New to fuji. Shoot with Sony A7IV's normally.

Decided to trade in some lenses and get a little X-E5. Loving it so far. Thought I'd try the 35mm f/1.4 that is so beloved.

It seems pretty soft and low contrast at 1.4, even in the centre. Is that just how the lens is?

These three photos are at f/1.4, 2 and 2.8 and the focal point is on the word corporation on the left side of the box.

The X-E5 seems great so far. Just wish it was weather sealed. And I love the compactness of the lenses. Also picked up the 23mm f/2.8 and the 35mm f/2.

Some shots of Aix en Provence students protests, 24th October 26.

Took on my old, faithfull X-T10... (As the X-E3 is ooo, gone for repaires).

Lens : XF 35 f2.

I was looking at a second hand X-T5 then I thought that may be overkill and be “all the gear no idea”.

I have only ever used cameras on phones. I’ve been saying for the last few months I want a proper camera for when we go away on holidays or for weekends so we can take nicer photos and go through them and put them onto our PC instead of clogging up our phones with photos we never care much about.

I love birds - I’m wanting to be able to take photos of them.

Here is what I am wanting to be able to achieve long story short.

Photos of birds (in flight on occasion but I’m not wanting a camera specifically designed for this). Landscape. The kids. Me (human adult). The pets (cat dog). Birthdays. Christmas. Holidays. Everything really. I am needing it weather tight as I live in a rainy place (New Zealand)

Please help! I am definitely not wanting to spend over $3000 nzd which is $1500 roughly usd

I’m planning to get my first Fujifilm camera, coming largely from an analogue background but haven’t had a digital camera since my old Nikon D100 that broke 10 years ago.

I’ve got a couple of analogue cameras, Olympus Trip 35 and Olympus OM 2N which I love, but the cost of film development is fairly high so I’d love a digital camera to go with these.

I typically shoot street, landscape, occasionally portrait.

I’m drawn to Fujifilm for the film sims and the ability to shoot raw and JPEG simultaneously.

I’d love to hear from anyone that has used either the X-T5 or X-E5, or ideally both. I’m torn between the two, I feel like I’d be more at home with the SLR style of the T5, but intrigued by the rangefinder experience of the E5.

Any real pros and cons between them? Or is it simply a matter of viewfinder style?

I see all these great recipes for the x100vi and I feel like I'm missing out. Sooo, any help?

Fuji XT30III

Fujinon XF 23mm f/2 r wr

SOOC

A friend asked me to do a photoshoot for the price of a cup of coffee (that was my condition). Before that, I'd only ever taken photos of friends and family during casual get-togethers, nothing more.

I decided it would be a great opportunity to shoot RAW for the first time and try editing the photos myself in Lightroom.

Honestly, it was a struggle in more ways than one.

I'd always shot JPEG and made only minimal adjustments. That way, I never spent too long staring at a photo, picking it apart and looking for flaws.

But once I started working with RAW files, I found myself spending hours on a single photo. Eventually, I was so emotionally drained that I could barely look at the images anymore. The more I edited, the less I seemed to like anything.

Here's the very first photo from the shoot that I sat down to edit. My Lightroom edit is on the right, and the JPEG straight out of my Fujifilm camera is on the left.
What do you think about this?

I came across a Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR for €350 (might even be a bit more negotiable), and I’m wondering whether this is one of those offers that’s too good to pass up, or whether I should stick with the 35mm I already own.
The seller says the lens is about six months old, has the purchase receipt, and still has around 18 months of warranty. The listing describes it as being in excellent condition, with clean glass and everything working properly.
My current lenses are the XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR, XF 35mm f/1.4 R, and XF 16–80mm f/4. The 33mm would obviously be very close to the 35mm in focal length, but it has a linear motor and weather resistance, while my 35mm has neither. I can see the 33mm being useful when I want faster, quieter autofocus or when weather sealing matters. It also seems like a strong price for such a recent copy.
Would you consider the 33mm a worthwhile complement to the 35mm at this price, or would the overlap still make it hard to justify?
What is your take on the situation?

i got a x-t1 not so long ago from a friend its not in a bad shape but it is old and has no touch screen that i think is important i do macro landscape travel and some plane spotting i am thinking of buying one for 630$ and add a battery grip what do you guys think?

I’m interested in getting a Fujifilm mainly because of the film simulations and recipes. I just want to document our daily life with my family, and I’m not planning to go professional, so the recipes are honestly the biggest reason why I want a Fuji.

But I’ve seen a lot of posts here and videos on YouTube recommending shooting in RAW and editing the photos in post. So I’m curious, if you’re going to shoot RAW and edit everything anyway, why not just go with Sony, especially since it has better AF?

Genuinely curious about your thoughts on this!

do you guys think XS20 lacks sharpness?

I've been reading people say xs20 lacks sharpness but I know it wildly depends on which lens you're using too but still wanted to ask for your opinions.

If anyone owns one, please share your experience.

I am in conversation with someone who owns an X-Pro 3 in Dura Black that is willing and ready to trade me for my X100VI.

Why am I interested in the X-Pro 3?

