Fuji X Series

ethan · 10 Mar 2016 at 14:15

I'm thinking about a XT2 depending on quality and features. Currently using an XT10 with 35mm 1.4, 18-55 f2. 8, 60mm f2. 4 macro and the standard kit zoom 50mm-230mm. Really surprised by the quality of the kit zoom.

Wonder if anybody knows if the TC would work on the 50-230mm?

lucky sods with your xPro2's. I really want one but the missus has tightened the purse strings

No it dosen't, it only works with the 50-140 and 100-400. It'll also work with the 120mm due later this year.

Just got the 35mm f2 at the moment, but going to order the Samyang 12mm and Fuji 100-400 ready for Safari end of June.

Off to Brugge easter bank holiday weekend and only taking the 35mm f2

Anyone watch angry photographer? He's currently doing videos on his xpro2 and lenses.

I'm still pondering a replacement for my x100 to give me a bit more flexibility but I love the thing so much it'd be hard to give it up

(that and my wife would kill me for spending money on cameras again

)

The Samyang 12mm would be a good lens for Bruges. Never had my UWA lens off last time I was there.

Wife loves the X-Pro2 so much that we have a second one arriving tomorrow, will probably keep the X-E2 as a backup but the X-T10 will be moving on. Still waiting on the 100-400mm as stock is very short at the moment.

Why did you have to post this lol

I can't afford to buy both the Samyang and 100-400 out of the same pay packet, was thinking of ordering the 100-400 tomorrow next day, as I am off to Norfolk at the weekend to see the Seals. :confused:

Would you be interested in selling your x100 at some point in the sale section?

I've been following him. Though I didn't know he had received it yet? Last time I looked he was in preparation ? I did however watch his take on what to expect from the Fuji XT2 though.

A few oldies from last year before I stupidly sold my X-E1 and 23mm

I'm quite liking the 100-400. This is wide open with the 1.4x TC handheld, slight crop:

Nice shot, the bokeh is a touch distracting on the left, I noticed that on my 50-140mm as well. In some situations (not in your shot) it can give a very unpleasant almost swirly effect.

It's not always there but when it is, it is very obvious, this isn't my shot but gives an idea of the problem - https://www.simonrevill.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/01-19046-post/SPR21698.jpg

Nice shot! It does look like an awesome lens.. I've not pressed the order button yet, going to go for the 12mm tomorrow and hopefully get this bad boy next month

The 23mm f/1.4 looks like a cracking lens. Need to decide between the 23mm or the 10-24mm for the trip to the US.

Zaf · 23 Mar 2016 at 01:35

Had chance to play around with long exposure today but was rushed for time, wish I had spent more time on the composition and focusing.

The dull sky didn't help either

I did set out to do in B&W but had a little play in PS too

Brought the X-E1 wth 12mm f2 Samyang and X-E2 with 23/35mm f1.4 attached to Hong Kong and just realised this evening that the X-E1 has 350 photos and the X-E2 has.... Four. Obviously Hong Kong is a wide angle city, but the Samyang is just a fantastic lens, full stop.

Rojin · 23 Mar 2016 at 18:10

I was looking for a Samyang 12mm but kinda got sidetracked by a cheap 8mm! Fun lens, but still looking for a 12mm
