guys.. which tripod could you all recommend for travelling purpose.. =)

Get a carbon fibre tripod because it is light. Can try Sirui brand.
I'm also using Sirui CF tripod.

Select manual focus on camera body.
Select Aperture Priority mode
Select lens aperture to f/4 (for example)
Then everything from (approx) 1.8m to infinity will be in sharp (if my calculations are correct).

So you just point and shoot only.

how muchie your model ? haha..

OK, I will try this out tomorrow.

I bought 3 years back, that time RM 400, now costs more than that due to currency fluctuation and GST. Now Sirui CF tripods should be RM 600 and above but still cheaper than Manfrotto.

Awesome!! congrats with your new c̶a̶r̶ camera!! I'll have to stick with my Honda Accord-previous generation banyak mahal new generation~

OK x ? RM2,487

quite a good deal to me.. bought mine at 27xx

How and where did you managed to get that low?

Looks like he bought it from 11th street

Thanks!! Yeah, I was actually surprised seeing the price hike from X-T1's but IMHO it's agreeable with its crazy specifications.

BTW, the AF on this beast is amazing! Look at the sharpness of this kid's eye!


X-T2's AF nailed the focus, so sharp that it made my eyes bleed (figuratively of course). by Bart Baharudin, on Flickr

*above pic was shot with 56mm, aperture priority wide open at f1.2, Classic Chrome, spot-metered, finally NR and sharpness tweaked to +4.

Which AF mode did you use? Single point on the eye?

Frankly speaking I'm unsure, LOL. This was at my friend's wedding. Changed back and forth between single-point AF and zone AF (smallest group of points), but I kinda think it's the zone AF because I did set the camera's face+eye detection to auto.

I personally think classic chrome JPEG is (of course other are too) the best selling points for Fujifilm. Can't emphasize more on how I love Acros with red-filter and Classic Chrome film simulations.

At 1.2 with Zone, that's good AF.

Yes, all the time with CC included my jobs

I made a mistake using Classic Chrome in my landscape shots when I travelled to Yunnan. Luckily noticed the mistake after few shots. Phew.

Agreed that velvia/provia is better for landscapes compared to classic chrome, but it's always better+safer to shoot in RAW, OR you can use the film simulations bracketing to safe/remove post-production time

RAW + JPEG + CLASSIC CHROME FTW!!! what filter you use when you shoot for food photography?


BTW regarding about tripod, can https://www.manfrotto.us/manfrotto-mkcompac...-way-head-black use on XT1 + XF1655? or maybe XT2 + XF1655?

they're 1.5KG only.
