Congratz rclxms.gif For landscape, I think you will love it. I am happy you can get it for RM928. Though I paid RM1339, but I'd have missed so many nice milkway shots if I wait till now....so, no regret. sweat.gif Look forward to your spam. thumbup.gif

I think it's fine to shoot landscape with MF lens. Especially you won't be shooting wide open also.

Yes, it is not that bad but if to compare with Canon 55-250mm which is also another cheapo lens, I think our Fuji loses since I have used both before. laugh.gif

but sp-2 still over exposure, this one i -10 brightness,
if using intelligent filter inside the app, will get more contrast but totally over exposure(cannot adjust brightness when using filter).

But compared to SP-1, it is a lot better. It will be great if they allow us to adjust the brightness in the app itself.

so does that mean the only reason ppl go for 35mm prime lens is due to better quality of pics? but in terms of AOV is the same even with 18-55mm lens?

was trying to understand if already have 18-55mm lens already, then is there a need to go for 35mm lens

i'm not good in english... in layman terms... less glass in the lens more sharper picture u get.

with prime lens, u can have constant large aperture.

23mm F2 come with a cheaper price tag. USD 450 = rm 1811.63

surely people will flock with this newer model compared to 1.4 brother.

I don't think so, when u zoom in both photo, you may found different sharpness, bokeh and image quality.
Convenience = Zoom
Quality = Prime

Got, move to Australia only buy the Fuji lens there. Australia last time someone said their cashback after submit took less than 2 weeks to bank in thumbsup.gif

Joke aside, once pass 30 WORKING DAYS call Fujifilm Malaysia and ask about your cashback. Since they promised within 30 working days, it's your right to chase for it.

I am thinking to shoot wide open too for some of the subjects, I hope it won't disappoint me but for the price I'm paying, worth for it. biggrin.gif
*
Even wide opened is easy to shoot because everything is in focus especially landscape for such a wide lens. Unless you decide to do portrait inclusive of the landscape as the background, then you might want to stop down the aperture to get both your subject and background in focus.As regards, MF, I have to be honest, it needs a bit of getting used to. Even though everything is in focus, but when I press the shuttle release half way, I still expect to hear the beep sound for focus confirmation. When it doesnt, then I will realise it is my sweet little MF 12mm. sweat.gif

if using intelligent filter inside the app, will get more contrast but totally over exposure(cannot adjust brightness when using filter).

You -10 with the custom filter feature in the app? I also tried to -10 just now but contrast a bit too high. hmm.gif Nevertheless it's still a good improvement compared to SP-1.

Fill in pre-order form first. Most importantly choose a dealer first 😉. You can still decide to cancel if you want to.

i ask the sales manager...the reason is slow due to the procedure... they need to verify the seller especially online seller,there are too many seller out there and verify also whether the serial is msia or not..... then it need to go through 2 layer of approval of management...then they release the payment ..

i meet up with the fuji sales manager during xt2 launching and i help you guys ask ..why a bit slow, he told me about the procedure and they are busy these few months for the preparation of xt2 as well.... so he is sorry about it and will try to clear the backlog...

this few months fuji sales is quite good and somehow the backlog creeping up....so that is why is slow

hello! does anybody know how to get the "Base" setting back?

I keep rotating my back command wheel but it keeps shuffling between C1 - C7 only.

I remember the first time I enter into the Q menu, i see "BASE".

Read the manual few times still catch no ball. It says Base: No custom settings bank selected. Can I deselect any custom setting? unsure.gif blush.gif

Try reset. Press menu - > setting 1 - > reset - > shooting menu reset - > ok

See if it will appear or not

Yes. If I reset shooting menu then will become base again. Once I change to C1 - C7 then no more base.

They do have a PWP for SP-2 I think that's what's going to push the sales in Singapore. Just curious what's the street price they have. Heard they have some trade-in promo going on there.

Nope. Gonna stick with my XT1 for a little bit longer.

I cannot deny its convenience but these days I'm more into prime lenses and force myself to just use the focal length that I have. biggrin.gif

Pay attention to Fujifilm Malaysia's website. They will update details on when they will have a Fuji Learning Centre and you can sign up for it. Can learn more about your camera. At the same time, if anyone is interested to learn from Mr. Arase Sugawara, he is actually conducting a course once this month and another in November.

Talk about this also geram. Promised to send me the gift last week, nothing until yesterday. I was busy earlier so forgot about it. Dropped them an email, they gave me an unacceptable reason but I kept my temper. The lady apologized that they couldn't send out my stuff even it is ready stock because they run out of Poslaju consignment slip. doh.gif doh.gif I was like WTF. doh.gif
Anyway, I still asked them to inform me when it is delivered. Then, magically in the afternoon told me, they have consignment slip already and provided me the tracking no. but I think will only send out today and reach me tomorrow.

Sorry long winded a bit but must vent out my frustration. laugh.gif

Short answer to your question, still no idea yet. laugh.gif

Sorry long winded a bit but must vent out my frustration. laugh.gif

Short answer to your question, still no idea yet. laugh.gif

I just have to vent this out. My 12mm is supposed to reach me between 7-9th September and the tracking no. I received is still untraceable. I called Lazada yesterday and the girl said I will receive a response within 24H which I didn't. I called again today and insisted an explanation.

Guess what, they just went and cancelled my order. doh.gif Followed by an email saying out of stock and will arrange for refund. mad.gif I was indeed angry because I placed order on 22.8 and if no stock, I should be informed by then and not now after I followed up!

To make things worse is they did give me a tracking no. earlier, what's that then?

