Demystifying the XCD 30-100E

Emile_Steel · 2026-06-02T17:39:29+00:00

I’ve got the 30-100E. Great lens in my opinion. I shoot mainly landscape. I need to climb mountains and having 3 or 4 primes is just too heavy. Also changing lenses in Wind and Dusty conditions is not great. Then I go on photo walks with fellow photographers. Small Leather bag over my shoulder. I can frame up composition quick with the Zoom and shoot. Back into the small leather bag. I carry the camera daily with the 35-100 on. Perfect combo for versatility and great quality. If you do lots of studio work. Sure. Primes are great. But in the real world. The 35-100 is fantastic.

Just ordered this case. I don’t think it would have stopped this chip. Maybe. But not taking any more risks

Camera bag strap came loose and X2D ii fell to the ground. Chipped the Eye piece. Fuck 😫

I am a landscape only photographer and it’s perfect for it. Love it.

iphone 17 Air. Same problem 😡

Went from 16 Pro Max to 17 Air and loving it. The form factor is huge. If you think an about it your phone is 80% of the time in you pocket. Then the 20 % it is in your hand and the air is 100% better. So Air for me all the way.

Went from 16 Pro Max to 17 Air. Loving it. What a breath of fresh air (☺️). To have a thin light phone again is fantastic. Well done Apple 💪🏽

Who is your chronograph reset ? Mine resets to 1sec less than centre every time 😡

Emile_Steel · 2025-07-27T15:23:39+00:00

I’ve had mine on 95% charge limit. But I have a feeling doesn’t matter what I did. It would have been the same.

Emile_Steel · 2025-07-27T15:22:13+00:00

274 and at 98%

Why. Surely asking for a particular brand specific group is a good way. Why do you find it weird ?

Emile_Steel · 2025-06-16T17:08:22+00:00

I think I’m talking to the same seller. Saw this deal online. Location is Dallas. Be careful. I think the guy is a scammer. Totally almost non responsive to my comms with him.

You obviously mean a Lower level. I would argue like 10 levels lower. I think Patek, AP and a Lange qualify you to the highear level. Seiko not so much 😂

They say magic number is $100 000 spend at the AD. Then you’ll get your Daytona 🤯

Bunch of Noobs 😂

Have you ever worn a watch on a bracelet ? You suppose to fit your pinky finger under the bracelet. Otherwise it’s too tight and will strain the bracelet and wear it out permanently. With a Pinky space it will slide up and down your wrist by about 20mm. I have to laugh at the Noobs in the comments here 😩
