All with the X-T5 and the 16-50.

I haven't been on this forum for the whole 1800 pages of this thread, but is there a chance that @bloater might buy one, and then sell it again a few days later?

Did you mean me?
Been looking at cameras again actually

Sounds good, George. Let me know what you think
Sourdough is fine.

It was on the "Next Level" Paul, shame I had to share half of it with my wife.

If you're worried about cheese puns it's okay; there are stiltons to go before it's too much.

Looks like my 18-135 will need to visit Fuji for a repair. It's gone horribly soft in one corner. It's also a bit tatty, (grips a bit lose etc.)

Are I right in thinking that Fuji repairs are a fixed price for each item.? Seems to be 135.00 for the lens in question. Will Fuji give the lens a full MOT while they have it or just fix the issues I tell them about?

My understanding is that its a fixed price repair, and your lens will come back as if it is a factory refurb lens (ie fully serviced) excepting any general wear and tear

 

[bl0at3r]

Quite like the look of the X-T50 with a 23mm prime lens. Anyone got/had one?

 

[Craikeybaby]

Probably much like a chunky X100VI...

 

[Earley Man]

My understanding is that its a fixed price repair, and your lens will come back as if it is a factory refurb lens (ie fully serviced) excepting any general wear and tear

That has been my experience with. the two X-H1's and four lenses I have sent to the UK service department for servicing and/or repair over the last year. You also get 12 months guarantee on any replacement parts and the work carried out. Another plus point is that they send you a suitable foam filled cardboard box and pay the postage both ways.

 

[Mr Perceptive]

Alan, if thats the 23mm 2F2 or the old 23mm F1.4 lens, it will not be as sharp as your previous X100V, the newer 23mm F1.4 will be.

I quite like the X-T50 in the hand, but you are moving away froim something that 'could' fit in a large pocket.

And given the fact that you've not gelled enough with your previous Fuji's to keep them for a long time, maybe something from a different manufacturer might be an option worth considering.......

Yup. I had several of mine done a while ago including the 18-135, all at fixed prices which include postage (they send you a box and label). One needed a new group of glass bits (I never knew) and another had fungus. Absolutely excellent service and a fast turnaround.

EDIT, looks like I'm a bit late to replying but another positive from me.

This is helpful, but can’t afford a Leica lol.

I found the lens in the X100VI (and previous V) nice and sharp

Thanks.

Repair is booked and paid for. Very helpful of them to provide packaging for lens.

I have been given an olympus fit manual focus lens and need an adaptor so I can use it on my fuji body.
I don't want to spend a lot as I don't imagine I'll be using it a lot but any recommendations as to what to buy?
Amazon has a few - there is this one K&F Concept OM to FX Compatible para Lens Mount Adapter for Olympus Zuiko OM Mount Lens to Fujifilm Fuji X FX Mount Camera for Fuji XT2 XT20 XE3 XT1 X-T2 https://amzn.eu/d/jl7EVfT
Is there any reason to spend any more?
Does anyone have something they no longer want and want to sell it (via the proper channels obviously)
