Fairfield Horseshoe, Fuji X100T with WCL
« on: January 11, 2015, 11:26:58 am »

Hi,

I've recently taken the decision to pair my kit right down, now going with just the Fuji X100T and the WCL and TCL adaptors. Really enjoying the focus this has brought to my photogrpahy, although I can quite understand why others might see it as a slightly mad decision!

Still, I've been enjoying the results so far. Thought I'd share this image taken in the UK Lake District whilst going around the Fairfield Horseshoe - a popular walk starting from Ambleside. I've yet to get a 49mm adaptor for my Lee Filter kit, so had to do without a graduated filter, but was pleased with the way the sensor handled the dynamic range in a single shot.




Thanks for looking, some more images from the same walk here: Blog Post


Andrew.

Andy, I've pretty much done the same with my X100s, and it did quite nicely over Crinkle Crags & Bow Fell. When I'm walking & want to take some photos (as opposed to walking to take photos), that's going to be it for me. The DSLR & lenses are reduced to photography-specific outings.

Nice set of photos BTW

Really nice, especially the depth.

Do you think their are advantages with the x100T over the x100s?  I've been eyeing this setup myself.

Hi,

Thanks for the comments.

MadDog - I've never used the X100S, only the X100 - from which it's a massive upgrade.

Of the new 100T features though the things I've found useful are:

  • WiFi - nice to be able to transfer images to my ipad easily if I want to (only JPG mind)
  • EVF - don't know how much of an upgrade it is compared to the x100s, but compared to the x100 it's vastly better, and really enjoyable to shoot with even in high contrast light.
  • +/- 3 stop exp compensation. Whilst using exposure preview in the EVF I find it easy to shoot in aperture priority and then ride the exp compensation dial as required. There have been a few times where having +/- 3 stops (comapared with 2on the x100 and x100s), has been really useful.
  • Direct selection of AF point using the D-Pad on the back. Once set-up I've found this a really quick way of moving the af point around, although you do lose function buttons in doing so.

The new mini EVF pop-up in the the OVF is nice, but to be honest I haven't really used it in anger.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Stunning view ! I love traveling feather lite in the woods, one camera and one lens and a good
walking stick and I am good to go, very freeing.
