All, I've been trying to buy the XT-10 / 18-55 mm combo for a few weeks now. I've heard that from Clifton Cameras that this product is being discontinued and there are any stocks that i can find. Could you please let me know if we will have an XT-20 coming out soon? Also, i was recommended X-E2S instead of the XT-10. Could someoe please highlight the major differences? Thanks

Evening all. My names Jim from a little city called Lincoln, Lincolnshire in the UK. If you're reading this and from the UK, you've probably heard of where I am from recently due to the success of our football team. I'm not a football fan, but it's good the boys have done well. I've been into photography from a really young age, starting off from pinching my parents Kodak film camera (the long thin type you pulled apart and pushed together to wind the film on!) and having one of my photos I took of a windmill locally, published in the local paper when I was around 8 or 9 years old. It wasn't until about 13 years ago that I really started to take a real interest in the hobby. I saved up and bought a Fuji S9600 Bridge Camera. I loved this and it really helped develop my skills, but it begun to restrict me somewhat with regards to versatility (unable to change lens) and go fully manual to learn what things do. I then purchased a Pentax K10d DSLR and built up a small collection of lenses, which I used to death up until last year, when a colleague of mine began to show me his collection of various Fuji X cameras. I loved the design, how compact they were but most of all the image quality, notably the ISO perfomance, which I still can't believe today. I have been a happy owner of my XT-10 now for almost a year. I have the basic XF 18-55mm, which for a "kit" lens is unbeliebable quality, a XC 50-230mm which I use a lot for wildlife photography and motorsport's and a Samyang 8mm Fish eye. I would love a few more different lenses, particularly the 100-400mm lens, but with the cost it's completely pipe dreams for me. I may hire one, but I worry that it'll make me want one even more. Would also love another lens to help with wedding photography, something that will give a nice DOF. I have one wedding under my belt, but need more confidence! Anyway, that's my rather long winded hello. I'm off to explore the forum. regards, Jim.

Hi, I have a lot of experience with analogue/film but am pretty new to digital and just preordered an XT-10. I mostly like to shoot street and nature, often closeups, and like the closeness of 1:1 Macro. I need a light, small camera with most ease of learning curve/settings so the xt-10 seems a good choice. Yet, none of the lenses have1:1 macro and I'm wondering how well the 16 mm extension tube works with the kit 18-55 f.2.8 to 3.5 lens. From the charts, it gives somewhere between .5 and .75 magnification. If anyone has any experience with this on any (FX?) lens, I'd appreciate the feedback. Also, I'd wanted HDR and wonder how important this is? Lastly, I understand there is an accessory grip one can order. So what does it mean when people say there's an issue of no vertical grip? Thanks. I really appreciate this resource.
