Whereabouts in Calafornia are you going? Ian

Brilliant, many thanks for taking the time to recommend what to do. I am looking forward to the visit and taking some nice images, your recommendations should keep both me and my wife...

This has to be a joke, I thought it was April 1st

Who would want to carry a drinks cabinet around with lens attached?

Hi. Great shots and welcome to the XE1 family. I too have only had the XE1 for a week or so having moved from FF Canon. I am visiting Stockholm during a cruise in two weeks and looking forward to...

I think it depends on what type of photography you take. I have had a GH3 and 12-35 and 35-100 and they are a nice combination, but for me they didn't give me the same IQ as the Fuji XE1 does.  Now...

Hi Thats a good question! I am not sure what gone wrong but I exported the file from LR4 as I dont have a RAW converter in CS5. The original file size was 4896 x 3264 I need to check out what...

Nice work and thanks for sharing, it's very usefull Ian

Hi Yes the OS was on al the time, as all were handheld. cheers Ian

Having Been using this less for a couple of days and 200-300 shots can I just clarify a few points. This lens was not made or intended to compete with FF lenses at over £1500  Its made to...

Hi Steve Yes it's very sturdy on a tripod, I used it handheld yesterday for a few hours and yes it's not as comfortable or as well balanced as a lens this size would be on a DSLR. BUT, personally I...

Good shout and yes I should have increased the ISO to guarantee faster shutter and sharpness, thanks for the feedback.  All handheld. Cheers Ian

Early days but I cant fault this lens for its size and the money!! Look at the detail on the hair

To be honest it's not that big, yes it's about one and a half  the size of the 18-55 and weighs 580g which isn't too heavy for this class of lens. I guess I will only take it with me when I have a...

Lol........ That would make the Nikon 2300g for the body and 70-200 v 870g for the Fuji, not much difference eh Ian

Thought it may be useful for people to see what the lens looks like mounted on the body. To be honest its quit well balanced and doesnt feel over heavy, however when zoomed out it does look a...

Only just got this yesterday and the XE1 so just getting to know it, but first impressions are its pretty good. Excuse the snaps just wanted to do a quick test. I know I must be cwackers>>>>>>>>>

Excellent quick review with good images to support, I am just starting my adventure with Fuji having had Canon and wanting to go smaller. The only reservation I had was lack of long lenses, now...

Really nice images with good exposure and excellent sharpness, well done Ian

In a world of compromises I find photography the most difficult. Having been using the Canon 6D & 24-70 F4 for the past 3 months you cant fault the IQ and creativity, but boy is it a lump to carry....

Which did you go for? The grip allows you to hold the camera much better, but it blocks the SD slot and Battery? The case allows you access to card and battery but its not as comfortable to...
