STICKY:  Fuji Users Unite - Post your comments, questions and images here

If I had the X100T, I would be hard pressed to consider upgrading. Not to say the differences aren't significant, but the T is already such a great camera.

As an Xpro user (1 & 2), I would definitely get the F for the joy stick and battery compatibility. But that's because I don't already have the T .

Exactly my thinking! Plus the £1000 I'd save by not buying a new camera would be much better spent travelling somewhere to take photos rather than being stuck at home taking photos of stuff around the house, because I can't afford to do anything... but with a brand new camera haha.

Anyone using the Lens Turbo II here on POTN? Straight got the new toy from HK!!
not sure which ratio i should consider for setting adapter MM value lenght.
guess its 0,72X, so for my MIR20MM could be 14mm.
SOOC, some CA on the first one, wide open.

After all these years I decided to forego the neck strap on my cameras. Not like I ever really put them around my neck, they were always slung around my shoulder or across my chest. I'd inevitably hit my child across the head and it came swinging around when I bent down to pick him up.

I swapped it out for a nice little leather wrist strap I found on Amazon.

But then again sometimes I wanted to be hands free. I initially bought a Spiderholster Pro setup. I didn't like the plastic look of the Black Widow, which is for lighter cameras, so I opted for the metal construction of the Spider Pro. I got it, and the metal plate was way too big. It would either stick too far out the back or too far out the front.

Then I found out that Spider actually makes one for mirrorless cameras now. I should be getting it in a few days lol.

I am on fence for lens turbo 2.

It will make my Pentax 55 both normal and 85 or so depending on regular adaptor or turbo. Please keep us up to speed on your thoughts. If the iq is there, I may do it for that one lens, scrap a 35, and have door open for other glass if I choose.

I purchased the larger bolt on "grip" for my fuji bodies. I simply put my spider pin on that for my spider pro system. Not perfect but it works.

On my fuji body I use the op/tech neoprene pro strap. When I do not use the neck strap it's removable. When i use dual fuji bodies I snap on the neoprene neck strap and put the other body on the spider holster. I do that for my canon gear too and this makes my setup extremely functional. However it's not a "cosmetically beautiful" strap setup.

I've got one. I had to modify the mount on mine to make it fit my X-Pro2 which was a little unnerving, but it seems to work great now, though the tolerance is still very tight.

I think the IQ is certainly there, seems to be just as good via the lens turbo as it is through a straight adapter with any of my lenses that I've tried on it, definitely sharper than the Kipon BavEyes I had before (and even that I didn't have complaints about). I use my Rokinon 85mm f1.4 equivalent and 135mm f2 via a dumb adapter... makes for 2 awesome lenses out of one

Here's a couple of shots from the X-Pro2 and Rokinon 85mm via the Lens Turbo ii

Or you could just sell your X100T and put that money towards the X100F and only come out of your pocket for the difference. Why keep both cameras when you can still get a nice amount of money for a good condition X100T?

Fuji x100F looks awesome. Got some serious GAS issues right now

Obviously I'd sell it, but still be out of pocket a considerable amount. Given it's the F £1249 new, can't imagine I'd get more than a few hundred (it's a refurb and cost me £600 in the first place). I can hold out until the next iteration... I think!

It is nice that my WLC would still work, given it permanently lives on my X100T.

Yes. But the new WCL will auto-switch the camera frame lines, etc

I've been pretty happy with the one I got for Nikon.

Here it is used with the Zeiss 85mm/1.4:

There are more examples posted To the same account with the 85, as well as with the Tokina 11-16mm/2.8 and I think something with the venerable 105mm/2.5 will be showing up soon. The images will have hashtags clarifying which combinations are used.

Fuji makes a bunch for Camera announcement and I go and buy myself an X-T2 finally

Can't wait to get shooting with her. So far my only complaint is the little leather protectors for the eyelet clips......Why are they so much longer then the ones on my X-e2?

Speaking of Camera announcements and the X-E2, so whats everyones thoughts, will Fuji release an X-E3? They released the little brother to the X-T2 (X-T20) but no new little brother to the X-Pro2?

EDIT: and guess who just learned that X-T2 raw files are not supported in Lightroom 5.7.......EFF!!!!!!!

Congratulations.

X-E3 is an interesting question. The X-E series was very popular, so you would think it was inevitable. But I wonder what the sales numbers look like for Fuji. The Xpro1 was a bit behind the curve for a while (it took 4 years to release the second version), so a number who wanted the general form factor, lower cost and later features bought in. Now that the Xpro2 exists, the role of the X-E series is less clear.

The X100 series established Fuji as something different and it hit a sweet spot of size, aesthetics, performance, the Leica mystique in a better package with auto focus for a lower price (traditional Leica owners more often than not had one lens). The Xpro1 was an attempt to make a real camera out of the X100, but it was plagued with issues--understandable issues, since it was version 1 of a really new thing in the camera world, but still real issues. Many were addressed in firmware, but at that point many people had already decided it was too challenging. And the camera you bought came with old firmware you had to upgrade! In the end, the Xpro1 was useable and, for those who appreciate what it is, the only game in town.

The X100 got fame and modest success. The Xpro1 did not do as well as expected. Fuji, thank goodness, was playing a long game. The X-T1 broke Fuji into the big time. It was good enough as a consumer camera, it was exciting to Wired, it hit the hipster button, it appealed to many pros, the photo media loved it and it even showed up in the regular media. It had enough of the film aesthetic in its design, it worked well, it produced excellent results out of the box and it had no quirks.

Based on its great success, the X-T10 is born. Do the X-T10 and Xpro2 f between them fill the needs the X-E series fills for 95% of the X-E series's potential customers? Hard to say.

Fuji has said that it wants to trim the variety off entry level options. Maybe that includes the X-E series. Or maybe they use it to introduce a few new evolutionary features as an in-between development release as they work on the Xpro3/X-T3/etc versions.

The last answer would be my guess. Fuji usually staggers their releases.

Who knows...?
