1. Tripod or small table top type that you can put on something like a table or fence post is a must 2. Shoot manual - exposure and focus 3. Use your wide angle adaptor on the X100T 4. Set ISO to ...

my best lens by far......it's only supposed to focus to something like 150mm but like you it actually gets much closer than specified :-)

Don't hesitate, it's my favourite lens. Sharp, wide and focuses incredibly close with nice bokeh...here are 3 samples....

here are 2 with the 16mm on an XP2...look plenty wide enough to me

AF-L ( Lock ) won't work the same as all you are doing is locking and unlocking the focus ?

I found that if you set the camera up with AF, half pressing the shutter release obtains focus , so do that for the foreground and when you move focus point to the background just half press the ...

cracking shots.....really enjoyed looking at them !

I used it to create my stock profiles which gets my jpegs much closer to how I want them....it's a great tool and does help the user understand the effect that the different settings have on the ...

Get the 16mm for Auroras and other low light shooting....... I shot wide most of the time in Iceland but could have made good use of a recently acquired 55-200, it's not big on wildlife there so I ...

I've experienced similar issues but not for some time since I updated the lens to the latest firmware...also it never happened at the 18mm end, just the 55mm end...some people have reported this ...

Not me...I like my cameras to be like a camera, not a computer

Placed 48^th in the challenge. Sealing the knot....

Excellent, I liked them all and enjoyed looking at them....good work !

this was taken at 1/34 sec, 200mm and iso 3200 on an XP2, wide open at F4.8 in a not too well lit room......I found it a really useful lens for a wedding

tbh I always shoot Raw + Jpeg but rarely touch the Raws...almost all editing is done with the jpegs...a few quick tweaks and it's sorted :-)

Maybe a touch over sharpened but a nice set of images - seeing these makes me look forward to receiving the 55-200 that I've got on order. It's luck of the draw at zoos, unless you're prepared to ...

I find My Menu a really convenient place to put most of the things that I might want to adjust...all the rest are just set and leave...so for me it works really well.

excellent gallery, not been there but I've visited other camps...very moving and emotional experience....B&W is the perfect choice for such grim and chilling places
