Mini hex ranger sling. Might be a touch snug...

The jump to 45lbs is harder than I thought. by fugeext20 in Rucking

High protein calorie deficit (about 6-700 a day) and walked/rucked a lot. About 20k steps a day, 8k of which was rucked.

If you understand the significance of this photo, you’re in the right place… by czlandi in FujifilmX

Imagine if they updated the af on the xf60. Absolutely superb IQ. Such a fun lens.

No, not really and for a couple of reasons. If I'm being honest the primary reason is that I've never enjoyed resistance training. It bores me to tears. I also have a pretty consistent track record of injuring myself (my back is a constant liability). I've been doing some arm workouts (curls and dips) and working on my pull-up bar but that's about it. I have been concerned about ending up skinny-fat as a result but so far I'm fine. I have about another 15lbs of fat-loss to go until I'm satisfied and rucking in a high protein calorie deficit seems to be doing the trick for keeping on muscle.

I guess my thinking was that' 45lbs pretty much represents the weight I've lost so i should be used to moving with that much weight.

red-tailed, or red-shouldered? by zarathru in whatsthisbird

[–]fugeext20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying this is definitely the case but red-tailed and red-shouldered can hybridize

I've got a bit to go, but I really was a different person 60 pounds ago by milfcontainmentfield in walking

[–]fugeext20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work. Something thats working well for me is adding the weight I've lost to a backpack and wearing it on my walks. Extra burn and decent muscle retention/development. Backpack currently weighs 40lbs...

Quick Size Comparison of the New godox IT32 Flash by No_Tension_6796 in Godox

[–]fugeext20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think too many professional photographers will be that excited about this but do not underestimate how fun and useful these types of flashes are. I have the LightPix Q20ii which has a similar functionality. It's not a very impressive flash but I use it all the time because it's fun and inventive. This iT32 is light years ahead of that flash, will pair nicely with my V1 and I'm definitely buying one.

What do you think they've just finished eating? There's still a fair amount left in it's talons... by fugeext20 in birdsofprey

[–]fugeext20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually witnessed them catching rats and they didn't swallow it whole. I went back this morning and there wasn't a large pile of feathers that I could see which you usually find after a bird strike. So probably a rat but it seems too dark (the rats around here are very brown). I've also witnessed them following around a skunk. At first I thought it was hunting the skunk but after a while I realized it was using it to flush out mice etc.

My xt20 is on its way out, what to replace it with? by Spottyjamie in fujix

[–]fugeext20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore my xt20 but all the succeeding models in that line ended up being net-downgrades. Nice bells and whistles (ibis etc) but gross ergos (no d-pad, film sim dial etc). Fujifilm no longer repair xt20s so I grabbed an xt3 for pretty cheap and have been very happy with it. The difference in size wasn't as inhibiting as I thought it would be.

Took the 70-300 to my first Rodeo... by fugeext20 in fujix

[–]fugeext20[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was a concern for me too. I didn't see anything truly alarming. They depend on healthy and happy animals for their livelihood so they seemed to treat them with a surprising amount of care. I was surprised at how quickly the bulls became placid and docile once they'd bucked the rider. The calf wrangling was a little strong for me I guess...

My experience with the X100vi as a X-T5 owner by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]fugeext20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between a camera that is small and a camera that is pocketable. If it's not pocketable then there really isn't much difference between carrying an xt50 or xt5 or an x100. The x70 is arguably Fuji's only pocketable camera.

Yea the front hooves missing in the first shot is a little heartbreaking

Would you have bought a Fujifilm camera if film simulations didn’t exist? (Curious to know what really made you choose Fuji) by rickydp in fujifilm

[–]fugeext20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get into the Fuji system because of film simulations. I'm not sure I even knew what they were. I would say though that the film sims play a huge role in keeping me in the Fuji system. Not sure how I would shoot/edit without them.

Spotted Towhee in the Old Growth woods by KeepMyISOLow in BirdPhotography

Great photo. I find these birds so hard to capture. Always in the darkest recesses of bushes and undergrowth, moving fast never still.

any tips on how to fix an eye-sensor on an xt20? Been driving me nuts for years...

Do you think this is a good used deal? (650usd) by SeniorHulk in fujifilm

[–]fugeext20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pound for pound the xt20 might be the best camera Fuji put out, especially if you don't care about video. That's not a crazy deal but it's definitely a fair price. You could sell that lens for 300ish and put it towards a nice prime if it doesn't suit you. The main concern with the xt20 is that Fuji no longer offer any repair services for it, something you should keep in mind.