They messed with the wrong person. I'm a kaki komplen, complained to KPDNKK and BNM for countless times, I will just add one more complaint then.

Well Lazada has this issue. I can understand your frustration. Then again, do you get to keep your cash back if the money was refunded? 😝

My cash back will be in only by end of the month, so I don't think I will get anything for refund.

Is the FF argument still valid? Do you really need full frame? Is the difference really that big?

If you're switching from a DSLR, I believe the first thing you would understand the most is what lens you will need or want to have in your bag. When that happens, shifting from a DSLR to a mirrorless is easier. You can compare the costs of different brands lens, weight and size and from there and decide which you prefer more.

Lazada is pretty reliable for me actually. To be fair la. All my purchases were satisfactory and some were far good. Made countless of orders through out the year and this time it's the worst.

I will agree on 1, 3 and probably 4. tongue.gif

different people have different liking of camera..is what you look for in a camera....

for me:
1. color - more vibrance, I was attracted by Fuji color
1. learning curve - if u from film , camera like XT1 handling is very easy...with the manual control and aperture ring, is easier to adopt and learn
2. easy - menu not as complex as menu in Sony
3. apsc vs ff - negligible ..quote from zack arias
4. lens quality - good lens,sharp till ur eye "bleed" ,cheaper and smaller
5. Sony camera price drop too fast, no value
6. customer service is good....but speed a bit slow

i feel using fuji more fun to use and the camera looks more classic...
Sony throw too many high tech stuff there ...it makes shooting too simple which i feel the learning curve is not there.....
Fuji maybe slow in AF but sometimes slow, makes you see the framing and picture more clear, better composition
lose in DOF is ok as long the camera overall lighter smaller....
we all mostly post up Facebook which the picture already compressed so FF or big mega pixel doesn't work
compare sony G Master lens and Fuji equivalent lens ...so big and it make the camera and lens imbalance

sorry a bit long here...this is all in my opinion and my point of view..is no offence to Sony user and other brands

Fuji lens is good.....but I won't call it cheap per se. Equivalent lens, I tend to find Fuji like RM200+ more. Correct me if I'm wrong of course.

Slow AF makes better framing? Lol. No offense, but I heard that excuse way too many times whenever someone compare their slow af camera with faster ones.

APSC vs FF, I won't call it negligible. There is a difference when comparing low light shots between apsc and FF. Zack arias merely said the ones behind the camera determine the quality of photos. However, good for Fuji for sticking to one sensor size.....oh wait, they are revealing 50Mps, medium format this month, crap.

Really, you bought Fuji for Facebook only?

Of course there will be a difference in lens size cause G master is made for FF. It's the same for any FF lenses. If you look at sony's apsc lens lineup, they are more or less the same size as Fuji's lenses.

I think ppl like Fuji will like Fuji, just like you who like Sony will think Sony is better.
DOF shallow doesn't mean it is good, low light performance not really that notifiable unless you are those that shoot everything at iso 12800 and above.
One thing Sony is not really performing good enough compare to all the other brands in the market is their manual just way too complicated, and the white balance and color not accurate making their JPEG not that nice and require you to shoot in RAW, whereas brands like Fuji out of CA!era JPEG are so nice that you can shoot JPEG and not waste time o edit it in light room.
No camera is better than the other but the camera man is the person that can deliver wonders, crappy hand phone shots can sometimes deliver wow picture that some can't even achieve with a MF or FF camera.

few reasons why i like Fujifilm is because of the after sales support. They continuously update the firmware for older models to have better feature and auto-focus. While competitors just release new model, completely ignoring the older models.

another reason is their solid JPEG picture colours and quality. Not many brands can render that quality of JPEG.

Then it would be their buttons and dials, gives full manual control for the higher end models and feels in grip for my hand.

and another would the their lenses. It's expensive, but it's solid and can last many years (I am using prime lenses, btw).

i agree not every lens is cheap ...cant per say compare apple to apple on pricing but for example 70-200 across all camera own brand(non 3rd party), you can understand what i meant...fuji slightly cheaper.... but yes some other lens more expensive...

haha, yah, AF thing is very subjective....no offences ...is depend on individual... for me, taking things slow is better than fast..i am still learning and if too fast, i feel i using phone take(my personal feeling)

medium format is totally a different area bro....if seriously wan to go into size category, there are more option to go into...
apsc and ff difference have been debated over and over again....the lowlight and the dof so no need to have the mention here..just go to any photography forum or any blog..u can see tons and tons of this debate..i just quote from Zack Arias only

I am not a professional photographer, just someone like to shoot nice pics which define my idea/point of view and share, handphone can do the same(yes i know but I have my own preferences)
Facebook have been my main media platform....90% pics are uploaded on Facebook....so is there any issue using Facebook as a platform to share pics? is depend on individual preferences..there are a lot of social media platform or maybe u have a website of ur own...all depend on the choices that we want to do...

all camera have pro and cons....
i just mention my opinion and my preferences..i not bashing Sony or any Brand....i even recommended my friends use Sony apsc and FF, or Nikon FF and skip Fuji.... depending on individual preferences,requirement and handling.....
Fuji have a lot of Cons....i can give u a list if u wan....

someone just ask why not Sony FF in this Fuji thread ..so I just mention my opinion and I also quote that is my opinion and no offences to Sony users or other brands

I think ppl like Fuji will like Fuji, just like you who like Sony will think Sony is better.
DOF shallow doesn't mean it is good, low light performance not really that notifiable unless you are those that shoot everything at iso 12800 and above.
One thing Sony is not really performing good enough compare to all the other brands in the market is their manual just way too complicated, and the white balance and color not accurate making their JPEG not that nice and require you to shoot in RAW, whereas brands like Fuji out of CA!era JPEG are so nice that you can shoot JPEG and not waste time o edit it in light room.
No camera is better than the other but the camera man is the person that can deliver wonders, crappy hand phone shots can sometimes deliver wow picture that some can't even achieve with a MF or FF camera.

