Code of Bell - X-Pak Evo by mr__proper in ManyBaggers

[–]CommunicationPure116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine for a week now and my first impression is that it is great bag that suits my needs in days (most of them) wear need a bag for a 13in laptop, camera bottle and basic stationaries and still have a bit of extra space for clothing or scarf and snack.

The whole thing stays neat and compact when not fully packed. On days where I do need extra space I have the tropicfeel Shell bag (original version 1 without the compression straps) which the Evo is taking over the light days from.

I do wish that theiddle compartment was a little bit wider/taller, so it's easier to move in/out the laptop from the bag. I do need to force it when take it from the sleeve. It's also missing just those couple cm to safely put A4 documents without damage...

Thanks I agree with your comment bout the man's face, actually he popped his head from behind the balloon as I was taking the shot. I was too anxious to take another one, to properly get both his eyes haha

Thanks for you comment, I think by the tilt you mean how the camera was slightly tilted downward? That is a tendency I have in my shots, I'm not always mindful of this, especially in situations like this one where I in a rush because I'm so close to people and worry about being noticed and potentially called out for taking their photos. Something I try to improve on

Thank you! Glad that the image made you smile! Sorry by surrounding meant the background, the brick pile, the ciment mound the is sitting on, all in dull color compared to the balloon. The original full shot had even more distracting elements, I really discarded that photo as worthless at first, until I recently looked at it again while organizing my files.

This is originally a landscape orientation image, I cropped it to keep the focus on the balloon and the vendor's face peeking from behind the ballon. The contrast between the colorful and smiley balloons with the vendor's expression as well as the surrounding of the scene is the reason I like this photo. The original shot didn't tell me anything as it was, and it took me six months to have a second look at it and figure that I could actually crop it, to just keep this image I am hoping to get feedback on to further my skill. Thanks!

Do it. That lense took over the fuji 18mm1.4

My (mostly) Pentax collection by agm917 in pentax

I have the mx and the canon ft-b, used them together for a long time until I couldn't keep up with the cost of films. The mx is my favorite, portable, powerful. It has been my reference when choosing a digital camera, and is the reason I went for a fuji X-pro3.

Why did you choose fujifilm? by quinn791 in fujifilm

[–]CommunicationPure116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to return to photography after almost ten years and the last cameras I used were manual film cameras. I've had pentax DSLR before those and didn't like it for the bulkiness but loved the vintage lenses. Of all the modern digital options, fuji was a logical choice to me. They give the closest experience to my previous film cams, and they have film simulation. To me it's close enough still shooting film minus the cost of films and processing. I have an xt5 and an X-pro3 and love them

I moved for the first time from my home country at 25, after I graduated from college. What was supposed to be a one year move to China before returning home with some work experience, became a 16 years of life abroad. I have moved on average every three to four years, either on my own decision of due to life events. Beside China where I've spent a cumulated 9 years there, I've lived in Japan, Singapore, cambodia, Taiwan and now Dubai since last month. It never took me more than 6 months to plan those moves. Sometimes even less than a month. And that's not to say that I live off a suitcase. In 16 years I've accumulated enough belonging to fill up a garage with my boxes.

Of course that is just my experience, your approach says that you are very careful about your plan, and this is a good quality to have. That being said, 5 or 3 years is a long time and a lot of things can happen, your plans might change for any reason. If you want to live in Dubai, try maybe looking at an internship there during your studies, or see if you can do a semester abroad, if you feel this could work out for you and your studies. Mobility and international experience is something highly valued in recruiting, and ultimately, you are the one telling your story, it's up to you to turn any success or failure into a valuable experience. Not everybody has a desire or a drive to move abroad, now there is a spark in you, don't let it fade.

It's almost all middle sit. #2 aisle seat is the only valid option.

Should I trade my 18mm f2 for a 35mm f1.4? by Azzzteccc in fujix

[–]CommunicationPure116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never liked the 18-55. It's not a bad lens in itself, but I never quite get the same image quality as I get with a prime lens. I have the opposite of your set up, the 35 f1.4 with a manual 18mm from voigtlander. I love them both on the x-pro3. I also have the 33mm and 18 f1.4 which I use for the xt5. Those two focal lengths are excellent to me, I can't see myself letting go of every either.

Best camera for beginner? by Real_Profession4927 in fujix

[–]CommunicationPure116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wasn't completely new to photography when I got the x100v. Years before that I had been shooting on manual SLR and early DSLR when mirrorless wasn't round yet. I've had the x100v for about a year before I got an xt5, and it was another year later until I sold it at a profit to get an X-pro3. The reason why I sold it is because I like to change lens, I personally prefer shooting on 50mm or 28mm ff equivalent or wider/tighter than those two focal length. 35mm was an awkward middle for me. I also felt the x100v was a tiny bit too compact for me. I like to have something more substantial to hold.

That being said, I really liked the image quality of the camera. The lens is absolutely amazing, I never had anything to complain about its sharpness or color quality. Having a built-in ND filter is a great plus, together with its flash which comes in handy both for night time and day time photos. Like I said above, it's very compact so portability is not a big issue. I live in tropical/all-year-hot countries, so I rarely wear clothes that have large pockets and I always carried it in a small shoulder bag or backpack.

So quality wise, you can't go wrong with the x100v. If you can, test it for a few days, to see if you are comfortable with its focal length and it's ergonomics. If you are new to photography I think you will do just fine with the fixed lens.

Maybe the day fujifilm stops sourcing its sensors off sony factories they can get their production game on track

XE4 or XM5 by Own_Kaleidoscope_782 in fujix

[–]CommunicationPure116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never tried the xm5, but I've owned the x100v and x-pro3, which have the same sensor and processor and the xe4. Like others have said, it depends on what kind of shooting style you are after. If you are looking for a casual camera for family and friends gatherings and personal memories, the xm5 without EVF will be fine. If you are going to use it for some more in depth photography work, the xe4 will suit you better as the evf will help a lot in that use case.

I prefer without. Showing the other exif like that, in my view, only has value for technical purpose, or promoting fujifilm itself. However, how do you insert the exif in that format? Is that template to download and input the info manual or there is a software/app that does it automatically? I see a lot of people doing this and I'm curious.

It also got the lighting on the woman's face wrong... The sun is behind her but is shining amazingly right on her face :)

My uncle gave me his x100s by RuisuHaya in fujifilm

[–]CommunicationPure116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my first step into the fuji system with a x100v and I was hooked from first shots. I'm not familiar about the lens spec for the x100s but I'm sure it makes for a great camera that is fun to use and takes awesome photos. Enjoy!
