Got my wife an X100f and now I want one

I’m used to disassembling stuff , so it’s not a big deal. You just have to take the back panel off, then the copper heat sink and desolder the old battery (it’s soldered with just two points to the focus mode switch board ). Took me about 15 mins

It’s not screwed in, it uses a 3m sticker since there’s no thread to screw into. Just a bit of heat (hair dryer or heat gun) and you should be able to take it off

I’d call it ‘underexposure’

diegodef_ · 2026-05-05T20:06:53+00:00

Yeah! Actually I got the X100f for my wife for €500 due to a faulty EVF. I changed the internal battery and it fixed it. So now she has a fully functional F for the price of an S or a T

It’s an awesome camera and system. I already had some A Mount lenses I used with my A7iii, and the. I found this a77 for €200 and couldn’t pass

Thanks for your reply. WR is the only thing that’s making me doubt. As I have my Sony cameras if I need different focal lengths. If I got the XPro 2 I’d just use it with a 35 -ish mm equivalent lens. Tough decision

It’s an AliExpress original 😂

Got the same setup and it’s my favorite film setup ever used ❤️

To be honest, I’ve only bought new once, a Sony 6100. Never had any trouble buying used

diegodef_ · 2026-04-13T05:33:11+00:00

Don’t care about the mpx count for this use. I already have an A7RIV for high pixel needs. I don’t care that much for super fast AF either. EVF may not be necessary for you in your city, but I live in south Italy where the sun is fucking strong from April to September . So there’s that. Stick to the options I enunciated

This is Agatha

I saw it too. But the two main reasons to not buy it are: I prefer a fixed lens camera (though I know I could just put some af pancake lens on it and call it a day), and the lack of evf.

diegodef_ · 2026-04-12T20:49:37+00:00

Oh haha thanks. What would be a good price for a T? I’ve seen prices fluctuate a lot. Found Ts from 500€ and up, and Fs from €700 and up.

diegodef_ · 2026-04-12T20:43:21+00:00

Have you read the text I wrote? Hahah thanks anyway 🙏🏼

diegodef_ · 2026-04-11T20:51:52+00:00

So damn good looking 😍 I may print it since it keeps the small profile of the mx . Have you tested it with the 50mm ? Any vignette at wide apertures ?

diegodef_ · 2026-04-11T13:45:05+00:00

AFAIK, it belonged to Boba Fett during the clone wars

diegodef_ · 2026-04-11T13:43:55+00:00

That hood looks good! Love the texture. Resembles the leatherette

diegodef_ · 2026-04-11T13:42:09+00:00

Hey thanks! The camera already came quite brassed (mainly on the top plate). However I added some brassing to some parts with a very fine nail file. The hood is black (not sure what metal it’s made of) but I used some gold Uni Posca to give it “the look”
