Had a good day off and out with the new X-T20. I've had it a few weeks now, but the weather has been garbage, and the time limited.
Enjoying the colours, detail, and response of the new camera. I will probably buy a grip, as the hand-hold is not as secure as the X-E1. I also bought the 23mm with it, and apart from up close (where there is plenty of detail, and spherical aberrations), it is a stellar lens. I have a big trip coming up, and the other surprise to me has been the 16-50mm. I got this for video (OIS), but I may use it more often than I thought. Seems to be very little difference in sharpness with my 18-55mm (now sold). Anyway, the new sensor is great. No raw conversions so far (all it camera, so far), and honestly, I don't think I'm missing all that much. Colour is sensational.
Edit: This first one with SMC 55mm Takumar.

I need a telephoto solution for a trip out west in the next month. Thinking to get the 50-230mm as a start. Does anyone else have this lens - if so, what do they think?
I'm aware it's not going to be on the same page as my 60-250mm F4, and is an unsealed, high-light lens, but I think it will work OK for the 50-150 portion of the range I will likely use (landscape and animal applications).
