    Prime Lenses (15 lenses)
     
    XF 14mm F2.8 R product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,18 m - Magnification: 1:8.33 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 58,4 mm - Weight: 235 g - Price (approx.): €880/$700
    Currently the widest prime in the native lens lineup. It’s said to be very sharp, but now that the XF 16mm F1.4 R WR is out, which is not much more expensive, two stops faster and weather resistant, it should be considered if the extra 2mm wide angle are really needed. The manual focus ring can be pulled back to engage manual focus mode, and reveals depth of field and distance scales. (Reviews at Fuji vs. Fuji, Fuji X-Files)
     
    XF 16mm F1.4 R WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,15 m - Magnification: 1:4.76 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 67 mm - Diameter: 73,4 mm - Length: 73 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €1000/$850
    Close-to-perfect wide angle lens, relatively high magnification due to short close focus distance, even weather resistant. Has the same manual focus mechanism as the XF 14mm F2.8 R. Only optical downside seems to be coma in the corners when wide open (bad for astrophotography). Quite big and expensive. (Reviews at Fstoppers, the digital trekker, Admiring Light)
     
    XF 18mm F2.0 R product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,18 m - Magnification: 1:7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 64,5 mm - Length: 40,6 mm - Weight: 116 g - Price (approx.): €410/$450
    One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System. Very small and light. The varying rating of the optical quality throughout many reviews suggests copy-to-copy variation. The autofocus motor used in this lens is slightly noisy compared to the virtually silent linear motors of most other Fujinon lenses. (Reviews at The Phoblographer, light priority, MacLean Photographic)
     
    XF 23mm F2.0 R WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,22 m - Magnification: 1:7.7 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 43 mm - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 51,9 mm - Weight: 180 g - Price (approx.): €499/$449
    Following the success of the XF 35mm F2.0 R WR, Fujifilm released this weather resistant medium-wide-angle prime lens, designed for rangefinder cameras. (Reviews at Jonas Rask (many images) and The Phoblographer, Comparison with the XF 23mm F1.4 R at IVAN Joshua Loh)
     
    XF 23mm F1.4 R product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,28 m - Magnification: 1:10 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 72 mm - Length: 63 mm - Weight: 300 g - Price (approx.): €890/$750
    Excellent fast medium-wide-angle prime. Have not heard anything bad about it. Has the same manual focus mechanism as the XF 14mm F2.8 R. (Reviews at la RO QUE, kwerfeldein (german), Dan Bailey)
     
    XM-FL (24mm F8.0)
    Close Focus Distance: 1 m - Magnification: 1:41 - Aperture Blades: none (fixed) - Filter Thread: none - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 21 mm - Weight: 32 g - Price (approx.): €/$85
    Fixed aperture, fixed focus body cap filter lens (soft filter & cross filter). Sharp from approximately 1 m to infinity. So far only available in Japan. (Reviews at ReViewed, DSLR Magazine (translation by Google), Infos at PetaPixel, Video from CP+ 2015 at News STC (youtube))
     
    XF 27mm F2.8 product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,34 m - Magnification: 1:10 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 39 mm - Diameter: 61,2 mm - Length: 23 mm - Weight: 78 g - Price (approx.): €350/$250
    The smallest and lightest X-Mount lens, apart from the bodycap filter lens. Optically not perfect, but still quite good when stopped down (most say from f/4 downwards). Has no aperture ring. Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, in contrast to the virtually silent linear motors used in most other lenses. (Reviews at Tom Grill, Stephen Ip, photozone , LensTip)
     
    XF 35mm F2.0 R WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,35 m - Magnification: 1:7.4 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 43 mm - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 46 mm - Weight: 170 g - Price (approx.): €400/$400
    Weather resistant normal prime lens. Designed for rangefinder cameras. It's short and gets narrower to the front, so it does not stick into the viewfinder frame. (Reviews at IvanJoshuaLoh, lenstip and FujiRumors (by Rico Pfirstinger) )
     
