So they did, I'd forgotten about that, oh yeah and AustraliaGood for you if you love it. It's still not worth the money to me personally. If I don't get the 18-55 anytime in the near future I may pick up a used 18m for the right price. Since you mention it, Ireland beat the All blacks recently![]()
At the moment Julian Savea is one of the weaker players in the All blacks squad, doesn't make him a bad player ! It's all relative, I love my 18mm, a very under rated little lens.

Not finished watching this yet but something's not right if he's getting less "side to side" accuracy than far to near, or "forward" focus testing. I've not been able to watch this with sound though so maybe he mentions it? Near to far focus tracking is more demanding a test on the AF system then panning at the same subject distance so can't help but think there's user error, which then makes me question the rest of the test? The D500 is supposed to have a better AF system than my D750 and I can get 99% accuracy/hit rate shooting runners at f2.8 both side to side and coming towards meI thought this is a reasonably unbiased and interesting video

\II see the point you are making, but I would hardly say Savea is one of the weaker All Blacks, what with him being the highest try scorer in the 2015 world cup and 12th on the all time try scorers list after only 4 seasons of International rugby - i'd argue he's probably the best wingers in world rugby!
Are you saying the x100t is better than the XT2? I'm lost.Visited the LCE show today in Southampton and played with pretty much everything on the Fuji stall
Some thoughts:
1. I have stronger will power than I thought
2. The X-Pro 2 has a cool picture in picture function (in the OVF) and is exactly as I expected it to be, a faster version of the X-Pro 1
3. The X-T2 is very similar to the X-T1, other than the obvious new features (joystick, dual card slots etc.)
4. I absolutely love the X100T! The OVF is fantastic (and also has the picture in picture thing going on), but the aperture ring is a little hard to get to
5. The X70 is tiny (!) and also has a somewhat fiddly aperture ring
6. The 18-135mm and 10-24mm look OK size size...tempting!
7. Silver lenses look naff on black bodies
8. I want an X100T
9. The Olympus OM-D5 II in silver is a sexy looking camera![]()

I believe it was the Velvia (Vivid) film preset but I'd have to double check.What colour settings is this?

What have you decided Andrew, I thought you had an XT2 on pre order. Then I saw your comments on a fuji facebook page asking if anyone had switched from Sony to Fuji and we're thinking of staying Sony. I'm lost!!!am hear watching

I have seen a fair few reviews where some have given up Nikon & Canon professional bodies to move to the XT-2.Lost?? LOST... I think Rookies is lost (in a wilderness of indecision)
Does this help ? http://petapixel.com/2016/04/04/sonys-full-frame-pro-mirrorless-fatal-mistake/
I have seen a fair few reviews where some have given up Nikon & Canon professional bodies to move to the XT-2.
Also seen a couple of Sony A7II / A7RII users doing the same for various reasons.
Ultimately no system is perfect, with the current Fuji double cash back offers now would be a good time to move to Fuji, I ended up getting my lenses a very good prices, can't complain really.![]()
Just a quick off-topic question regarding a purchase of a Fuji lens from Amazon UK to take advantage of the double cash back offer (25th Nov until 1st Dec).
Ordered via Amazon on the 25th (Nov) but they are currently out of stock, since Amazon UK only take payment once its been dispatched, they will invoice then and not when I ordered it.
This means my invoice date will fall after the 1st of December missing the double cash back offer from Fuji, my question is, does Fuji base the cash back on the invoice date or when you ordered the lens?![]()

I agree, the x100t is a fantastic camera and if I didn't have young, hyperactive kids, I wouldn't be selling mine! The XT/XPro and X100/70 series really do complement each other, it's not at all crazy to want to own one from each type! I'm sure that I'll be looking to replace the x100 in a year or so if finances allow.No, what I'm saying is that playing with an X-T2 didn't give me a sudden urge to race out and replace my X-T1. The X100T grabbed my attention as it's a nice pocketable size with an amazing OVF - a completely different camera which would complement an ILC nicely![]()
Thanks for the update.@ASH Just FYI, my Adobe sub ran out today and I was able to reactivate with my Amazon code, no interruption to service or need to download anything...
Agree about the silver, I do prefer the silver of the Olympus over the graphite on the XT1. Overall I prefer the XT1 GSE though, although both very sexy cameras imo. I still think my sexiest camera is the OM1 thoughI have the GSE now, but the Olympus is a nicer silver imo and the prism looks awesome! Much rather have my X-T1 though!
Are you rookies in disguise?Which lens(es) did you use to take these?
Agree no system is perfect, but all are capable of taking great pictures (obviously there are technical differences notably in Sensor, AF and glass), how they handle is a personal choice. My advice is if you are going to swap, then commit, because until you've used a camera system for a decent period, you really won't understand it.
The offer isn't just on Amazon I would cancel and buy elsewhere.Just a quick off-topic question regarding a purchase of a Fuji lens from Amazon UK to take advantage of the double cash back offer (25th Nov until 1st Dec).
