Thread 4460982

Drunk ordered one of these last night. Got fomo seeing everyone falling back in love with photography, using the optical viewfinder and onboard flash. Did I fuck up?

>>4460982 (OP)
Nope.

>>4460982 (OP)
Eh. Could've been worse. You could have ordered a Sony a7cII.

>>4460982 (OP)
When will you get it? You should post pics in this thread

>>4460986
Arrives tomorrow. I’ll take a walk around and post some shots later this week. Have to admit I am excited to get to know another camera for the first time.

>>4460989
Very nice. Looks like a fun little party cam. Learning a new camera is always a good time!

>>4460982 (OP)
>Did I fuck up?
For buying the best travel camera on the market right now? Nah.

>>4460982 (OP)
I'm considering one, but being stuck with just one lens is something I'm not sure on.

>>4460982 (OP)
>that price for a fixed lens Fuji
oof

>>4461016
You sound jealous. Why is that?

>>4461016
Just wait until you see how much Sony charges for theirs

>>4460982 (OP)
>Who else fell for the meme?
I'm tempted but the fixed focal length is pushing me away.
>optical viewfinder and onboard flash
I have two DSLRs with these features...

>>4460982 (OP)
i had an x100V for a couple months. fun to use, but felt like a plasticy toy. sold it for $600 more than i paid new.

Sadly yes
>>4461024
I doubt anyone is jealous of wasting money on a highly undesirable larp camera. It's not something like a Leica S3.

welcome to the club faggot

>>4461048
Nice fingernails for a lesbian

>>4461048
Do you have difficulties pressing the shutter with those potato fingers of yours?

>>4461052
yes actually.
the camera is not suitable for stumpy meaty hands. that would be my main complaint.

>>4461052
These are made for squizzing cocks.

>>4461055
what if i told you i have down syndrome and you're making fun of a down syndrome photographer right now

>>4461056
I would ask you if you have a monopoly on calling others "faggot" because of that.

>>4461056
kek

>>4461027
The RX100? It's half the price, if that's the camera you mean anyway. That's what always came up when I looked up Fuji X100 vs Sony so I'm assuming it's the equivalent.

>>4461064
RX1r3 is $5.1k bro

>>4461064
He probably means the RX1R, although the problem is that it's way less disrespectable than the Slugspecial X100. With the money one buys a gay Fuji one could just buy something desirable like a real rangefinder made in Europe. But no, slugs want the ugly fake vintage aesthetic and the wormy sensor because that's what they got shilled on Tiktok.

>>4460982 (OP)
Neat! Make sure you post lots of pictures to further enrage the nophotos here
If you don't want bad feedback, don't mention Fuji and no one will know
If you do mention Fuji when posting, brace for the hate

>>4460982 (OP)
Its poorly made
takes phone quality photos
has slow noisy autofocus
and is weather sealed worse than a snoy
https://www.reddit.com/r/fujifilm/comments/1dcoytc/fujifilm_x100vi_eyepiece_wearing_out_after_one/

Fuji has less market share than any other camera company. They arent popular. They are heavily advertised on social media and produced in limited quantities to make people in the cult think they are.

The x100 is a really poorly made camera. Everything from the rattly build to the clunkiness of every moving part and common camera function (ie: autofocus, menus) calls back to all those disposable semi-premium consumer electronics toys of the mid 2000s (good enough but not great notebooks, mp3 players, etc) that were always 3 generations behind in tech and 1 generation behind in price. Except it's 2025, and it's a social media meme. So it's 10 generations behind and 1 generation ahead in price.

The thing is literally a plastic shell that isn't truly weather sealed, it has wiggly doors ffs, and it's going up against better made and/or cheaper compacts that only lack sheer image quality - while targeting a market that doesn't give a fuck about sheer image quality. The x100vi isn't even pocketable so it also has to compete with people buying sony aps-c and even full frame and just slapping cheap shit samyang lenses on, and while sony has shit image quality, the x100vi market doesnt give a shit about shit image quality and sony's shitty green colors are just begging to be turned into a cinestill 800t film sim. If you don't like green, buy a ricoh gr III/X or an olympus/om system.

Call fuji's general lack of quality soul if you want (autofocus worse than an a6500) but the slowish but functional dell notebook with finish rubbing off the plastic aesthetic is some really shitty fucking soul.

>>4461102
>>4461099
Honestly, even sony isnt this bad.

>>4461111
He can't. Fuji barely sells any cameras, and has as many reported problems as canon who sells 50% of all cameras period.

