Fuji X Series

What do you guys mean by worm issues?

I've always just plugged in the SD card and imported the RAW files from my X-T20 straight into LR without any problems.

Fuji RAW files already come into Lightroom sharper than other RAW files due to the way the sensor functions. Lightroom applies its default sharpening assuming a softer image. This default sharpening on top of a sharper RAW from a Fuji camera causes “worm” artefacts.

Capture one does not apply such sharpening by default which many will assume that Lightroom is rubbish. Worming in Capture is quite easy.

So you need to make sure that you set the detail slider to 0, radius to 0.5 and then sharpening slide between 75-110.

Hovering over the 35mm F/1.4 and the 23mm F/1.4 but not sure if i want two lenses so close in focal length, purely for landscape and street photography.

23 for landscape and 35 for street?

I have both (and the 12mm Samyang) I find them totally different in use and output, even beyond the focal length. The 23mm is a great all rounder and the one I tend to take if I can't decide :)

You’ll eventually be looking at the 16 1.4 which is too close to 23. 16, 35 and 56 for the primes is what I’d aim for.

I've had the 23mm F/2 for a few years and it has been all over the world with me. When I was in San Francisco for a week I didn't even look at my other lenses. It just does everything so well, wide enough for landscape work, lovely bokeh for portrait and street photography etc, WR and ultra quick focusing for skiing etc. I am actually looking at the 35 F/1.4 myself but given my style I'm not sure it would really get that much camera time to be honest. Few of my mates are getting married in the summer so tempted to get it for the indoors/low light and I'm sure it will excel in those conditions even vs the 23 F/2.
 
Does anyone on here have the 16-80 lens? Loads of reviews about it being soft in the corners, but I think for me the 6 stops of OIS and I’ll mainly be using it at f5.6 will balance out.

Plus I really wanted a WR & OIS version.
 
X-T3 battery is rather short lived when using the camera for a few hours, looking at getting 2-3 more that i can keep on charge.

I see the Fuji battery is £50 but the Duracell one is £20, anyone use the Duracell one and can verify if it's worth it over the official Fuji one?

The Duracell batteries are rubbish in my experience. I bought a set of two Baxxtar batteries with a charger and they've been as good as the OEM batteries from new for me.
 
Had a play with an X-T4 in my local London Camera Exchange.

Very impressed with it, though a Canon EOS R almost had me swayed, that thing is super comfortable to hold. The size of the lenses was the draw back for me though.

So took the plunge and ordered the X-T4 with the 16-80mm lens :)

Thanks :) I always thought when spending ~£2k on a camera it would be a full frame, so I hope I don't regret it.

Any opinions on the XC35 F2 as a light weight walk about lens? From what I've read, optically it's the same as the more expensive XF variant, only without weather sealing and a plastic body.

Also tempted to pick up one of these for playing about with over xmas. It generally reviews well as a decent budget option for macro :)

From what i have been reading, the XF35 F2 is the one to go for, it's worth the extra for the weather resistance and the metal body.

You can buy it here for £269 if you don't mind buying grey import.
