Hi,

Has anyone ever travelled with an X100 series camera only?

 

I am going to be in India for 5 weeks and am seriously considering taking only my X100T. I really don't want to carry lots of camera gear but am also worried I'll regret not taking something with a wider or longer reach...

 

Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated!

I just got back from a three week trip to Australia and was happy with my X100S (converted to infrared) and my X100F. (I had my iPhone for a back-up but the Fuji's were flawless.)

 

But I have not used interchangeable lenses for about 3 years* now and am happy working within the X100 limits.  If I need a wider angle, I just shoot a panorama and crop what I want.  Telephoto shots; I just crop what I want.  Since I rarely do poster sized printing and most is just posted on Flickr and emails to my group, a small section of the original images serves for a great telephoto shot.

 

*My exception is my Pentax 110 film SLR.  My other film cameras are Fuji GSW 690III and a Fuji G617 fixed lens cameras.  I didn't want to bother with film (and weight of the big Fuji 120 Film Cameras) on my international trip so the X100 digitals were perfect.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
