X-T3 with a newly acquired 7artisans 12/2.8 ... first test spin and quite a bit of fun.

Absolutely beautiful rendering. it reminds me of an Impressionist painting - the light and the bokeh are wonderful.

That's gorgeous.

Very nice results. I have had my eye on the 16mm but as I already have the 18/2 it's pretty hard to justify when I don't have a WR body to pair it to. How are you finding the lens overall? I read somewhere that it's actually closer to a 15mm but not sure if that's true, not that it makes a huge difference.

I like the simplicity of some of the adapters , with subtle logos. And lettering. As long as the fit it good . Blends better with the look of the camera. For me , is important .
Usually i get what i pay for . Kipon makes nice adapters , some of the fotodiox are good ones, the thing is ... i kinda think they are all made in china... so sometimes you have to wait for shipping .

But,, to each their own .

I have tried them all.

See no barrel distortion , for such a wide lens , cool.

Thank you all for your adapter recommendations. I've checked out a couple of them and will definitely pick one up if the Fujifilm body comes through.

Excellent images on this page. From painterly and abstract to street. Like the compositions. Beautiful shots.

From what I have experienced, it's pretty good out of the box, but I have to state that I applied a bit of vertical correction & crop via Darktable 3.2 ... the images were shot jpeg B&W in 16:9.

Also, since the 7artisans 12/2.8 is not in the Darktable corrections, one can apply the correction for the Samyang 12/2 ... but there's really not very much need ... and even counter-productive at times when there's an angular street shot IMHO.

I am fascinated by the pictures that Jean Poitiers has been posting lately - the narrow, carless, cobblestone streets and stylishly-dressed people - so I was inspired to go to our downtown yesterday and try my hand. We don't have streets to match and our citizens are sartorially deficient, but here is the scene in our medium-sized city in piedmont North Carolina, in front of the local brewery. Fujifilm X-T20, XC16-50, Acros emulation applied in RawTherapee.

This lens has been discontinued,it may be updated down the track though.It does quite a good job but doesnt get the acclaim the costly kit zoom does.(18/55 f2.8-4).

X-T20 and 35/1.4 wide open. I manually set the shutter speed to 1/180 and let auto-ISO choose the exposure, pre-focused and used the high rate continuous shooting to get this one.

Excellent subject isolation there. Beautifully crisp, too. I've been very impressed with the Fuji X lenses of late. Been tempted to pick up an X-E1/2 as a 'travel-around'/'carry-in-the-car' type of camera.

Fuji lenses are nothing short of superb.

That's originally why I got my X-M1 and from there it grew into a fully-fledged second system alongside my K-3and lenses.

You're seconding the majority of reviews I've seen on Fuji equipment, right there.
Eyes are peeled for something along the lines of an X-E2...
P.s. Followed you on Flickr.

Its quite good,the S model is a similar price but slightly better,Xt1 or Xt10 are same generation but different formfactor.

The Xe3 is getting almost as cheap,its a big step up in capability.