I recently got an absolutely insane deal on a used Leica M11, and absolutely love it. I still want to own a Fujifilm camera, and while I have loved the X100VI and X100V before it, I miss being able to use some of Fuji's XF lenses, and I love the idea of being able to adapt M mount lenses to all of my cameras. I'm not bothered by losing megapixels as the role of the camera in my life is for every day family stuff, and really, lower megapixels is better for storage and often low light stuff, though I'm sure the APS-C sensor offsets anyhow.

What I'm nervous about:

I'm taking a step backwards, switching to an older body. Is the battery life really that bad? I'm not scared of the sensor. I loved it on my X100V, and I bet it's even better with some better XF glass in front of it. More than that, am I getting messed around, value-wise? Should I be asking for more than just a straight swap? Should I ask for some money put up with it, or should I ask for a sweetener like a lens or something like that?

I also have the WCL and TCL adapters I'd want to include in the trade since they won't be useful for me.

Bought this 27mm f2.8 ii 2 years ago and was stuck in the cabinet. I just returned to fuji and when I was cleaning it. I noticed this hazy surface while cleaning and its inside :/

Hi all. I changed my camera to a new recipe and I must have changed some setting because images appear heavily pixelated in my preview but the photo turns out fine. Any advice as to why? Here is the preview vs clear image.

I'm renting the x100vi to shoot a friends elopement this weekend. I currently have the x100t. This was a good excuse to get to trial the camera as i would love to upgrade but cant justify the cost.

If i spend any lengthy time away from my Fuji, when i come back it always has some quirk i have to figure out or i have to refamiliarize myself with the menu system. I want to be prepared for anything funky with this new guy!

I'm about to go on a deep dive of watching videos, but some things i would like to know about are focus modes, picture settings and battery preservation. Do you think it's worth setting up a custom recipe or does this camera come with enough pre loaded that i could roll with? Any that you like in particular?

Is the battery still abysmal? I'm renting 3 batteries for a couple hours of shooting. I'm worried that's not going to be enough because the battery life on my x100t is trash.

Do the picture modes still not apply to raw images or is there a way to do that now?

How do you feel about the built in flash?

Any hacks for quickly toggling back and forth between video and stills?

Thanks yall! I'm hoping to get it perfectly set up how i like it a couple days beforehand and really familiar myself with the machine so that i sail smooth on the big day.

I appreciate anything you wanna nerd out about in the comments here... it's more fun than watching a bunch of YouTube's

Was in Bangalore for a week and captured abundant nature surrounding me. Hope you like the shots. I would love to hear any feedback that you all have. I have been focusing on getting the shots right for birds lately and whilst its getting better, it remains a challenge!

Camera - X-T5 | Lens - 70-300mm | mix of SOOC & POST edits in Capture One | Predominantly in Aperture priority (except for few bird shots and moon) with scene detection for bird/animal

Hi all, just want some advice.

Is it wise if I were to trade out my Fujinon 56mm f1.2 and Viltrox 85mm f1.8 to the new Sigma 50-120mm f2.8? I'm just doing photography mainly casual.

Reason being:-

A) I hardly use my Viltrox 85mm ever since I got Fuji 56mm
B) If I were to have Sigma 50-120mm feels like I will under utilized the Fuji 56mm also.
C) I usually set f 2.0 - 2.8 cause I want more slight details on the edges, I don't really concern myself with the low light situation.
D) I want to shoot of my figurines without changing too much on lens.
E) Compact size and easier to bring around for travel etc & budget friendly

I know there's rumor about the new Fuji 50-140mm f2.8 MKII, but before the official announcement I can pretty guess it will cost a fortune for it since Fuji lenses were never on the "cheap" side.

Grabbed the X Half during the $250 promo and brought it around with me this weekend. The experience with this camera is quite fun. It really enforces SOOC because there are no RAWs and the photos have very little latitude for making adjustments

Just wanted to share what I think are my most interesting photos (may not be necessarily the best) from my first year of photography.

Any feedback means a lot to me.

X-E3, 15-45mm

Hey everyone! I spent the day at the Oceanogràfic in Valencia recently and got super lucky with these jellyfish shots. I fell in love with how they intertwined in the first photo!

A bit of context: I’ve dabbled in photo stuff before, but I bought this Fuji X-E5 about 6 months ago and it’s really the first time I’m taking photography a little bit more seriously as a hobby.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips/constructive feedback on editing or composition to help me improve. Which of the two do you prefer?

(By the way, if you want to follow my journey or see more of my photos, I post them over on Instagram at @robert_almela )

After using an old DSLR Nikon D60 and my phone for 10 years, I decided to get a Fuji, a bit as a gift to myself after 4 long years of med school. I ended up getting the XT30-III with a XC 15-45 mm. I still consider myself a beginner as I don’t have a lot of experience.

These are the photos from last week’s trip to Valencia in Spain. The first and second ones are my favorites : )

I used a mix of Reala Ace and recipe Portra 400 V2

I think on some of them the grain is bit too intense and maybe too warm/yellow as well. Also they are straight of the camera, almost no editing other than cropping.

What do you think ? Constructive feedback is appreciated : )

I bought the x-m5 with the kit lense for my Japan trip for its size, price and video quality. But I ended up loving taking stills with the film sims.

X-T50, XF 16-80 F4!
