My much loved X-T2 has been sold to a dealer as I cannot rationalise having two bodies! And as the X-H1 has stolen my affections, I needed to move the X-T2 on.

I thought long and hard before selling to Park Cameras in the U.K. but it had to head off into the sunset! Thence onto a new owner who will have a nice pristine X-T2 to enjoy!

Mike G, I agree completely.  I love my new X-H1.  My T2 is now on permanent loan to a friend.  T3 will have to be something really special to make me buy it.  I can't imagine what they could add that would make me want it.

My thoughts exactly, Mike G and cale33. The X-H1 is everything I'd hoped it would be. I've been hanging on to my X-T2 thinking I might part-exchange it for the forthcoming 8-16mm f2.8 - but that seems to be a long time arriving (and will probably be a bit of a brick when it does!) 

 

But I will *definitely* be keeping my X-Pro2: I just love that camera. Perfect partner for the X-H1 as each has a slightly different things that it's best-suited for.

That also was my intention but noting that there seems to be a glut of X-T2s around I decided to cut and run before the glut turns into a torrent! Trusting that any new cameras may be announced at the same time as the 8-16mm f2.8! so that may not be the right time to sell or PX what will be yesterday’s model albeit a very good yesterday’s model!

Yes, I'm rather concerned about this, Mike G. The numbers on the dealers' websites don't seem to be going down much, either. I guess you're right about the 8 -16mm probably being launched at the same time as another new camera (like the X-T3!). I hadn't thought this through, but it would fit with past patterns. (Sigh...) - decision time!

    • 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.
