So I have been round and round with all the silk, leather, cloth, peak design, etc...straps but since I have never used a Fuji camera and my X-T2 with grip isn't here yet...give a newbie some love...what should I consider for my camera with the biggest lens going on it being the Fuji 16-55mm.

 

With my Canon cameras I always used either a black rapid or Peak Design strap.

 

If you have some advice for a bag with the X-T2 with grip attached and no more than two lens, that would be great as well.

 

Thanks for the help

I have both the regular Peak Design Slide and Slite Lite. Both work fine, I prefer the Lite version though. I had a Blackrapid too for my Canon gear, but it's too big for my taste on the Fuji.

 

Peak Design has a Kickstarter going on for new bags, if you like their stuff.

 

What do you need in a bag? There's the ultra-fancy Billinghams and Ona's or the utilitarion Peak Design or Think Tank stuff... So many choices...

I put the X-T1 and grip in it with a lens attached and an extra lens. No big zooms though. I have taken out most of the padding though, the small body doesn't need that much padding.

 

That's what I needed to hear was people who have these types of bags and carry the X-T1 or T2  with the grip attached.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