>>4461102
>for some stupid reason, take the single most hated feature of the canon AE-1 (pull shutter to change ISO) and puts it on a DIGITAL camera where changing the ISO happens often due to how digital sensors dont work anything like film
>also make it out of plastic so it breaks sooner
a camera for people who look at but dont use cameras. made for the gear shelf.

sometimes i wonder if the good shit is ugly and undershilled specifically to keep it away from people with gear shelves

>fuji be like: 6% of the market share, 60% of the reddit/insta/jewtube shills

>>4461102
> I'd 100% just send it in. I can't see this running more than $250. They also tend to clean them for free, so that's a bonus. Sorry this happened.

Kek, $250 to fix a designer's retarded mistake, but you get it cleaned for free! so worth it bros

>>4461118
only an idiot uses that wheel on top to change ISO anyway.

if i'm not using auto ISO i have ISO assigned to the front command wheel. shutter speed assigned to the rear command wheel. allows you to adjust both without taking your eye away from the viewfinder.
even without that ISO/shutter speed dial ontop the x100 cameras still have far superior physical interface to anything by sony or canon.

>>4461134
>fuji is fine if you simply dont use half the design features and use it as a two dial camera just like every sony, nikon, pentax, olympus, and panasonic
Sony ironically has the best interface despite all the wannabe pros complaining about the ergos not being ideal for one handing a fat ugly fucking professonal zoom lens

>>4461137
>aperture rings optional
>one front dial for aperture, exposure comp, or ISO
>back dial for shutter speed
>second back dial for exposure comp or ISO
>THIRD back dial for whatever the fuck you want, or turn it off
Sony has a lot of good ideas. They should have stuck with the design of the first gen a7s. Small and photo-centric, just a continuation of minolta's design philosophy like the full frame version of micro four thirds.

>>4461009
You mean a Ricoh GR?

Once upon a time fuji had pocketable x100s. They were called the x70 and xf10.

But they figured they'd rather have a cult of actual idiots they could treat like the clueless trash they are so they went all in on the X100 series. No serious photographic improvements since the original model! Only price hikes and megapixels!
>w-well they added IBIS
10 fucking years after olympus had "5 stop" IBIS that leveraged the low res of m43 to look more like 8 stop?

>>4461137
*chafes your knuckles*

>>4461169
Sony has a major identity crisis

I LIKE this style of grip and this size of camera, but sony needs to get their head out of their ass and decide which models are professional "wide fixed aperture zoom and speedlite attached at all times" cameras and which models are "amateurs dont need any grip at all" models.

The a7c, I think, was peak sony. No grip at all. it was designed like those old film camera that just had a slight battery bump. And then the a7cii came out and added the cramped "professional (almost) grip (if you could call it that)". What the fuck, sony?

Their designers are perfectly capable of making the modern, high performance version of fuji cameras but they cant figure out how to separate FF cameras for the pro and amateur markets fo shit.

>>4461171
Sony is not a camera company. They became successful as a combination of good market positioning strategy, the snowball effect of an open mount license (learning well from Canon EF), and the glacial progress of their competitors. Not because they make good cameras. Therein lies the source of the "identity crisis".

>>4461134
>if i'm not using auto ISO i have ISO assigned to the front command wheel.
Unfortunately not possible on X-Pro2 (and I think X100F)
>>4461139
Always felt like Nikon designed by photographers, Canon designed by engineers, and Sony designed by computer people
>>4461166
Pretty crazy their attempt to re-enter that product market was the X-Half lol, a modern X10/70 would be dope

>>4461173
Sony is more of a camera company (minolta & bronica engineers) than canon (a printer company) desu.

If you're familiar with how commitees fucking things up you can see the minolta and bronica cameras at the core of the "but mashimoto in marketing said we need to target this stereotype" fuckups.

They make good cameras. But they are fucking up almost as much as nikon. Did you know nikon axed one piece mag-al frames? The Z6III, Z5II, ZF, and Z8 all have multi part frames now. the Z7II, Z6II, and Z9 had one solid hunk of metal.

>>4461173
>good market positioning strategy
They have the best deals for employees and camera retail employees, at least half that I've met owned Sony with that pricing being a big reason. At least in my region, the most event and vendor support for local stores too.

>>4461175

>>4461180
>Leica rebadges panasonics
No, they just borrow tech that has no pressing need to be 'unique' to the brand (video, wifi, autofocus). The SL was introduced before the start of collaboration with Panasonic.

