    Fuji The itch for Fujifilm, to switch or not.

    My dabble with Fuji is now on the wane, my X-T4 is now back in for the same problem for the third time. Error "Turn off the camera and turn on again" been out of action since last September. They cant find out what is wrong with it. Tried suggesting they replace it, but no luck so far. Oh...

    Fuji The itch for Fujifilm, to switch or not.

    Just received this email from Smallrig for the X-T5 Worth getting the X-T5 just for this, check out the whole page to see the half grip as well. These should sell a lot for Fuji regardless of how god the camera works. Wonder if I can trade my X-T4...

    Fuji The itch for Fujifilm, to switch or not.

    About 8 months ago I purchased an X-T4. I love the retro dials etc but will admit now that I have tried it the traditional PASM controlled camera is far better if you are interested in wildlife as it is quicker to use. A lot of their lenses are soft on the edges compared to Mu-43 lenses and the...

    Fuji Tamron 18-300 for Fuji

    When I first purchased my Tamron 18-300 I could not update it's firmware, kept getting the error message mentioned at the end of the instruction page on the Tamron site. This ended up being a issue with my X-T4 that has an intermittent problem. I have since been able to update the Tamron...

    Fuji Question Re Updating Tamron Lens on Fuji body

    Just wondering if anyone has been able to update a Tamron lens on a Fuji body. Just tried to update my Tamron 18-300 on my X-T4 today. X-T4 updated to v 1.5 OK but Tamron would not update at all. Returned the error message on the Tamron firmware page Firmware Upgrade Has Been Cancelled, Turn...

    Fuji New Fuijfilm gear ...

    The 150-600 is a bit slow for anything in the shade but is resonably sized and not too heavy, just. So maybe ok for a casual user like the canon f11 lenses Be interesting to see what the working distance of the 30mm macro is and if it goes larger than 1:1 Camera looks interesting but I take...

    Fuji Maybe Fujifilm?

    I recently purchased an X-T4 with the Tamron 18-300. If you do try a Fuji get a Fuji lens that gives dual IS. After using Mu-43 gear the stabilisation on the combo I purchased is no good compared with the Mu-43 gear. I have to think about good technique again, what a pain :cry: First world...

    Fuji Dear Fujifilm, I would like to have in the next kaizen firmware upgrade...

    Sounds like a good idea, but I thought Fuji has given up on "kaizen firmware upgrades" just doing fixes and compatability updates now. Having said that I would love to be wrong and my X-T4 gets some nice new features. Olympus also seems to be no longer adding extra features. The EM1x and...

    Fuji Tamron 18-300 for Fuji

    Did a bit more testing of the X-T4 with the Tamron 18-300 stabilization again today. I think I may have been expecting too much. Reviews by some youtubers indicated that the X-T4 stabilization was getting close to Olympus and Panasonic Mu-43. I was partly basing my results on those claims as I...

    Fuji Tamron 18-300 for Fuji

    I ended up getting one of these for my X-T4 and have mixed thoughts. I think for the zoom range the IQ is OK. It is a bit softer at 300mm but not sure if that is because of the stabilization not working. I have IS mode set to "Shooting Only" Originally set to "continuous" Shooting Menu page 2/2...

    Advice Wanted Fuji X-T4 Focusing Question

    Solved Finally found out what is going on, very simple when you know. It was a focus check issue. Little did I know the front button on the grip side was assigned to focus check. When I first saw the double box, I did look into the focus check, as I was using that as I have the camera set to...

    Advice Wanted Fuji X-T4 Focusing Question

    When using my new X-T4, I keep on getting the focus screen below where the focus points gets inserted inside another box. I press the joystick and it goes back to a single point. But when I point the camera around it often going back to that mode and will not focus on anything till I press in...
