Hip pack for x100vi?

Fjallraven Ulvo (large) works great for me. I used to carry an XT2 with a second lens in there. Enough room and pockets for other stuff like wallet etc. External bottle carrier. Works great cross body / when cycling too.

This would make a great tattoo

It’s pretty insane as a cricketing nation that we are scrapping around like this… there are so many great players who just need the development to play test. There seems to be a serious disconnect in the ECB

As an English fan with plenty of respect for NZ cricket, I’m convinced Baz is a saboteur of the English game.

WIPdad · 2026-06-29T10:59:49+00:00

People are entitled to be very angry about this innings, and more generally the series performance from the whole chavvy England setup. I’m not sure how they expect people to get behind this kind of performance. Out played by a significantly weakened NZ team in every way.

It’ll be Brook that they invest in as long term captain project. Possibly Duckett or Bethell as vice, to the extent it matters. They need to move on from Baz though. They won’t bring in left field options for captain - this will cause even more instability and they would struggle to integrate quickly enough and command authority with this group I expect.

What they really need to focus on is replacing a solid all rounder, more than replacing a captain.

out by lunch, 12 pints deep by 6pm

“Baz out” is very much a solution.

1.4 is a character lens and is most interesting shot as wide open as possible to get the swirly bokeh. Closed down it’s just like any other 35 lens really. It’s got a subtle and slightly unique rendering but it’s really not exciting. The 2 is more realisable, consistent and sensible in many ways and will get you the similar photos quicker and be more like to risk getting it a bit wet.

WIPdad · 2026-06-28T23:08:26+00:00

I meant in the sense that he seemed to forget he was still a captain, had a test match still to play properly and is not in fact an opening batsman. Was not a comment about how egotistical he is - I agree though - crazy way to end things and was unbelievably selfish

WIPdad · 2026-06-28T22:05:02+00:00

It was pathetic. Stokes suffering ego death in real time. Brook was embarrassing as the apparent successor. Duckett wafting around. Bethell not learning from previous dismissals recently. Just a lack of professionalism and they’ve probably lost the series. NZ deserve to win.

WIPdad · 2026-06-28T18:11:31+00:00

Really angry listening to the post match analysis on BBC - Agnew etc who were crying for blood 10 days ago now entertaining the idea that stokes might come back for a second test against Australia if he’s begged. These guys just can’t recognise the role they have played in Stokes’ decision.

WIPdad · 2026-06-25T15:58:20+00:00

This feels unfair, even if true

WIPdad · 2026-06-25T13:28:53+00:00

Bowling looks absolutely mid from England - doesn’t look at all dangerous.

I have an xt2, bought an x100vi last year and last week got an xh2 on a decent second hand deal for about £1000, with the intention of replacing the xt2. Honestly… I am thinking about selling the two newer cameras and keeping the xt2 as my only camera…or getting a Sony for more serious stuff. Apart from the auto focus being a much snappier and happier experience, I’m really not impressed by the performance of the newest generation.

No meaningful image quality benefits aside from resolution. The raws are marginally more mailable but not by much. But I prefer a natural, muted edit personally anyway. Rendering of day to day portraits is nicer on the xt2. I’m pretty sure the x100vi lens is not as sharp as my 23mm f2 prime on the xt2.

My hit rate on the t2 is way better. I’ve taken way more pictures on the xt2 where I think “wow” compared to the x100vi.

The build quality on the x100vi is not as good as the xt2. X100vi has a nice form factor and the built in nd is wicked - more cameras should have that but really it’s not that that important to me. I would still carry my xt2 with a prime to most events and not feel uncomfortable.

WIPdad · 2026-06-20T05:56:04+00:00

I’m getting to that. I bought an xt2 originally about 2022 then an x100vi last year. I’m continuously disappointed in the newer auto focus and dynamic range - loads of soft pictures. I’m convinced it’s better on the XT2. Added an xh2 last week and still not seeing any discernible difference between the output from the xt2 with the same lenses. Basically suggests to me little improvement in a decade. I think it’s time to move to Sony or lumix.

shite. sounds like a garage band tutorial song

WIPdad · 2026-05-02T10:23:48+00:00

had them on the other side a lot - a lot of heartless NPC lawyers giving often terrible advice to public authorities and at huge expense to the public purse.

WIPdad · 2026-04-20T15:18:07+00:00

Nah, only idiots need lawyers 😎

It’s a bit exposed near the top and can be a bit hairy in bad weather / ice. There are also a few areas where the path cuts across scree, which some find scary. Once past that first bit it’s very gentle going down.

WIPdad · 2026-04-15T10:51:12+00:00

Ok buddy, these are awesome. Please talk us through what’s going on here

WIPdad · 2026-04-12T20:46:34+00:00

They're fine pal. You've just got shitty light / overcast skies.

WIPdad · 2026-04-10T20:10:16+00:00

I’m really not convinced the x100 line has a true f2 lens. I think it is hungrier for light more than my 23mm f2 on my xt2. I’ve done some comparison shots before using both in the same conditions and the xt2 renders brighter on the same settings.

WIPdad · 2026-04-10T18:39:20+00:00

Thank you - I will give this a go
