    liggy reacted to tarikolmez in Going to Europe - 14/2.8 vs 10-24/4?   
    I recently used 10-24 for my Italy trip.
    and shot all my 850 photos with it and just loved the lens. It is a must have lens for travellers.

    liggy got a reaction from tarikolmez in Going to Europe - 14/2.8 vs 10-24/4?   
    I think the 10-24 is a perfect travel lens.  A recent trip to Paris and Istanbul proved it to me, for my purposes.

    liggy got a reaction from Curiojo in XT-1 Firmware Should go to Xpro-1 too   
    If the XPro2 were close - I definitely wouldn't bet on that happening. 
     
    Doubtful that the Xpro1 autofocus would even work remotely the same way as the X-T1 in any event.  XE2 perhaps, but not XPro1.

    liggy reacted to x-tc in I want the XF 10-24... is it worth selling the 18mm and 14mm for it?   
    Please be assured. Your position is well understood. It's ok not to get or like certain kinds of photography. Trying to talk people out of a lens because of this is a fools errand. Let it go.

    liggy reacted to milandro in Have Fuji ditched old x series Xe 1 and x pro 1 no sign of any updates???   
    well, everything is gone very quite indeed about the older Fuji X cameras. The potential for some update is there, obviously, but to me, it would only stand to reason if the updating of the older models would stay limited and at some time or other one would have to make a choice and upgrade or keep on working within the by that  (or perhaps this) time reached “ limits” of the older camera.
     
    There should be no shame in doing this and for most of us this won’t really mean much since the capabilities of those cameras way exceed the needs of most week-end-warriors.
     
    Classic chrome would be probably easily added to those cameras which don’t have it yet but, possibly, the new fast autofocus won’t be part of the upgrades offered to those cameras.
     
     
    Let’s face it, these cameras have reached many people and Fuji would make them happy to revive a camera several years old, but since they eat every day at Fuji as you and I do, but there is only so much that you can eat now with the money that you’ve earned  3-4-5-6 years ago( + all the costs of developing new software), so at some stage the Kaizen for older cameras will stop.
     
    I have several older Macintosh computers which still work but their software is no longer been updated. I can used an older Agfa scanner on an older Mac and use Garage band on that Mac to record music but it won’t even be wise to go on the internet ( it still works) because that OS is no longer protected from malicious users.
     
    But I am still happily using those computers to do the things that they can do.
     
    The X-Pro 1 is been sold now in my part of the world in a kit with two lenses ( 18mm, 27mm) leather cases for camera and lenses for €899 which is a lot less than the X-Pro 1 alone costed a few years ago.
    I think that the Kaizen for that camera has very likely reached its sell by date or thereabouts.