I knew someone will misunderstand my statement. Im not saying Fuji is bad in anyway and im not sony fanboy. Just correcting some misconception. Read again carefully.

Btw Fuji color is nice no argument. But not to say it is accurate. The jpeg purposefully tweaked to add slight pink to skin tone thats why it looks nicer than other camera. Canon for example always add slight warmth.

Read again and for last time im no sony fan. I dont even want sony to go FF route. Fuji is beautiful and i applaud their decision to stick with apsc. Just that when you make sensor size comparison, dont say its the same lah.

For this, I agreed with DaddyO, as regards the sensor size, quick and simple, they are not the same, though in some area the difference are negligible.. I've seen the Zack Arias video on youtube which he talked about sensor as well. I think the area where FF vs apsc is neglegible is term of sharpness. I've done a simple test myself, comparing my 24mp apsc(sony a6000) shot against my friend's FF 24mp(Sony A7) shot of the exact same scene with the same settings. The sharpness different can only be seen after I enlarged both photos to 100% on capture one express. As regards low light performance, it can be quite significant. I remember watching a video on youtube comparing Sony a6000 vs Canon 5d mark III video performance with different iso settings. While I love my sony a6000, I have to admit that the noise level is atleast 1 to 2 stop better on canon 5d mark iii,( a 2 years older tech camera compared to my 6K).

Just like many of you here, I like the vintage look of fujis, absolutely love the manual dial and the best kit lens 18-55 f2.8-4 any company has to offer. thumbup.gif And the fantastic OOC jpeg quality.

Not sure what Zack means by "negligible" but I have a feeling he is talking about something else like people determine photo quality, not camera (though that, IMO, is only partially true). Paired it with good lens, of course most people can't tell the difference between m43, apsc or FF. But paired it with "same" lens, you can tell which sensor is which. In this case, Fuji and m43 have a lot of good apsc and m43 lens cause they can focus on one sensors vs Nikon, Canon and Sony which have identity crisis of just primarily focusing on FF lenses and neglecting APSC segment.

And no, there's really no point comparing sharpness between two different sensor size. I can even say Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41-megapixel can outperform sony's 24mps in terms of detail in good light. Megapixel is simply just that. Higher MPS simply means higher detail but you also have to take account of MPS/sensor area.

However each sensor size plays to its own benefit. APSC with it's narrower view can get you that ever so sharper close-up shot of wildlife than FF at the same distance using same lens. FF can give you wider shot, narrower dof and better low light. m43 even down to smartphone sensor size allow very wide dof, making everything in focus while maintaining smaller f-stops. Try doing that with FF is really hard unless you use tripod and take static shots. Of course. all that can change when paired up with different lenses. M43 for example can go FF with speedbooster, but downside is you lose the autofocus reliability and extra glass can degrade the img a little.

Hi guys, been a fuji user starting from May this year with the x100t biggrin.gif , love the noise performance and the colours. Bought it as a companion for my Sony A7ii camera and as a travel camera and later switching fully to fuji with xpro 2 icon_rolleyes.gif . Back to the question that someone ask here, why fuji and not sony, if u hav handle sony camera before u will know that it is slow to startup from Off to On state. My x100t takes 2-3sec but the a7ii took 3-5 second to get ready sweat.gif and sometime longer (Xpro2 from 1-3sec) . For some it is bearable but for me it dampens my eagerness to take picture.

To me the sony camera has very loud shutter sound and it bothers me when taking pic in quiet environment, the fuji xpro 2 has lower shutter noise and dont need to talk about x100t its an angel in the shutter sound department rclxms.gif . If u compare the a7 series and the a6000 shutter its almost the same, its loud.

I was a canon user, canon 50d to be precise. Was using it for 5 years with 50mm 1.8 taking event photos. It show its age when in the 5th year, I know I need a new camera when I went to Japan and it cant focus on the subject anymore laugh.gif . I was choosing between Sony, Olympus and Fuji camera. This time I need to hav video functionality so I opted between Sony and Olympus as fuji at the time wasnt known for their video capabiliities. The sony wins with the 5 axis stabilization and having the headphone jack without the need of extra battery grip attached (Oly EM5ii). The video department is a bliss but then I realize the shooting experience is something left to be desire. The menu is hard to navigate and been using it for a year and still couldnt remember where the setting for certain thing sweat.gif . Couple with startup time and shutter sound, new system was on the mind tongue.gif .

When talk about FF and aps-c, I found that FF recovers over expose highlight area better but the main reason I wouldnt mind aps-c over FF is the noise performance. When comparing sony a7 and fuji x100t noise, it is almost the same at ISO6400. Then it clicked to me that the reason I want to go for FF is the noise performance. If the noise is comparable why would I ignored the aps-c system (Mind u that I dont use ISO more than 6400). Yes I know the sony a7rii has better noise performance, but the price left something to be desired and the it doesnt even improve in the card write speed and startup time rclxub.gif. One last thing is the lenses price I didnt consider after switch to sony, its unbearble with our currency not improving and GST some more laugh.gif

Note:
- Fuji film simulation is a nice addition compared to other manufacturer filters.
- I tend to edit pic less with sony than fuji becaude sony measure the exposure correctly most of the time,
Fuji tends to overexpose or underexpose but the in-camera raw editor is saviour for this situation thumbup.gif The xpro2 improved in this department compared with x100t

Hi! New Fuji user here. Just got myself a X-T10 with 18-55mm f2.8-4. Im sold off my Olympus OMD system to get this. Any tips on optimal camera setting i should know of? Im still learning how to use the interface and menus. Coming from OMD i definitely notice the speed difference...omd being faster.