>>4461180
>awkwardly placed toggle buttons for ISO and EC
You mean right where your fingers are? In the same area Canon also used for their DSLRs? Where Canon kept the EC on the R1 and a function button on may other R bodies?

>>4461180
>Pentax canceled all R&D in 2008
unironically the best of the bunch

>>4461182
>just contort your index finger to press these little buttons AND thumb a wheel because we won't dare put two dials on the back right where your thumb freely pivots
release to change is an even worse design

sony is one of the few brands that got this right. digital cameras have more settings than film ones. they need at least 3 dials.

>>4461186

Oh I don't shoot Nikon. You're right, Nikon's controls are retarded. Just get a used Leica SL.

>>4461196
Leica SL is even more retarded and charges 3k+ for shitty soft lenses and shitty autofocus. Might as well buy an old DSLR its the same thing.

Best drunk purchases?

This one is mine I was absolutely fucking blitzed when I ordered it and when it showed up I had no idea it was coming. It had my name on it and I signed for it and had to go back in my order history and verify I ordered it, this thing is coming with me to my grave. Absolutely zero regrets and they cost more now.

>>4461405
>they are popular
6% market share

they are unreliable cameras that are multiple generations behind the second cheapest canon APS-C (ie: r50) in basics such as autofocus reliability and image quality

the vast majority of people who buy cameras buy a crop sensor canon. in second is sony, in third is nikon. fujifilm is not even fourth, it is a distant straggler competing with other literally whos that only look popular if you're in the right social media algorithm bubble like OM system and panasonic.

>>4461423
None of that goes against the fact they are popular

>>4461426
homie, you just hit "per capita is just a theory" levels of dumb.

>>4461423
>buy compact hobby camera
>put fuckhuge professional lens on it
Correct. Sony does not make professional cameras and never has. Their position in the market was a fluke and after nikon finishes migrating RED sensor tech to their ILCs, sony will go back to making silly hobbyist cameras.

>>4461435
That may be, but still not as dumb as the comment I replied to

>>4461439
Fuji isnt popular in real life anon

Your social media algorithm bubble just exposes you to it disproportionately

>>4461451
I was looking at sales stats, not social media

>>4461487
Every source other than fuji themselves says they are a distant fourth. Definitely not popular.

>>4461497
Yes, just like Google being the 4th largest company, it's also not popular at all. What a good point!
>other than fuji themselves
What do you mean by this? Does Fuji themselves claim otherwise?

Fuji has 6% market share. Canon has 50%. Sorry kiddos your cult brand is not popular.

>>4461499
>Sorry kiddos your cult brand is not popular.
If you think popularity = market share of new bodies sold, sure.

>>4460982 (OP)
Those are nice cameras. Picrel arrived today. Awaiting incoming derision and chastisement.

>>4461506
As one of the resident Fuji stans, X-E5 still makes no sense to me over alternatives (X-M5, X-T5, X100VI). Much more features for the same price and a minimal size increase, or basically the same in an even more compact body.

>>4461509
Ya, I get where you and a lot of other people are coming from. I wanted x-e5 over x-m5 because of the viewfinder, which really helps (me at least) on sunny days, and over x100vi because interchangeable lenses. I know x-t5 is a great camera but I wanted a rangefinder looking camera. X-e5 is no doubt expensive, but I saved for it, so I didn't have to gut my bank account. Looking forward to shooting with it this weekend, I'm pretty stoked, actually.

>>4460982 (OP)
my current fuji x bodies are xpro2 and xt3. i've come and gone out of wanting an x100 but i'm good where i'm at as well. the idea of the flexibility of two ilc bodies is appealing, but practically, i will most likely never need more than the xt3. maybe if i ever see a black v for 1400, i'll snag one..

>>4461506
i'm a fellow fujifreind
on the xe5, they lost me with adding a film sim dial while still omitting an iso dial. but i am compelled by the lens. i have the 27mm 2.8 rn and it's pretty solid but the two things i wish for are wider fov and closer focus capability. pls share results from the 23.

>>4461506

>>4461701
4chan "gearfags" are about value propositions and calling companies greedy ripoff factories. I would hardly call them gearfags. Most of them only use cheaper gear.

They are closer to being communists than gearfags.

