How long before we see you back in the Sony thread?Just cursed mate…you know me well enough..
How long before we see you back in the Sony thread?Just cursed mate…you know me well enough..
Hey Guys,
Thinking of taking another crack at Fuji with the XT5, had the 1, 2, & 3 previously. Is it far Superior to the XT4 ?
Currently using my Sony a7iv for Street Photography but a little on the big side, so was looking at trading my a9 for either the XT4 or XT5 and picking up the 23mm as the perfect street package.
Would be great to hear real world experiences for people who use on a regular basis rather than the utube stuff.
TIA
Steve ,how are you finding the 33mm ,on my list.?The T5 has the 40MP sensor, big difference to the 24MP version in the 2,3, & 4. The 4 had a twisty screen (I think), the 5 went back to the same design as the earlier models. Not sure if the IBIS was updated, but I suffer with shaky hands sometimes, and the T5 works for me, Focus on the T5 is a bit better too I believe. I skipped the T4, but I've had a 1 (now with my son) a pair of 2's, plus a 3. I now have just the T5 and it's the best one yet in my opinion. Never tried an X-H body though.
Are you using the zoom function to check/set focus - I find just using the whole EVF leads to inaccuraciesNailing focus with that old manual lens is bloody hard

They do produce a new 23mm f1.4 Steve. Got one myself.Absolutely love it. I have always been a fan of the 35 f1.4, but this 33mm is just better in every way, and it focuses really quickly, I've hardly used anything else since I bought it.
Edit: If only they produced a 23mm version too.....
I dont - I dont like the experience. It starts to feel more like a video game than photography. I use focus peaking and that’s bad enough for taking you out of the moment.Are you using the zoom function to check/set focus - I find just using the whole EVF leads to inaccuracies
Blimey, just looked it up on Wex, it's a bit pricey at £819.... !!They do produce a new 23mm f1.4 Steve. Got one myself.

F/1.4 lenses do tend to be pricey, and that's an 'issue' I have with APS-C, you're paying top dollar for a 35mm f2 lens effectively, whereas you can pick up a good FF 35mm f1.8 lens for under £400.Blimey, just looked it up on Wex, it's a bit pricey at £819.... !!
I understand, but by magnifying (it’s only a button press on the rear dial) you can tune the focus peaking better, then click again to go back to full imageI dont - I dont like the experience.

Almost affordable in the refurb store (when in stock!)Blimey, just looked it up on Wex, it's a bit pricey at £819.... !!
I would guess it's the same as the filter size ..Lost lens cap XT 5 Kit lens 18-55 XF Zoom. Having never lost a cap before, anyone know what size I need?
Or where I measure the lens from where to where to determine?
Many thanks

Just search for a cap "xf 18 55 lens cap"
Amazon, and Ebay. ..... Wex: £12.99
E-Infinity - £629.Blimey, just looked it up on Wex, it's a bit pricey at £819.... !!
I think it's all photography gear in the UK not just Fuji.E-Infinity - £629.
I think Fuji in the UK take the p*ss a bit with lens pricing. And then chuck in cashbacks every so often to tempt those of us who won't bite on the regular pricing or don't go the refurb route.
Tax, import duties, GBP rates etc etc.I think it's all photography gear in the UK not just Fuji.
Tax, import duties, GBP rates etc etc.
It's all up in the air most of the time. If you compare eifinity with panamoz, it makes it even more strange I think.If one makes the assumption that they are not include then the price differences are rather more significant than "Tax, import duties". The grey prices tend to be dynamic and incorporate "GBP rates".
Which just leaves "etc etc".
58mm - same as the filter thread.

Yeah it's crazy, and yet in the past they didn't. So who really knows the reason for oddball pricing. It's all over the place.Panamoz charge more for a lot of their lens
A Mitsubishi A6M - Also known as the "Zero". Initially a dogfighter, they dominated the air until the allies eventually caught up. They ended up as the plane of choice for Kamikaze pilots.
Found this one in a field in Kawaguchiko.