Hi welcome here!

Just to add the Fujifilm retro-like allows user to tweak the settings before turning on the camera, not sure if Sony allows this.

and don't take the fujifilm film simulation lightly, it's really addicting and hell, I bet you won't be editting your photos a lot after using it. smile.gif

Hi, welcome here! There are no optimal settings on the Fuji other than turning every dial you can find to "A".

Make use of the "Q" button, set your custom profiles for situations that you can think of (day light & night time). For me I'm a lazy guy, I use aperture priority only. ISO set to Auto from ISO200 - ISO 3200 with the min shutter speed of 1/60.

Does anybody have any idea whether the camera stores in Malaysia already have ready stocks for the X-T2 and the EF-X500? Preferably Fotokem or any store with 2 years installment plan for Maybank CC.

Both can be ordered from Shashinki (as well as the new boost grip) as I checked just now.

I got my rebate for 35mm f2 already from Fujifilm. They deposited the cheque into my account and emailed me the receipt. I think it took about 5-6 weeks for me, can't really remember but it was quite LONG.

Maybe you should call them?

Hey guys, thought it's be useful to share here about this CHEAP variable ND filter that I just bought and tried. Recommended for beginners (like me) to extend your creativity, also to explore and play around with VND before going for the high-end ones thumbup.gif

I bought it for RM70 from here for my 56mm: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2770214

SOOC JPEG (provia):
- shutter speed 1/2000 (sun was very bright!)
- wide open, f1.2
- ISO 200

You can actually use Electronic Shutter mode and shoot at wide open. It can shoot up to 1/32000s.
Can try using your ND filter and create motion blur effect.

Funny thing is my 16mm bought in July, but 35mm bought in August and yet 35mm being process first. Seems like I need to wait another 2 weeks ++ sad.gif  will try call again next week to chase her (ahem.. them)...

You can actually use Electronic Shutter mode and shoot at wide open. It can shoot up to 1/32000s.
Can try using your ND filter and create motion blur effect.

Unfortunately budget shooters like me who's using X-M1 don't have the electronic shutter feature sad.gif cry.gif sad.gif cry.gif sad.gif

Good shot. But have to becareful with spot metering when shooting with overexposed background cause it is hard to bring the detail back post process.

Hi guys, I just found two videos showing off-cam HSS for Fuji X-T1 (hopefully will work for X-T2 too). Any of you guys know where can get the Cactus V6 II trigger? Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this would be a cheaper option than the upcoming EF-X500?

Well, either that or the HDR is a little strong. The mountain top on the left got dark clipping and halo to it. Basically either fix the top part or dial it (whatever adjustment you did) down a little. Otherwise the composition is good and beautiful scene.

Just kidding on my above post. Can consider think thank mover or crumpler. Depends on what is comfortable la actually don't need to be camera bags. Most important is it doesn't contain keys or other things that can scratch your baby..

Actually u need proper camera bag. Certain camera bag may contain linen or worse "painted" bag that strips off aftrr few years. If not careful those tiny particles will enter lens and hassle to clean. Of course there customised solution like having loose bag and using lens pouch as compartment......why not just buy a proper one instead?

Not everyone can afford a proper camera bag brand. But as you said it gives you a peace of mind to purchase one with proper paddings. In the end it depends on the built quality of the bag that people choose to use.

There is the free bag that comes with camera promotion, lol. And you can get one with rm99 if you dont mind used or older model.

I said "proper" camera bag, Not branded bag, mind you.

Samsung camera bag for example which is pretty big only cost rm45 in lazada. Dont know if the bag still there so check it out.

buy based on space u need (compartment for camera, lens, mem card/charger/battery etc). like others said invest a good camera bag. below RM500 good enough for long term from my experience. for my daily I only bring normal bag pack + camera inserts.

IMHO, I will suggest you to go for a better body if you have the budget, like xt1, xt10 or xe2. XA and XM is PASM mode while the 3 I mentioned is shutter speed dial, personally I prefer XT series control. And one more shortcoming of XA and XM series is no EVF, under strong sunlight will be a pain. And more shortcomings is no level, cannot remote control, less Fn button, no classic chrome (strong poison biggrin.gif).

Back to your question, if you don't mind no evf, no touch screen, it is a high cp value camera. Used xm1 around rm600 can shoot photo much better than phone quality, of coz when match with prime lens. I didn't own A2, so cannot comment comparison between A2 and M1. But the only difference should be the sensor, otherwise all same. Again, go to a better body like xt10 which has evf and tilt screen will never fail you. Or higher price xt1 for the bigger evf, better screen, and weather seal. And lastly, XA3 is much better than XM1 for beginner.

Most standard camera bag (sling type), the ones with camera brand in front, that comes free is actually pretty robust and good enough. Some even outlast the expensive ones, lol. If you switch mostly for style or stealth or extra perks you think you need.

Examplr DNA temba bag for quick access to camera via zip above.

