's versions, not the actual Fuji simulations. Is your Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom up to date? Lightroom Classic V 13.4 Camera Raw V 16.4

Hello, I'm new here, but a long time Fuji user. I've had an X-E3 since 2018 and also have the XF 16mm F2.8, XF 18mm F2, XF 23mm F2, XF 27mm F2.8, and XF 35mm F2 lenses. I just lashed out on an X-T5 and the XF 18mm F1.4. By all accounts a premium lens in the latest LM series from Fujifilm. I'm finding that the aperture ring on the 18mm F1.4 is so loose that it will not stay where I set it. The slightest brush against the strap, or clothes or my hand is enough to move it (sometimes by a whole F stop. I've had a look around on forums and have noted some people say it is looser than the other two new F1.4 lenses (the 23mm and 33mm LM), however mine is so loose that it makes the lens annoying to use and results in shots at incorrect apertures. I shoot almost always in aperture priority and have appreciated the aperture rings on the XF lenses. Has anyone gone back to a camera shop and/or Fuji about this issue as a warranty problem? If so what was the outcome. I can't believe that my aperture ring is supposed to be so loose.
