Hi all. I'm new to mirrorless cameras and have just bought the XT30 which I'm really liking. Only using the 18-55mm at the moment but it's such a great lens I don't mind using it for sometime before I upgrade. I mainly shoot landscapes and need some ND filters and polarizers to shoot waterfalls and sunsets and would love some recommendations on some budget ones, maybe a 3 and a 10 stop to start with? Any suggestions?

Thanks David. Are you able to share the brand/model you bought? 

i use pretty cheap generic variable nd and polarizer (amazon basics cpl and ozure nd currently )  , it give's basic result's . but if you are serious about result's then check the comparison video from gerald undone 

 

there's also 2 in1 filter , which is variable nd and polarizer filter together (like this one shown by kai.w ) 

 2 in 1 filter's are available from other brand's too like k&f ,polar pro etc.. but i haven't used myself ..yet ! . i hope this helps . have a nice day !

Sorry for the delay, just saw this message. I use B+W (XS-Pro MRC Nano for the ND and the Kaeseman CPL). I can’t say they are better than other brands, just that they are the ones I use. I have been satisfied with them.

      X-T5 blurry corner-to-corner pictures?

      By BobJ · Posted

      I repeat - there is something wrong. I have the same lens and an x-t5 and do not experience any sharpness problems. It may be that there are problems with a 150-600 lens, I don't  know, but mjoseph67 is using the 16-55. Make sure the af is set to focus priority and that you do not have af with mf set (if you have you could be accidentally moving the focus ring after autofocus). If that doesn't help get your camera and lens checked out.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By pw-pix · Posted

      Perhaps matrix/evaluative metering mode would be a better choice in more circumstances. We need to be aware of how the camera will see the scene and choices it might make, I find having the viewfinder set to "exposure preview" or whatever it's called is helpful in knowing when to apply exposure compensation.

      x100F - shimmer in EVF & LCD after shutter release

      By garyfallon · Posted

      This is what I found on a firmware update that seems to address the problem. However, firmware version is at Ver. 211 already. As stated above this occurrence only happens using the EVF and at apertures between f2.0 and 3.6. It does not happen using the OVF or LCD. The firmware update Ver.2.11 from Ver.2.10 incorporates the following issue: The phenomenon is fixed that when pressing the shutter button halfway under certain conditions, the live view can flicker.

      By Tvir · Posted

      Hi! Thanks for this comment! Yes, although I'm utterly happy with my X-T50, small, light, sharp pictures, Xapp functioning, I've got to know that the camera tends to emphasize contrast in contrasty scenes. In a way this is strange to me, as X-T50 mostly exposes very well. This is especially expected with photos with foliage. Of course, I would like that the behaviour would be different. When I'm taking travel and such pictures I choose for JPG format (not HEIC, as Mac's Photos opens them oddly very slowly; iPhone's HEICs open fast ...). With JPG I've chosen to use the DR400 setting, but the problem is still there. For "more important" photos I of course use the RAW format. Regards, T.

      Fuji Warranty clarification.

      By lilyelliott40 · Posted

      Congrats on your Fuji! Since the receipt is in your relative’s name, they’re technically the original owner for warranty purposes. Some manufacturers, including Fuji UK, may allow a warranty transfer if you contact them and explain it was a gift. You could either ask your relative to make any initial claim, or reach out to Fuji to register it under your name as the recipient of a custom gift. Since it hasn’t been registered yet, it’s a good time to check with them.
