[35mm f2 vs f1.4]

Only people who never owned the F1.4 find the F2 better, they want to feel comfortable about their purchase which is understandable.

reading is hard I guess.

[35mm f2 vs f1.4]

traded all my faster equivalents for the f/2 versions. They're sharper at the same apertures and much quieter, faster and more lightweight. Losing a soft extra stop is no real loss. Made a profit too!

[18-55 Will I be okay for now?]

also you might consider the 35mm f/2 instead - it has water resistance so will let you got out with confidence in variable weather conditions.

[Any reviews of the 16-55 (for 18-55 users)?]

That's an intriguing response, please elucidate.

lenstip are far more eloquent than me: http://www.lenstip.com/433.6-Lens_review-Fujifilm_Fujinon_XF_16-55_mm_f_2.8_R_LM_WR_Distortion.html

[Any reviews of the 16-55 (for 18-55 users)?]

no rectilinear distortion? it barrel distorts quite significantly in raw. your camera is correcting it.

[90mm f2 + Raynox 250 = True 1:1 macro]

even simpler: ZEISS Touit 2.8/50M

[Desperate for the 80mm macro]

2) All of the other major mirrorless players, Sony, Samsung (RIP), Lumix, Olympus, and Canon have 1:1 macro lenses in their line-up. Fuji don't.

[Get the 56mm f1.2 lens or wait for the 50mm f2?]

If you're photographing fast moving subjects you'll get better results from learning to do zone focusing regardless of lens on fuji.

[Do we tolerate the bodies because of the lens qualities?]

Besides the exasperating XF60mm lens, I've been perfectly happy with every combination of Fuji kit I've had, but I don't bother with the new aids, I doubt if they'll ever be able to read my mind quicker than I can operate the manual controls. It's really just a case of sticking with one body and minimal lenses until operation of the device is second nature. New bodies really just mean quicker startup, recycling and improved sensor limits.

[X-pro 2 - I don't get it!]

No. But it is definitely better, and the way, IMHO, things could have been from the start if the camera industry wasn't so resistant to change

But this is literally how every point and shoot camera has done it for years and years, it's hardly a 'change' thing.

[X-pro 2 - I don't get it!]

I prefer to have 1 or 2 batteries charging while I'm out shooting with another pair, personally. I can't take the downtime of having to tether the camera to a charger.

[X-pro 2 - I don't get it!]

1. There are much better options for 4k video than either camera

2. This is just a form factor thing surely? The X-Pro/X100 cameras are every inch designed to look vintage

3. First thing anyone who buys a camera that charges is to buy an external charger

 

All nice to haves but not showstoppers by most measures.

[X 30 clicking and flickering when moved]

The camera has OIS but I'm not sure it should behave like you're describing it.

[Complete Overview over the available and upcoming Fuji X-Mount lenses]

My samyang 8mm looks nothing like that 6.5mm

[Going to Egypt...which lenses to bring?]

I'd just take the big zoom

[Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS X Mount]

There's certainly no need to duplicate the wider end of the 10-24

[Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F/3.5-F/4.8 or XC 55-230mm F/4.5-F/6.7?]

The XC lens is available so cheap in a white box that you might as well buy it to see if it's good enough for you, you lose next to nothing if you decide to sell it on.

[Samyang/Rokinon 300mm f6.3 mirror lens]

That bokeh is giving me a seizure lol

[Long lens for Galapagos?]

I would buy the XC50-230 and hire the 100-400.

[50-140mm F4 OIS more usable]

just put the 55-200 on f/4.8 and enjoy your constant aperture f/4.8 zoom.

[The Guilty Pleasures of Buying a New lens]

I want an XC uwa zoom personally.

[Dramatic Under-Exposure Randomly with XPro2]

I think Adobe need some financial encouragement to support X-Trans properly. Capture One doesn't have any of these issues and also has a monthly subscription model, maybe that will help.

[The X-Pro1 - Still Perfectly Valid]

The EV dial only works when shutter speed is set to A on the X-Pro1. To control exposure with a fixed shutter speed requires setting iso manually, personally I have ISO assigned to the Fn button to do this.

 

But yeah, this feature was added in firmware 4.0 to the X-E2 etc.

[X-Pro 2 "f0" issue]

why would you buy an xt-1 and seldom use it?

 

no sympathy

[Using continuous AF with X-E2s]

No clutch on the 23.

There certainly is on the f/1.4
