Blue Swan Media

I just bought one. It's like they're made for each other - just perfect. Mind you, I'm using the grip for the XP2 so that may have an impact.

Some of these would be really wonderful cropped and then printed big, like this one!

The biggest issue I've had with Wasabi batteries is that the battery sensor can't gauge their remaining power level accurately. They seem to go from full to dead in just a few dozen shots. Fuji ...

I'm coming from a Nikon 70-200 VRII w/D750, which is different but not terribly so in terms of AF. It's difficult to describe the difference - I will see if I can make a video. It's definitely ...

X-Pro1 all the way! So classy, it's been mistaken for a Leica more than once, and the OVF is fun with the lenses you can use it with. Mine is for sale - $325 - PM me if interested!

The leather definitely has its pluses and minuses. I gravitated to the leather because all of my other bags are canvas and I wanted something different, but canvas is lighter, versatile and very ...

Yes as he said an SSD is crucial, an enormous upgrade in performance. I just bought a new one for a 2009 MBP; it cost me $67 on Amazon for 250GB, and took all of 8 minutes to put in. www.blueswanme ...

It's cool, and I understand the urge to go full frame. It's easy for me to say it's not worth it since I've been there and done that, but if you've never had a FF camera it's very alluring, and ...

Exactly. Display quality is hugely important--more so than processor and memory past a certain point--and these MBPs - especially the retinas - tend to be very good and very consistant. My 28" 4k ...

So, whenever someone posts stuff from the APD I assume we're supposed to comment on the lens performance rather than the artistic merit of photos them selves. . . some people like really blocky ...

I did read the thread. a) From what you've said you're going to do with your camera, I think mirrorless (specifically the X-Pro2) is the better choice. I've owned 15 DSLRs including the D750, 5 ...

This is the correct question IMO.

My biggest surprise with the X-Pro2 is how little I use the OVF. I doubt the 10-24 will be an issue, as using the EVF and knowing you nailed focus - not even getting into the extreme parallax of ...

I second the D750 over the D800 if you need a DSLR. But you probably don't need a DSLR.

Just find any used Macbook Pro from 2011 or newer and you'll be set.

If you don't mind spending $250, the ONA Bowery is exquisite. Looks fantastic and very functional, with the added bonus of preventing you from bringing too much gear. Will fit your X-E1, 56, plus ...

I'm just here to say don't forget about the 14mm f/2.8. Such a magic little lens, a wonderful travel companion.

Here you go, also sans retouching: I have to say, in comparing this with images from the copy of this lens I consigned from NPS last year, it's still not quite the same. Maybe focus still? After a ...

It's definitely better lens with people than with refrigerator magnets :-)

Thank you Andrew for the links - it's not just me. Wide-open and close to the minimum working distance, it seems the 58mm isn't intended to have the same kind of sharpness as the Sigma, Fuji or ...
