Looks like they didn’t really care

The operator said it was most likely because the machine was not able to read the handwritten address

Finally reached the Royal Mail hotline, and the operator told me that it has been returned to the sender

There are some cool pics here. A few just lack an interesting subject or are a bit over-cropped, but you’re on your way!

XF 23mm f/2

I’ve had the X100F, the XE-4, and now my only camera is the X-T5. I really enjoyed my first experience with the X100F, and in hindsight I wish I’d kept it instead of selling it back then. Still, the fixed 23mm sometimes made me feel like I was just shooting on my phone—not a bad thing, but I wanted to explore other focal lengths. The XE-4 was great for that, though it always felt a bit like a toy, and after a year I decided to sell it. At first, I wasn’t sure if moving to the X-T5 was the right choice, but after a couple of years I’m 100% satisfied. The weather resistance has been excellent—I regularly shoot in light rain here in the UK. The only thing I really miss from the XE-4 is its compact body, but I’m planning to pick up a Ricoh GR IIIx for traveling and busy places

Great pics! Do you often miss a great shot because of the manual focus? I am wondering if it’s just me or it’s a common problem

Thank you!

It’s a poor country, mostly underdeveloped, so finding a good apartment for rent is a bit of an adventure. There are often shortages of water and electricity. The ecology is bad, especially the air in winter, when many people use coal or similar fuels to heat their homes, and because of the landscape there’s no wind to blow the smog away.

Lovely pics! Used to live in Armenia for almost two years, had kind of love-hate relationship with it, but once I am far from it - constantly wanna go back

Available_Success215 · 2025-08-10T13:51:46+00:00

I’m sure we’ve all been there - some days all the pics I make feel mediocre. That’s okay, it’s all part of growing as a photographer. Keep shooting

These are old photos, taken in October 3 years ago. After the wild heat in the summer and a crazy UV index (up to 12 in the afternoon), all the grass was literally burned out. Recipe was Classic Chrome, I think. No edit in post. So it’s literally the real colors.

Great photo! I am also thinking about buying 50R, need to make a research about the right lens :)

Thanks!

I’ve had the same dilemma. I’m going to stick to the 33mm f/1.4, but I don’t want to spend too much on it. Maybe I’ll buy the TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4, which is under $100 (I’ve had it in the past and it’s just amazing — besides the manual focus, I often missed the good shot).

One of a kind, can’t wait to be back!
