    kielinski got a reaction from toiyeumetre in My favorite camera bag is...   
    I use a Think Tank City Walker 10.  
    Great bag.  Light, durable, plenty of pockets.  
    Holds my X-T1 w/dovetail grip, 18-55, 55-200, 14, and 23mm lenses.  Tabletop tripod, flash, extra batteries, cards, sketchbook, pens/pencils, tablet, phone, etc. - no problem. 
     
    It has the two things I need in any shoulder bag - the ability to stand on its own when on the ground and, the most important for me, side pockets that can hold a water bottle or be a temporary, quick access spot for lenses while shooting.

    Hi!
    I'm a working pro based in Philadelphia, PA USA.  I still mostly use Nikon's for most of my commercial photo/video work, but love the X system for it's size, handling, and image quality (COLOR!).  
     
    I'm looking forward to the next firmware update and the next generation of bodies!  24mp w/ decent video would be fan-effing-tastic!

    I used a Think Tank City Walker 10 for a couple years.  Pretty nice, lightweight bag - good for a body and a couple lens + small accessories.  As my X system grew it started to feel cramped so I started looking around for something else.
     
    I went for an old favorite, the Domke F-2.  Tough, old school style and affordable (at least compared to a lot of other camera bags).  Plenty of room left for another lens, backup body, etc.
     
      
     
     
     
    FWIW - I still use my first, now well worn Domke F-2 as a utility bag - hauling around flash accessories, Go Pro's and such.  This one started out solid black in 1996.

    kielinski got a reaction from DerBielefelder in Do we have any X-users using their X cameras for sports?   
    I used my X-T1 to shoot some (about 15 minutes) Major League Soccer a couple of weeks ago.  It was not an enjoyable experience, especially after shooting the first 60 minutes with a D800 (that has a slow frame rate by todays standards,too!).  I'm very much looking forward to any improvements in Firmware 4.0.
     
    I got some decent shots with the Fuji, but missed MANY.  I include this one not because I think it's a great one, but because I like how their legs lined up!

    kielinski got a reaction from remeife in Timelapse   
    I finally realized that the X-T1 had an interval shooting timer built in so yesterday I went out and made a few clips - processed in Bridge/Photoshop.  I'm by no means a seasoned timelapser - really just have messed around in the past and done short clips as an add on to jobs here and there.
     
    Camera had no problem with 2sec. interval raw capture - never hiccuped using a 95MB/s Sandisk card.  I switched over to jpeg (Chrome) after the first clip to save myself disk space and time on the computer.  
     
    In the past I've always used manual lenses for time lapse stuff so I kind of forgot about potential exposure/aperture issues with modern lens designs.
     
    23mm did a fine job - very consistent exposures throughout.
     
    18-55mm - not so much.  Exposure "flicker" is apparent.  Sure, it can be fixed with software, but that's a step I wouldn't mind avoiding.
     
       
    I haven't tried the 14mm or 55-200mm yet (that's it for Fuji glass in my bag for now) but my hypothesis is that having a real aperture ring is beneficial.  In that case, the 14mm would be good, 55-200mm bad.  I'll probably test it out today.  
     
    Anyone have experience with some of the other X lenses?

    kielinski reacted to citral in IQ of Zooms vs Primes   
    So in short let's just spin facts around until they fit our own biased opinion?

    It's strange because I read only "almost", "quite" and "nearly" in the reviews. So let's not spin this : if absolute best possible IQ is what one wants, the primes still beat the zooms on sharpness, contrast, bokeh. Not to mention the IQ of the 10-24 at f/1.4 and f/2.8 is unknown.

    Zooms have come a long way and are close, but not "on par".

    This is ridiculous. Hoh hehhh I love so much my big zoom am just gonna declare it as good as primes and ignore everything including basic laws of physics and lens design lalala.

    I may be stretching the definition of "sport" a little far but these guys were definitely hunting for great shots.  There's an annual contest for the best images of migrating raptors.  Conowingo Dam in Maryland, USA.
