Guys... may I know where is malaysia fujifilm service center?

I notice my x100s focusing ring is a bit loose.. feels like it can be move a few mm to the left,right, up, bottom. It feels shaky (if thats the right way to describe)

I wonder if warranty will cover this minor issue? Is just I love my x100s for its build quality and this little "flimsy" feeling makes me feel uneasy...

Just wanted to share my pictures during my Kathmandu trip earlier this year. all taken with XT-1 and 35 1.4, processed with Lightroom.
I've always been a very shy person, it was very hard for me to approach random strangers and ask them to pose for photos.
However Nepalese are super friendly and down to earth, they don't shy away from cameras and will always smile for you. This is by far the most enjoyable trip I've experienced so far.

Lovely shots! Always wanted to take that kind of photos but I'm also very shy. Most of the time, I curi2 snap and run. sweat.gif Luckily so far I have no problem, once my friend was a bit unlucky when she took photos of an old peddler and she was "caught", the old lady forced my friend to pay her RMB 50 which my friend refused. laugh.gif Then just bought a pair of handmade shoes from her for RMB 20 but she still insisted on additional RMB 50. We pretended didn't understand her accent and ran away. tongue.gif

haha that's quite funny actually.
In Nepal, mostly those monks aka 'sadhu' at famous temples will ask for money before u can take their photos. One of them trying to con my friend RM100 for 1 photo! laugh.gif

I found that the most easiest way to ask for a photo is to make an eye contact with them and then make a 'camera snap' gesture while smiling. More often than not they will nod in agreement.

X-T2 looks good but I'm still not tempted enough, at least it hasn't crossed my mind to upgrade my X-T1. All depends on the price, if it good enough without me splurging a lot to top up from my X-T1, then I will consider to get one.

Not something that I die-die must upgrade. I didn't even use the video recording on my X-T1, what's more with 4K recording, I will under utilize this function too. laugh.gif

I like the 325 AF points, I think that's a lot more compared to X-T1 right? tongue.gif

Will be announced in 5 days time, let's see. laugh.gif

for me the main selling point for upgrade is the joystick and AF points. if subject tracking can be improved then its awesome.

dual slot storage also enticed me as i shoot jpeg+raw most of the time.

higher pixels? other than professional/studio work i dont think it matter to the majority of its user. but if the new sensor can significantly improve low light performance, then i'm sold biggrin.gif

Great shot! Only complaint would be the grains are a little distracting when zoomed in.

thanks biggrin.gif

also thank you for your input. i did increased grain value to achieve that 'filmy' look, but i agree it's a bit messed up when zoomed in laugh.gif
still trying to figure out how to achieve a subtle and pleasing grain effect.
