Of course can. I need reasons to get off my lazy arse and actualy go out and shoot anyways.

I always carry 2 spares with my XE2.

Better get 12mm f2 Samyang. Cheap and has the world's fastest autofocus.

It is.

UWA + zone focus > Any AF motor cos no need to focus at all.

For a single subject close up.. theres always focus peaking.

For everything else.. just pre-focus to ~2m away and f4.. then everything from a meter away to infinity will be in focus. Just snap away niah... the dof is very very deep. Easier than any AF once ur used to it.

The sammys sharp wide open so it depend on lighting condition.

Why not just the 18mm f2?

A while back I was in major dilemma about how to replace my RX100. I ended up with the GF7 but the poisoning continued.

Then again, if I think about it, there are times that I just don't bother bringing out even the RX100 but I never ever leave home without my phone.

And the image quality from phone these days decent enough for most photographic use.

The other day while I was doing free tour guide service... I spent the whole day cycling with my Malaysian guest all across Taipei on public rental bike and for such situation, a phone is more convenient lor.

Fisheyes are fun for candids. Come to think of it...my fisheye lenscap dun even have focusing ring. Its just got very near, hyperfocal and infinity level.

Poison needs antidote ... buy buy buy

Not going to happen. Fuji is moving to a wr route... the 35 f2, upcoming 23 f2 all have wr.

XF 18-55 is an excellant lens. I don't use it as often as I should as it doesn't balance well on my X-E2. Your heavier X-T1 wouldn't have that issue

Pictars!!!

Looks not bad on the X-T1

Another thing to note is dont rely on the distance markings on the lens. Mine's off a wee bit...shoots past infinity.. so test yours first to get an idea where infinity is... since ur shooting astro.

Random photos stolen from the web ler. I where got so rich like fruitie

X-E2 for fuji lor. Poor man's camera. Thank you fuji for kaizen.

You consider so long because can't make up your mind between the poor man/woman's samyang, fujis uwa zoom or classy looking zeiss mar
