Thinking if I should get the 16 1.4 instead of waiting for new 18 f/2. This is not even on fujis lens roadmap, so who knows. It could be late 2018 for all we know.

 

But the 16 looks big and is a lot of $. But that 1.4 aperture and macro capabilities is really tempting.

The 16mm is great - but it is big, and it is expensive. The current 18mm is small, and cheap. This is a picture of my eldest daughter, taken with the 16mm2a6cb5b4ba3af4f286aa654e6b3d7898.jpg

Warwick, I heard from an well informed source that the size of XF18 MK II will be almost the same size as XF16mm is. Probably also more expensive as the original XF18.

lol, what source. I'm sure FUJIRUMORS.com has more sources and I haven't heard anything about the 18 being same size as the 16.

lol, Fujirumors is not a source, lol !

 

Dear Hermelin, what do you think about yourself?

Fujrumors is a source for rumors from credible sources which has been proven being correct 9/10 times.

 

You're just a member in a forum like me. But if you have a reliable source I would like to know what kind of source. I just find it hard to believe that you know anything before FUJIRUMORS does

 

I don't know, I don't have any source. But it would make no sense if the 18 f/2 MK II would be as a big as the 16 f/1.4.

One of the selling point of the 18 is the size.

Well, I read all the posts on this topic, and it's not clear to me if there will be a version II of the 18 f2 or not.

 

But, I bought an X-Pro 2 Graphite kit with the 23mm f2 lens from B&H since so much of the Fuji product is on sale.  (It arrived on Saturday.)

So today I found a Mint- used 18mm for sale at an online camera dealer I've ordered from in the past, for quite a reduced price over a new one.  I always liked shooting with a 27mm on my 35mm cameras.

 

I'm new to the Fujifilm universe, but I've been reading thru the camera manual, getting used to the menu settings, and updated the firmware to 4.01.  I think it's really great that Fuji updates their firmware as often as they do.  Can't say I've had any other brand of camera that did that.

 

So I think I'll really enjoy shooting with the 23mm and 18mm on the X-Pro 2.

 

Steve

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
