    Fuji 55-200

    quincy replied to Tommyboy's topic in Fuji X Lenses

    Try shooting from a tripod, and try taking pictures of things that are closer to the camera. But mine does not wobble at all, and honestly, I think your lens is defective. You can have a short look at my XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Album to see what you can expect from a working sample.

    I just found out that there is a lens that I have not listed so far: The Meyer Optik Görlitz Primoplan 75 mm f/1.9. https://www.meyer-optik-goerlitz.com/de/primoplan-75-f1.9?number=MOG7519FX&c=4 I will include that one soon.

    Maybe have a look at the Samyang 135mm F2.0 ED UMC. If you're fine with manual focus you'd get a relatively cheap lens that's nearly as long as the 50-140 but even one stop faster.

    The Samyang/Rokinon 20mm F1.8 ED AS UMC lens has been released today. I've updated the OP accordingly.

    Hey folks, I've updated the OP with all the new information, except the "cen" lens yukosteel found on ebay. I just can't find any more information about the lens or the manufacturer, so I have to schedule that one to "later". @photonongrata: Thank You. This list has become the "community project" I wanted it to be, with everyone contributing by posting new stuff and discussing, which in return makes me happy.

    Hey guys, thank you all for your help and input, please keep this up! ... however, I have to tell you that I probably won't be able to update the OP before the 25th. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't have the time to do it at the moment.

    Hi, I've now updated the OP with all the new information. (Added Wesley Macro MC, MOG Primoplan, moved some newly released lenses in the upper list etc.) To me, this Wesley lens looks like it's made in the same factory as the zonlai ones, just with switched focus/aperture ring. I've therefore merged them into one category, but put them as separate lenses.

    Soo... let me try: It's not feline, that's where I'm sure, and I'm completely sure it's no bear. What's left are the canines. No fox, probably no dog... that's why I'd say some kind of wolf, maybe. But the nose looks too short, there are teeth missing behind the (very large) canines, and... I don't know, maybe I need to think again.

    Mmmmmmh that looks tasty! I hope it was as good as it looks! And thanks for this thread, I had a lot of fun.

    The Battery Grip also works as a dual charger... just in case you wanted one anyway.

    Beautiful!

    Yay, free brownies!

    Hey qwertz7, i've tried myself what you describe, and I can confirm your findings. My X-T1 does'nt do it, but my X-T2 does. What i actually get are more details in dark areas, which i can tune down afterwards if i want to (usually i'm happy about the added details), so it's fine for me. But I can understand your frustration with this behavior.
  14. quincy
    The only thing that comes to my mind then would be Mammoth. That could also explain the darker color.
  15. quincy
    I'd say Elephant, but from that picture alone I can't estimate the size of the thing.

    I started out trying to correct for the slight barrel distortion this lens has (-1.88 % according to lenstip), but in the end I decided not to do that anymore. Instead, I keep the camera leveled when taking pictures. By doing this you get a straight horizon, and the barrel distortion of the rest of the image is nearly imperceptible. Other types of 'distortions', like volume deformation, will of course be visible if you place your subject too close to the edge of your frame, or too close to the lens, but when photographing e.g. flowers, you can use those effects to your advantage.

    Hi molusk, thank you for bringing this up. To me, they look exactly like the Zonlai 25/1.8 and 35/1.8. Therefore, I'd like to add the new manufacturer/trademark (Starblitz) to Zonlai, as I did with Meike/Kaxinda and Samyang/Rokinon/etc. Interesting information about the new lenses. Did they say when to expect the longer ones? About the adapter: It works like a lens with 'all lens group' focusing: the whole lens is moved back and forth to achieve focus for different distances.

    Well... until today at least: http://www.cmosis.com/news/latest_news/industrys_first_global_shutter_48mpixel_cmos_image_sensor_from_cmosis_supports_8k_image_resolution
  19. quincy
    Yeah, I should have read the OP. It's not WR either.
  20. quincy
    why does it have to be "non expanding"? And what's wrong with the 55-200?

    Lucky You! Now go out and make some landscape images for us!
  22. quincy
    You're absolutely right. I use the Sirui with my 100-400, and that's a perfect fit for me. But for landscape photography, I often don't even take it with me or leave it in the car. That's why I'd buy a smaller, lighter one for this usage, and then I'd choose one that can't be extended so far, but is rigid and can go low to the ground if needed. Maybe the Novoflex I recommended is still too big/heavy.
  23. quincy
    I've got the Sirui T-2004X with the Sirui G-10X ballhead. The build quality is very good, stability is great, but to be honest for my liking it's too big and too heavy for just an X-T1+XF16 (or XF18-55 in my case) and landscape photography. A few tips that helped me while searching for tripods: too many segments (in the legs) decrease stability, the center column shouldn't be used if you want sharp images with long exposures (it can be useful if you just want to support the weight of your camera), for landscape you rather need a tripod that goes low, not one that goes high, and carbon isn't always good. If I were in the market for a (landscape) tripod right now I'd buy the Novoflex Triopod or TrioBalance with the short 4-Segmented aluminiumlegs.

    Have Fun!
