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!

The story goes, even here in UK, that if there isn't a pool of oil under your british motorbike, its because its all drained out already....

Been there a few times, lovely place, very nice pic.

I'd not heard of that 'day', but very nice pics to celebrate it!

I used a 'standard' macro a lot when doing copy slides and negs, in my case a 55mm Micro Nikkor, but since that all gets done on a scanner I prefer and find more useful a longer focal length for 3 dimensional macro work, still the 55mm but on aps-c, or even the 100mm Micro Nikkor, so not too...

5 1/4 inch floppy disks, early 80s, I remember them well, might have a few somewhere! Replaced 8 inch ones, and were in turn replaced by the 3 1/2 inch, which aren't really floppy any more. Still have a USB drive for the last ones. Edit, I see others beat me to it! My wife was an early...

Went out past there a couple of days ago, but it had to be on the other ferry as they had broken the Isle of Mull, causing chaos too the service for a day,

....but on the other side to Angus, a view FROM a castle (Dunollie) of the approaches to Oban harbour. Xpro-2, 50mm f/2

I've never seen the effect of the low sun extend up so far into the sky. Where we go on the west coast of Wales we get wonderful sunsets, the flat we use is about 200m from the west facing sea front, so its easy to nip down if it looks promising, although energy reserves are becoming a problem...

That is a wonderful shot Irene, do you get many like that? Never seen anything like it up north! Gerry

A really good set @pdk42 , brightened my morning, thank you! The uk landscape might not be as dramatic as some, but our (in)famous weather does give great opportunities for pictures with impact, as you have done here. I started digital with a Panasonic G1, and have some great landscapes with it...

Google brings up Blue Gemini, which I hadn't remembered! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Gemini Gerry

My first flight ever was in a Dragon Rapide, in service, not preserved. A short 'joy ride' from an air show at Yeadon uk, 7/6 in old money. I have a photo or two buried somewhere, taken on a Brownie Cresta. 1958. Gerry

Shows the camouflage well! Gerry

Is that from Pico do Arieiro? We've been to Madeira a few times, lovely place. Gerry

A place we often go is Dolgoch Falls, a tributary of the River Fathew tumbles down through a north facing defile, very shady and damp, full of sessile oak, mosses and fearns. Fuji Xpro-2, 23mm f/2

Eureka!

Yes, trying to get a Dropbox link to work! Still trying,

...of Wales. We visit here frequently, an easy drive from our home in the middle of England. Wonderful scenery, amongst other attractions, such as narrow gauge railways! This shot is of the mainline railway bridge across the Afon Mawdach estuary, a train on the single line, the tide is out, and...

Yes, but just about every other heading, brand specific or Film etc has a gallery too, and within a brand gallery such as Nikon each lens has a thread. Thats a lot of clicking to ser if any lmages are of interest. I can easily see equipment threads on Whats New, and open if of interest...

Thankyou for the detailed response. I appreciate that people like different ways of doing things. It took me a while to sort out how I view any forum. I have been using 'watched threads' to follow ones I find interesting, but I still have to find them first! And I have a nagging suspicion...

I thought I had tried that and nothing happened, but now I look at my watched threads list, nothing in it, so I didn’t do it right, finger trouble! trying again now! Thanks, Gerry

Seems a bit presumptious for a newbie to suggest changes I know, my enquiry was to find out how the New Media choice worked, thanks to @John King for explaining it, although Instill see nothing in it. If it really isn't used at the moment, rather than discarding it could those headings be...

Thankyou, no doubt I shall learn my way around.

Thanks John, I am familiar with the software on FujiX forum. That has a Home page that displays all new photos in chrononlogical order, and Whats New, new Media also displays thumb nails of new photos posted, in chronological order, very convenient and easy to see all creative content.

Thanks, so only new items in threads I have participated in, or are 'watching' will appear in Whats New, New Media? There is no display of newly posted images from all threads, in chronological order? That makes in quite hard to see the work everyone is posting, would require going through...

Well yes, but that means opening each and every thread to see if new photos have appeared. How is the New Media supposed to work, at the moment it just says I have no unviewed media when it is obvious that there ARE items I haven't seen.

Can anyone help a newbie pleaae? If I go to What's New, and select New Media, it always tells me I have no unviewed media, nothing shows up although looking at the individual forums obviously there have been new items. How can I see what photos have been posted on the whole of cameraderie since...