The sovl crowd, sony hate crowd, and brand=status crowd are true gearfags but they’re outnumbered by commies who call companies out on their shit. And the commies are right. Cameras plateaued, prices did not, and some brands are blatantly screwing people and passing off their incompetence as style because most people outside 4chan are gearfags

Gearfag mindset: this camera makes me a real artist. i have a soul because it has a soul. i have quality photos because it takes quality photos. i cant take good photos or be a photographer with less. No one can. It doesnt have problems YOU have problems SKILL ISSUE.
/p/ "gearfag": The autofocus is too slow for its price. Buy a used 5dIII consoomer faggot.

>>4461539
>still omitting an iso dial
I hate how Japs consider that a compact camera can only have two control dials. Even when there'a space on the left (where otherwise a popup flash could be), they just don't want to put a useful dial there.

As much as blobbers whine about grips, sony's ergos are very good if you're a normal person instead of a bazooka lens blobber with arthritis.

>>4461730
This rhetoric sounds really good until you use a soviet camera only to find it lasts about 2 rolls of film before shit starts falling off or seizing. Sorta the same for most soviet tech I've used.

>>4461736
Sony should spend more on build quality rather than having four fuckin dials, since their cameras always fall apart and everyone that shoots sony keeps it in auto anyways.

>>4461739
You got them mixed up with fuji

On sony the worst that happens is some gimmick gasket might degrade earlier instead of later and it won't matter because nothing that isn't a pentax with an AW lens, a nikon pro body with an S lens, or an olympus -1 series with a PRO lens, or canon R5 or greater model with an RF L lens, is actually weather sealed. Of course, no sony at all is fully weather sealed, but it's excusable for their amateur cameras because no one fully seals amateur cameras.

>>4461795
Sony is quite good if you don't expect to use a camera without a rain cover (weather sealing degrades over time/heat cycling and isn't waterproofing so you should use a cover anyways)

>>4461768
It's clearly a woman you fool. Look at the rings.

>>4461736
When I had a A7C with the 40mm Sigma lens, there was no way to set the camera where you could choose the aperture with the aperture ring or set it to auto. It's retarded.

Did the same but for a GRIIIX HDF. Haven't had a chance to go out and use it yet but I'm sure I'm going to love it.

>>4461811
Turn the ring to A and use the dial/dpad. It's a FF a6600.

sold my x100v couple months ago and now regret is kicking in. Now every time i go out with my x-t5 i keep looking at my lens collection for half an hour and can't decide which one to bring with me.

>>4462258
You're a consoomerist. FOMO is one of the core values of consoomerism. The others are regret, indignance, and the sunk cost fallacy. It's a purely negative lifestyle because unhappy people are more likely to make rash decisions with their money, and the entire culture of consoomerism was intelligently designed by corporate america. It's not a natural phenomenon.

Consoomerism is not spending more money than someone else, or having nicer things than someone else and calling worse stuff junk
It's feeling a need to spend money to control yourself and alleviate bad feelings, no matter how poor or rich you are

The least consoomerist thing you could do now is just use what you have and stop caring.

>>4462258
>needs to have the whole range from 16 to 200mm
This is a great way to never end up with a solid shooting style that is your own.
Pick one damn prime that feels as close to normal to you as possible, git gud using it, and only then think about getting one wider prime and/or one tele prime as complements.

Retarded feature to add to a digital camera I will agree but for film it makes perfect sense and was the norm at the time.

>>4462583
>16 to 200 coverage is for weddings and paid journalism
true, most great photos happen between 24mm and 85mm

Every now and again I want to impulse buy the meme camera but then I realize its probably because the guy who made me want one just knows how to edit. Or I'm wrong and the camera really does just make snapshits look good

>>4462613
Just selectively desaturate colors, teal your greens, and jack up the blacks.

Fuji doesnt have le jpeg magic its just putting the slider values in before shooting. It turns out sometimes but for it to turn out every time its a waste of time for people who like using digital camera menus, shooting less, and fiddling more.

>>4462613
looks like iphone hdr

>>4462621

>>4462621
>Just selectively desaturate colors, teal your greens, and jack up the blacks.
Yeah I've noticed that a lot of fuji shots look really desaturated yet the colors still pop and everything looks really warm. I'm definitely their core demo since I'm just a casual retard but I chose snoy instead. The x100vi just seemed like a good pick because I exclusively use 35mm anyway (not much of a difference) and it seemed like fuji cameras pulled off the digital filmic look well for casual snapshits whereas the same shots on a sony look like they came out of a boomer's flickr album

>>4462636
Are you not making your own presets? Fuji spoonfeeds, sony expects a user.

