Coming back to serious photography after 8 years hiatus....
Used to be with Canon system for good 10 years....

Bought xt2 with 18-52... I was amazed at the current advancement and the price of photography gear.... During my absent, I bought a used X100 in 2012... coming from 1D series.. boy the X100 is like a turtle.. but love the color and the portability...

Now this little xt2 got me excited... so within 2 weeks...

56mm f1.2, Godox 685, X1T, light modifiers.... godox AD200 arriving soon... the list is growing... damnnn...

Sharp image as always  thumbup.gif I am wondering, what kind of diffusion you're using for your lighting? very soft and even.
XT20 is good enough. If you wanna get a kit lens, I suggest the 1855. It is true that the XC lens such as 16-50 or 1545 can be very good optically, but build quality wise, the 1855 is better. And you get the F2.8 at the widest end.

Agreed. I have my xt20 and 1855 for almost a year now. Bought 56/1.2 later... 1855 on the xt20 90% of the time.

Get a good flash.. My advice is godox v860II or v350... great quality of flash and super cheap.

how's the flare control of your 1855?

tbh i dont really like to use 1855 during low light despite the f2.8
i brought both fuji and canon system to hokkaido last year and all my night shots using the 1855 was pretty meh but my canon/tamron still kick ass despite 10 years of age. 35mm f2 on the other hand is fine.
*
TBH, I'm no longer pixel peeper anymore... used to be with canon system with few L lenses when I was
such a gear head (17-40L, 24-70L, 70-200 2.8L IS, 85L, and some serious sigma lenses 180/2.8 macro,
150/2.8 macro and a few more... )... after over 15 years with those gears... I quit and bought fuji x100
when it was 1st launched....

until recently... I missed the creativity of what dslr can provide... and with nice and smaller fuji mirrorless
offering... I jumped to get the xt20...

so far with my kind of photography nowadays... (which is only shooting my grown up kids and pets...)
I don't really bother about flare and what not... for my kind of needs... I like the simplicity of fuji
system can offer me....

XT2... I bought the xt20 but miss the 1/8000s shutterspeed the XT2 has...
It will be useful when you're shooting outdoor trying to fight the sunlight

Guys... I'm a casual shooter...

Bought this x-t20 2 years ago with kit lens 18-55... I love shooting portrait and bokeh lover... so few months later bought the 56mm 1.2.

Really love the 56 but the focal length really limiting factor.. so now waiting for 23mm 1.4 in the mail.....

So I was thinking... whether to get 16mm or 14mm next... so that I will settle down with 3 prime lens...

Deal at KLDSLR

i shoot portrait only tongue.gif

Hi,

How do you find the 16/1.4 over 16/2.8?

I was thinking to add one more lens to my collection. Currently I have
18-55 kit, 23/1.4, 56/1.2....

So I wish to go all primes with one more wide lens... thinking of 14/2.8 or 16/2.8, 16/1.4 or super wide zoom 10-24...

Appreciate your input... also waiting for Laowa 60/2.8 2x macro...

Anyone has experience in import Fuji?..been thinking abt buying x100v..and the import vs fuji malaysia set can gap for abt RM 700 which is a lot...all of my fuji cameras n lenses have been msia set

worry abt quality (maybe import set refub item or damaged) and difficulty in sending for warranty if faulty...
*
all my lenses (16, 23, 56 are imported).... yes got good prices for them.... I think should be no problem... but have to check carefully since imported
one only got 3 months warranty from shop only....

I'm also thinking to get imported xt4...

that is a good kit lens... I think for small body like xs10... the prime lenses
like 16/2.8, 23/2, 35/f and 50/2.... fit very nicely... I don't have any of
those... but would like to get at least one...

need some opinion.. x-s10 or x-e4 price more less +/- the same in Shopee. currently still holding on x-t1 (yes! this is tank take a lot beating!)
*
It depends... every person is different... for me xe-4 is super sexy with retro look... especially the silver top one... but ergonomic is very very poor if paired
with bigger lenses... beautiful if paired with pancake lenses....

xs10 is practical... (again I have never hold both... my opinion only based on my experience with x100, xt20)
Watching most of the review online... looks like both camera have almost the same spec only presentation is different...

Waiittt.... xs10 has ibis... that will help a lot.. surely will swing my opinion towards xs10 if price about the same tongue.gif

When I first got interested in photography back in 2010~2011, shashinki price was still good. I remember I always used it as a price reference standard. Back then, I used to visit their page a lot eyeing on the dslr lenses that I couldn't afford, but at the back of my mind thinking that one day I will buy something from them. Later, they have jacked up their price a lot till now, So,  till this day I never ever bought anything from them even though their website might be one of the website that served me the most  (by giving me the price info) laugh.gif  According to my friend, shashinki jacked up the price after Dr Koh's wife took over the management, not sure how true was this though...But What really mind boggling to me is that how come they can still survive with that kind of pricing....

Yep.. same with me… i even bought few items from them… before the price hike…

The days when YL camera still under escalator…. 😝😝😝

To me, YLcamera is synonym with expensive, even shashinki prices are cheaper than them in my impression. I really wonder how they can survive with such pricing in such a competitive market.

YL was reasonably priced when Desmond operated alone under escalator in Pudu Mall (forget the mall name)... I ordered
through him Sigma 70-200 f2.8 konica minolta mount... maybe around 2008-2009.... after he move to better place and
operated by youngsters.... then it is different experience already.... it is business I guess...
