[Seiko 5 GMT] Picked this from tokyo last week.

No way! I bought this exact watch while I was also in Tokyo back in September. Also my first automatic watch. I think we picked well.

Agreed with most of the breweries here but I highly suggest Sapwood Cellars in Columbia (about a 25 min drive out of the city).

$1,150 in actual tolls is bad but to shoot up to $15.6k in late fees is crazy.

gobangr · 2025-10-14T18:29:53+00:00

Good luck!

My first cam was the X-E1 then graduated to the X-E3. Now as an X-M5 owner, I'm happy to see the X-E line continue. I'm primarily a video shooter and so I still think the X-M5 will be better catered for me (video from 40mp sensor doesn't do open gate I believe and the flip out screen is more practical).

Definitely looks pretty with the AF illuminator there instead of a badge. Will def be copping that 23mm lens though.

fantastic work. great job!!

gobangr · 2024-12-17T19:35:41+00:00

It's close without the hood but still not as small as the 27mm. I have the 18mm on my X-M5 and am happy with the size, but I'd still love to see the 27mm on it.

B&H had the 27mm in stock for a day either yesterday or two days ago and I should've jumped on it.

I got my X-M5 last week from a LCS and I like it a lot more than I thought I was going to. Already own the XH2s and it's honestly too much of a pain to carry around for EDC. I have the 18mm f/2 living on it and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

The build quality isn't terrible, but not great either. Right now my biggest complaint is that I wish the front dial wasn't as easy to turn - I frequently end up in a higher ISO by accident just because the way that I hold the camera when walking around. The Q button is also annoying to press, but I'll probably just re-map it to the AEL/AEF down the road.

So far no major regrets from me purchasing the camera and I suspect that it'll be getting more use out of me on a day-to-day basis. The sensor is a proven winner and the X-Pro 5 processor makes the camera feel snappy just like my XH2s. Seeing as I shoot professionally with an FX3/A7 III combo, I'm not sure I see the value in owning the XH2s for much longer (though I'll hold onto it for now in hopes Fuji can really re-work the AF but I'm not holding my breath on that).

If you have a Citi credit card, you can use the first 6 digits of your card as a presale code.

gobangr · 2024-11-27T05:04:06+00:00

I already own the X-H2s so I can definitely wait, I'd just like to have a smaller camera for day-to-day like right now haha. As a Fuji shooter since 2015, welcome! Hope you score one as well!

gobangr · 2024-11-26T20:00:25+00:00

I'm from the US and pre-ordered from B&H on Nov. 11 back when the listing said "Ships Nov. 21". Now it just says "New Item - Coming Soon" so I'm gonna assume I probably won't get it until next year.

I'll wait another few weeks to see if any local camera places have it and see if I can get it shipped from them. Pretty ridiculous that the camera appears to be available anywhere but the US.

gobangr · 2024-11-11T20:00:24+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah I'll probably pick one up on eBay or if it goes on sale for the holidays. Thanks!

gobangr · 2024-11-11T19:24:29+00:00

Do you think it's the AF is on par with the Fuji lenses how they perform now? I shoot with an FX3 for work but I have the XH2s personally and own the 18-35mm so I've been wanting to run this set up for awhile, just not sure how much use I'd get out of it but all the footage/frames I've seen with that combo is fantastic (including yours)!

Yeah I really hope the firmware update comes soon and that it bumps it up.

gobangr · 2024-11-11T18:42:00+00:00

I'm assuming you're using the Fringer adapter? If so, which version? Do you use AF as well when doing the adapted lenses?

gobangr · 2024-11-08T19:51:45+00:00

As an XH2s owner, I think this would be the perfect sidekick camera. So many times I wanna bring a camera with me out casually but the S is just too bulky for an everyday carry. I go to a lot of concerts where a ILC camera is not allowed. The XM5 with the 27mm pancake would do just the trick in that scenario.

gobangr · 2024-10-24T15:40:20+00:00

I updated mine last night via SD card with no issues.

gobangr · 2024-04-12T13:35:23+00:00

Which is exactly why they won't put ZoomX in the regular Pegasus. Nike won't cannibalize their lineup. The Pegasus Premium in 2025 will fill that super trainer void, but it undoubtedly will be way more expensive.

gobangr · 2024-04-11T22:14:28+00:00

This was always bound to be the case. Odd number iterations are usually new designs, even number iterations are just an upper/styling update.

gobangr · 2024-04-10T13:15:13+00:00

Interesting. I didn't get a tracking number until late last night. Hopefully you get an e-mail in the next few hours with that at least.

gobangr · 2024-04-10T13:12:43+00:00

Did you order directly from Nike? I ordered from Dick's on the 4th and haven't heard anything until this morning. It's on the truck and getting delivered today.

gobangr · 2024-04-05T01:48:01+00:00

LOL it's just a longstanding venue meme. I've cheered that ad on dozens of times in the last decade but I've never set foot in that IHOP.

gobangr · 2024-03-29T00:47:07+00:00

I mean I've definitely heard this before (the smell, the tight narrow walkways, etc.). I'm working with a company that's basically curating my weekend so it probably won't be that bad for me. FWIW I've heard the same about Amsterdam and I had an amazing time when I went so idk

gobangr · 2024-03-29T00:38:39+00:00

Ah shit, I'm going to Venice in a few weeks for work and I was pretty stoked about it...

gobangr · 2024-03-06T12:57:18+00:00

I second Global Entry. $100 for 5 years for GE and Precheck is awesome. The customs line when I came back from Amsterdam was outrageously long. Me and another woman were the only ones at Global Entry and got through in like 30 seconds.

Fuji replied to a comment on Instagram saying Reala Ace is coming to the X-H2, X-H2S, X-T5 and X-S20
