No, good idea though - and I assume the outter switch just pries off?

Looks like I'll have to send it in for service. I was working a bike race, shooting mostly video, and switched between MF and AF via the usual front switch. Switching it into AF again, it kept showing the peaking highlights of manual focus. Sure enough, it wasn't responsive. Only way I can get...

We've got plenty more smoke if you want it. :)

I missed this. Interesting. Still love my old 56, never did get along with the 23 1.4 when I had it, have found the f2 travel version to be a killer do-it-all lens.

Went to Lost Lake for a good friend's 50th. XT1 and XE3, 23 f2 / Rokinon 12 / XC50-230... Birthday boy paddled us out in a tandem kayak (my rigt arm is still in a cast), and we got treated to quite a scene... osprey snatched a fish out, then got chased down by a bald eagle, followed by a...

For our 17th anniversary, we hiked up to an alpine meadow not too far from home with our daughter, and camped one night in the shadow of Mt Hood, our local 11,250 foot stratovolcano. There was snow on a lot of the trail in the woods, but the meadow itself was bare, albeit VERY damp and soggy...

Not bad right now. Highs were in the mid 70s up there, lows at night probably mid 40s. So... perfect.

Grab-n-go kinda trip, just grabbed the bag that already had the XE3, 23 f2, and 35 f1.4 in it. Out the door, trying in vain to get some local campsites, already full. Eventually wound up climbing towards a tiny alpine lake, but got stopped when the old 4runner got stuck in snow. Took 45 mins to...

^ That's a SOOC pano from the X100. Always thought it did a great job with those. And I wanted to upload a shot from the XT1 + 56, but it will NOT upload in the correct orientation... it's portrait, and now matter what I do to it prior to upload, it will only load sideways. Kinda hilarious...

On the OG X100: Yes, the glass gets soft at f2 and close distances. Not "bad" soft, just not as sharp as we've all been spoiled to expect from Fuji. For peoples' faces, it's actually a feature, not a bug... a little bit of softness helps. Cameras, including this thing's grandchildren, have...

Yep.

The way down that long, steep path was --amazing--. A solid 30 minutes of flying, no work. We were racing each other, flying neck and neck. The girl has gotten quick!

We went cross country skiing for 3 days up in the montains of Washington, in a ski-to only hut system. They haul your bags via snowmobile, and you ski uphill for about 5 miles (gaining 1,400 ft elevation in the process) to your reserved hut. It was magical. Huts have 3 solar lights, propane...

I borrowed an XE2 as a second camera for our trip to Africa in 2015. I loved everything about it, with one red-hot exception: The view mode for shooting is tied to the view mode for playback (photo viewing). You could not shoot "EVF + Motion Sensor" and then view pics on the rear LCD, you had to...

Here I am in 2021, still rockin' the old X-T1. It's been refurbished twice, but it's still going. Valentine's date night: we cross country ski'd from the house down to the waterfront to a nice restaurant in a hotel that just was allowed to reopen for limited indoor seating. After a split meal...

Yeah. I don't think I'll ever shoot a different way, now. Went through phases... partially auto, then mostly manual but still auto WB, now all of it is manual. I sometimes wonder if the manual WB is why all my newer stuff drifts towards having just a TOUCH too much purple / magenta. I look at...

I hope it isn't a pointless boost in megapixels. I don't want bigger files, man. Give me ISO 6400 that looks like ISO400, and keep it at 26 MP... somehow.

Just here to restate my love of MkI, also curious to see MkII

Love my current 27, wish it had an aperture ring, and if it broke I'd replace it. SO useful already...

https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/27/21271565/fujifilm-x-webcam-app-mirrorless-camera SO CLOSE. I would love to use one of my 2 X cams as a web cam for the million web meetings I have, but they didn't include either the old XT1 or the XE3 in the list of supported models! I'm frustrated. I'm...

Resistance is EASY when it costs that much $.

I would LOVE that 100-400, but it's way out of my reach financially.

I somehow didn't see the XF10 come out. I thought that was the old small-sensor compact's model number, but you guys all kept comparing it to a GRiii, which raised my eyebrows almost into my hairline. Finally googled it.

