I did check on that... but 24mm on apsc sensor seems to be too narrow for general architecture use..

You should had gone for the XT3 instead. Speaking on my own experience, when I first started with fuji (jumped ship from Sony) I went with the XT20 favoring it smaller size as opposed to XT2. But later the same year, i had the chances to touch the XT2 as well as the newly launched XT3 (back then) during my trip in Japan at one of the BIC camera store. The buttons and dials really felt much more premium than the XT20. Things got worse after I've acquired the XT1. Despite it's age, the flagship premium feel of the XT1 out shined the much younger XT20 by a great margin, which made the XT20 feel like a toy camera. Sold the XT20 later and use the money to buy an XT2. Never again would I go for the XT20/30 series. I think that experience made me understand why people willing to spend more money to buy continental car as opposed to Asian made car just for the much better handling experiences.

XT2 can be had for slightly over 2K. It is still a very very capable camera.

Tell me about it. I've already knew about it, but didn't know it would bother me that much. Incidentally, when I was deciding the Fuji 23 vs Viltrox 23, I made the decision to get the viltrox 23 because for the price of one fuji 23, I can get the viltrox 23 as well as the viltrox 85 (which I did at a later time) like you did. Even with the price of 2 viltrox lenses, it was still cheaper than the fuji 23. But recently, has been entertaining the thought of selling the viltrox 23, top up 1K++ to get the Fuji XF 23 f1.4....but since I don't use 23 so much as the 35 and the 56, I still find it hard to convince myself for that....

I love off camera flashes system from Godox. You can do more online research about this. Very affordable yet feature rich. For starter, you can get Godox X2T-F trigger and Godox TT685F. Both the F, meant they are for fuji mount. Below is one of my fav short lately.

For architecture/interior photography, you don't need fast AF. Heck, you can even do it with Manual focus. So, as for the camera body, all those you've mentioned are perfectly capable of your intended purposes. If you want to save money, I would suggest you to get an XT2 instead, else get the Xt3.As for lens, I don't personally like the XF10-24, firstly because I'm a prime shooter, and secondly, I had enough of F4 lens. I would recommend you the Samyang 12mm f2, either the MF or AF version, Viltrox 13mm f1.4 or wait for Tamron to port their 11-20mm f2.8 zoom to Fuji X mount.

I actually plan to go for xt2 for the lowest entry price... but I cannot find any decent deal or good condition... So i probably go for XH1, at least im able to explore with the idea of taking basic video with the ibis. I just bought a used xf10-24f4 ver 1 in really good condition. Personally I really dont like using a zoom lens myself.. for own leisure I will always use primes. But this is for job, so i feel like i shouldnt restrict myself.. maybe once I have more experience then i will know at what focal length i will usually shoot at.. then i can move to prime. Did they announce Tamron gonna port their 11-20 over? I used that lens on Sony body like 15 years ago... and is amazing how constant f2.8 lens can be so small compare to current fuji xf8-16f2.8 in term of size.

Thank you, Bro.

Edit : I just bought the Godox V860ii and X2T TTL combination. Should be ok, right?
(I chose the V860 because of the battery)

Wow... Godox really save the day, I remember such stuff was so expensive during my time with Nikon. Hope it will work well.

XH1 also good if you don't mind the size (which is the major put off for me). The tamron first made 18-300 for Fuji X mount and they recently announced porting the tamron 17-70 f2.8 over to X mount, so I guess the 11-20mm f2.8 is very likely to come end of the year if not sooner.

You've used that 15 years ago ? Are you sure bro? If my memory served me right, the only company that made a lens within that range was Tokina, the 11-16mm f2.8. It has multiple version now, yet the earliest version was released in 2013. But I could be wrong, perhaps you can share the link or photo of this tamron lens you've used 15 years ago.

yeah, at some point I am regretting for not taking the X-T3 too, the price is just to add few hundred ringgits from what I paid for X-T30II. Since this purchase is for my own leisure taking random shots here, the feeling of regret just faded away in time

Vignetting can be so pleasing in the eyes for some, many lenses that I used before have this vignetting at the 4 corners but it was so mild. For this on 23mm, the vignetting obviously darken at the corners especially on wide aperture between 1.4 to 2.0, if I want to reduce it need to go down to 4 or more. Not a good for taking other than portraits or on open bright area.

ok, fair enough. My advise to you, never hold an XT3 again, then u will never know what you're missing and you'll never regret.

Yeah, the vignetting is too much. I bought this lens to shoot at f1.4. For a wide angle lens, the background blur is harder to achieve, so every stops counts. If I want to shoot at f4, I can just use the trusty old 18-55. Good thing is that I haven't had much chances to shoot environmental portrait (genre for the 23mm) yet but mostly studio style portrait (which the 35 and 56 shine in this regards). If I did, I may already been annoyed enough by the viltrox 23 and sold it already.

X-H2, XF 150-600mm, XF 18-120mm PZ

xf18-120, frankly I am drooling for this, constant aperture f4 for 120mm will be much nicer in image compression. The price shall be usd899 but I am guessing the actual price after reaching our shore will be higher than that, am still want to use my kidney so I can forget about that.
My wishlist to get another lens should be 16-80 OR 70-300, lets see next year if the price will be much cheaper than this year.

Omg... Received the Godox V860 today and it is so huge/thick compare to my X-T3 !!!

The Godox wireless transmitter (X2T) is not here yet, so play with the cable first.

Nice. the V860II is the best bang for your buck. I regret from time to time that I should had gone for the V860II instead of the TT685. If you're using it for off camera flash, the size of V860 is small. If you want it for ON camera flash, I would have recommended tt350/V350, but the power output really. . By the way, I have the TT350F, TT685F and Ad200. If I can find another Ad200 used, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Thanks, Bro. But I just checked AD200 .... wow that is huge and too professional (expensive) to me.
Photography is a hobby for me and unable to spend too much on it.

If you think Ad200 is huge, you should've see the Ad400 and Ad600. But yeah, I do notice that for most people, the V860/tt685 series flash are more than enough for their casual shooting with flash. But in the future, if you do venture more into the studio style portrait, you will find that, playing with flashes is much more fun than adding new lenses or camera bodies.

Any of you guys upgrading to the X-H2?

Hey guys, currently using the X-S10 and moving towards videography by mounting it on weebill-S for super stable footage. Loving the setup though now it became bulky.

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd hand to shoot still photography so that i would not need to change mode or mount the X-S10 off from the gimbal. Which model will fit the bill? preferably still having more or less the same picture quality and wifi functionality. Image stabilization will not be a priority.

which bill you're talking about? If you don't provide your budget, it's hard to suggest. To be honest, for still only, I strongly suggest the X-T2. If you want the size to be around the same as your X-S10, then get the X-T20.

as cheap as possible of course.. I'm looking at x-t100 currently but not really sure I'll lose out anything when compared to xs10

Trust me on this, if you go for XT100, you will regret it. Get the XT10 if you really tight with budget.

not really tight on budget just do not want to spend too much on secondary.. any reason why the xt100 isn't good? yah if it's too far off xs10 performance im not keen in getting it too..

next on my mind is the XE3 love the design of xe series.

Xt100 AF is really bad. The XE3 has the same sensor and processor as the XT2 and the XT20. It would be a much better option compare to the XT100. Also, I think the XT100 series are ugly, which is very subjective.
