At least it was just a cheap Sony kit lens. It got enough dust in it to start affecting photos and Sony wanted too much money to clean it. I ended up giving it to someone for parts. As for the ...

No, just having the camera out for the whole trip. I also had it out on safari, but my WR Nikon gear did much better. I did a hike down into the ash pit and it was super windy and the dust was ...

Dust is a bigger deal than rain. Shoot in a windy desert and you might trash your equipment. Do a search on dust and shooting in Antelope Canyon and see how many cameras it has ruined. I climbed ...

I know what you mean, but I don't think this is one of those threads, at least I hope not. Rich

Primes are always going to win. Last time I went to Japan, I was by myself and shot all primes. Changing lenses was no big deal. This time, my wife will be with me. A zoom makes my photography ...

LOL, sorry...

Sorry, it still hits my card and I have to save up for the 8-16 ;-) Rich

As far as I can see, you aren't the one kissing your gear ;-) Seriously though, I am looking forward to shooting with this lens next week in Tokyo. I think the only other lenses I am bringing is ...

You just never know where a thread is going to go here ;-)

Well, there is the part about me being the one earning the income and paying the bills, but she certainly forced the decision ;-) I have the X-T2 and X-T3. Will probably only bring the latter to ...

The other night I was lying in bed reading and I saw that the Fuji sale was back on. I put the 16-55 in my cart at Amazon, but held off buying it, because I keep telling myself that I am waiting ...

Did you have a filter on it?

I really like this series, but I have to say the processing on the last ones just really captures a mood . Nice work! Rich

Granting a benefit of doubt that these are just your gripes on a camera you do like, I'll offer my perspective after using it for a few weeks. Please no! Fuji has done this right by making a ...

Nice shot. I'm impressed that the electronic shutter didn't have trouble with the wing movement. When our hummers return to Colorado next year, I'll have to try moving to electronic. The X-T3 is ...

Hd a problem like this years ago on a Sony Nex and it was debris in the slot. I fixed it by holding the camera so that the slot faced down towards the floor and forced a bunch of filtered air in ...

Good point on the size. All these FAT filesystems are highly subject to fragmentation and I will stick by reformatting the cards every time I put them back in the camera. Deleting on the camera is ...

It may be 2018, but the FAT32 filesystem was introduced in 1996 and remains the same as it was then, with its 4GB limit. Event the "new" exFAT that is now supported on the X-T3 was introduced in ...

Since you are a new member and this is your first post, it would be a good idea to share images from each camera that display your observations. Otherwise, this looks like trolling, which I have a ...

Very nice!  I love Acros.