Hi guys, I would need some of your advice on whether when will the viewfinder/screen of x-t1 show the actual picture condition as and when we changed the camera settings. i.e. ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc.

From what I noticed, only when i changed the aperture settings, the camera will show image updates. Or is it only in A mode can be seen, and not the rest of the other modes.

by default it is WYSISYG unless u turn off "Preview exposure in manual mode"

if you put ISO as auto or Shuttle as auto, it will try to adjust iso/shuttle to the exposure you set until it can't achieve the limit of setting that you pre configure

try test manual iso and manual shuttle to see the difference..

I had a Lowepro Fastpack 250 for my Nikon D90 with multiple lenses, etc. Even after I downgraded to X-T1 with one lens, still use the same bag, but was a pain using it as a carry-on during flights.

Now with my X70, I use a Lowepro Viewpoint CS60, dump into my 5.11 Rush 12 for flights. When jalan-jalan, I carry it with my Peak Design Field Pouch. Never been happier with my setup, cut down my gear and still able to take great photos.

I had a Lowepro Fastpack 250 for my Nikon D90 with multiple lenses, etc. Even after I downgraded to X-T1 with one lens, still use the same bag, but was a pain using it as a carry-on during flights.

Now with my X70, I use a Lowepro Viewpoint CS60, dump into my 5.11 Rush 12 for flights. When jalan-jalan, I carry it with my Peak Design Field Pouch. Never been happier with my setup, cut down my gear and still able to take great photos.

I have the Fastpack 350 and which is unused now. doh.gif I know how it feels. laugh.gif I was using it with my 5D + few heavy L lenses.
I will check out your bags. laugh.gif Checked. I don't think the Peak Design Field Pouch fits my X-T1 with some lenses. laugh.gif
I will stick to my Lowepro Passport Sling then. biggrin.gif

Oh well. To each his own. I personally dont like blown highlight as background unless can minimise it cause it can be more distracting than moderately busy background especially if the higlight clips the subject outline. It also tend to make subject darker in comparison.

Peak Design has the Everyday Messenger, and they are Kickstarting their Everyday Backpack, which are quite pricey but they seem to have great quality bags to cater photography gear.

That's a nice looking bag. Where did you buy that? Price? Might get that as well. cool2.gif

I love these "clam styled opening" for the main compartment. My Rush 12 saved me some time one in Bucharest at the security check point, got stopped for carrying too many electronics (2 GDrive HDD, X70, Macbook, etc) and I just open the main compartment and everything was clearly displayed for the security officer.

Actually I kind of like Fujifilm approach to the photo industry. The FF mirrorless is dominated by Sony and can be considered red ocean now, especially given the spectacular lens lineup.

The Medium Format on the other hand, lacks mirrorless. Nice one, Fuji.

Hi guys..  which shoulder bag do you all use for carrying your Fuji cam? smile.gif

Just want to share my experience. At first I was looking for dedicated camera bag but couldn't find one that I like. Either the compartment design was not suitable or the design not to my taste or too expensive for my budget. In the end, I bought a padded camera insert from taobao. They come in difference sizes with different compartments. So now I just chuck the insert into my existing backpacks/sling bags and it becomes a camera bag. For me, it's more versatile because I get to use different bags and when I don't need to bring my camera, I can take out the insert and it becomes a normal bag again. Also, it is less conspicuous since my bag wont "shout-out" like a camera bag that might be targeted by thieves/muggers. Finally, can save money too because camera bags are usually very expensive. blush.gif

I have 18, 23, 27 and 35 f2. All I love except xf27 (less love), its compactness and sharpness cant persuade me to bring it out coz lack of aperture ring... also the focus ring is too small, so most of the time it sleep in drybox.

ya, the lack of aperture ring is definitely noticeable. in the beginning, i sometimes accidentally bump the rear command dial and did not take note of the aperture changel. doh.gif but I'm getting used to taking note of this problem and always checking the aperture before i take the picture.

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..

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.

Finally upgraded from X-M1 and got my X-T2 from forumer kelvinling's store in Amcorp Mall last Friday.
Feels like transitioned from Perodua Kancil to Honda Accord

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.

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.

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 thumbsup.gif

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.

No longer a fan of RAW as I don't have so much time to edit and convert. tongue.gif Fuji's JPEG is really good. laugh.gif
Anyway, though these were taken with CC, I still think they are not too bad with CC. laugh.gif After that changed to Velvia. tongue.gif

Try considering the Sirui t-025X with c-10x ballhead. Or you could also consider the fotopro tripod (I think the model is S4-CN). Both are rather light and 300g lighter than the manfrotto you linked.

Figured, so you can go for my latter option previously which is to user film simulations bracketing. I mainly set it to Provia, C. Chrome and Acros red filter, so everytime I switch the drive mode to bracketing, I get 3 JPEGs with different tones/colors for each press of the shutter. Saves a lot of time and no more frustration accidentally change film simulation!!! thumbsup.gif

How is it? You like it? brows.gif

To be honest, while I've this lens for several months now, but only recently I realized it full potential. I got it initially for shooting milkway, so never really shoot much outside of that realm until recently. Few nights ago, out of the blue, I felt like shooting my miniature Mr.Bean bear with wide open F stop. Once the shot was taken, I zoomed into his eye on the camera screen. It was sharp even I had zoomed in max. icon_idea.gif

I wish I can travel more like you do, so can put this lens to good use. sweat.gif

Same here. The first MF lens I had was my father's Yashica 35-70mm ML lens. My whole family was very surprised my father's 1986 purchase (sitting now in the closet waiting for it to rot) can still function on my camera with an dumb adapter (thanks for mirrorless design). rclxms.gif

Going back to the sammy, do you think it's heavy for it's size? Whenever I held it up or attached it to my camera, I can't helped but feeling that....or is it just me? And focus ring quite stiff.... dry.gif

This is my 1st camera,
I am split between E2s T10 and A3
Any opinions for beginners?

