  2. I have Lowepro Hatchvack 22L also, bought it earier for Canon gear, bur now I use it with my Fuji sometimes. Big pros of this bag is that it can store not only camera gear - also food/clothes, water bottles, and tablet. But it also has 2 cons: camera compartment is too small to store a lot of gear, so some lenses have to go to upper compartment, and second one - you should remove bag from your shoulders to change lenses. Nowadays I mostly use Thinktank Turnstyle 20 sling bag. It also has raincover, pockets for tablet and documents, but no space for clothes and water bottle. Although there is a lot of space for camera gear - it stores my X-T1 with 10-24, 18-55, 35/1.4, 60/2.4, 55-200 and EF-20 flash. And spare batteries + cleaning kit + cards and stuff in small side compartment.
  3. Thank you! And few more shots from 10-24:
  4. Thank you for an invitation! We were mostly in Berlin, and Hamburg, and made 2 days trip to Czech Republic (Prague). So, we are back form our short trip... short story - I got 10-24 at the end. I went to Saturn mall in Berlin to handle both lenses, and found that size/weght difference is not that dramatic, as some peple say. Yes, zoom has larger front element, but it's not 18-55 vs 16-55 difference. And I've found that 4mm at the wide end is a huge difference! Well, I have not used 10-24 a lot in Berlin, because it has plenty of space, so you can zoom out with your feet mostly, so I had 18-55 attached most of the time. Things have changed when we got to Prague and Hamburg. There I used 10-24 most of the time - with tall Prague cathedrals like St. Vitte's, 10mm was a saviour lens,and Hamburg has pretty tall and huge buildings, not always possible to shoot with 18-55. I also used a 55-200 in Berlin Zoo, and on the boat trip on Alster in Hamburg, and 35/1.4 when needed more low-light perfomance, but 60/2.4 really was used only once, wish I'd leave this lens at home at all. Few shots from the trip:
  5. Exactly my thoughts... I'm leaning towards 14mm, I think it's wide enough for my need, and also more compact.And also a little cheaper - so I could save for 56/1.2 also. Thank you all for replies!
  6. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen I'm going to travel to Europe (Germany and Czech Republic) soon, so I decided to upgrade my Fuji X-E1 to X-T1 (unfortunately, my Olympus EM1 went to repair service). Problem is - for Olympus I have at least 12-40/2.8, which is not very wide lens, but to have 24mm in terms of 35mm format is very handy to have, and for Fuji I have only 18-55/2.8 as widest lens, so I fear that it won't be wide enough for European architecture (last time I was in Prague with my Nikon D5000 and 18-105, 18mm wasn't wide enough for some shots of cathedrals). So, I'm torn between getting 14/2.8 and 10-24/4. While first is better optically, faster, lighter/smaller and has same filter thread as 18-55, the latter is wider. Yes, there's a downsides also - 10-24/4 is bigger and heavier, but a lot wider and has OIS. I'm looking more towards 14mm.. but would it be wide enough for tight European streets and tall cathedrals? Thank you!
