i use it permanently..

Thanks for the information. Certainly useful.

I've just found out that DY Divine only stock Marumi filters. They do not have B+W filters which were used and recommended by many on dpreview. Any thoughts if Marumi is equally as good as the B+W filters? Will the difference be noticeable? (frankly I expect the differences to be subtle at best, if there is any). Otherwise, I will need to get the B+W filters from somewhere else instead.

If going with B+W filters, there are two types. The F-Pro and XS-Pro.

F-Pro :-


XS-Pro :-


Which is more suitable(or better) for the X100? I've checked the specs of both and both seem to be quite different.

The F-Pro at 5mm is slightly thicker than the XS-Pro as shown in the picture below.


The material of the F-Pro is made of alloy whilst the XS-Pro is made of brass. The glass thickness is also different between the two. The glass of the F-Pro is thicker at 1.8mm and the XS-Pro's glass is thinner at 1.2mm.

Any thoughts whether the F-Pro or XS-Pro is a better choice for the X100? If the expected differences between the B+W and Marumi are negligible, then perhaps I will just go with the Marumi since DY Divine sell them.

As for the lens hood and adapter ring, is price the only factor that people opt for non-originals? The original LH-X100 lens hood and AR-X100 adapter ring will cost around RM300+/- in total. I've checked around and most non-originals appear to be in black finish.

I can't seem to figure out if this one is in black or silver. I called the seller but the seller seems to be busy and didn't pick up. Anybody know if this lens hood and adapter ring is in black or silver? I prefer the original silver finish.


The best part about the ad from this seller is the (1) LH-x100 Lens hood with (2) adapter ring + (3) 49mm multicoated UV filter + (4) 49mm Multicoated adjustable CPL filter + (5) Lens cap only cost RM130?? Link (item no. 4) Two multicoated filters and a lens cap thrown in together with the lens hood and adapter ring? What a package!

Wow! Ur certainly very thorough in your research...

b+w probably the best but $$$. I use a Hoya on mine... Got some funky reflections when shooting at direct bright lights.

Fuji actuall makes special filters for their X series cameras that are coated in the same way as the lenses. Not sure where to buy or how much though.

As for the hood and adapter. No issue with my silver JJC. Much cheaper than ori.

Good luck!

I have 3 types of filter

1. Hoya HD
2. B+W XS-Pro
3. Marumi Super DHG

Marumi is really value for money, but if price is not as issue I will go for Hoya HD ( Got 4 pcs of them, easy to clean and superb protection for the lens )

X100 teh tarik, can on?

haha.. that's what im thinking right before to see this.
if possible pls post ur location and we shall the venue.

Im from KL.So how about KL This- is what i suggest:

Objective

Teh tarik + X100 shooting session.

Location

Bukit Bintang, Pavilion, Time Square, Lot 10 area

Pick any of the above.

Reason being, can Teh tarik + X100 shooting session.

Date

For shooting, we need crowd, so weekend is a good choice. Need to reconfirm which weekend and which date.

Time

Morning definitely out, i dont think ppl nowadays willing to wake up so early especially on weekend. So, since we want to accomodate more ppl and to shoot ppl, morning not ideal.

Noon, is a bit hot, but not bad if can handle the heat and there's shadow everywhere, 2pm probably a good time. Can shoot from 2pm to 3pm (or if needed, can extend to 4pm shooting) then gather at dedicated place for tea and sharing session.

I dont recomend to start evening time, dont ask me why.

Still, i'll follow the majority.

Lets further discuss.

Add: If want, can extend this to other fuji thread, to have a fuji gathering + shooting.