    XF 35mm F1.4 R product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,28 m - Magnification: 1:5.88 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 54,9 mm - Weight: 187 g - Price (approx.): €590/$400
    One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System. Very sharp in the center, mediocre corner sharpness wide open gets a lot better when stopped down from F/1.4 through F/8. Anyway, a good normal prime lens for the X-System. Only downside seemed to be the slow-ish autofocus, but that was addressed with a firmware upgrade.Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, in contrast to the virtually silent linear motors used in most other lenses. (Reviews at pixelogist, Colin Nicholls, photographylife; Comparison with the Zeiss Touit 1.8/32 at Admiring Light)
     
    XF 50mm F2.0 R WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,39m - Magnification: 1:6.7 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 46 mm - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 59,4 mm - Weight: 200 g - Price (approx.): €500/$500
    The third lens in Fujifilm's lineup of compact, weather resistant prime lenses. Keeps up with the other two. (Reviews at Johannes Morsbach, fstoppers and caveira photography)
     
    XF 56mm F1.2 R product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,7 m - Magnification: 1:11.11 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 73 mm - Length: 70 mm - Weight: 405 g - Price (approx.): €1000/$900
    The 85mm fullframe equivalent portrait prime in the lens lineup. As tested by Admiring Light, quite close to perfect. (Reviews at Admiring Light, Nathan Elson, Olaf Photoblog, Jonas Jacobsson)
     
    XF 56mm F1.2 R APD product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,7 m - Magnification: 1:11.11 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 73 mm - Length: 70 mm - Weight: 405 g - Price (approx.): €1300/$1200
    Same as above, but with built in apodization filter (radial, gradual neutral density filter that gets darker towards the corners) to smoothen out the bokeh at the expense of lens brightness. Instead of f/1.2, the maximum light transmissivity is equivalent to t/1.7. This effect is neutralized at f/5.6. A very unique portrait prime, but it does not support phase detection autofocus. (Comparison between APD and non-APD version at Fuji vs. Fuji)
     
    XF 60mm F2.4 R Makro product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,27 m - Magnification: 1:2 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 39 mm - Diameter: 64,1 mm - Length: 70,9 mm - Weight: 215 g - Price (approx.): €600/$450
    One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System, and the first macro lens, although the maximum magnification is only 1:2. It is very sharp, but has really slow autofocus. Works well for portraits and stationary subjects like product photography or flowers. When approaching living subjects like bugs, the focal length, and thus the close focus distance, might be too short. Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, like the XF 27mm F2.8 and the XF 35mm F1.4 R. (Reviews at ishootshows, daisuki photo, The Phoblographer)
     
    XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,25m - Magnification: 1:1 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 80 mm - Length: 130 mm - Weight: 750 g - Price (approx.): €1300/$1200
    The first native 1:1 macro lens for the X-system. This is an impressively sharp lens with a very well working optical stabilizer. The AF is quick, even in the macro range, and does not hunt much.
     
    XF 90mm F2.0 R LM WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,6 m - Magnification: 1:5 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 75 mm - Length: 105 mm - Weight: 540 g - Price (approx.): €900/$950
    A pretty outstanding short telephoto prime lens, if you like the focal length. (Reviews at Jonas Rask, macfilos; Comparison with the XF 56mm F1.2 R at Tools & Toys)
     
     
    Zoom Lenses (12 lenses)
     
    XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,13 m - Magnification: -- - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 62,6 mm - Length: 44,2 mm - Weight: 135 g - Price (approx.): €299/$299
    First powerzoom lens for Fujifilm X-Mount cameras.
     
    XC 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,3 m - Magnification: 1:6.67 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 62,6 mm - Length: 65,2 mm - Weight: 195 g - Price (approx.): €320/$340
    The cheapest zoom lens for the X-Mount, intended as a standard zoom kit lens for the cheaper entry level bodies. No aperture ring, no switch for OIS. Quite small and light. Compared to the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS, it sacrifices about one stop of light through the whole focal length range, as well as 5mm of focal length at the long end, but gains important 2mm of wide angle. (Reviews at Admiring Light, Imaging Resource)
     
    XC 16-50mm II F3.5-5.6 OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,15 m - Magnification: 1:7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 62,6 mm - Length: 65,2 mm - Weight: 195 g - Price (approx.): €--/$--
    New version, bundled with the new Fujifilm X-A2. Better build quality, closer minimum focus distance.
     
    XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 70 mm - Length: 111 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €250/$400
    This cheap telephoto zoom lens is a bit smaller and quite a bit lighter than the XF 55-200mm F/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS and has no aperture ring. But depending on the intended use, the slower aperture range needs to be taken into consideration. (Reviews at macingosh, riflessifotografici; Comparison with the XF 55-200 F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS at Colin Nicholls)
     
    XC 50-230mm II F4.5-6.7 OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 69,5 mm - Length: 111 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €--/$--
    New version, bundled with the new Fujifilm X-A2. Better optical stabilization than the predecessor (3.5 stops instead of 3 stops)
     
    XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,45 m - Magnification: 1:3.7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 67 mm - Diameter: 75,7 mm - Length: 97,8 mm - Weight: 490 g - Price (approx.): €800/$750
    Fuji's take on a weather resistant always-on travelzoom. Optically, it seems to be good for what it is, but the aperture range does not impress, which is of course a compromise for smaller size and lower weight. (Reviews at Dan Bailey, Admiring Light, The Phoblographer)
     
    XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R LM OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,3 m - Magnification: 1:6.67 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 70,4 mm - Weight: 310 g - Price (approx.): €700/$600
    Is said to be the standard zoom "kit" lens for the X-Mount. My experience says, it's much better than the usual APS-C kit lens. Rather comparable to the f/4 L kit lenses canon sells with its full frame cameras. The aperture range is good, the size and weight is perfect, optical image stabilization works very well, and the lens is sharp. Really nothig to complain, especially since it comes at about 350-400€ when bought as a kit. (Reviews at Mark Schueler, photomadd, la RO QUE)
     
    XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5.56 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 75 mm - Length: 118 mm - Weight: 580 g - Price (approx.): €670/$550
    This lens does not have the reach of the cheaper XC 50-230mm F/4.5-6.7 OIS, but with an aperture range from 3.5 to 4.8 it is a lot brighter, and therefore much more usable for the common telephoto applications (a.k.a. wildlife). Very compact when collapsed, and doubles as acceptable macro lens when combined with a +3 diopters achromat. This lens is very sharp wide open, even at the long end. (Reviews at Admiring Light, prophotonut (NSFW), Steeve Marcoux)
     
    XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR product page
    Close Focus Distance:1,75m - Magnification: 1:5.26 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 77 mm - Diameter: 95 mm - Length: 210 mm - Weight: 1375 g - Price (approx.): €1800/$1800
    An outstanding long telephoto zoom lens, offering 5 stops of optical image stabilization. It is sharper when focused close, but the sharpness at infinity focus can be regained when closing the aperture down to f/8. This lens is compatible with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverter. With the 2x teleconverter attached, all current camera models lose phase detection autofocus and have to use contrast detection autofocus. (Reviews at Bill Fortney, Admiring Light, Mindshard part 1 part 2 and Glazer's Camera)
     
    XF 10-24mm F4.0 R OIS product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,24 m - Magnification: 1:6.25 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 72 mm - Diameter: 78 mm - Length: 87 mm - Weight: 410 g - Price (approx.): €950/$850
    The widest lens in the Fujinon X-Mount lineup. Nothing bad to say about this one, too. (Reviews at Leigh Miller, Alik Griffin, photography life, photomadd)
     
    XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,3 m - Magnification: 1:6.25 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 77 mm - Diameter: 83,3 mm - Length: 106 mm - Weight: 655 g - Price (approx.): €1100/$1100
    The pro-oriented standard zoom lens. Very good build and image quality, but also very big, heavy and expensive compared to the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS. The 2mm shorter focal length at the wide end, as well as the fixed aperture and the weather sealing might be the decisive factors for buying this lens instead of the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS, which in turn has optical image stabilization. (Reviews at photography life, Jonas Jacobsson; Comparison with the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS at Admiring Light)
     
    XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR product page
    Close Focus Distance: 1 m - Magnification: 1:8.33 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 72 mm - Diameter: 82,9 mm - Length: 175,9 mm - Weight: 995 g - Price (approx.): €1500/$1500
    The pro-oriented medium telezoom lens. The image quality of this lens is beyond question, but it's the biggest, heaviest and also most expensive lens apart from the new 100-400. It is compatible with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. Cameras retain phase detection autofocus with this lens and the 2x teleconverter attached. (Reviews at Dan Bailey, Jonas Rask)

    Touit 2.8/12 product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,18 m - Magnification: 1:9 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 67 mm - Diameter: 88 mm - Length: 68 mm - Weight: 270 g - Price (approx.): €850/$700
    A lot more expensive than its direct competitor, the Samyang 12mm 2.0, which is even one full stop faster. The Samyang does not have autofocus, but at those short focal lengths, the depth of field is very large anyway, and Fujifilm cameras have focus peaking to aid manual focussing. (Reviews at The Luminous Landscape, PetaPixel, The Phoblographer)
     
    Touit 1.8/32 product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,37 m - Magnification: 1:9 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 58 mm - Weight: 210 g - Price (approx.): €600/$500
    Some say it's as good as the XF 35mm 1.4, some say it is not. I guess the decision is up to personal preference. (Reviews at Paultography Blog, Admiring Light, Brian Smith (Sony))
     
    Touit 2.8/50M product page
    Close Focus Distance: 0,15 m - Magnification: 1:1 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 91 mm - Weight: 290 g - Price (approx.): €900/$1000
    The first macro lens for the X-Mount with a magnification of 1:1. When approaching living subjects like bugs, the focal length, and thus the close focus distance, might be too short. (Reviews at The Phoblographer, Tom Grill, Photo Madd, Passports & Lenses)

    Mirror tele lens, similar to those sold by Samyang. Ring-shaped out of focus highlights, not very sharp.

    The fastest lens for the Fuji X-Mount, as well as the fastest CSC-Lens overall. Very long close focus distance, big, heavy, extremely expensive. A lot of purple fringing, and not extremely sharp.

    Big, heavy full frame DSLR lens that was adapted to the X-Mount, as many other within the Samyang Lineup.

    Seems to be a cheap, fast medium telephoto lens. Not as sharp as the XF 90mm F2.0 R LM WR wide open. Adapted full frame DSLR lens, but this has less impact in size and weight with longer focal lengths. (Reviews at cameralabs, Bob Atkins, pictures at Donald Falls' flickr photo stream)

    True 1:1 macro lens for the X-Mount. Pictures shown so far look very promising, but with the XF 80mm 2.8 in the pipeline, it should be considered to wait for that one and have a fast telephoto lens with autofocus. Adapted full frame DSLR lens, but this has less impact in size and weight with longer focal lengths. (Review at ephotozine and pictures at Transcontinenta BV's flickr photo stream)

    Huge full frame DSLR lens, adapted to the X-Mount. Excellent image quality. A smaller alternative with autofocus and weather sealing is the XF 90mm F2.0 R LM WR. The XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR, though not smaller or lighter, also adds autofocus, weathersealing, image stabilization and the flexibility of a zoom.

    It's a long telephoto, but it's also a reflex design. And the (fixed) aperture is a bit slow. Pictures don't look sharp and show a lot of CA.

    WR means weather resistant, not waterproof. The sealing is there for accidental exposure only, not for continuous use. You can get lucky for a long time, but sooner or later you will run into problems if you use it like that.

