Indulis Bernsteins

Just buy the wide angle adapter for the lens. Full quality, small, no loss in aperture/picture quality.

The sun is "crushed"! 1/4000 sec at F2.0, bright sunshine at midday, Canon 580 EXII flash at 1/16 (I think!)

The X100 series' "party trick" is to be able to sync with flashes at up to 1/1000 sec or faster. Why is this good? Because you can set a wide aperture (nice bokeh! small depth of field!), and a ...

Great ball head with everything you could want, for a reasonable price. Arca plate compatible, nicely made. Works. Light. Decent price. Pan control with angles marked. You could find a better ball ...

Use this Op-tech "converter" strap, as the attachment to your camera (1 is included with the small sling I mentioned in my previous post), but remove the female "socket" connector and thread it ...

Here is the mirrorless sling from Op-tech ($25), I mostly use the smaller model ($13) which works for my X-E1 with any lens except the 55-200mm. https://optechusa.com/mirrorless-sling.html Cheap, ...

X-E2 or X-E2s with pancake lens (23mm), about the same size as X100S/T/F (even a bit smaller). That way you can also take and use your other lenses in your backpack or luggage. For general ...

The trouble is that- unlike bought software packages- once you stop paying Adobe, your ability to process anything is instantly cut off. Even your old photos that you could edit yesterday are no ...

From my X-E1 and X100T experience, some potential issues, these may not be the same for X-T2 but worth a check 1) Camera is set to "silent", this switches off both the beeper/speaker and the flash ...

+ maybe the wide converter lens (the tele-converter can be left at home, crop the photos instead).

Thumbs up for multishot flash on X100/X100S/X100T/X100F!

Why are the multi-shot modes grayed out on the X100T? High speed multi, low speed multi, and bracketed shots all become inaccessible when using any flash modes. It'd be fine if multi is locked out ...

I have an X-E1 and a bunch of lenses... had the X100T for a few months and it is fun, and easy to always have on hand. I've taken to using an Op/Tech neoprene lens bag as the camera protector, and ...

Op/Tech Compact Sling strap will be fine for an X-E2 with all lenses except large telephoto lenses (e.g. 55-200mm). It is a sling strap, so you can quickly move your camera from your hip (under ...

Yes- the older X-E1 also has the "sensible" behaviour that remembers what LCD/EVF mode you were in for Record, and separately remembers the Playback mode. So simple, why would they "undo" the good ...

The Bower hood for the X100T (metal) is almost indistinguishable from the Fujifilm one, slightly different colour. Feels the same in terms of quality, so I have taken off my genuine Fujifilm hood, ...

on1 Raw sn't available yet. It is interesting because they talk in the video about using the computers graphics card (GPU) to do a lot of the processing. Something Lightroom doesn't do yet AFAIK. h ...

A weaker GBP would make the lens more expensive in £!  As per the latest fight between Tesco and Unilever about who is going to pay for the grocery price rises due to the GBP falling.

The cheap JJS shutter release also has a rubber o-ring to stop the release button from unscrewing (lost 2 x Match releases before they started doing this).

I bought a JJS soft release £2.99 (red) " JJC SRB-B10R Red 10mm Metal Soft Shutter Release Button with Convex Surface " Check my other thread re the lens hood for X100T for a photo of it. It isn't ...
