i think the hood also isnt that functional...unless u intend to use for its filter adapters so u can put CPL on etc.
flare wont be such a major concern, plus if it really comes down to shading the lens it can easily be done with ur left hand.
and the hood also doesnt really provide much protection, if anything it increases the surface area of the lens so it can be knocked easily and maybe just throw the lens out of alignment should a knock occur.

But the hood is pretty...

"It is said about Henri Cartier-Bresson that when fully automatic cameras became available he espoused them with great enthusiasm, stating that for too many years the technicalities of his craft had got in the way of his artistic vision."

If the guy is still alive , I think he will like the X10 EXR Auto mode. I use it 80% of the time
but I know "experts " avoid auto modes

One thing I dont like about EXR auto mode is the camera selects provia as standard
colour. I prefer velvia . Many have commented that for X100 and x10 Provia is actually
Astia and astia is provia. Fuji somehow got them reversed.

mine... sorry for the fubar pic. phone cam

where did u buy the step up ring from? online?
im looking for 40-52mm around here, seems no one carries.

Yes ebay. I got 40-43mm,40-46mm & 40-49mm. rm20 each.
I wont even recommend the 40-49mm ring if you like to use the ovf. It will block
25% at 28mm. 40-52mm will block half the view unless you get those
with slots at the back. Good slim filters start at 49mm and I dont use
OVF often so i use 40-49mm.

even on 1.02 the orbs seem to be still there.

apa macam?

only reason why i want 40-52 is so i can use my 52mm CPL again

Just bought X10 yesterday.

So far im loving it.

EXR brilliant.

this is taken by my bigger sensor camera









what's her name? she looked fatigue and lonely in the big ass backdrop i wanted to give her a warm lovely hug. and x10 is one heck of a head turner.

This is one of the sample photo for new fuji xs-1 ( same sensor as x10). I thought
sample photos are meant to show off the camera capabilities?
It is clear the Japs do not see this as a defect otherwise they would have done
something about it before putting it on the market. They have gone bonkers.

I definetely prefer star trails light than these magic orbs...

i'm letting go my x10

thanks

My X10 with UV Filter.(sorry for poor quality)

you have to buy the adapter+hood combo in order to install the filter, right?

also, with the filter the original casing will not fit too, right?

It IS reversed. Astia supposed to be more muted and Provia is supposed to be standard. I find on my X100 that Astia is more contrasty and confirmed by dpreview as well.

To use the original casing ( who in their right mind will do that. ) select
40-46mm adapter/filter combination.

Hope they correct this too. LOL.

I have the ciplak LH-X10 lens hood. It looks exactly like the original but I hate it, first because it's not airtight and the holes actually allow dust between the lens and the front element. It also protrudes at the bottom so the camera won't stay flat on a surface anymore.

Still waiting for someone to come up with a custom X10 specific UV and CPL filter. It'll be soon I guess. In the mean time I'm still enjoying the camera!

when can buy cheaper x10? which shop has the best offer?

Hi all x10 user. Like to ask how about video record? Still acceptable? If Sony nex-5n score 5/5 so how much x10 score? I like to buy this camera but my wife worry about the video record perform. Thank you so much.
