Have you tries a raw file, or un edited jpeg?
Those were the two formats I tried, but thanks for the suggestion,

It depends very much on your requirements and budget. Do you prefer a shoulder bag, a sling style bag, a back pack? Budget? Amazon do a lot of reasonably priced camera bags for each of those categories. Lowepro, Manfrotto, Think Tank, Billingham etc. are more expensive better quality options. Only you can answer the question based on your needs. I have about 10 bags that are used regularly for different needs from single camera/lens holsters for travelling light to full backpacks for when I need to take everything out with me.
Seems a neat idea - what kind of price would the film packs be I wonder? Is it maybe ten shots in a pack?I know it's not X, but anyone else tempted by the Instax Evo Mini when it comes out in Feb?
Yes, the quality is not going to be a patch on our main cameras, but for the Event and model photography I do in the main, being able to print something off occasionally to hand over seems quite fun and close to a USP.

Love that.
It's a lovely lens and the closest to what the human eye sees apparently. I've had it a couple of times, shot from a version I had in 2018.For some reason, I`m having a bit of a hankering for a 35 f1.4, and don`t really know why. In the past i`ve had a bit of a love hate relationship with the 50mm (on FF), and bought and sold 3 of the buggers I do like the 23 f1.4, but kinda fancy a change.
Any thoughts etc would be greatly appreciated
I’ll be getting the new evo. I currently use the mini 40 and one of the mini printers. I buy the film packs from Amazon, they can be bought at a reasonable price. Occasionally I get packs of 10 for £5 and packs of 40/50 for between £25-£35, I just stock up when they’re reduced and stick them in the fridge. You sometimes don’t have a choice of borders on sale film and they do have a shelf life but I’ve not found that a problem as of yet.15 quid for 20 shots I believe.
Good planI just stock up when they’re reduced and stick them in the fridge.
I got rid of mine, because, although the results were beyond reproach, it was far too frustrating to use - the AF would hunt around for ages, especially in anything slightly under perfect light conditions.For some reason, I`m having a bit of a hankering for a 35 f1.4, and don`t really know why.

More from the forest. Really wish I'd taken a step to the right for this one, but I was out on a walk with the in-laws so was really just grabbing snaps as we walked.

Such a different beast, going to be doing a lot of practice over the next few daysLooking forward to more participation in that thread
I prefer a rucksack for mountain biking with the camera gear, but also had to get a new back after downsizing from FF Canon. I am currently using an Evoc Stage Capture, but not sure if they are still available in the UK. There are some "Moment" bags that seem to be getting good reviews at the moment.Yeah should have specified, I use mostly shoulder bags but more recently I don't mind a messenger type either. I'm usually on a mountain bike when I head out to photograph so the shoulder type work better that way. I've had some decent bags in the past just not up to date on the newer models. I've had think tank in tha past and they are very tough, still use a sling-o-matic 20 as storage for gear but it's way too big, heavy and bulky for use with the smaller/lighter Fuji gear. Originally used it for FX Nikon stuff
I am in a similar position, I have been more than happy with the 23mm f2 lens on my X-T2, to the point where I am looking at getting an X100 variant, but I also keep looking at the 35mm f1.4...For some reason, I`m having a bit of a hankering for a 35 f1.4, and don`t really know why.

Looking back through my archives, most of my favourite images were taken on my old Canon 50mm f1.4, although mostly with a 1D2, so 1.3x crop. The pictures just seemed to have a specialness about them, which seems to match with all the reports of the Fuji 35mm f1.4, even though objectively it probably won't match my needs. Maybe I need to try and borrow one for a few days...
I am taking part in a series of "winter defiance" challenges, one of which was to create our own interpretations of Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" painting. This is my attempt, shot with my X-T2 and kit lens:

Paul, The 35mm F1.4 lens as I'm sure you know is an "Excellent" optic, maybe a tad slow on auto focus (compared to other lenses) but certainly no slouch on an X-H1. I personally much prefer it focal length wise to the 23mm (35mm in F/F) terms which for me is neither wide enough or long enough, probably something to do with a standard 50mm lens that used to come with 35mm film cameras a time or two back. Just my personal opinion for what its worth.
