This is an interesting thread, particularly for the technical aspect. I used to enjoy photography, happily shooting thousands of pictures. Then one day while on vacation with a friend and taking ...

I've been wondering about the A7 too and noticed its price is lower than the other A7ii or A7R or A9 models.  I've been thinking about a FF digital camera to resurrect my old Canon FD mount ...

I have Vivitar Series One 90-180mm f/4.5 Flat Field Macro Zoom (in Canon FD mount) that can focus continuously from infinite to about 2 feet to get 1:4 macro at 90mm or 1:2 macro at 180mm.  It's a ...

Well, I've found the Fujifilm X30 to be a fine carry-around camera.  It's small enough to fit in my vest jacket pocket.

Looks like you have a nice outfit.  Nice arrangement of the boxes too. Maybe she thinks you're obsessed with "Fuji"? At least you don't have "Hasselblad"

On your X-Pro1 are you able to use the OVF, or do you use EVF mode?

Unfortunate.  I was looking forward to getting the DL18-50 for the ultra-wide angle 18mm focal length.  It would have been a unique camera.

I've also heard it stated there is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental disorder". Another statement I've heard is "in order to get the most out of hobby you have to allow it to consume you." ...

Glad you have the GAS urge under control and a way to deal with it. I wouldn't complain about the Travel Channel on the TV addiction.  It is CHEAPER than actually flying and going there.  Maybe ...

Great story and (painfully) funny. That's the way it is with hobbies. The late silent film comedian Harold Lloyd (who was an avid 3-D photographer) said something along the lines: " In order to get ...

Ah yes, the Minolta SRT-101's "Contrast-Light Compensating" (CLC) metering.  Boy, does that go back a long time.  I remember those cameras.  I had the SRT-102 model was added an aperture readout ...

I hope my X30 will last a long time.  I like its built-in EVF which was the reason I bought it.  But if I ever have to replace it, it will probably a Nikon DL24-85.....if it ever comes out.  ...

You can try the Fujifilm Lenshood for X10 (same lens as X30) available at B&H Photo for $37. (B&H #FULHX10). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=B%26H+%23+FULHX10&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma ...

Anyone have experiences with these flashes on a Fuji camera?

I'd like to thank all, especially Ben Hermann, for advice on the Meike MK320 flash. Seems to be bargain in most-flash-for-the-buck department.  Hope it's reliable as well. Didn't order a Meike ...

I was at an event and took a picture of a friend with a celebrity. The celebrity commented, "Ah...a real camera!" Feels good to be using a camera that feels like a real camera, especially one that ...

Mr. Hermann,  thanks for your response, guidance and reassurance about the sources. BTW, I live in the USA.  Re Amazon.com,  how do I know I'm getting a new never been sold before item, rather than ...

Thank you Mr. Herrmann.  You've confirmed what I found earlier as far as the links.  Appreciate your efforts....and my respects. But I've noticed in small print under "Ships from and sold by" a ...

Well, if Fuji comes out with an X40 (even with 2/3 sensor) with equivalent wideangle lens specs to the Nikon DL18-50, while maintaining the internal EVF and same controls  as the X30, I'd buy ...

+1 I agree.  I was looking for a compact camera with better IQ to replace my old Panasonic TZ-5.  The DL24-85 had me intrigued, but it wasn't available.   The additional $250 plus an additional ...
