Never wait on the new model which hasn‘t be announced at all... and, there will be always a new model to come!

I use it only in very rare occasions, e.g. if I need to see what is out of the frame happening, or if the light is extreme harsh. Might be less than 5%.

Loving the condensed pictures of a short tele has nothing to do with laziness, as long as you simply like the results. Others use UWA due to laziness since you get everything in a single frame. How ...

Hi, I am not on my final point with the settings... just trying around. The camera is on a tripod at reasonable height, so no issue with the missing flip screen. And focussing is done by MF only. ...

I am very happy with my XP2, doing photo journalism and vlogging.

Best experiences esp. in mixed light is Classic Chrome. Doing corporate blogging.

Nice blog article, but of course its a very personal question. I become more and more used to my primes, i.e. previsualing a given scene works quite well in the meantime. I have the 14/18/35/60 ...

Hi all, moving my camera on a dolly/tripod leads to shakes, obviously. My question: Would the use of an OIS lens help here? My camera does not offers IBIS... Thanks!

I came back to Fuji due to its prime lens offering. But for sure, working with a X-Pro is much more fun like compared to the handling of any modern camera computer. The direct control makes the ...

That‘s a B+W 6000 outdoor case.

That‘s the point! Pics to be processed further (e.g., print) should get a low amount of sharpening, so #1 would be fine. If you‘re doing the final version for the web in 100%, #2 would be the one.

Hi all, preparing myself for a larger Job next week - and maybe someone likes to see my kit: I have the XP2 with me (in case, there is my local camera store around with a backup), my 14 / 18 / 35 / ...

Just for the records: I tried this and that, but the solution is that the eye/face detection has to be switched of for video - otherwise, the camera does AF-C only. The AF-L button does not work, ...

Sounds interesting! https://petapixel.com/2018/11/23/harvard-makes-nanosurface-that-fixes-chromatic-aberration-in-lenses/

Dear all, since I had a couple of questions about video with the XP2, I'd like to show you the result as well. Taken with the 18 f2 and 60 f2.4. Sound with Rode lavalier. Thanks for watching :)

I have the f1.4 for its speed and the blur ability - not only background, but also foreground. Nothing the f2 can offer at all, naturally. However, if F2 is enough, I would go for the f2 version, ...

Unfortunately, no. The cam doesn‘t display the focus area marking at all in MF. Second crazy thing - I can‘t set it to AF-S. When I select AF-S, the camera does AF-C (and displays that as well). ...

I understand you quite well, don't like the "big kits" to "cover" everything. 16 f2.8 sounds really tempting - are there any pictures already available? For me, the combo 18+35 works also very well.

Would be easy for me - the 23mm f2. I don‘t like zooms, never got used to them. However, the actual FL depends a on your goals. The 23 is nice for environmental portraits. Maybe the f1.4 version ...

My standard walkaround prime is the 18 f2. Compact and with fast aperture provides this lens the modern FoV (the „IPhone Look“). Use it on the XP2.