I got a hell of a lot of good work done with the original X100. It was the only camera I had for several years, and I made the most of it. I loved the simplicity, loved how short the path was from "itch" to "trigger"... as in "itch to maybe go take a picture of that thing/person over there" to...

I vote for them updating the 18 f2. edit: As in, I want them to update it, AND I think it's the first-most likely thing to release.

^ that, and the softness wide open, have been with the X100 line the whole time, I guess.

Coooool.

TOTALLY agree on the 23’s. I could never quite get happy with that lens. Too big, too soft wide open. Trading that one stop for some $ back in my pocket, half the size and weight, and weather sealing is a no-brainer for me. I haven’t used the other ‘crons. But the rendering on the 35 1.4 and...

Oh man, fully disagree. I shoot all manual, so knowing the shutter and aperture both go in 1/3 stops means I can trade off one for the other (-3 on one, +3 on the other) without looking at the/through the camera, and wind up at the same exposure. I can't imagine not having 1/3 clicks on the...

Ohhhhh that's not gonna happen. I'm a "new camera every 4 or 5 years" sorta guy, and the XE3 just arrived at my house in 2019.

Not that it matters, or that anyone cares, but I'd probably love this camera. I only use the LCD for pic reviews and low/high level shooting

Super-clean

I have the F-Pro. I didn't realize there were so many... wow.

https://petapixel.com/2019/09/20/fujifilm-reveals-x-pro3-with-titanium-body-hidden-lcd-and-new-film-simulation/ It's not out yet so plenty of specs remain to be seen, but... - "Hidden" LCD - Partly titanium construction ...seem to be the big surprises so far. I am finding myself to be a...

This is either SOOC, or damned close to it - I don't use PS etc. The shot I always think of when I think of 27+circ polarizer. KBRX9046 by gordopuggy, on Flickr

For urban shooting, the magic (for me) with anything at 12mm is that you have an honest 90 degree view, meaning you can back into a corner and just barely get both walls.

STRONG recommendation: If you have the 27 pancake, find the B+W brand circular polarizer for it. In bright light, it transforms that lens. I only take it off when it's too dark to lose the few stops.

That's gorgeous. Love the transition of colors.

"Yep" to all of that.

^ That's the bundle I bought mine with. 23 f2, and it came with a fliter kit including a circ polarizer, which is niiiice. As for handling with the 56 on it, I think it is a little front-heavy, but I also think I'm just not prone to be annoyed by that on cameras too much. That is, as many...

It is FAST. Love the speed of it, and the small size - but that's also helped by my own tiny hands.

Didn't even want to spend time editing these, so they're all SOOC. X-E3 and the 35 1.4. KBRY2930 by gordopuggy, on Flickr

Another tuesday, another really good band I'd never heard of. The Quick & Easy Boys... killer 3 piece with the 2 front guys wearing matching cutoff jorts of all things... KBRY2900 by gordopuggy, on Flickr

Thanks Luke!

Another Tuesday, another good free concert. Another band I'd never heard of, who blew my doors off. Tango Alpha Tango, from Portland, been around 11 years or so, guitarist is just incredibly good. More than "good," he has incredibly good taste, and a great touch. Plays without a pick, big loud...

Mills has been touring with a big orchestral setup this year, I think. And I think he's enlisted John Neff and Will Tonks into that band, who are both insanely good musicians I knew back in college, because I keep seeing pics from the shows in their facebook feeds.

Same venue as last time. Yesterday a band came through that’s fronted by a guy I’ve known about and liked since I was in high school, Scott McCaughey. We loved his band The Young Fresh Fellows, even covered one of their songs a lot. In this iteration, the band is called The Minus Five, and it...

Thanks all. Band was called Down North.

I suspected they might be fun to photograph based on their description, so I tossed the XT1, 56, and rokinon 12 into the little Domke bag and went. Sure enough, they blew that place apart. Incredibly engaging, polished without being boring, just wild. I connected with them at the set break and...

(27) The Magical Shrinking Ray, as I call it.
