Wonderful lens. Few tips: - Test infinity focus to be sure you know where it is. Mine is a hair short of the marking. - lens flare can be pretty bad. Keep harsh light away from edge of the lens and ...

yes! Especially with vintage lenses. I have the xh1. When the xt3 came out, I was bummed out and feeling like I made a mistake purchasing the XH1. I would love the AF and performance improvements. ...

Yes, this is a known issue with how LR handles Fuji files. I love LR but was frustrated with this so recently found a good solution. I import my files into LR, cull them, and run all my keepers ...

Vintage lenses pair well with Fuji bodies. I have about a dozen vintage lenses which I pair with my xe3 and xh1. (The ibis on xh1 is great for this since these lenses are not stabilized of course.) ...

I have an xh1. I use the neck strap from Hyperion. Works well and I love the aesthetic. When I am  using my 100-400 lens , I use the peak design camera clip to mount the lens on my backpack and ...

@threaded I tried the Raf file and the data is there! Thanks so much.

Thanks. The file is from xh1 with latest firmware it’s a file I exported to Mac Photos. Perhaps I’ll try with a raw file if that’s supported

Very cool tool! I can’t find the information or a section labeled maker notes. What is the name of the field that indicates shutter count? Thanks

That only works for JPEG processing settings. He’s looking for something more comprehensive that sets a range of camera settings.

wise words

Excellent idea. It’s my travel kit attached to my xe3. Good idea to bring it along.

So I do have the 27 but didn’t list it because it’s not a lens I love. What would you suggest knowing that I have it? (I also had but sold the 23f2 to fund the 16-55)

Good point about the backup. Especially considering that my XH1 has had a few of the dreaded lockups. Good advice though I might take the 90 instead of the 50-230. I just don't love the 50-230 lens. ...

The location is certainly convenient enough. I will be staying not very far from there. Thanks, good advice! I will likely do Masada and Dead Sea with a tour if I do. Toda Raba!

Ironically, I do own the 50-230 ;) but didn’t list it because I just don’t love it. You’re right, it’s a light and versatile lens, but I don’t love shooting with it.... Now you’ve got me thinking, ...

I am inclining towards the 16-55 on one body and 12 on the other. Probably not on this trip. Maybe Dead Sea and Masada.... spectacular shots. Now I’m thinking I need to add the bird observatory to ...

Oh yes! Well worth it. I have the xe3 and a bunch of vintage lenses including three Nikkors. They’re wonderful on the xe3. Manual focus is a breeze with the focus peaking feature.

great points didnt know about the bird observatory! Will check it out.... I was inclining to take the 16-55 and 12. I may add the 56 though for some amazing portraits. Good point. Thanks for the input

Oh yes - lots of batteries will be coming with me. Good point. I don't find I need the ibis on the 12mm. at that length, I can shoot 1/10 handheld if I need to without ibis. I am inclining towards ...
