90mm f2 anyone?

Shot in Penang Hill

Having owned the 10-24 before and tested the 16mm, I'd say go for the 10-24 for the versatility if you wanna use it for travel.

That depends if you shoot lots of landscape or interior.
The 12mm view can be a bit limiting and not as versatile as the 18-55.
If you can only have 1 lens, I think the 18-55 is the lens to get.

If body only at rm3k, I would rather get the X-T1 at rm3.2k, a rm200 difference only

Price notwithstanding, 23mm for me.
The FOV of equivalent to 35mm FF, it's more all rounder lens, unless you grow up with film SLR and used to nifty fifty FOV.

Well, since you've already have the x100t, made it easier to choose the 35mm, or the 16mm

Street price is definitely much lower.
Someone just bought the X-T1 graphite from Mr Oss for rm3790 and I believed the black X-T1 is about rm3.2k.

To the TS,
I've played with the X-T10 last month and I would recommend you to get the X-T1 if the difference is only rm200.

I have been using the Sirui T-025X (1st version with fixed center column) for the past 3-4 years and have been very happy with it. My friend even borrowed the tripod for his 1 month backpacking Europe trip and he never complaint to me about the tripod.
It's light, about 0.7kg, 30cm collapsed length that can goes into Billingham Hadley Pro bag, stable enough for X-T1 with 56 1.2 + nissin i40 mounted, has a center hook to keep it stable.
The only cons that I can think of if the maximum height is only 1.3m, with center column extended.
If you are a tall person, e.g >1.7m, you need to bend down to shoot.
If you need a taller tripod, Sirui just launched the T-024X, which has a maximum height of 1.4m, but folded length of 40cm as it is a 4-sections tipod, unlike the 5-sections T-025X.

The T1205 has more solid feel with all legs extended but it still has the same maximum height like the T-025X, but it is heavier and not as compact when folded.

I've tried BeFree carbon a couple of time and to me, the ergonomic is a bit bummer to get used to.
I'm not a fan of the legs clip mechanism and also on how to adjust the spread of the legs (only 2 angles, instead of 3 angles for the Sirui).
The tripod head also feels not as solid as the Sirui counterpart.
The BeFree carbon is also heavier than both the 025X and 1205.

I'm sure yo've made the right decision.
I don't think you will go wrong with the T1205 + G10 ballhead.
It's a good tripod, well worth's the money.

It's really indeed "poor man Gitzo's", Gitzo-like build quality minus the price tag

The top is for the vertical battery grip contact, i.e. the rubber cover under your camera body.
The round one is the cover for the hot sync, i.e. on front top left corner of the camera

I'm using Peak Design Leash right now.
Previously used Artisan Artist 103N.

Not a fan of the stock strap as difficult to adjust the length on the go.

As Sniper mentioned, the loops are plastic and it won't scratch the body.
It's much cheaper than the Artisan and more flexible as you can detach the strap if you wanna go naked

You need to install the triangle ring that comes with the camera first as the hole is too small
