These photos were taken at the tulip festival in Mount Vernon,WA.  It was a rainy overcast day and  I'm sure the filtered sun helped.

I was expecting Swedish Meatballs.

As as wildlife lens probably not a good choice for most birds.   I shoot a canon 500mm F4 lens for birds and many times I have a 1.4 TC attached still I wish  I would have purchased the 600mm.   No...

No image.

Nice set of photos.   My wife and I just got back from 3 weeks of traveling in Vietnam. During that time we witnessed 3 scooter accidents, 1 in Hanoi and 2 in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City.   One of...

This photo of the water lily was taken hand held with a polarizer during a recent trip to Vietnam.    Water Lily Ho Chi Minh City Thanks for looking

Nice photos.  It looks like you were in Sapa.  My wife and I are on a 3 week trip in Vietnam and we are now in Hoi An.  The photo opportunities are amazing in all parts of Vietnam. Thanks for...

I had the same problem you are facing and ended up  buying the RRS L bracket and grip. The first time I picked it up I was really impressed on how light it is and the quality of the finish work....

I would agree that  the Leicatime case is amazing.  I found a used one for my X100 and love it but when it came to buying one for the XE-1 I just could not shell out the the $$ for the case.  I...

I ended up buying the same dicapac.  Going to Vietnam next week.  Hope it works.Morrie

Richard,I was like you and struggled on what grip to purchase.  I ended up with the Really Right Stuff grip and L bracket.  The grip is much more impressive in person than in photos. It is...

How heavy is this lens?  I'm considering buying one for an upcoming trip to Vietnam and can think of a few places where it would come in very handy. For this trim  I will be  taking an XE-1 with...

I answered my own question and the cards I'm looking are UHS class 1 and SDHC Class 10.  It now comes down to what speed I want to buy.Thank youMC

Thanks for the suggestions but I'm not familiar with an UHS-I card.  What are the advantages over a regular SD Card?

Thank you for the replies .  I typed the post from a tablet  and the auto fill  misspelled a few words which I did not catch.  I could not find an area to edit the original message, sorry about...

I need to by a few SD Cards for an upcoming trip.  I will be getting class 10 cards but what write speed do I need to get for an xe-1?   all the card MFG seem to have cards with various speed.  Is...

Nice looking grip it is not an L bracket or have mounting slots for a tripod.   If my conversion from yen to dollars was correct it is fairly expensive at around $104.00.   Thanks for posting...

When i looked at the link I thought the same thing but I did a search for a 49mm vented lens hood and there are several at a very reasonable price at around $5.00.

Great info on the hoods.  I'm going to pick up one of the vented lens hood and give it a try.  It looks like they will work quite well.Thank you
