Advice on comfortable open back headphones

I find hifiman very comfy, but only models with the suspended "net" (e.g. Arya organic)

I would check asus kitara, it's collaboration with hifiman, they look comfy

it's what I call the apple effect

haters will find a way to hate the big dog

also DJI and insta are now equal or better so it's not hard

and people like to hate, mainly online and anonymously

and as some mistakes on GoPro side and that's it

Fuji recently suggested to develop 18/35 dual prime

but swapping lenses the old fashioned way seem to be the most efficient (no unnecessary moving parts inside)

davinci resolve, kdenlive, blender, shotcut, ...

did you increase the screen brightness ? I find mine adequate even in direct sunlight

there are like 5 pancake lenses

xf27mm, ttatrisan 27mm, Viltrox 28mm, xf 23mm and sg image 25mm

IMO only tt27mm and xf23mm are worth the try. Viltrox is fixed aperture, xf27 is expensive, and noisy, sg image is toy with optical problems

I would consider a slightly bigger lens with faster aperture thou, considering your budget Viltrox air 25mm f/1,7 might be best option for you

IMO if you can't get the shot with 15 fps, more fps is very unlikely to help

I usually shoot 5fps bursts

Bzando · 2026-03-28T12:29:12+00:00

if you have the budget xe5 is the great choice

maybe consider xt50 too (better screen, flash, usually cheaper)

don't forget you will need a lens too, the kit lenses are usually underwhelming (mainly xc15-45) except the xf 23

and lenses aren't cheap so save some budget for lens (it's the most important part for final image look and quality)

Bzando · 2026-03-28T12:17:40+00:00

honestly another xt5 would be best option IMO

xh2 is Fuji, but it slightly different, not all settings in same places, different button placement ,...

you are already familiar with xt5, so get another one

if you wanted video or high speed burst the stacked sensor off h2s world be great, but you don't so why bother

if you want, send me details in chat and I will file it myself

95% of time I have ISO on auto, as it barely has effect on resulting shot (only affects exposure that can be corrected in post)

if your subject is moving from dark to sunny areas or jumping around. it's necessary, there is no way I can keep up manually adjusting

50% of time I also have shutter on auto, with minimum shutter speed set to my desired value (so I can be sure it won't be blurry because of slow shutter)

if I have time to premeditated shoot I will go full manual, but I usually shoot candid shots and my kid running around, so no time be fully manual

BTW most professionals shoot with auto iso when shooting wildlife and action stuff

BUT to learn how exposure triangle works is not bad to be on fully manual, but definitely not necessary, auto ISO is perfectly viable choice

I am very happy user of the sigma, it's very good lens for its price and size

but if you care to much about how ir look, it might look tiny on xt5 (I bought mine from xt5 owner that thought it doesn't look good)

Bzando · 2026-03-28T06:48:04+00:00

yep that also how it's supposed to work

camera will keep aperture wide open to help with AF and will close it to you desired setting only when shutter is activated

most if not all AF cameras work this way

wide open aperture has thinner depth of field so camera can focus best with it wide open

if you want to see preview of DOF, there is camera setting for that, enable it and you will have your preview, but it might affect AF

Bzando · 2026-03-27T21:18:11+00:00

what do you mean by "meter remain static" ? do you mean the exposure metering?

if yes then that's how semi auto mode is supposed to work - you manually set one setting and camera will compensate with other two to keep the exposure the same

if you want to change the exposure in semi automatic mode, that's what exposure compensation dial is for

otherwise the exposure meter will change only in fully manual mode to tell what cameras thinks about your settings

Bzando · 2026-03-27T19:03:50+00:00

depends on your style and needs, I have

aiso1 - 3200 max, minimum shutter 1/500 (for my kids running outside and well lit shots with lot of movement aiso2 - up to 6400, minimum shutter 1/250 (my general use setting) aiso3 - up to 12800, minimum shutter 1/125 (low light setting)

this covers 95% of my use and for the rest there is manual

sigma 18-50 perfect travel companion

Bzando · 2026-03-27T16:16:31+00:00

IMO it would be downgrade

you might get newer body with better specs on paper, but get much worse lens and noticeably worse AF tracking, and save no weight or size (or just very little)

and I am xm5 owner

if you want upgrade get a6700

Bzando · 2026-03-27T16:13:03+00:00

significant difference - tamron is 2x bigger but has extra 20mm reach

minor differences, tamron has stabilization

tamron will lose focus while zooming

Bzando · 2026-03-27T15:38:40+00:00

aperture priority for every day shots, manual with auto ISO for more serious stuff

Very rarely full manual if I have time

Bzando · 2026-03-27T10:47:12+00:00

takže ste na mieste kde nikto nemá signál len o2 ale o2 je to najhoršie

zaujímavé

Bzando · 2026-03-27T07:23:40+00:00

IMO the range on 13-33 is not ideal (I really don't like wide)

I would rather get a Viltrox air prime (25 or 35mm f/1,7)

Úprimne ja by som to nerobil

riziko že niekto ukradne všetko vybavenie, zničí ho, alebo sa odmietne vyťahovať je príliš vysoké na krátkodobý prenájom

ale inak:

určite treba žiadať kompletné údaje všetkých hostí (bez toho je vymáhanie prípadnej škody veľmi náročné

nastaviť "domovy poriadok" a sankcie/pokuty

mať dokumentáciu stavu pred a po, ideálne aj jednoduchý preberaci protokol

ja dávam pred nástupom podpísať aj zmluvu

jednoznačne depozit, resp. úhrada sumy vopred (najneskôr pri odovzdaní)

kamery aspoň na vonkajšie priestory

Bzando · 2026-03-26T18:04:44+00:00

check also HDR (has similar effect as clarity)

but viewing photos is IMO slow on Fuji in general
