QUOTE(GRexer @ Jan 30 2015, 12:27 AM) I think the "kit" price of X-T1 + 18-135mm is better? 18-55mm can be bought from the used market easily if needed. Rough estimation is that you'll save almost RM1k for the X-T1 + 18-135mm compared to if both bought separately. As compared to the X-T1 + 18-55mm which is usually around RM1k over the body-only price adn the 18-55mm usually trades for around RM1k anyway. i agree that 18-135 kit will be best buck but depends on ur need. I seldom need shoot so tight or far...plus it is slightly bulkier.....if i really need the length, either i pick up 55-200mm ..or if i really want weather sealed 50-140mm(if i got the money) ...the only advantage 18-135 is all rounder lens n weather seal as a travel lens, maybe can consider 18-135mm as u only need to bring 1 lens for ur whole trip for now, it cost extra rm700-1200 compare to xt1 + 18-135 compare to 18-55...

QUOTE(AkiraX @ Jan 30 2015, 12:15 AM) Hi everyone, plan to get the XT1 , but not sure to go for the 18-55 or 18-135mm, any recommendation ? Also, which shop can offer good bargain? prefer shop only, gonna use credit card  Thanks 1-2 days ago i posted , lazada have extra discount....the price actually u cant get it anywhere(not second hand price)....even u got internal price, u can get that low..i checked  (expect fuji gives u for free) retail shop usually selling at retail price...even u connection, u still need to pay slightly extra for their service/rental shop etc etc....i did my research at lazada, 3l trading actually is owned by one of the seller in garage sales n he has good reputation mr oss now accept credit card....u can try ask him for best price...i can say his price is very good...

QUOTE(GRexer @ Jan 29 2015, 07:56 PM) Well, there's also the "almost X-T1" X-E2, which can be had for a decent price if you're patient enough to source for a used unit. At one time, I had all 3, the X-E2 is a noticeable step-up from the X-E1 despite what others say, the only thing I disliked is that they replaced the view mode button on the X-E1 to a Q button, which was quite inconvenient, I used the Q button a lot and I like it's placement on the X-E1, and appreciates a dedicated view mode button as I'm almost always putting it in EVF-only mode when out and about to save battery life. On a side note, man, sometimes I wished the 16-50mm is a F2.8-4 instead, it's a much more usable 24-75mm equivalent to me. Then again, well, it would have cannibalised sales of the 16-55mm WR.  Fuji has change market plans...now coming out premium lens like 16-55, 50-140,56mm...all pricey lens but because of the pricey lens..they keep the company afloat....take a look at the report From fuji rumors

QUOTE(fruitie @ Feb 1 2015, 12:24 AM) I brought 5D with grip, 70-200L, 28-70L and 17-40L when I climbed The Great Wall of China last year. Right after I came down, I told myself I will sell everything off when I got back to Malaysia. Then after that I used my Note 3 for the remaining two months in China and all these were kept in the hotel safe.  I came back and Fujifilm announced X-T1 that time, straight locked my target and bought it. Never regretted since then. I have brought it to all my overseas trip and I'm now in Japan. Loving it so much.  have a nice trip in japan...if can help us check second prices in japan n compare... probably u can visit fujifilm flagship shop there...they got tons of accessories

QUOTE(AkiraX @ Feb 1 2015, 10:13 PM) Called YL Camera (Camera-Pro Shop) at Jaya33, Fujiflim X-T1, with 1855mm + 16GB Memory Card, asking price for 4.8K, is it overpriced? ..  Thanks for sharing! Wow, you are superb, see my analysis below: Canon EOS 5D Mark III (860 g) Canon EF 70-200mm (1,470 g) Canon EF 28-70mm (880g) Canon EF 17-40mm (500 g) TOTAL: 3710g = 3.71kg not include the camera bag + misc..  and you reached The Great Wall of China... That is really encouraging, for me to - s.w.i.t.c.h  the selling retail price... try this seller http://www.mudah.my/New+fujifilm+x+t1+body-32615704.htmgive him a call for stock or PM Mr Oss / scdvom in garage sales for price...

In conclusion, she carried a pack of 5kg rice to The Great Wall of China.  mine though from lazada, but the shop own by scdvom....so trusted seller...haha his company called 3L-Trading in lazada but another name call irgb-photoshop

QUOTE(hjh87 @ Feb 2 2015, 03:10 PM) Hey guy, Anyone of you have used the 16-55mm F2.8 WR? Worth getting compare to 18-55mm F2.8-F4? F2.8 WR = fixed aperture but NO stabilization F2.8-F4 = not fixed aperture but have stabilization Based on the price different of 750usd izit worth getting the new lens? if really got money, i will take a 18-55 and pair with 50-140...more value for now.....16-55 is too new and may cost around 3.5k ..this is my opinion

These days I been using prime so much, I don't bother on zoom..18-55\16-50 nearly unused except travel or passed camera to friend.. Ur zoom is ur feet...
M43 is actually I consider true mirrorless due to small n compact..... The zoom lens is small n nice
Fuji getting bigger but In sharpness is getting better.... Either u wan quality or compact.. Bare in mind zoom lens has vignettes but fuji definite lesser... Ppl compare fuji to Carl lens.. Tat y fuji lens getting bigger
I waiting for next pancake lens.. 27mm is sweet to carry
