I hope many of us can transition here. I do appreciate this site. And will endeavor to support any site the helps advance photographers!

Looks like a bad, gold tooth crown ready to be pulled. ;)

And they say, “A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into” ;) Actually, I wonder how old the place is? Great picture!

Well if you get nostalgic we can trade ;) Just kidding. Enjoy the X-T4!!!

I’ve pretty much only used the 50-140 with the 2.0X teleconverter on my XPro-3, and XH-1 (mostly on the XH-1). I’ve gotten some great deer and bird shots that I believe are pretty sharp. And the auto focus is fast. I imagine without the teleconverter it would be even better. I’ve even cropped...

If I get this lens I'll let you know how it physically handles. I currently own both the X-Pro3 and XH-1. I do sometimes mount a 50-140mm with 2X teleconverter on the XPro3. I basically hold the lens, and not the camera or hold it loose in my free hand). Talk about the placing the "cart before...

I'm interested in this lens, and I've searched out every pre-release review I could find. Most early reviewers of course note they are working with an early pre-release model. One thing I'm a bit worried about is that some of the posted pictures don't seem very sharp. Some pictures do. I suppose...

So what is the purpose of that rule? No big telephoto lenses. I will admit, at least before the virus, I toured museums that were quite crowded. Or is it a ban on taking high quality photos of art?

I have to admit that the XPro-3 and XT-4 combo is tempting. I guess it would be hard to justify keeping the XH-1 and owning an XT-4. I’d love to handle the XT-4, perhaps with a grip of some kind just to see if it felt as comfortable in the hand as my XH-1 with either the J.B. Camera Design wood...

I think there was a warning from Lensmate not to use the Pro-2's thumb rest on the XPro-3. Evidently the old version can damage the new Pro-3. I don't know for certain on the leather cases. It would seem to me that the Pro-3's articulation screen might not place nice with the old design. I'm...

As a former owner of an XPro-2, and a current owner of the XPro-3 I think the XPro-3 is different enough that you will enjoy both of them. I also own a. XH-1 that some are ready to push into the dustbin of history ;). But I think the XH-1 is unique enough that I’ll not be getting rid of that one...

Stunning. Sadly a sign of the times.

ReneBee. Sorry for my late reply. You are absolutely correct. I've been loving the XPro-3! During the Pandemic I've been shooting birds with a 50-140mm with 2X teleconverter (normally I'm doing the street photography thing). A bit unwieldy with the X-Pro 3. This has pushed me to order a used...