    Here is that other forums posters final report:
     
    As you all know, Fujifilm is handling my repair under warranty and I will receive my camera on Monday. Some of you were asking for details on the cause and damage assessment. Below is an email I received from Fujifilm:
    Your X-T2 body was evaluated by our technical staff and upon inspection moisture was found inside the camera body. This moisture had permeated some key components and was related to the camera malfunction you experienced. Although your camera is dust/moisture "resistant" and is weather sealed, it must have been exposed to a good amount of moisture. Body is not "water proof". In this case, we gave you the benefit of the doubt and decided to handle your service request under warranty at no charge. We appreciate your business.
    Though Fujifilm is covering my repair under warranty it was done so by giving me the "benefit of the doubt." Therefore, this appears to be a subjective decision by Fujifilm to cover my repair under warranty. I wonder under what conditions Fujifilm would not cover repair of moisture damage under warranty? It appears that covering moisture damage under warranty is still a vague issue. Then again, for all we know, Fujifilm could be covering all moisture damage under warranty. Anyway, I'm thrilled that Fujifilm covered the repair and I have a very positive impression of Fujifilm and their customer service.

    steviewonder reacted to Adam Woodhouse in Blur issue on X-T2 ?!   
    Very odd.  I have shot 4 weddings with my XT2 and some high school football.  Images are razer sharp when I nail focus and don't have camera shake.  I have found in going from XT1 to XT2 (as I found the same when I went from 12mp Nikon to 24mp Nikon) that it is much easier to have a slightly soft image due to camera shake because the greater pixel density of the same size sensor will be less forgiving with camera shake at same focal lengths.  This was a common problem people that jumped on the Nikon D800 band-wagon when it first came out.  Many didn't do their homework and learned (for some a costly lesson) that they can't hand hold that camera at the lower shutter speeds like they use to on their previous lower MP cameras.  Nikon's public response was "the new D800 forces you to be a better photographer".  LOL   There was a ton of buzz about it because so many people noticed it.  The new Canon 50mp have addressed this in their hardware/software.  The greater the pix density, the more noticeable camera shake (even when it is very little) appears.
     
    I'm not saying that is the cause (particularly if manual focus works perfect every time and AF does not) ... I'm saying I've seen something similar at another time and that was the cause back then.

    steviewonder reacted to BobJ in Some XT-2 observations that could be helpful   
    Having had my XT-2 for a couple of weeks now, here are few observations which might be helpful, especially if you are thinking of buying one.
     
    I surely cannot be the only one that was nearly driven mad by the XT-1s easily jogged controls. They put an additional lock in with one of the firmware updates which I had to use to lock the shutter mode lever, otherwise it would constantly get changed. I bought a thumb grip too which helped with the controls on that side. in my hands at least, the XT-2 does not seem to need any of these bodges. There is no custom lock function but mercifully I have not found any tendency for the controls to give me a surprise.
     
    There is a 'hidden' feature that is very useful when taking night shots. In the display custom setting you can enable a very thin green line around the image area so that you can see where the edges are against the black surround in the EVF. It is hardly visible in good light so it can be left on all the time. To get it go to screen setup > display custom setting and tick the box which says 'focus frame'.
     
    The menu is much improved and is more intuitive.
     
    The battery meter now tells something like the truth. This means that you no longer have to panic halfway through shooting the Red Arrows display when you realise that the battery indicator has gone down to 2 bars! I haven't timed it but the red indication seems to last much longer before the camera dies.
     
    Not only is the EVF brighter but there is an auto brightness setting that works reasonably well. It's not perfect but does save a lot of the fiddling about when going from sunshine to indoors etc. I wear eyeglasses and I tried the bigger eyecup with the XT-1. It was no use at all and was obviously designed for those who are not '4 eyes'. The new cup on the XT-2 is larger than the standard XT-1 cup but works well with my glasses.
     
    The new vertical power grip has an improvement over the XT-1 version that I have not seen mentioned elsewhere. The XT-1 grip was hopeless on a tripod with the 55-200, especially if there was any wind, as it flexed. Try it yourself. Fit the camera to the tripod and lightly tap the end of the lens. Now try it with the grip attached. I am glad to report that the XT-2 grip is solid.
     
    It is possible to see a difference in resolution with the new sensor, but the main thing is that it gives more scope for cropping. I love the square option but why didn't Fuji take the opportunity to add a 4:3? The noise seems a bit better and the dynamic range is probably about the same, although I have not ran tests and so take this with a pinch of salt - just my impressions after a short amount of use.
     