Neither is capable of looking anything like real film btw

>>4462638
>Are you not making your own presets?
I honestly never have lmao, for the 10 years I've had LR I've always just gone through the shots I really liked and edited them however I felt worked best

>Neither is capable of looking anything like real film btw
Oh yeah ofc, and you said it yourself
>Fuji spoonfeeds, sony expects a user.
I like the imitative film look that Fuji's put out, even though it could be had through editing on any other system it still looks unique to me imo but again maybe I'm retarded

>>4462613
I'm sorry but this looks like complete shit. It's like a cheap copy of a Wes Anderson palette (which is already corny to begin with). Just kitsch.

You can do this by shooting RAW and learning to develop. The problem with Fuji users is that they're skipping the necessary adolescent stage of learning to develop pictures, where you're experimenting with silly shit like cross processing, extreme tone curve shifts, "retro looks", and so forth, before you eventually arrive at a good, TRANSPARENT style (where the 'look' of the image draws the least amount of attention of all its qualities). This results in a class of low-tier hobbyists whose images are all 'look' and no substance, like that snapshit of the Swiss ferry, or pic related.

Lmao at the fried motel.

>But fml you can’t even mention it without being bombarded with opinions. You know what? I’m not dedicating my life to photography. I don’t fucking want to start renting lenses. I don’t want to learn Lightroom. I am shit at tweaking in post and guess what, I don’t want to turn photography into a fucking computer skill.
Holy fucking cope.
X100VI users around the world are realizing they fell victim to somebody else's Get Rich Quick scheme when they could've just purchased say a Z30 with 26mm pancake, and "learned Lightroom" (really just installing any preset pack and dragging a couple sliders) for a fraction of the cost, and been better off too. It would be funny if it wasn't sad.

what's the point having another iPhone lvl pic quality machine in your pocket?
>or an olympus/om system.
bodies and lenses are more expensive than FF counterparts and aren't that small if you think about having anything more than f2.8 (35mm equivalent)

>>4462756
What does fake grain or “fake colors” have to do with phone pictures? Thats not what makes something look like an iPhone photo, it’s the extremely obvious HDR and bracketing, and the boat picture doesn’t have that. Also these photos are way too low res for there to be any “smeary details”. I’m not arguing that Fujis are great cameras, because I don’t think they are, but they don’t do all the computational stuff like phones

>>4462786
>what's the point having another iPhone lvl pic quality machine in your pocket?
You're thinking of the X100VI (or actually any X-Trans camera). The GR is Bayer and produces results like any recent APS-C body paired with a good lens (if not better - the 28mm on the GRIII is literally THE best 28mm equivalent lens for APS-C ever produced in history).

>>4462788
>What does fake grain or “fake colors” have to do with phone pictures?
In both cases, fake grain is (preferentially) applied by the user/JPG engine to hide the ugly mushy details of X-Trans and smartphone sensors alike (you'll recall that VSCO for smartphones was massively popular until the advent of the digicam trend).
By "fake colors" I mean colors that are very obviously doctored to achieve a currently trendy, kitschy "look" that is based on some nebulous faux-nostalgic concept of what film (especially Kodachrome) supposedly used to look like. It's spiritually identical to being in 2014 and posting a picture with pic rel IG filter.
Please develop a transparent editing style that does not scream "I downloaded a shitfluencer recipe".

>>4462792
Based objective reality enjoyer shaming artistic interpretation enthusiasts.

>>4462812
I wouldnt call a shitty preset box you paid for artistic interpretation lol. Art means creating something yourself on purpose. Its a low bar even street photography is art. Buying a camera loaded with presets is not art its a camera with shitty effects loaded on.
>fujixweekly please create more creativity for me to punch into my camera -fuji’s "real artistic photographers who are real artists because they care about the only valid aesthetic, hipster twee" at their greatest
>i made my own colorchecker with custom colors to create a new look - average pentax enjoyer

>>4462816
>Art means creating something yourself on purpose.
I can make art on purpose with an X100IV. Your definition incorporates every kind of tool and instrument.
>Buying a camera loaded with presets is not art.
False, since, by your own definition, someone can make art on purpose with an X100VI.
>It’s a camera with shitty effects loaded on, [in my opinion].
FTFY

>>4462931
you can
but you won’t

fuji is primarily marketed to people who dont think these memes are a joke

>>4462792

youre being obtuse, the digicam trend is precisely because of all of the computational sludge and extreme bracketing phones do, and people trying to avoid that. it has nothing to do with VSCO and instagram filter trends from 14 years ago.

the phone look is HDR overly sharpened images, not Instagram filters.

