Great photo, handsome well dressed lad. His parents will love this photo.

Well I have an Epsom R1800 13" and a Canon MG8220 all in one 8" They are years apart in manufacture and ease of use and set up. They both burn ink on cleaning of print heads. When I hear the ...

Was using the leash on my xt2 and liked it. Got the XH1 and was using a leash on it until it became warm outside and using the 55-200 it was digging in to my neck. Had the slide lite on my Nikon ...

Having snapped similar looking clips in the past I also was apprehensive. The trick is to slide the wide end up over the strap and ring untill it clips into place.

Yikes you hit the nail on the head. Fits all the OP's needs price quality focal length. I have this lens as well as 16-50, 18-55, 14, and  Lawoa 9 they are all great but the 15-45 is a gem and a ...

Yep Nighthawks is one of my Hopper fave paintings but looks like you got there to late to catch the crowd;-) Colorado Springs had some Hopper cowboy portraits in their museum, quite a contrast ...

Beautiful image of my favorite flowering tree. Curious what film simulation was used. it would seem one might be best for the delicate gradiation of tones, which one probably lies in the eye of ...

Curious what the camera set up look side by side not that is really an issue as these extreme telephotos are going to have some bulk. Think I have seen this on other places where the OOF detail is ...

When a battery is severly depleted of charge a smart charger may reject it, ie the fast blink error. Id try the usb overnight to see if that helps. I have in the past just kept inserting the ...

Olympus made what was called a telextender that goes on the front of the lens. I found this one used and it works but is indeed a beast. Wanted to use on my 45-175 Panny but used it on a Nikkor ...

Happy dog out for jaunt! Nice photo of a beautiful or handsome dog:-D

i got greedy when I picked up a used XM1 and scoured the web to score a 15-45 and 16-50, I already had the TT Artisan 35 1.4 and wanted small and light for the tiny XM1. Seems to me the 16-50 ...

Yep rereading the OP desire to keep the cost down and take family photos the 15-45 also covers landscape ie travel but kind of short for wildlife. Indeed its a bargain. It does get annoying ...

if you used a filter that can cause trouble. fwiw.

All the tiny 35 compacts had a lot of merit, my fav was the Rollei with the collapsible lens. It was to rich for my blood at the time and I was sorely tempted for years after as a used camera.  So ...

Zinch, I can imagine how tiring it must be to have twins ;-) If you need a babysitter I could watch them at my house. :-)

Its always a good idea to check the firmware to make sure the camera has the latest version. The firmware greatly improved usability of early cameras. The lens will also have firmware that might ...

It seems that you appreciate the retro esthetics of this cam. One thing to consider is fuji makes lens with or without an aperature ring to set the f stop. The aperture ring will give a more retro ...