    The Grain Effect thing was obviously engineered by someone that has never seen film grain - sorry Fuji. However the Acros setting is nice.
     
    The ability to have raw written to one card and jpeg to the other is a good feature for me. I normally use raw but now I have a choice without having to download the jpegs if I don't want them .
     
    A tip for raw shooting that also applies to the XT-1. Assign one of the buttons to 'preview pic effect'. The view with it off is unhelpfully flat but the histogram is much more accurate for raw and shows the highlight cut-off fairly well. So when shooting those landscapes in raw you can switch off pic effect to check the histogram.
     
    They have moved the tripod bush to the centre. This means that if you don't want a grip, but you do want to change the battery without taking off your arca Swiss tripod plate, you don't have to buy Fuji's ludicrously overpriced MHG-XT2. Just buy an ordinary plate from one of the Chinese suppliers on Ebay for less than £5. Don't buy one that is longer than 65mm though.
     
    Finally the Nissin i40. I might post this separately as well as I know there are some i40 users out there. It's the good news and the bad news. The bad news is that it won't work at all on the XT-2. The good news is that if you send Kenro (in the case of the UK) a request to have the i40 firmware updated for the XT-2 they will fix it for £20 + vat. You have to send it to them. Now for more bad news. I had a Canon style off-camera cable which worked perfectly on the XT-1. Not on the XT-2. I assume that they are using the sixth contact which the cable does not cater for. I also have some old Yongnuo remotes which would work the i40 in manual - but they won't work either. So now I have an i40 which works, but not off camera.
     
    I hope all this helps someone.

    steviewonder reacted to danwells in The new flash units?   
    I can't even figure out what the new flash unit IS. Fuji (as is well known) doesn't make their existing flashes - they buy them from (former maker of sturdy mid-line flashes, now junk flash purveyor) Sunpak. My first thought when I saw the announcement was "I wonder which Sunpak this is, and what the reviews are like"? Two of Fuji's three existing flashes are identical to Sunpak models, but sell for about 25% more (the EF-X20 has similar specs to the Sunpak RD-2000, but adds manually variable power, which the Sunpak doesn't have). The EF-X 500 is not any existing Sunpak... They made a flash with an identical guide number, but it's an older model with a much less sophisticated interface, and it's (recently?) discontinued. It could be the successor model to that, or it could be something else.
     
    One rainy afternoon, I sorted through B+H's collection of dedicated flashes (for other brands), to see if I could find out what this one is - hoping to find reviews. I hoped it would be  from a well-known maker of decent flashes (Metz?) or someone up-and-coming like Phottix. I figured that I'd find it pretty quickly. It's almost certainly not a Metz - once you get into the higher power levels, including the GN 50 model this is close to, Metz flashes are touchscreen (with almost no buttons). I'm not AT ALL sure I want a touchscreen on a flash, but that's what Metz uses. It doesn't look anything like a Phottix, either - they don't have a model in this power range, and they don't use the wheel-and-softkeys interface that this unit has.
     
    I then looked at everyone else (once my three best theories were shot), and I still couldn't find it. Nothing's even close - most flashes with a control wheel have only a couple of (marked) buttons, and most flashes that use softkeys (unmarked buttons with the label on the display) have no wheel. Two of the very few wheel AND softkeys flashes are the Nikon SB910 (and the new SB5000) and the Canon 600EX, about the LEAST likely flashes for Fuji to get ahold of and rebrand (and the guide numbers are wrong)!
     
    I'm not AT ALL sure what this is! I briefly considered the idea that Fuji might have made the darn thing themselves, and it's not an especially close relative of any other flash. The reason I discarded that idea (besides that Fuji is known to buy flashes, and has never, to my knowledge, made one) is that it is made in China. I would think a genuine Fuji flash would be made in either Japan (at the Fuji Sendai plant that makes the X-Pro, X-T and X100 lines) or Thailand. Made in China suggests that it is most likely from one of the lower-end flash manufacturers (Metz is German, and makes their higher end units in Germany, and most other higher-end flash makers manufacture in Japan) - although Phottix may very well manufacture in China, and a Phottix would make a lot of Fuji photographers very happy.
     