What's your budget actually. Malaysia does not bring in THE e2s and A3 not launched yet. So, technically there's no way for us to identify if both these models fits your budget 😂

I quite agree with what @Like a Bause has said. And I don't think the X-E2S will be coming in. It's been so long.

You could consider a used X-T1 or perhaps a X-T10

I'm voting for T10 if you want the cam A.S.A.P. The A3 slightly better in terms of resolution and for vlog/selfie but won't come anytime soon according to www.fujirumors.com

There isn't much different between xe2 and xe2s.
So getting xt10 is much better choice.

I am using kit lens for now

If you are looking for brand new X-T10, it is selling for RM3,8xx for body + 1855 lens in garage sales.

RM6k should be X-T1.

woonsc If you can save up a bit more, I'd suggest you to get the XT10 with the 18-55mm f2.8-4 kit lens. Best kit lens out there. nod.gif

Fuji in German already starts giving €300 cashback for Fujifilm X-T1. You can wait for Fuji Malaysia to announce the same (or maybe won't? IDK)

If the offer do come, you can try to nego with ppl selling used X-T1 to lower their price

or just get the X-T10 I guess laugh.gif

If you want, I have an old manual focus lens to let go, its a Fujinon 55mm f2.2, M42 mount (together with M42-to-Xmount adapter). I used this lens as my "stepping stone" into the portrait lens world (paired with Fujifilm's Focus Peaking feature). Bought this for RM300 on January 2015.

I bought before GST kicked in. Around RM 500 only. biggrin.gif It loses to Canon 55-250mm though. That's my personal experience. I also had the 55-250mm before switching to 70-200mm L when I was in Canon camp. biggrin.gif

If XT-2 came with fully articulated touchscreen, I'd be very tempted to switch. But at the moment, quite heavily invested in E mount. So, I can only hope and dream Sony will released a6300 successor with that. If XT-3 comes with a touchscreen, I might consider the jump icon_idea.gif

By the way, seems like you don't use telephoto much. If that is the case, I think your collection should be quite complete.....or perhaps a fisheye....but then again, not available in X mount.... shakehead.gif

Come2 join Fuji side, I already sold my Sony equipment tongue.gif. Almost bought a6300 to complement my a7ii but decided to go for fuji x100t before I went for europe trip. I challenge myself to bring x100t only and wasn't disappointed. Since then I was hooked towards Fuji side whistling.gif

Come2 join Fuji side, I already sold my Sony equipment  tongue.gif. Almost bought a6300 to complement my a7ii but decided to go for fuji x100t before I went for europe trip. I challenge myself to bring x100t only and wasn't disappointed. Since then I was hooked towards Fuji side  whistling.gif 
You wont be disappointed with the 56mm  thumbup.gif
I'm fully committed towards prime lens. I didnt even used my kit zooms on my Sony a7ii last time, felt wasted buying along it  sweat.gif

Agreed on 56mm. Tho its AF sometimes hunt (slightly better on X-T2), but you can always switch to MF worst case scenario which is not that often at least for me. The f1.2 wide open produces beautiful bokeh and really helpful at lowlight places! thumbup.gif

F1.2 is the one I feel attracted. My current biggest aperture is only F1.4 which is so delicious with the bokeh. drool.gif

I don't use one but planning to get the Nissin i40 for it's size and feature that suits me best. I heard it's quite good and has the high speed sync (but no TTL)

Save up and get 56mm for the lovely bokeh + high IQ

35mm f2 is fast and IQ is good, but bokeh not as creamy (obviously) as 56's

Yeah, it's a bummer not to have the TTL on fuji version...I wondered why....else it's a great little flash (very powderful for the size) thumbup.gif And I'm loving it...

Wondering if anyone got the i60A if it has TTL function for fujis...

depend on ur shooting style.....
80% portrait i shoot using 56mm... for street, 35mm

56mm a bit need to have some patient and also steady hand when wide open especially and low light but other than that, beautiful lens

IKR? there were rumor saying Fuji is making 33mm F1.0 as I read from www.fujirumors.com previously but I guess the rumor's dead along with the launch of 35mm f2. If that kind of aperture were introduced in the prime lineup, it's a must buy

sorry, I meant to say the hss on i40 not supporting ttl, i40 only supports ttl on normal sync speeds. I heard i60 supports ttl both on normal sync speed and hss

That is true until you need that longer reach, fuji currently have no prime longer than 90mm. I'm eyeing 90mm f2, that extra compressions should make a nice potrait nod.gif

Step the aperture down to f2 and the AF improve, it hunt more at f1.2 although that seems the case for xpro-2, on xt-2 it improve the AF, waiting for xpro-2 firmware update rclxm9.gif

if u already had wider lens, go for 56mm, u wont be dissapoint. I used 23mm for street shooting. When I use 35, it bothers me that it wasnt that wide or narrow, better have 23mm and 56mm as a pair. Thats my opinion biggrin.gif

I personally use X100 for 23mm focal, paired the 35mm f2 with my X-M1 (it's fast even on that body) and paired 56mm on my X-T2. I just grab one of those cameras/pairs depending on the place/situation I'm going to shoot.

I have my XC 16-55 kit lens in case I need wider shot, but most of the time it sits in my bag.

