My sweet visitor shot with the new camera and lens

After two years from selling my Canon 60D and lenses and planning to buy the Fuji X-T20, while the new X-T30 is now replacing that, I finally bought the Fuji X-E3.
Buying the latest model on the previous X-trans sensor (X-H1 was never an option for me) gave me room to include the 18-55mm and the 35mm/1.4 in my bag and have the XF55-200mm on the way.
First time shooting with a rangefinder, this sweet system is bringing back all the joy to travel with a camera set on budget flights!
The first picture was taken at the Dublin Zoo a couple of weeks ago when visiting my daughter, and the second taken in Bournemouth while trying the 35mm.
I hope to be more active here and stop lurking only.

any of you have a combination of AD600/Xplor600 and AD200/eVolv 200s?

I've had 2 eVolv 200s for a while that replaced my 5 or 6 speedlites I had. Then I got a Xplor 600.

So with the standard case that comes with the Xplor 600... I've managed to fit:

Xplor 600 and battery
Xplor 600 standard reflector
Xplor 600 shoulder carry case
Xplor 600 extension head
2 x eVolv 200s and batteries
2 x grid attachments for eVolv 200s
2 x barebulb heads for eVolv 200s
Sekonic L-358 light meter
pack of AA batteries for R2 trigger
Gels
Fuji R2 Pro trigger


Anyone have a set similar to above with a case or bag that they are able to fit everything into nicely?

Everything fits, but heavy. I was looking into maybe a Pelican 1510 or maybe even a wheeled camera backpack.

I just finished packing for tomorrows location shoot, One 1514 with three cameras and a few lenses plus batteries, the moneymaker & also a 7 inch reflector! And one Airport Security for lights and small grip etc... also have a couple of gimbals & the 50-140 as well as a 120˚reflector and a 30 inch popup reflector. Only bringing one stand (a c-stand) and one deep para for one shoot I'll have to do, they will fit in the front pouch, Tripod is in it's own bag. Yea I have an assistant tomorrow - best camera accessory ever. So very nearly bought a production manager 50 the other day as it'll fit a few c-stands but figured that once full it would just be a pain to move so kinda defeats the point of it. Think a small cart is more up my street with a few smaller bags.

I've two shoots tomorrow but the timing worked out so nicely that I'll even get time for lunch, first client insisting we have lunch before I go and the second one is doing the same for later. Nice to have nice clients.

With the 1510 the standard reflector will only fit face up/down & not mounted to the AD600, I'd say you'd fit all that in there fairly easily though. The Pelis are a great case, I mainly use mine for lenses/cameras and nothing else as I find the ThinkTank much more versatile for cramming in gear and it doesn't feel as protective as the Peli, you can stand on the peli for more height or just sit on it. Change out the wheels though, those stock ones are awful.

I have the AD600Pro and 2x AD200's (stacked) along with the Zoom Li-ON r2 and Zoom R2 Mini. They all fit quite nicely into a Pelican 1510. The 1514 would allow for more accessories though... but it get's really heavy quickly.

Yes the bag the 600 comes with is nice, but gets really heavy.

What I do is never pack AD600s. They stay in their shoulder bags. When I am ready to get stuff from my car, I open my avenger/mathews wheeled stands and attach the AD600 with the bag to the stand. I don't use 1510 either as they heavier compared to the bag that AD600 come in. That suitcase of AD600 has my triggers, AD200, grids for softbox, extension head. Wish I could fit two extension heads and a 7" reflector all in one of those suitcases but doesn't fit so I have two suitcases in my car. Setup my stands, modifiers and then just roll with the wheeled stands, so much easier for me.

The peli isn’t going to give you that much more room from the ad600 case.

I ended up with this case to hold all of my light gear(stands, modifiers)

Picked up a grip for my XT2. Hopefully, have it this sunday. Curious to see other than the change in fps if it adds any other boost in performance to the body

Carrying gear is sometimes such a hassle. I just recently bought a MAC sport folding wagon. This way I can lug stuff and throw bags, tripods, kitchens sink and walk to the location from the car.

It works as a great 2 battery charger. Otherwise it just gives more battery capacity. Greater bulk for me is tolerable. It's a toss up between throwing batteries in my pocket or just lugging bigger fuji gear and never worry about missing a shot with 3 batteries in the camera/booster combo. I believe it's the video application that really benefits in body performance.

I forced myself to go out for a minute after work and shoot.. i've been getting lazy about street and city shooting.
as much as I like shooting portraits, I never get the same feeling from it that I do when I walk the city streets with music in my ears and a camera to my eye .

a quick shot of the queensboro bridge .. tripod and a polarizing filter would have been nice for the water .. next time

I think I'm going to stick with the Xplor 600 case it came with. I do have one of those folding wagons I can use. Maybe I'll just spend the cash on a perpetual CaptureOne Pro Fuji license instead.

Trying 120mm macro for the first time.

Working hard, as caught by my assistant
