  1. My X-T2 is displaying my shot on the LCD after each shot. The display says "OK Next." The image remains until I either press the OK button or half press the shutter. It only happens if I shoot using the viewfinder. It does not happen if I shoot using the LCD. I have Set Up - Screen Set Up - Image Disp. Set to Off. Any ideas what is causing this behavior?
  2. I'll leave it to others to comment on lens choice other than to say that the 18-135 and the 10-24 is my basic travel lens combination But as far as the grip is concerned, leave the grip and buy the Neewer Portable dual battery charger. It charges two batteries at once, weighs almost nothing, and cost less than $11 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Neewer+Portable+LED+Display+USB+Dual+Battery+Charger+for+Fujifilm+NP-W126+Battery%2C
  3. 18-135. I used it almost exclusively in Vietnam and Cambodia a few weeks ago. I love the results, the flexibility and the one lens solution. http://www.vinsonphotographs.com/vietnam.html
  4. I use both regularly. The image quality and convenience of the zoom makes it my go to lens for wide angle (and, I agree, turn off image stabilization whenever possible which is almost always for me since I am on a tripod). But that 16 has a special quality to it, especially when I am looking for close focus on a foreground element. I also prefer the 16 to the 23 as my walk around lens.
  5. 18-135! Just got back from a trip to Cuba. This lens never left my camera and the resolution is extremely good.
  6. I use my iPad. It will now import and read raw and I have it with me anyway.
  7. I am doing the same analysis for a trip to Cuba. My conclusion - X-T2, 14mm, the new 23mm and the 60 macro. Travel light.
  8. I ordered the grip. I will use it for landscape and star trail shooting for the extended battery life. Unlikely to use it much otherwise.
  9. I own the X-Pro2. I pre-ordered the X-T2. One for travel. One for landscapes. A perfect match.
  10. I have been a RRS customer for years but they failed with the X-E2 L bracket. There is no room for a remote cable if you want to mount the camera in vertical without it being way off center (which then makes it worthless for panos). My discussions with their support staff were extremely unsatisfactory and I doubt I will be buying from them again,
  11. "So do people who say they rarely use menus mean they rarely change the location of the focus spot or adjust the ISO during shooting?" Auto ISO solves 90% of my needs. I turn it off when shooting in Manual, but rarely else. Focus spot doesn't need a menu - just push the buttons. I have my X-E2 set so that the directional buttons are linked to the focus spot so there is no need to even push a start button. That locks out the four arrow buttons from being programmed for a function but that works for me. Any function I might ever consider changing is available in the Q menu (which I have also edited down to absolute essentials).
  12. In honor of the idiotic Apple presentation of the new iPad "correcting" a woman's smile: "There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes." - Abraham Lincoln
  13. I have and shoot both lenses regularly. They are both great lenses. I grew up with a Nikon F2 and a 50MM lens and that was it. I knew that lens inside and out and have a number of shots that stand the test of time (some 40 years). The 35mm is a good substitute for that lens on a 1.5 crop Fuji and has been a wonderful lens to use. Having said that, I probably shoot the 23mm three times more than the 35 for the reasons noted by others - the 23mm (35mm full frame equivalent) is a more interesting field for view for me. YMMV.
