Didn't want to imply criticism, it's always useful to know the limits of a lens, but not to have unreasonable expectations ! Gerry

...and if 'native' by a built in lens profile, to hide the compromises inherent in the design....😏 Gerry

Yes, I don't often (never?) shoot landscape at 2.8.... Informal tests need to be realistic of typical use. No real surprise that a cheap wide angle has edge falloff at wide apertures both sharpness and illumination. Gerry

I have had email exchange with them about both lenses, they weren't very encouraging! Maybe I should try sending them files, but I think that is for when a lens is on the list but a particular version doesn't work. Gerry

Sadly still not my Tamron 17-50 2.8... Gerry

I quote the Fuji staff at the big uk photo exhibition 2 days ago, no news of any discontinuations of 26mpx cameras. Xpro 3, Xs10 and Xt4 openly displayed and demonstrated alongside newer stuff Just another misunderstanding or misinformation Gerry

Well Sony makes the sensors I think, and they dont have a 40mpx aps-c camera, or even a 26mpx last time I looked. But it makes sense to the producers, force everyone to buy the new higher priced sensor, whether they want/need it or not. Gerry

Well the big uk photo show is on next weekend, it will be interesting to see what is on display for the UK and European market. But they cant stop supplying all cameras that don't have the new XH2 sensors, take a while to market replacement models for Xe, Xpro, Xs and both Xt lines and they...

X-s10 already exists

Greens turning brown there as it is,a bit further east where we are

Not likely the gear after 2 to 5 mins, perhaps flaps etc? Take off seems to have very high climb rates initially to get the noise away from the housing around airports, then they throttle back and level out a bit. I do remember the noise levels, quiter now. Gerry

I had my 78th birthhday last week, and have been growing vegetables in my garden(s) for nearly 50 years, and even in England's moderate climate it is becoming more difficult each year, with dry spells folowed by torrential rain. I think discussion of climate change on a photo forum is likely to...

Echoes of the discussion on the Fuji forum, extremes are becomong more frequent, no rain or too much. Temperatures here for 2 days in the high 20s, now down to half that again . Gerry

Very nice pic, was the rain equally dramatic? Been grey and drizzle here much of the day, boring and unphotogenic 😒

Very dramatic!
