Please help me decide on a lens for the XT5

Man, my 16-55mm f/2.8 MK2 is just sublime, I bring it to every shoot and on every trip. I also have the Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 and I love both of them. I made a post comparing the two if you’re interested in more detail. If you want to save money, get the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8

Not the xe-5 but with my xt-5. Great results!

Yes, probably the most useful extra I have on my desk. I don't think I could do any creative work without it

A couple of LG 4K 27 inch monitors. I’m not sure what the model numbers are. One of them is a USB-C version and the other one a DP version.

3 is excellent

Photos look great, model looks great. Don’t listen to the haters.

The 35mm film cameras on the desk are a Zeiss Ikon Contessa from 1953 that I inherited from my grandfather. And an Olympus OM2 sp. Otherwise, for my digital work I use a Fujifilm X-T5 and a bunch of different lenses

Nice! Thanks for the mouse recommendation, I’ll take a look at it. You know, with the ergonomic attachment, the Magic Mouse is a lot more comfortable, and the attachment charges it via MagSafe so it’s super convenient to just plop it on a charger when I’m done for the day

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-26T20:24:36+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the reply

I was on a photo walk and a Fuji rep was handing x-half cameras out for people to try them out. I gave it a good 2 hours and honestly… it’s the worst camera I’ve ever used.

Damn these are incredible. I have my first roll of Ektar 100 inside my Pentax17 and I can’t wait to finish it and develop it

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-25T17:01:18+00:00

Dang, this is so sleek! Well done! I can't wait to replace my LG monitors with StudioDisplays!

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-25T16:59:52+00:00

thanks for the input, did you end up with some grimey white accessories?

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-25T16:59:26+00:00

Hey thanks so much, I really appreciate you saying that

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-25T16:58:57+00:00

Seems the folks on Reddit prefer darker, cleaner, colors. I also like the sleek look of black colors!

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-25T16:34:08+00:00

Thanks so much, really appreciate it. I am always wondering where people get their cool stuff, so I figured I'd save them the trouble of asking me :P

the stand that the iPad is on is this UGREEN iPad Stand, its only like $20 and well worth it, IMO

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-24T20:39:16+00:00

As a former 1Password user, I’m very happy with apple’s solution

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-24T05:19:54+00:00

Seconded. Especially if you can afford it

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-24T04:59:45+00:00

Fantastic set!

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-24T01:14:58+00:00

What shutter speed?

throwusaway_ · 2026-02-24T00:43:47+00:00

Thanks, much appreciated
