This is probably very obvious, but I am a little confused! -  Presumably, when using the film simulation dial on the X-T50, the Custom Settings need to be set  at 'Nothing Serlected@' Is this correct?   Thank you

The Laowa 65mm macro seems well regarded, I'm sure it would serve you well.  Another potential choice would be the Fuji 30mm macro, but it would have a closer working distance and might make lighting your subjects harder.

It does look strange…,  but no, it is part of CSX’s (a railway company) maintenance equipment. 

military?  pretty cool.

Example: I am using a custom recipe, and I then use the film simulation dial to select a simulation. Are values from the custom recipe carried over, such as highlights, shadow, and white balance etc.? After studying the articles in Fuji X Weekly, this appears to be the case If you set a recipe on one of the C slots its settings will be applied to all the film simulations on the dial. The workaround is to use your 'standard' recipe at C1.   Please clarify this for me . I would have thought the film simulation dial would have no input from other camera settings.   Thank you - Very Confuded!
