I loved my Samyang 12mmf2,  sold it and got the XF16mm1.4.  But now selling my 16mm to go back to Samyang. 
It's easy to manual focus and takes great astrophotography shots. Also great for travel and skateboard photography.

Hey, great answer! It took a little more force than I expected but seeing your photos and reading your description gave me the confidence to go ahead with it. I really appreciate you taking the trouble jerryy!

New and Improved Answer! As intimated earlier, now with images!
 

X-T30 ready for the change.

 
Remove the L-Bracket and the battery.

 
Grab the tab and slide it out.

 
And up.

 
Insert the CP-W126 DC coupler.

 
Close the battery cover and it is ready to go. When you are finished using it, reverse the process.

You certainly can copy your images from the card to the iPad, Apple sells USB-C to SD readers as well as Lightning to SD readers, it may be possible to use a USB-C TO USB-C cable to connect the camera directly to the iPad and copy the images, but I have not tried that approach. Third party vendors also sell readers for that purpose.
Using the iPad as a backup may not work as well as you want, one SD card can hold more images than most iPads have free storage space available. Even the largest capacity iPad would be hard pressed to backup four to six weeks worth of work unless you are only going to shoot a few small jpegs a day. It is a lot cheaper to get a handful of SD cards and use them as backups, copying to them the images you review and want to keep. Or get a higher capacity external USB drive and use it to store the images from the iPad. In case of disaster, try both routes.

Love this image in B&W.  I've seen similar in color but not so much in B&W.  Thanks for sharing.
 

Not proper macro shots, but I took these on my X-T4 with the 16-80 kit lens and macro extension tube. 

Napier, NZ a few years back.
I had to quickly get my camera when I saw these kids walking home late at night. It look timeless but it was 2017. Not the best crop or the sharpest but at least I got the moment.

Here's the final result. It took Focus Stacker an hour and a half.

Fujifilm X-A1 ● AMOLED white light ● walimeX pro 35mm F/1.4 AS UMC ● 35mm ● F/2.4 ● 1/2s ● ISO 200

Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro ● Metz Flash reflected ● TAMRON SP 28-80mm F/3.5-4.2 Model 27A ● (80mm) ● (F/5.6) ● 1/125s ● ISO 100

No, for most things you can leave it as ten bit video, but if you need to convert it for a device that only supports eight bit video you can convert it easily. Usually you would only convert it after all of the editing is done and then double check that to make sure nothing went awry.
You can rest assured that it looks like your X-T4 is recording ten bit video.

There are several things going on, the 18-55mm lens is not a constant aperture lens, so even with all others settings being manual, the metering is affected by the focal length. Even with spot metering being used, you have an area of 18/2.8 vs 55/4.0 for the meter to use. This happens across cameras built by every manufacturer.
You can switch to using constant aperture lenses so that the effect is not as noticeable or use “cinematic” lenses with T-Stops instead of F-Stops to make sure the light transmission is steady regardless of the zoom setting. It is more expensive, but that is the way a lot of people go to solve the issue.
edit:
p.s. Before you ask, I have never gotten a good understandable answer as to why metering should affect the exposure when the shutter speed, f-stop and ISO are all manually set.

This is standard behaviour for many zoom lenses: when you zoom in, the minimum possible aperture increases. This is a physical limitation of the lens' construction, that's why it says F2.8-4.0 and not F2.8 in the product name.

I recently bought the XT4 as my first Fujifilm camera and the following images are some of the first ones taken with the new camera, using the 16-80 kit lens.  And yes, that's me in the first one.

Thank you. I don't know why this forum won't show images from "Postimages", now there are clickable links at least.

There are lot of good ones here, but the img tags have to be removed to see them.
