The reviews suggest the LM WR version is a little better. Had it on my X-T5. Super combo.Is this the best 23mm lens?

These have a nice vibe - what filter/processing ?
No it’s old and clunky, the new WR is far betterIs this the best 23mm lens?

I can't be bothered to upgrade my 23R to WR, I might get the Vitrox 27/1.2 instead.
Do it! If you don't mind the weight, it's an absolutely ridiculous lens.
That will be the jpeg preview. You need to look at the camera profiles in the Develop module to see the standard simulations that can be applied.I never actually edited Fuji RAW before....it seems when I load it in to LR, at first I can see the recipe applied, but if I wait a few seconds, that disappears and the image goes flat...where can I find that filter applied again?

They are in the "profiles" but at the top of the basic tab where "Adobe Colour" defaults.
Great news! Look forward to seeing some great photos from you using itI can't, I just had a call from LCE to say my X100VI has just arrived!
i was curious about that too when I got my x-t20 but bought the Viltrox version instead as you can pick it up for £150-ish. In my experience, the Viltrox was very sharp but does have quite a bit of CA wide open… can be “fixed” in post usually
Sold it this week as I have the 18mm f2, 27mm f2.8 and 33mm f1.4 so the 23 just wasn’t getting used

It’s no slouch, it’s sharper at F2 than the original X100 lens and the XF23mm F2.
As @trevorbray says the newer WR F1.4 is probably slightly ahead but the revised X100 version (V/VI) is also excellent but not at F1.4!!!
IMO there are some good third party options but none of them are as good as the Fuji’s once you take everything into account (but they are cheaper).
I liked the original 23mmF1.4 on the X-T2, the balance was good and I felt I got decent results, but if it was a one camera solution I would personally go for the X100V over and X-T2/3+XF23mmF1.4 - but then you’ve already been there
I looked at the original 1.4 because it is a 1.4 and smaller than the newer WR. But yes, an X100 still seems to be where I keep coming back to.No it’s old and clunky, the new WR is far better
Nice - how long ago did you preorder with LCE and is it Black or Silver?I can't, I just had a call from LCE to say my X100VI has just arrived!
I've had the old version a few times, loved the final images but it does have issues, the new one is just about perfect imo. Like you i've had and sold the X100 a few times, 1 x F 3 x V, again i've had some great images from it but also had some major disappointment with the AF at times. If it performs like the X-T5 it should be a lovely piece of gear, however having that ability to swap out a lens no matter how infrequent should not be under estimated and the ergonomics of the X-T5 is lovely in comparison to the X-T4.I looked at the original 1.4 because it is a 1.4 and smaller than the newer WR.

I just can’t gel with an EVF unfortunately - love the OVF of the X100 seriesI've had the old version a few times, loved the final images but it does have issues, the new one is just about perfect imo.

I'm the opposite, your choices are limited then, bite the bullet and get a Leica M10, many of us on here are masters at spending other people's moneyI just can’t gel with an EVF unfortunately - love the OVF of the X100 series

So the wait time isn't that long, ebay spivs and other grifters will get stuck with them hopefully.
I also think it's easier to respond to demand in China and ramp up production, Japan not so much.Since I missed the first wave and waited until that weekend before ordering, I fully expected to wait for 3 months+.
So it’s either not as many going for black or Fuji being conservative with production time or bit of both.

You call that lucky ?I’ve always been lucky getting tech or things that I want without pre ordering or having to wait an age. Way back with the Wii to more recent PS5 in the first 6 months, Xbox Series X by just walking into John Lewis, even got Taylor Swift Tickets (x4).

What do you do and what do you know own to do it?Sadly, as much as I loved the cameras, my time with the Fuji system is at an end as the AF simply isn't reliable enough for what I do.
All the kit has gone to Wex but I have a couple of left over items:
1 x Fringer EF-FX Pro II mount adapter for Canon to Fuji
And three DuraPro W235 batteries with two dual mount USB chargers. Those would have to be collection only because of postage restrictions.
If anyone is interested, please tell me on here and I'll set up a sales post.
To abide by the rules, no PMs please.
Thanks
The lever you used to switch from evf to ovf......push it the other waySecond question…I can’t seem to get the little screen in the corner of the OVF to pop up…how do I do that? Or where in the settings do I turn that on?
Does that screen only come out in Manual focusing?
