I have the box, lens bag, caps, etc. and it's in excellent condition. I picked it up to shoot some theatre stuff, but found I was defaulting to shorter focal lengths and it wasn't the right match ...

I picked up a Viltrox 85mm f1.8, so I ended up shooting one night with that lens and the next night with the Viltrox 23mm f1.4. I brought along the a6300 as a backup. i was much, much happier with ...

I’m getting used to the change in AF behavior moving from Sony to my X-H1. It’s not bad - I shot skiers at a resort with great results - but it’s not close. I expect the X-E4 will be way ahead of ...

I traded my Sony A7Rii in to switch to Fuji, mostly because: 1). I was ALWAYS spending time editing that I didn't want to spend to get the colors I wanted 2). Ergonomics - it was fiddly and not ...

This is a high school theatre/auditorium, so I can get right up to the edge of the stage, and up on the sides, etc.. I haven’t used the 35mm ff equivalent focal length to shoot any past shows, but ...

Thanks, all! I’ve shot several shows with this theatre  before, but all with my previous Sony gear - so I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Fuji kit for this use case yet. I’m shooting during ...

I'm assuming you were shooting with your X-T2, so same sensor. Where did you find your ISO was ending up most often? Were you using wide/tracking AF?

I'll be using my X-H1. What do you all like for shooting moving subjects in marginal lighting? Shooting rehearsals, so will be able to get close to the stage at a variety of angles. I have a 23 ...

Tonight’s moon. Handheld with the X-H1 and XC 50-230mm. Cropped, contrast and sharpening boosted in Lightroom. A decent showing for a budget tele zoom, hazy atmospherics and no tripod!

There are multiple boxes on my screen, but the boxes tend to stick to subjects (so far) as the subject moves about the frame. Are you running the latest firmware for the X-H1?

I used wide tracking, continuous focus, setting 5. I set the focus box either in the middle, grabbed the subject and recomposed as they moved or, in the case of the jumpers, just over the rock ...

That sounds like a fantastic plan... enjoy!

It is actually the version 2 lens. OIS seems pretty good, but I have no basis to compare it to the version 1. It really is an impressive lens for the money!

....And the internal intervalometer on the X-H1 are made for each other! 30 1-minute exposures stacked in StarStax. 18-55mm at 18mm, f2.8, ISO 400

Spring is in the air.

Okay, after shooting some alpine skiers today, I need to revise my thoughts a touch. I said the AF wasn’t awesome. This was a function of my use indicating that the AF points seemed to regularly be ...

Glad I could help. One other thing - the thing, really, with Fuji. I found with the Sony bodies that I was always post processing everything to get the colors I wanted. Yes, with more important ...

I shoot a lot of landscapes, few portraits, and some documentary/street type stuff. Occasionally, I shoot action (alpine skiers, mountain biking, soccer, basketball). I spend a lot of time with my ...

I just got an X-H1, and the AF system is definitely a learning opportunity for me, coming from Sony. Have any of you shot skiers with the X-H1? For those who have, what was your preferred setup? ...
