  1. I would definitely wait for the X-E4 to come out. I like my X-E3 but it was converted to B&W IR, so I want another small rangefinder styled camera, but only if it has a tilt screen. I also wish the built in flash was back, as I had used that for some minor fill flash (but have to be carful as the flash casts shadows from the lens hood on some lenses.
  2. I am excited to possibly see an X-E4 with a little better grip, and definitely a must have tilt screen. not the ones to take selfies!!!! I love my X-T3 because of the tilt screen as I shoot many low angle images in vertical. but I love the design of my X-Pro2, for street shooting, but for fine art, I need (MUST HAVE) a tilt screen in the vertical configuration. it's as if Fuji has no idea that not all images are shot horizontal. That's also the reason I bought the GFXs medium format camera, instead of the GFX r. I needed the tilt screen in Vertical. but I would have rather spent $1000 les to get the camera I wanted instead. and, the S is larger and heaver than the r. since I used to shoot with a Leica in my film days, I love the rangefinder styled cameras. That's what got me to invest in the Fuji X-Pro1. so I am excited to see an X-E4, with a little better ergonomics, not too large as the X-Pro3, but with more physical dials instead of hidden menus, and a high MP sensor. but please please please give me a tilt screen for vertical low angle shots.
  3. Ok, the camera I was having the LCD screen issue with is the X-E3, not the X-T3. I have so many Fuji bodies, including the GFX 50s, that I get confused on which model I am using. X-E3 was the LCD issue.
  4. OK, I feel soooooooooooooo stupid, I just pressed the DISP Back button and the image on the LCD returned. I am so used to using my X-T3 and X-Pro2, that this was an oversight on my part. I've been doing photography for over 50 years. Once we went to digital, I felt like an idiot. the reason I fell in love with the Fuji system, is because they went with analog design, it felt like a normal regular film camera and not have to go through menus, which I despise. So if you are having the LCD black out image, try the DISP button and you might get lucky like me.
  5. I too just started having this issue today. earlier this year I had my X-T3 camera converted to B&W IR. it has been working fine until today. I placed a full charged battery into the camera, placed a lens on the camera and switched it on, and cant get an image on the LCD. I can see the image in the EVF, and in playback mode. But cant use the LCD to view. someone on this thread mentioned a setting. does anyone know of such a setting? I'd appreciate any help, thank you
  6. I am and industrial photographer who shot medium and large format film. But for fine art portable work, I bought a Leica and two lenses. until a few years ago, I shot all Nikon digital, because I had so much Nikon Glass, was locked into their system. A Contax friend talked me into the X-Pro 1 and two new hi end zooms for my fine art, 10-24, and the 18-135. both produce great images. But when I tried shooting my grandson's little league games, the camera wouldn't focus fast enough. I ended up purchasing the Fuji X-E2 with their very fine 18-55 lens (also a Sunwayfoto L-bracket/grip). This camera is heads above my favorite X-Pro1 for focusing, and hand held work. I think if you use the fast prime X lenses, you will find this might be the answer to your needs. the only draw back I have found (besides no tilting LCD screen) might be the flash system (perhaps Metz might have a flash that works). I shoot homes for builders and realtors, so I shoot off camera flash units fired with a radio control. yes, I think Sony would be my second choice, but don't underestimate Fuji. they might be slow getting up to speed with the competition, but when the do, it is usually a very fine product, which is why Hasselblad had them make some of their cameras and lenses. On another note, Hasselblad has a modified Sony full frame DSLR (I know its heavy and larger) camera that they were selling for $12,000. since they couldn't give this camera away, B&H has been trying to sell them for $3,999, with a very fine 12-70mm 2.8 lens. Even though it's a Sony, dressed as a Hasselblad, it means that Hasselblad probably tweaked this camera to the highest specs. which means this might be a great all around one lens travel camera if you don't mind the size
  7. Hi Folks, For over 20 years I was a corporate industrial photographer working in the Aerospace/Defense industry, photographing ships, aircraft and radar sites at military bases and around the country. I mostly shot large and medium format, but now since photography has gone all (mostly) digital, I use Nikons for my professional work, which is mostly architectural / real estate and events. I have always been impressed with Fuji glass, and have used their 6x9 super wide cameras and view camera lenses on my 4x5s. Being a former Leica M user, I found the Fuji X-Pro1 and X-E2 system to be the closest thing to shooting with my Leica, which I use for fine art. I am finding the quality of my Fuji X lenses to rival or surpass my Nikon glass, but unfortunately find higher dynamic range on my Nikons, and have to use both systems. I am hoping when the new Pro-2 body comes out, the quality will surpass my Nikons, (which I will sell) and be able to stick to one camera system.
