BarwickGreen reacted to Prabbit in Cool power adapter for Fuji-X battery charger
Hi Fuji-X buddies,
When I got my X-E2, the charger came with a monstrous power cable that was way too long and way too annoying to travel with. Enter this cool adapter from Amazon: amzn.com/B004OGXY72
It's shown in action below. Now I can carry something really useful instead of the power cord. Tequila, for example.
Best to all,
Peter

BarwickGreen got a reaction from andrewlee in Leica APO-TELEVID 77
Does this count?
It's a Leica Apo-Televid 77 Spotting scope, SLR Adaptor, T-Mount to Fuji X Adaptor and an X-T1. The telescopes were made for a while and were quite popular, but the adaptors are extremely rare, it took me years to find one!
It creates an F10 800mm lens, depth of field is tiny but it shows promise, you can see a test shot on Flickr here https://flic.kr/p/tgKeZb

BarwickGreen reacted to Adam Woodhouse in Your X camera wishlist
I would really like to see a preview option that shows highlight blowouts (clipping) when reviewing a photo. I used that a lot on my SLR and miss having it on the X-T1.
Also a good flash. I use the iNissin on my X-T1 and it gets me by ... but it is unreliable at times and it is a bit to delicate. A robust, ready to work flash (something around the size of the Nikon SB700 would be nice) for the Fuji bodies would be nice to see (with TTL support obviously). Most don't shoot wireless TTL but if it has that, that would be a nice perk.

Just an unannounced examination of her shoe cabinet...

My wife doesn't know one lens from another, unless it is a very different shape. So that's easy. Buy a small one, a medium one and a big one. Never let her see more than one of each size at any given time, and she thinks I only have 3 lenses. I store them in a bag on the top shelf in my toys cupboard and she isn't tall enough to see what's in there.
I suspect she knows I have more than 3 lenses, but she goes along with the pretence.

Ditto
Besides, I do photography for a living. My better half is my competitor. And she's a Nikon shooter. Why the hell would I ask for her approval?
