Hi guys~~
Any XE-2 users here?
Not sure wanna get one or not
And not sure wanna get the kitlens or a prime lens

Played around with my fren's xe-2 with 35 f1.4, damn good in terms of the IQ n quality, for me sure prime, i always prefer prime over kitlens, just me 2 cents

Any sifus here purchased the x100/100s lens hood + adapter? Need some advise, where to purchase and pricing though on the ori fuji vs JJC, heard from other forumers they're some colour diffrences and quality built so-so only.... Pls share tqtq

Thanks for the input man, appreciate it!
Yeah, I love the sharpness and bokeh of prime lens, but sometimes its just not as versatile as the kitlens

i got one black color....third party from ebay china sellers....
very solid and cheap....i chose black because i knew the silver one will have color diff with the body.....
RM40 include adapter ring....

i bought some of the film pack from VSCO and modified myself

too bad they cut cost here...


Ohh...that cheese melt, i also melt liao...

Recent shot taken around pasar karat, ipoh.

guys. im in dilemma in choosing between em5 and xe1.

im prone to choose xe1 because of it's better colour reproduction.

but when thinking that it doesnt come with in body image stabilization, it demotivated me to buy xe1.im planning to use it with 35mm f2 lens. without ois.

is it really important to have ois? means long exposure shot will be blur.

any advice?

Add me in Just Bought a Used FujiFlim X-E1 with 18-55 2.8-4 kits

Do u guys know where to find a ori battery and how much it cost? And the triangle metal things who use to lock the strap do u guys know where to find???

Though both are of different 'type' of cameras, I had a similar dilemma between EM5 and X100S. I chose the X100S in the end.

If image stabilization is a big deal for you, get the em5. It will pair well with the Pana-leica 25mm f1.4 lens. You can get pre-owned for both at a nice price.

If you are keen to go for XE-1/2 with the 35mm, do note that it is actually f1.4 (not f2 as u mentioned) - thus the lack of image stabilization during low light is compensated by the larger aperture. Or you can also get the 18-55 with built in OIS.

Why I chose the Fuji, aside from the stunning image reproduction is the manual control experience - the tactile feel when you fiddle around with the aperture ring, the shutter speed dial, as well as the exposure compensation dial. It gives me a sense of intuitive control.

Just my 2cents, hope it helps to give you a different perspective. My advice is to go try out both cameras and decide for yourself

fuji render super color..

Well, I am using X-E2 + 35mm combo. Pretty good for casual shooting on the street, wedding dinner (again casual only) and close up portrait. The only problem for me now is on the RAW processing which LR wasn't able to demosaicing the x-trans raw nicely. Yet, there are many work around for it, just a bit tedious .

Bottom line, it really depends on what you plan to get from your camera. For me, it is all due to weight and lowlight (1 lens for travel). The 35mm f1.4 is around 2.5 stop faster than the 18-55 at 35 (f3.6), but the 18-55 has 2-3 IS stop to compensate. But then, you will lose out on shutter speed which may be important to avoid subject movement.

Therefore, it really depends on your shooting style and budget. But cost wise, getting the X-E2 + 18-55 combo will be lower as the lens itself is roughly 50% cheaper.

Thanks for the input man
Mind elaborating on the problem with RAW processing with LR?
Is it because the XE-2 is not supported yet? Or?

I think I will be more comfortable with the kitlens haha, its a pretty good lens to start with~
Perhaps later on only invest in the prime

No worries. Well, for the RAW processing, LR wasn't able to demosaicing the x-trans raw as others bayer raw. In short, the direct RAW converted x-trans files are softer than the jpeg output and the color reproduction is also a little off. I am using LR5.3 RC which listed to support X-E2. This is a typical problem that faces by most of the Fuji X users. If you are not die hard fan of LR or RAW shooter, this is not an issue. But too add on, using Photo Ninja or Iridient (for Mac only) would be a better off in x-trans raw processing which you can get sharper image. When I have some free time, I will post some comparison on LR, PN and OCC files.

I am not sure if you have any experiences in photoshooting. It surely good to start of with kit lens, but no worries the 18-55 is not normal kit. I would say it is a high quality kit as compare to the 16-50. With the kit, you can try to use a fix focus range (i.e. 18mm, 23mm, 35mm or 55mm) to understand if you are comfortable on using either one of those range. Once confirm, then you can pull your trigger on getting one of those prime or the 55-200mm . So, go try it out before you make up your decision.

Honestly speaking, I was hoping if fuji will launch a 50-150 f2.8 OIS lens and not overly expensive. Then I can fully retire my canon gear .

Besides, if you are a DSLR user, you may need some time to get use to the EVF which personally I feel better on fuji X-E2 EVF as compared to EM-1 or Alpha 7. Not sure why, it is just the feeling ...


Oh, not sure if any sifus here were using the EF-42 flash. Was thinking how well is Fuji flash work as compare to canon. Was hoping to use that with the 55-200mm if I cannot hold of my GAS .

I shoot jpegs most of the time.

Gotta love the double exposure mode.

Thanks for your valuable input again mate
Much appreciated!

Looks liked I will be affected by the problem since I use LR alot and I only shoot in RAW haha
So any ideas on whether there will be LR updates to solve this issue? Or its not exactly an issue in the 1st place?

Yeah, I've read reviews on the 18-55 F2.8-4, and I am very impressed with what I've read haha, it should be good enough for me, and what's more, its versatile ^____^


Thanks again ya!