The only time I bring 2 camera is when I take photos for event, I try to limit bringing to many gear, because not all is needed, I would aim for 14mm/12mm + 23mm + 56mm or 16mm + 35mm + 90mm setup. If I wanted to challenge myself, just bring the x100t only. smile.gif

Do take note that the small hook provided with the leash for attaching to ur camera is an old version. Buy the new version as the old one tends to break after used extensively doh.gif

Tho i prefer wrist strap, I think PD's Leash is quite practical. You can switch between neck strap and shoulder strap at ease. Price is a bit high but I'm sure it comes with great durability and comfort as most of the reviews state.

Aiyoo, 2011 not so many years ago bah.... blink.gif

But on a serious not, those were really good shots. Back in 2011, I was just starting to get interested in photography....After seeing your photos back many many years ago, I felt so small and even further away from the ultimate fruitimus prime.... notworthy.gif

Don't get me wrong. What I meant was X100S AF wasn't good enough for event. Didn't say you are dumb also. sweat.gif
Even using X-T1 I also miss quite a lot of shots due to AF hunting.

I know, as I said, I was just exaggersting because i thought it was fruitie who said so....I find it quite true with the fuji x100s AF....hunt quite a bit and quite slow. So hard to get sharp focus while hunting for kids running around. rclxub.gif Other than that, the ooc jpeg is superb, especially with the 23mm f2 lens.

Hey Fuji community!

I'm a TOTAL beginner when it comes to cameras, had to get this off my chest sweat.gif
So please bear with me, sifus!

I've been thinking of getting a camera for some time now and after much research I stumbled upon Fuji cameras.It was love at first sight! biggrin.gif The colors & filters (esp classic chrome), the retro look(silver ftw thumbsup.gif ), just beautiful! Okay, enough gushing!

I love traveling, so I want something light(bear in mind that this is coming from an Apple user) and easy to use, yet produces great image quality & bokeh. Saying this, I guess the obvious answer is X100T.....BUT I am worried that I might wanna take a closer shot of .....say, Mt. Fuji? Do the sifus think a fixed lens will be a problem for me in the near future?

So my problem here is.....

XT10(18-55mm lens) or X100T?


Thanks in advance! smile.gif

Well, X-T10 will give you more flexibility as it is an interchangeable lens system. You can use your lens of choice. However, it will not be that light compared to X100T or I can suggest you X70. biggrin.gif You will lose out convenience if you choose a fixed lens system.

I suggested my friend to buy X70 and she loves every bit of it. Brought to Japan, Greece and NZ for her trips during these 6 months, though she cannot get used to fixed lens at the beginning but she told me it's more than enough for travel photography.

I'm an X-T1 user and I'm already grateful that my current arsenal is far lighter than my previous Canon gears. laugh.gif

I agree with fruitie. As for the lens combo, you could also consider the 16-50mm kit or the twin kit lens for the X-T10. As I know, there are several forum users here that uses it. Let's hope more users will share their opinion for the X-T10.

Having said that, my advice to my customers is to ask themselves, do you really need that extra lens? Yes, it does seem to be very practical as you get that extra reach from 50mm onwards. But in actual life, changing lens can be a hassle especially in very dusty conditions and its not advisable to do so as well.

To also answer your question on if it can be used to take a closer look of Mount fuji, my question is actually how close you want it to be. Where are you actually standing to take the photo? Other brands have cameras such as Nikon's P900 with gives you serious zoom capabilities but when you zoom in so much, keep in mind you seriously need a sturdy tripod or just a minor shake will affect the quality. But the trade off for getting the Nikon P900 is the extra bulky size of the camera.

For now, I think the best option for you will be the following for fuji (from lowest price to highest:
1) X-A2 (interchangeable lens)
2) X70 (compact camera)
3) X-T10 with either one of the 3 kit lens option (interchangeable lens)
4) X100T (compact camera)

fruitie// What is the advantage of the X70 over the X100T if you don't mind me asking? Are they not both fixed lens? hmm.gif Ahahahaha! I agree that interchangeable cameras are so much lighter compared to DSLRs, I cannot imagine myself lugging those monstrosities around sweat.gif I tried holding my friend's Canon DSLR once, snap decision right then and there, NO DSLRs for me sweat.gif sweat.gif


kelvinling// But aren't the XF line better performers than the XC? I am planning to stick to one lens if I buy the XT10, which is why I wonder if the 18-55 kit lens will be much diff from the fixed lens of the X100T/X70? I do think it's a hassle to change lens too tbh hmm.gif For Mt Fuji, say how about I want a shot of the entire mountain with lake..so I will be standing across the lake. And my budget is 4k and below thumbsup.gif


woonsc// Ahahahaha! The XT2 is expensive! No budget sad.gif I'm currently using a MacAir and already very satisfied with it! biggrin.gif


kenary820// X100 or X100T? I thought it has in built flash? hmm.gif I have considered a tripod stand for solo travels, but wouldn't it be in the way of others when I set it up?

For 1st question, the x70 is smaller than the x100t due to lack of viewfinder for the x70 but it had swivel screen that can flip up for taking selfie (*Call it whatever u want whistling.gif ) which the x100t had a fixed screen sweat.gif. The x70 have a 18.5mm fixed lens while the x100t have 23mm (28mm & 35mm in term of full frame lens equivalent), it a tad wider that some prefer than the other. What interest me for the x70 is the conversion lens u are able to buy for the x70 which change the lens perspective to 21mm in full frame format drool.gif , which is good for wide angle shot (**The x100t has conversion lens that equivalent to 28mm and 50mm).

