Hi folks,

 

Just recently bought the X-T10 and so far, I'm loving it. I've been shooting Nikon's for years but wanted something smaller to use mainly with the family. I have been really impressed with the raw files and the sharpness of the 18-55mm "kit" lens. Trying to decide what lens to get next. Here is one taken at the farmers' market I manage.

Welcome on the forum.

 

I agree, the 18-55 will cover most bases for the time being, time will tell you want to buy.

 

Maybe you are a wideangle person, maybe you are a portrait person or maybe both. Just don’t go buying things before you really need them. On the other hand having previous experience to capitalize upon, you probably already know what you want.

 

There is plenty to read here and to ponder upon.

I also have the same combination. My second lens is being mailed to me, purchased used on B&H Photo, a 50-230 zoom with new Hoya HMC filter for $200. I own a lot of heavy photo equipment so my goal was to go simple and light. The camera that got me into Fujifilm is the X100S. I was astounded by the jpeg colors and sharp lens, reminiscent of the film era. I swore the X100S would be my last camera purchase, then the X-T10 came out including the 18-55 lens for $100 more than the body alone so I hope the range of 16-230 (with two lens combo) will last me long into the future and make packing and traveling much easier.

Congrats on the new purchase. I recently converted back to Fuji after years using Nikon. I was leaning towards the X-T10 but jumped at Amazon't black Friday deal on the X-T1 18-135mm combo. I'm still learning the system but here is one I took the other day while messing around.

I just got an X-T10 with 18-55 a couple weeks back. Sold off some Canon gear to get it. It's definitely putting the fun back in photography for me, and that 18-55 is one of the nicest "kit" lenses I've ever used. 

 

BTW, I dig your Farmer's Market shot.

    • Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii. 
    • Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

    • This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
