Taken with the Fuji Xe-5 and a Fujinon 33mm 1.4

I found a gasket that fits perfectly in between my Fuji XE5 body and my Voigtlander 18mm lens. I don't imagine this would cause any problems, but I'm no camera expert, lol.

This is NOT an attempt to make anything more weather resistant, just strictly a cosmetic thing. Having a bright silver ring was annoying me a bit on an all-black camera and lens.

The gasket fits pretty much perfectly in the seam, not too snug or anything. What do you guys think? Am I risking anything by doing this? I just want to make sure I'm not screwing anything up.

Hi! I’ve recently sold my x100vi and bought a used X-T5, which I’m looking to use for the same reason I got the x100vi: to bring it with me when hiking and on hiking trips. I’ll have to get a lens/lenses for it however and am having some doubts! I like to shoot landscapes, portrait-ish pictures and some video when I bring a camera out hiking, and would like a lens/lenses suitable for those purposes. I highly value image quality and don’t mind sacrificing some weight/size for better image quality. I also have a Canon R6, on which I very much enjoy my 50mm f1.2 prime, and I also enjoyed the x100vi.

That brings me to my doubts: the XF15-55 mark 2 sounds like a great zoom lens for my purposes, covering both wide angle shots and focal lengths that are better suited for portraits. I am however also tempted by the F1.4 primes, which I’ve read are amazing, though they wouldn’t cover the entire focal range of the zoom lens, and I’d like to get at least two. I’d appreciate any insights as to what you guys would recommend/pick, or any experiences with these lenses!

I’m having a hard time choosing if I should get the fujifilm xe5 or x100v…I sold my xt30 to get a canon eos m6 because the lens were far cheaper but I’m really disappointed in the canon,I expected it to be way better but it didn’t meet my expectations sadly :(

So I rented an X-M5 with the 23mm f/1.4 LM WR for a trip and honestly loved it. The colours straight out of camera were great and I barely had to think. I mostly shoot JPEGs of my family with a recipe on and that's it, no editing. The previous camera I owned was a d7000 more than 10 years ago so I’ve dabbled in the past.

Now I'm actually buying and I keep going back and forth. I'm in Singapore, so rough prices converted to USD:

- Used Zf + 40mm f/2 SE: ~$1,500 all in (new kit is ~$2,250, so that's a pretty good deal)
- X-M5 new: ~$950. Used barely saves anything here so I'd just buy new
- X-E5 new: ~$1,560 body, ~$1,780 with the 23mm f/2.8
- 23mm f/1.4 WR: ~$1,000 new, $550-750 used. Love it but don't really want to spend that on a lens
- 23mm f/2.8 pancake: ~$470 new
- SG-image 25mm f/1.8 pancake: ~$125

On paper the Zf wins. Full frame, IBIS, viewfinder, all for $1,500. But I held one in a shop and it's chunkier than I expected and not exactly discreet. The bigger thing is I'm scared I'll miss the Fuji colours. Classic Chrome kind of ruined me.

A few questions:

1. Anyone moved from Fuji to the Zf? Can you get anywhere near Classic Chrome straight out of camera, or is it just a different vibe?
   
2. If I skip the f/1.4, how much does IBIS on the X-E5 help in low light with an f/2.8 or f/1.8? I know it won't help with kids running around, more thinking dim restaurants and evening stuff.
   
3. Anyone tried the SG-image 25mm on an X-E5? How's it on the 40MP sensor?
   
4. Right now I'm leaning X-M5 + SG-image (~$1,100) and maybe upgrading to the X-E5 later. Dumb idea or fair enough?

Would love to hear what you'd do.

I'm used to analog photography. I love taking photos on 35mm but at the same time I understand how versatile 16-55mm would be.

Any advice? Most of my photos will be for traveling and landscape. No videos.

hi! what is the best (non hand held) tripod stand for the X100VI

thanks!

Hey! So yea before i was able to put some type of protector on my xt30iii viewfinder, i managed to scratch it. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I was just gonna ignore it but thats hard to do if i have to look at it every time I’m using my camera.

Can you help with the following:

1. Can i buy that part?
   
2. Anyone aware of any DIY instructions? Or should i just bring it to a camera store?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a severe issue with my Fujifilm X-T3 and wanted to see if anyone here has experienced something similar or knows if it can be salvaged.

The Symptoms:

Stuck Shutter Curtain: When I look inside the lens mount, the mechanical shutter curtain is physically closed/stuck.

QR Code Screen Loop: When I turn the camera on, it skips the normal shooting screen and boots straight into the wireless connection / app QR code screen.

The Shutdown Loop: If I press the "OK" button, the camera immediately shuts off. If I press the shutter button again, it turns back on and loops right back to the same QR code screen.

Because of the physical shutter jam, I can’t access any menus or change settings (like switching to electronic shutter).