    My best guess (unfortunately, in my opinion) is that we're looking at a brand-new Sunpak model. Sunpak may be planning to release their version of it at CP+ in February, and they could actually beat Fuji to market - maybe that's why the flash is delayed compared to the X-Pro2 and other announcements from Friday?

    If the XT-2 has the features I expect (2 SD slots, 5 or more bracket shots, better AF and 24 MP) I will be purchasing it. I have seen and read the numerous “advice needed” threads, but still am not sure about my best options.
     
    We travel a lot, and I don’t like to check my luggage. As a result, my camera gear has to fit in my Retrospective 10, although my tripod goes in my carry on suitcase. Our last trip (Oaxaca, Mexico), I had my Nikon D800 with a 24-120 mm f/4 lens. At night I just carried a Sony RX100 IV, which goes from 20-70 mm, but is fast (f/1.8), small and light. When I look at my travel shooting range, many shots are at 24 and 120, as well as in the 45-65 mm range.  While traveling, I am usually shooting street scenes rather than wildlife or landscapes; two of my Oaxaca shots are posted below as examples of what I like to do.
     
    If I’m taking a road trip to the US Southwest, I’ll still bring my D800 and a wide angle lens. However, I’m planning trips to Portugal, Spain and Italy and want to travel lighter as I feel the weight of the D800 by the end of the day. I hate changing lenses as I’m tired of sensor dust, no matter how careful I try to be.
     
    In terms of Fuji lenses, I am already planning to buy the 10-24 and the 35 f/2 but may not travel with them. The travel lens choices, and my concerns, are:  
     
    18-55 and/or 55-200 (pretty good for kit lenses, but would have to change lenses often to cover my usual 24-120 range)
     
    50-140 (amazing reviews, but big, heavy, and nothing wide or normal)
     
    16-55 (again, amazing quality but heavy and no OIS)
     
    18-135 (the jack-of-all-trades lens, but apparently soft at the long end and fairly slow with no constant aperture; had considered this and a 35 f/2 as my best option)
     
    So, given my needs, and desire to have one (or maybe 2 lenses, like a small light one for evenings), what suggestions do you folks have? Thanks in advance.

    It's tough for me to get down to just 2 lenses for a travel kit without using the 18-135, which I own, but I'm not a big fan of when it can be avoided. My 3 lens travel kit is the 10-24mm, 35mm f/1.4, and 55-200mm. I find that many things from 25-54mm I can zoom with my feet using the 35. I use the wide and normal lenses on my Pro2 and the 55-200 on the X-T1 to minimize lens changes. I realize that changes if you're only using one Fuji body though. My 4 lens travel kit is the 16mm, 23mm, 35mm, and 55-200mm, again with the primes on the Pro2 and the 55-200mm on the T1. I rarely crop images, but if I need to be quick, the Pro2 gives me a little extra resolution to work with, while the 55-200 on the T1 I compose a little more carefully in the camera. For a 2 lens solution, the 18-135mm and either the 10-24mm or 35mm f/1.4 depending on what kind of trip I'm going on.

    I am going to advocate for the 18-135, it's really the jack-of-all-trade, it does have some IQ issues when compared to the other Fuji lenses, but not having to care too much about the weather and not having to change the lens with a focal view of 27-205mm (35mm equiv) is just way to handy to have.
     
    My light travel kit lens is the 10-24, the 18-135 and the 35mm F1.4 for low light situation, with these 3 lenses, I am covered for pretty much 95% of all situations.
     
    Now that's only if you really loathe changing lenses during your trip, if you do not mind that part, others above have all posted very good options that will have less IQ compromise than my kit.

    I'd personally choose 18-55mm and make all the shots with it. My spare lens would be 35mm f1.4 or 35mm f2 (it's good to have backup jus tin case primary lens got broken).
     
    I moved from Nikon D600 plus a lot of heavy and fast AF glass, as I mostly use primes. With Fuji-X system everything become so small and versatile, that I carry camera every day with me, no matter where I go.
