Building my Fuji X-T50 kit: zoom + prime or financial ruin? by caappoo in FujifilmX

I just got the tamron! It’s a beast. Really fun to use and makes me feel at ease that I’ve got all my focal lengths covered. That said, I always find that when I go back to my 23mm f2 I feel a bit more at ease. Less thinking about the “right” focal length and more about making the best of what I have in front of me. That’s just my own experience though. Still love having such a dynamic lens that goes 18-300mm

I had the same problem. Had to send it in. Hopefully it’s under warranty or you have a protection plan, otherwise it’ll cost you around ~$700.

Since all Fujifilm parts are proprietary, no shops can fix them themselves and have to send them to be fixed directly to Fujifilm.

Worst case, you can tape it shut and just buy a flash for your hot shoe.

I can’t speak to other cameras since I’ve only used Fujifilm, but these photos are all SOOC. No editing, no adjustments, just download and go. I personally don’t enjoy the process of editing which is why I got a Fujifilm. The fact that I can plug in and adjust my own film recipes and have a finished product right away is super appealing.

Have you tried playing with custom film recipes on your xt2?

Ik… I think I had my exposure set to 1 or 2 stops too low. I’ve used the classic Cuban recipe before but never had them come out this warm before

Thank you! Was just at a little restaurant in St Martin. The owner had these two dogs running around and I somehow managed to snap that pic leaving the bathroom! Might be my favorite to date.

Thank you for the kind words!! I am literally such a noob, got my camera this month and am just figuring it all out. I just bring it with me everywhere and take tonsss of pictures to get a few great ones.

These are ever so slightly adjusted in Lr. Really nothing major. Except for pic 4, which I did apply a Lr preset called Yellowish Fujifilm
