    Fuji Which Fuji X Body?

    I currently have a XT-1 so am looking for an upgrade to that. I might pick up one of the other bodies as a smaller second body, allthough I still have an XM-1.

    Fuji Which Fuji X Body?

    yeah, I'll be watching for that.. won't be able to wait for an XT-3..

    Fuji Which Fuji X Body?

    Oy... so now an XT-3 coming, to compete with the XH-1. Meanwhile, I want a new camera for a major trip in the fall of this year....

    Fuji So.. XT2 or XH1?...

    You may be right, if the latest rumors flesh out.. :D

    Fuji So.. XT2 or XH1?...

    That's also very true. But just beginning to think that the now X-H1 isn't the camera I want to wait for (really don't care about video, or the new video lenses).

    Fuji So.. XT2 or XH1?...

    That's fair, and the slightly larger size of the XT2 over the XT1, plus the better grip, was one of the reasons I was looking at the upgrade. (On the other hand, I'm still slowly selling off my Nikon gear, as the huge DSLRs attract too much attention these days, so smaller is better in that...

    Fuji So.. XT2 or XH1?...

    So yeah, I know it's still way way early, but with what the recent rumors are saying about the X-H1 I have to wonder what my next body should be? I had been set on waiting on a X-T2s for my next body (currently an X-T1), but now with the new rumored features, and size increase, and with the...

    Fuji So.. X-T2...

    dangit, now I'm hungry... side related here.. I had the chance recently to play a bit with a coworker's rangefinder.. and I'm more certain that ever that I'd really have to break a lot of habits to change to one. So I'm hoping the that XT-2 is not gimped in any way..

    Fuji So.. X-T2...

    I'd want touchscreen for faster navigation, not for selecting focus points. But the tilt screen needs to stay.. for low shots and for overheads, it really helps.. can't see taping it down. I've used it a fair amount for getting shots at gardens and at events where I need to get over some...

    Fuji So.. X-T2...

    Well, for the T-2, I want the sensor, the joystick, and the dual SD slots. I DON'T want the newer ISO dial.. I like the top layout just the way it is.. :D

    Fuji Ultra-fast or ultra small?

    My dream lens would be a short fast telephoto with a really close focusing distance. Rule of thumb is being able to shoot stuff in front of me at a late-night diner.. :D
  12. K

    Fuji Ultra-fast or ultra small?

    I'd want both.. :D Allthough, I'd probably buy the pancake first. I wonder though with the rumoured 33, depending on how we find the XPro-2 (and hopefully coming XT-2) perform, is there really a huge need for glass that fast (and large)? Suppose the smaller DoF might be useful, but that's...

    Fuji So.. X-T2...

    So I assume we'll see the X-T2 shipping probably very late this year, maybe in time for Christmas shopping.. so in the meantime.. 1) I assume we'll see most if not all of the X-Pro2 improvements in the X-T2. Anything that might not make the cut? Personally I do want the 24MP, the focus spot...

    Fuji 35mm 1.2 WR?

    Ebay may be the only hope..
  19. K

    Fuji 35mm 1.2 WR?

    And the focusing distance complicates that as well for me. I'll be using the 10-24 a lot, but there will be times I want something brighter.

    Of course now, it appears Oly is trying to copy the X-Pro.. :D

    Fuji 35mm 1.2 WR?

    This gets me thinking about what I really need.. from the X-T1 perspective.. and it really does fall to that one fast wide-ish lens for night work, and a really light pocket kit. A 35 1.2 would be nice.. but it would be huge..

    Fuji My thoughts switching from primes to the 16-55 2.8

    Yeah, I'm still downsizing from a D800 and 3 2.8 zooms... (and before that a D3s added in, and going back to F4s way back in time). So my X-T1 kit now is probably as big as I want to go once I add that last WA glass, and I'll still be well under the weight. Right now I carry whatever lens...

    Fuji Fuji X70 to Be Announced

    True, but at the rumored price-point, I'd be better off getting a pancake 27 the next time it's on sale and putting that on my X-M1.. :D

    Fuji Fuji X70 to Be Announced

    Well, a few of my thoughts will make you cringe... :D That tilty screen? I love them for high angle and low angle shooting. Rather than laying down on the ground, the camera can, and I can still get shots. But.. even worse, that screen appears to flip up front facing.... it's a selfie...

    Fuji Should I Bother Buying an X-Pro 1 on Close-Out?

    As much as the discounts tempt me, I've never used rangefinder style cameras enough to get used to them. I grew up on Nikon FM2, FA, F100, so the X-T1 is like coming home. Rangefinders on the other hand, seem like I'm driving on the wrong side of the street. :D So the question for anyone...

    Fuji Just one more lens.. (Help me with gear lust syndrome..)

    Yeah, the length of a 135 equiv is an interesting choice.. it can work well to isolate subjects, provided you have the working distance you need. I've never had a 135 in my bag, it's always been an 85 and either a 180 or 70-200ish zoom. But there was one interesting note about the 135...

    Fuji Just one more lens.. (Help me with gear lust syndrome..)

    Nice shots! My concern with the 35/2 at this point is that focusing distance. that extra 3 inches could be the make or break, where with the 10-24 the background just isn't out enough for close work. I need to get out in the field with the 10-24, but for that final lens pickup.. it...

    Fuji Just one more lens.. (Help me with gear lust syndrome..)

    So some more musings here... been playing with my new 10-24, and while I like the range, the f4 is certainly limiting if I'm going in real close, can't knock that background out. So here's a question for those with the 35/2.. can someone do some 1-foot working distance shots, and show how...

    Fuji So the fuss over the XPro2 and more megapixels

    When the XT-2 is announced, I'll probably pick up on of those, keep my X-T1, but I'll probably also hang onto my XM-1, but it will get put in my truck and reside there permanently, for those "I wish I had my camera" times..

    Fuji So the fuss over the XPro2 and more megapixels

    That's a fair point.. :D but there are diminishing returns in sensor size, especially at specific breakpoints, depending on the design of the glass. My post was more aimed about the pixel peepers that value MP beyond anything else, but part of it is bemoaning the devaluation of cameras in...

    So there's a big sale on DXO software for a few more days, and I'm wondering if there are any happy users of it here? Or is it mostly a pile of added filters that never get used? Online store

    Fuji So the fuss over the XPro2 and more megapixels

    Well, that's the thing... there's several folks (at least) over there who are beyond adamant that Fuji has to adapt at least a 28MP sensor... as if that's the only measure of a camera.

    Fuji Anyone else do HDR

    I propose this... Good HDR captures what the eye would see but a sensor/film cannot capture. Once it goes much beyond what the eye would see, then it's usually, but not always, overdone. Like any good Photoshop or darkroom work, it shouldn't scream that it is there.

    Fuji So the fuss over the XPro2 and more megapixels

    So looking at the thread over on the main rumors site, one would get the impression that all our 16MP sensors will stop working in January and Fuji is utterly doomed if they don't use a 28MP sensor... Honestly, I can't understand why pixel peepers of that sort are even using a 4/3 camera. If...

    Fuji Just one more lens.. (Help me with gear lust syndrome..)
