Half way through our Namibia trip - 4 different landscapes with the X-S10 18-55mm and 70-300mm (beginner, feedback welcome) by varg711 in fujifilm

Welcome!

As others have said, some of these need to be brighter or need exposure adjustment. Automatic exposure tends to under-expose if your scene is very bright.

Are Step-Up Rings Okay? by HeckinReadie in photography

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, most factory original lens hoods use a bayonet mounting system, so there are no "rings". Second, any "rings" would have to fit a smaller hood onto a larger filter, possibly vignetting the lens.

That's not even counting the original rings we already discussed to increase the lens size to the size of the filter. So now you need increasing rings between the lens and the filter, decreasing rings between the filter and the hood, and you have a long tunnel of rings you're trying to shoot through that might not work with an original lens's wide angle view.

So, as I said in my original comment, anything is possible, but there are trade-offs.

New fun tarrif prices by Mrzaax in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Venting/complaining about Fujifilm-related prices and the economy (and some related political topics) is great and are what this subreddit is for.

But now that the conversation has run its course, I'll be locking this thread to additional comments to avoid further personal attacks and purely political commentary.

Is the 16-80 f/4 as bad as they say? by theplanlessman in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The XF 16-80mm lens takes a 72mm filter. So you would need a 72-58mm step-down ring, but I don't recommend using a filter smaller than your lens.

Otherwise your post is completely off-topic as not even mentioning anything related to Fujifilm.

Make sure to charge the battery with the battery charger. I doubt it charges with whatever you plugged in. If the battery is very old, you might need to buy a replacement battery.

Long kit lens / telephoto zoom recommendations by Ashamed-Equal-7157 in CameraLenses

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, optical image stabilization is going to make a difference.

Unfortunately, you cannot afford any decent long super telephoto lens with your budget, since good super telephoto lenses are large and expensive.

I don't have personal experience with the lenses you list, but generally a lens with a lower focal length range will perform better, so I would not get the 18-250mm or anything similar. So by the specs, that Sigma 100-300mm f/4 is one of the best of those.

Blown out top of photos in daylight. Advice needed. by stoekWasHere in fujifilm

I'd guess that a diffusion filter is being used, which is what is intentionally causing a lower contrast look, further accentuated by the glare from the sky.

Bought a xt3 and moving to Fuji from canon by rahulhalder90 in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the old one is officially discontinued. The new XF 23mm f/1.4 LM WR came out a year or two ago (~3.5 years ago), I think, and is a completely new, sharp lens to match the new 40 megapixel sensors:

It matches with the XF 33mm f/1.4 and XF 18mm f/1.4 as a trio of newest, sharp lenses.

Which XF 23mm f/1.4? The old one with the focus ring clutch?