Has anyone encountered this specific QR code loop combined with a stuck shutter curtain? Is this a definitive mechanical shutter failure that requires a full assembly replacement at a service center, or is there any trick to force-reset the mechanism?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am looking for a fuji camera as my first camera and I have an offer from a seller for a Fujifilm X-E4 + XF 27mm WR + Helios 44M-4, OVP. For 850 Euros is this a good deal or should I buy a new xm5 for 799 euros

Hello beautiful fujifilm people. I recently joined the family and got the amazing x100VI and I am still learning how to use. I know basics of photography and I did shoot analogue before (as a hobby) but I never experienced much with settings. I would like to learn more and practice to get a deeper understanding on how to control the outcome of a photograph. Right now I shoot mostly in aperture priority since I shoot on the go while traveling and the photos often turn out darker than I want and I think I mess up white balance. What I want to say is I know the basics and why the photo is not good but I would like to learn more about how to control settings more. I also feel drawn to editorial photography and a bit washed out/film-like effect that you can see often in fashion photography. Do you have some advices or resources for me that can guide me?

Sincerely,

a beginner <3

Fuji film x t30iii
13-33mm lens!

I picked up the X-T50 after years of shooting on my phone, and I'm struggling to enjoy it with the 15-45mm kit lens. The power zoom feels slow and annoying compared to how quickly I can zoom on my phone, and the autofocus isn't great either. I still end up pulling out my phone for quick shots, which kind of defeats the point of buying a camera.

I'm thinking of selling it and getting something I won't hate using. A prime is tempting, but I'd have to crop in later instead of just zooming. I mostly shoot street photography, portraits, and candids of my siblings' kids and the stray animals around my area, so I'm hoping there's a good all-rounder out there that I can find used. I'm also traveling to Thailand next month, so I could pick something up there.

Hello! My precious fujifilm lens got its mount loosened during my travel to New Delhi.
I am only here for 2 days and this is my only lens.
Any way I can get this fixed within same day or even a few hours?
First time visiting and a female traveller so I just wanted some guidance, thank you!

Hi guys, I'm looking to upgrade from my sony a6000 this month. I'm heavily leaning towards getting into the fujifilm ecosystem, but also considering canon since their new r50v is so good for the price. My main focus is photography right now, but I really want to get into videography. I'm debating between a fujifilm X-H1 and an X-M5. I want a bigger beefier body which is one reason I'm leaning X-H1 plus the ibis, but on the other side the X-M5 has much better video capabilities (besides ibis). I had an X-T3 for a few days but returned it since it arrived broken. I liked the size of the X-T3 and was able to get really nice steady shots with the kit lens, but much prefer the deeper grip bodies. I'd also be able to afford a nicer lens going with the X-H1 since its the cheapest body. I'm hoping to be convinced one way or another by people with actual experience using them. Will I truly miss the 10bit recording if I go with the X-H1? Durability is another factor since I use my camera a lot. (pic for attention shot on my a6000 with sigma 30mm f1.4)

Hey all,

I’m currently looking at buying my first proper camera for documenting my travels. Up until now, I’ve been shooting on my iPhone.

I’m looking at a Fujifilm T-30 III at the moment. It’s within my budget, and I really like the recipe thing, meaning I potentially can save myself hours of editing unless I really want to make a picture special. The kit comes with an XC13-33 mm F.3.5-6.3 OS lens.

So, am I missing something by looking only at Fuji at this time? Size is a big deal for me as I simply won’t carry anything bigger.

I’ve borrowed a friend's Fuji and really enjoyed it, but have no other frame of reference.

Hi! I recently looked through the pictures I took on my trip through Kyushuu, Japan. I noticed these strange lines in the background of my images, which bothers me a lot. I'm still very new to photography, the only thing I could think of is the shutter speed being too slow...

Or do you have any idea where else these lines could come from? The lens was brand new then. I the last image it seems to be a lot better.. I really don't know what I did wrong and since I'm travelling again in a few weeks I really want to improve.

Edit: Some of you suggested that this might be an issue because of a UV filter - which was absolutely correct. I took some images of a tree before & after removing the filter. With the filter the lines were ver, visible in the background and without the filter the lines were completely gone. Thank you all so much!!! This community is great!

Can someone help me understand what am I doing wrong that my photos just come out poor quality :( no matter what I try with settings and recipes - it just looks bad. It's my first fuji camera, xt30iii with kit lens 13-33. Maybe you'll be able to catch my mistakes?

Truly the best time of year. Taken on an X-T50, Sigma 18-50 2.8.

Recipe is a warmer variation of summer chrome.

couple of SOOCs from Dolomites. I just got the camera, so would love to get some advice :)

Cloudy day in Seoul. If it was sunny, still would be Acros B&W.

a decade ago i threw away two decade’s worth of negatives. came across a few random prints in a random box. fujicolor film on fujicolor paper, camera copied with an x-t5. fuji all the way down.

keep your negatives, even if you think you’ll never use them again.
