I have both adapters maltmoose. I have the a7r2 and the a7iii. In Fuji I have the X-T20 and the X-H1. I have the Canon L glass full frame lenses and then a bunch of APSC lenses. I generally have ...

I think your first paragraph and the last paragraph are key: Note this does not apply firmware fixes of bugs. And: The big concern people would have is that Fuji would hold back features to sell ...

I would like to see a Fuji XC macro lens option. The 60mm option is a bit pricey for the number of times I want to shoot a macro. Not a huge deal but I would have bought a Fuji if there was one in ...

I have one on order and it is currently being shipped my way. Since changing systems a decent macro is one thing I am lacking. I thought I would take a chance on this lens for the price and see ...

FFT That is interesting and yes I have had a similar experience with the Canon 17-85mm. However my experience differed in that I noticed it when I powered the camera on and had the OIS  turned on ...

I started with the X-T20 and then added the X-H1 when a great deal came up on it. I have relegated my X-T20 as my take anywhere camera. I have it in a small bag with the 15-45 and an extra battery ...

Well said Steve. I shoot both systems and enjoy what I can get out of each. Do I need two systems...no. I could get by with one or the other but it's my hobby so I enjoy seeing what each can do. ...

My transition to Fuji from my Sony Alpha and m4/3rds systems did involve the consideration of weight and size for the XT-20. The XT-20 has replaced my m4/3 bodies and the X-H1 my Sony a77ii. With ...

Hi Robert I asked a similar question a while back but received no replies regarding the two. From what I have been able to read the Canon is probably the better value. The Fuji seems to have had ...

Hi Dennis You may be replying to me in this post regarding the Sony 16-80mm. When I said it didn't get rave reviews I should qualify that they never said it was a bad lens but they often referred ...

Thank you DocetLector and Yannis for posting these images in this thread. This lens is still of interest to me and would suit my focal range perfectly. I appreciate you posting these. Silver

I think this is a good summary Clive and your last two paragraphs are the points I was trying to make. Yes we know that there can be issues in mass lens production and it is a very technical ...

I don't think asking for quality from an newly released lens in this price range is asking too much. He did not expect perfection. I am curious how the issues were not detected by the ...

If the Fuji 16-80 performance comes close to the Sony I will definitely consider it. I may have to talk with a Fuji rep about it and see if I can 'borrow' a demo. :) Silver

Due diligence is nice I agree but it could also be related to timing and reputation. If your experience with a given product 'brand' has always been good the risk should be lowered. Perhaps that ...

I get this! Sometimes this range is exactly what a person wants or needs especially when lens swapping may not be an option. This lens range seems to be very problematic for lens makers. My ...

This focal range is exactly what I need for the type of shooting I do often but I have been reluctant to get the Fuji due to the mixed reviews I have read. It's a little over $1300 here in Canada. ...

Seconded! I really enjoy my X-H1. I can wait to see if there is a version 2. Silver

Thanks Glen. I do use the Denoise 6 presets but I often adjust to my own preference. I actually seldom ever use more than the light jpeg setting and then adjust to where I find I like the amount ...

Thanks Charles appreciate that. I don't do a lot of high ISO work and often use Denoise as a cleaner at the very end. I may just hold off on purchasing it for now as 6 seems to do most of what I ...
