I've just grabbed a special offer and bought the pro version of pixelmator for £20.  I'd love to be able to abandon Adobe - and I'm happy to drop Photoshop right away - but I'm less sure about ...

Charles - my point 3 refers to the way the camera assesses light and exposure. If you link the exposure to the focus point the camera will take a light reading as you half-press the shutter and, ...

This is typical! You use the focus and recompose method - a tried and trusted approach for many photographers. All but one of the responses so far have told you to change your technique - and use ...

Thought provoking post! I am an OK photographer- no better I think.  I marvel when you see articles where someone like Annie Leibovitz has shot fabulous images using a phone, and I realise that no ...

I use a Domke bag - ideal and unobtrusive

I use a Leica Macro Elmar 90mm f4 collapsible - one of Leica's best kept secrets.  Amazing lens - works beautifully on the xpro2

this is a go-to lens

XT30 at £850 ($900)

agreed - they're in the Strand

good shot!

If it's an important trip to you - I'd be tempted to go for the "2".  Taking a new - new camera is always a risk - you never know what teething problems it may throw up.  Who knows what the ...

I'm going to buck the trend here.  Whilst the image quality is outstanding - the use of light, for the most part, softens and sweetens the images - in a place where that isn't what is intended I ...

I use an elmar 90mm on my x pro 2 - fabulous combo.

CBA to read every reply so apologies if I'm repeating what others have said. I moved from Canon SLR to Fuji for the same reasons.  I also decided to stick mostly to primes (I have only one zoomer). ...

I owned the 70-200 in my SLR days and I own the 55-200 now.  It's every bit as good.  The IS is not the most powerful in the Fujinon range but it adds a stop or two.  It's as sharp as you like (if ...

I agree - the 23mm 1.4 would be an outstanding event lens - but why not grab the 16mm 1.4? Even wider (you can always crop) and just as fast.

as others say - the high mp sensor is much less forgiving of poor technique - tiny camera shake will be apparent.  I had to re-evaluate what my slowest shutter speed was.  I used to be able to ...

...have to say - unless you're planning to enlarge to poster size - it's not visible.

Fuji - I'm with those who choose the 56mm f1.2 Overall - Leica Macro Elmar 90mm f4 on a cheapo adapter ring.  Small, versatile, wonderful images.

It's a cormorant I think. Nice pictures - the TC doesn't damage image quality does it? - Very nice.