>>4460982 (OP)
i had an x100f for a while before going to an x-t4 for the interchangeable lenses but i do miss the compact design
its a very nice camera and if you got the newest model i can only assume its nicer than the f and you wont regret it
check out the film recipies and play around with it, lots of fun and beautiful images

>>4462963
fuji could easily make an x-t camera smaller than the x100. just look at sony's a7c, and it's actually better weather sealed than a fuji (sad but true).

they just hate everyone.

>>4461730

>>4462964
why are you sony people so bitter and angry?

>>4462966
>you sony people
I shoot nikon, the superior cameras.

Sony is merely slightly better than fuji and it's pretty sad that fuji simply doesn't make good cameras. No wonder they're not actually popular, just astroturfed on the internet.

>>4462972
im pretty sure fuji makes digital cameras simply because they think it will convince people to stop buying film. fuji actively hates film. no one knows why. they just do.

>>4461730
Need? there is more to life than just needs, you commie PoS.

>>4462966
>why are you sony people so bitter and angry?
Sony shooters are generally very insecure and quick to lash out at anything they deem a threat.

>>4462976
It’s because there is no money in film. The money to be made in the analog era was from printing to film or photographic paper, but considering almost nobody does that anymore, it’s a tough business. The film stock itself was marginally profitable, all film stock is obscenely priced now to make up for the loss of photographic printing.

Even snapshits had to get printed, and a bad movie still required hundreds of miles of print film for distribution, but not anymore.

>>4462981
And you can rightfully call Fuji cameras a gimmick or toys, but they saw the writing on the wall and now can barely keep up with demand while Kodak declares bankruptcy every month.

>>4462966
>>4462980
Yeah I'm thinking this is a clive samefag (he has been banned from every single photography community for being online 24/7 and sockpuppeting to try and shill against sony, and has since landed on /p/. we only know because he had shit opsec and kept posting simultaneously on sonyalpharumors and bragging about it until he ran out of burner emails.)

>>4462995
We know. He literally never fucking shuts up. It's sad that /p/ can no longer assume any criticism of sony is valid. We could actually dislike sony at some point but now it's impossible because anything could be clive sockpuppeting or making shit up.
>inb4 clive goes "durr who's clive clive isnt real meds meds meds" and inevitably starts freaking about pancakes

>>4462997

believe me when canon hate schizo was here it was the same shit. one day you will leave.

>>4462997
Its a nikon user calling fuji pathetic for being unable to outdo one of the worst brands clive you faggot. Go away already. Stop trying to make everything about sony. We know you make every /gear/ now. jesus christ fuck off already. /p/ would almost NEVER talk about snoy without you. you make EVERYTHING about fucking sony. WE DO NOT FUCKING CARE ABOUT SONY.

>>4463014
>>4462980
>>4462966
Again, I shoot nikon.

Anon is correct. Stop making everything about fucking snoy. I brought it up to insult failjifilm, as in "they can't even build a camera better than sony", not "sony is good". No, both fujifilm and sony make horrible cameras. Right now sony's FF market share is tanking and fuji is irrelevant outside of their astroturfing.

Post skin tone and camera or leave. I am 99% sure you're actually paid by sony to stir up controversy around the brand and you talk like an ESL.

One day clive, cinefag, and cANON will all die and we will know peace.

>>4463020
the shills tactics are clear
for a while it worked like this
>shill: sony makes the worst cameras, they explode and have no pancakes
>shill: sir have you considered this sony camera and this sony lens *starts trying to make a sale*
>shill: argh, i am stupid!
>shill: not either of them but i just bought a sony!
This behavior totally ceased as soon as it was pointed out. I think they're trying to find a new schtick.

>>4462997
Its autism and consumerism. Happens on every board when they make something their entire identity.

If only. But we all know he will be here forever because he doesnt have a life

>>4460982 (OP)
welcome to the club. always make sure to tell everyone how you shot the photo with a "fuji" whenever sharing. Always. People will find it annoying but don't worry, the world needs to know that you shot with a fuji.

>>4462258
>end up with 4 lenses in my bag
>keep switching them
Anon, this is normal. I have a 24mm, a 50mm and a 85mm on me at all times, and I decide which one to swap to based on the comp I want. It doesn't make you think less about composition, it makes you think more about it lol

I drunk purchased it too what am I in for?