2nd question, not sure about the difference between XC and XF lens, but I tried it at the shop and the quality of pic using XC lens is good, nothing to complain about hmm.gif . Lens wise, I can get macro shot as near as 10cm from the subject with x100t, I'm pretty sure the kit lens cant do that tongue.gif (Correct me if I'm wrong biggrin.gif ). I don't know how far is mount fuji and the lake, but the best bet for wide angle shot is the x70 and the conversion lens but that will exceed ur budget I guess(**Need clarification on this, does x70 plus conversion lens goes beyond RM4k)

Yes x100t has flash built in, might not be strong enough, but can try bounce the flash using small mirror if u are indoor to get that external flash look laugh.gif. I bring tripod in the luggage bag for trip but never got it out cause it a hassle to bring big tripod around while u are touring sweat.gif (PS: I do bring my joby gorilapod tripod in my bag cause its smaller that my regular sturdy tripod icon_idea.gif )

Lens wise, I can get macro shot as near as 10cm from the subject with x100t, I'm pretty sure the kit lens cant do that  tongue.gif (Correct me if I'm wrong  biggrin.gif ). I don't know how  far is mount fuji and the lake, but the best bet for wide angle shot is the x70 and the conversion lens but that will exceed ur budget I guess(**Need clarification on this, does x70 plus conversion lens goes beyond RM4k)

Yes x100t has flash built in, might not be strong enough, but can try bounce the flash using small mirror if u are indoor to get that external flash look  laugh.gif. I bring tripod in the luggage bag for trip but never got it out cause it a hassle to bring big tripod around while u are touring  sweat.gif (PS: I do bring my joby gorilapod tripod in my bag cause its smaller that my regular sturdy tripod  icon_idea.gif )

Thanks for all that information! I did some read up on the X70 too and I really liked the aspect of the cropping to 35mm and 50mm implemented! I think I have narrowed it down to X70, it really seems to fit all my needs! But I do have a few more questions... sweat.gif
1. which produces better bokeh?
2. how big is the conversion lens? I think I've read somewhere that the lenses are big and heavy? Which defeats the purpose of the small & portable X70...
3. what about the touchscreen? or would a viewfinder still be better?

Use pocket mirror but as I said the flash is not that powerfull sweat.gif This can be tried if the ceiling is not that high, I did it with my Canon 50D built in flash but its cumbersome laugh.gif .

1. If u talk about x100t and x70 of course the x100t produce more depth of field due to one run at aperture f2.0 vs f2.8

2.Its a bit bigger than fujinon 35mm f2 I think ohmy.gif. Yes it a bit heavy but you wont be taking wide angle shot that often right? So tuck it in ur small bag and u are good to go. thumbup.gif

3. It depends on your usage, sometime the viewfinder is useful if u want to save battery life or if the glare from the sun is to much but if u like to take photo from hip or low angle then the swivel screen is much better thumbsup.gif

To answer your question regarding X70 vs X100T.

The X70 is a small camera and it's quite handy for travels. You can fit it in your pocket and doesn't even take space in your bag. X100T is bigger. Still doesn't take much bag space but you'll have to hang it around your neck.

You'll have a large articulating touchscreen which is perfect for selfies, but what interest me more is the ability to select AF points on the go. Personally, I feel it's quite handy that you don't have to press any button or rotate any dial to select focus points. Advantage against the X100T? Yes, for touchscreen. Negligible for the articulating screen.

Plus, it comes with Classic Chrome, which I love to death when I had the XT-1.

You'll have a wide fixed lens which is perfect for landscape, a tad too wide for street, I guess the X100T would be a better choice for street. For both cameras, it's quite restrictive in terms what you can shoot, but in a good way, it helps train your composition skills. Also, with the fixed lens, you'll most likely avoid having Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), and spend less. There are lens converter but I've never find any need to purchase one.

Regarding the lack of viewfinder, I was worried that this could be a turn down, but it turned out fine transitioning from the XT-1. It didn't bother me to see everything through the screen, by the way it drains your battery. You would need extra batteries or a powerbank to charge on the fly. I have 2 additional Wasabi batteries and a separate charger. I've gone on commercial sets, taking "behind the scenes" photos and videos with the X70 and I ended up using all three batteries. A disadvantage, but still you can workaround it.

Is the X70/X100T, a good beginner camera? I don't see why not. you'll still be able to do everything manually for you shutter speed and aperature. You'll have the ability to do manual focus (FYI on the X70, the focus ring is quite small and could be troublesome sometime, but I rely on the camera's AF). ISO, you'll have to go through the "Q" menu.

Lastly, the X70 is way cheaper than the X100T.

Yes, I do love the aspect of the portability of both the X70 and X100T!( I don't mind strapping on neck) and I ADORE CLASSIC CHROME! smile.gif
But I beg to differ about the articulating screen, I do think the screen would be useful for hip shots.

1. What about bokeh? Since it's f/2.8 vs f/2, do you find the booked on X70 good enough?
2. The X70 has an auto/ manual quick switch button, does the X100T have one? (for my parents/strangers to take shots of me tongue.gif )
3. How long is the battery life? Roughly. ( I don't take videos )

Indeed it is! I've always been a point and shoot kinda person (i6 camera sweat.gif ), but I do like the idea of getting to know photography better ( but not to the extent of hoarding lenses and worrying too much about the tiny details) I usually just post my photos on instagram and recently started a blog smile.gif

No. The battery will not be charged if you turn it on.
