(Part 2) Top products from r/fujix

Awesome thanks. Im thinking of getting an off brand adapter and hood, is it safe to think that itll still fit on x100f, considering its the same lens?

Just asking to make sure...
Cheers

Sounds like your subjects will be still and manual focus is acceptable. In that case, the cheapest option (with great image quality as well) would be to buy a quality vintage lens + appropriate adapter + extension tubes.

For example, I have this setup:

• Minolta MD 50mm f1.4 ($60). Fantastic IQ. Got a cleaned/lubed/adjusted copy off eBay, and even at $60 I probably overpaid. The 50mm f2.0 version is just as sharp, has similar bokeh, and you can get them as low as ~$30 on eBay. Here's a listing
  
  
• Minolta MD mount to Fuji adapter ($20). Paid a little extra for and adapter by a company called K&F, but you can buy this Fotasy adapter for $14.
  
  
• Any Minolta MD mount extension tubes. No electronic contacts for manual focus so they're just dumb tubes and very cheap, ~$10. Using all the tubes together gets you ridiculously close, you should only need to use the smallest tube, or just screw the two end mounts together for several millimeters of extension.
  
  Total, buying the items I linked? ~$60 for the whole setup. Example pic using 7mm tube at f/4 of the back of a single serving chip bag.
  
  Alternatively, you can buy a dedicated vintage macro lens, like the Minolta 50mm f3.5 Macro (more expensive), and skip the extension tubes. OR if you don't actually need macro but very zoomed in shots, pick up a telephoto like the Minolta 135mm f2.8 (<$50). You can look at other brands (e.g. Pentax Super Takumars are fantastic) but I'm not familiar with them like I am with the Minolta lineup.

Are you wanting something full height, or would something like a Joby Gorillapod SLR fit your needs? That info might help to point in a better direction. Also, is there a certain head format you are wanting, or do you plan to attach the camera directly to the tripod itself?

You can find similar things to this on amazon for sub 50 dollars.

It'll probably work in a pinch if you bring plenty of batteries (or use rechargeables), but it might be worth researching to see if you can get something more like a GPS logger (as opposed to a navigation unit). Maybe something like this, that just logs GPS data and spits out a GPX file, but I don't know much about it or how well it'll work.

The Yongnuo RF-605 will do it—$33 for a pair. Hook up the 2.5mm cable to the trigger and XT-2, then hold the other trigger in your hand and fire away.

The bonus is they will also fire the YN560IV flash if you put the trigger on the hotshoe. (but LMK if you end up doing that as there is a small mod you need to do)

Pretty much any wireless trigger that uses a 2.5mm connector should work because it's a simple "connection" signal.

Don't know what ops using, but I bought this cheap guy off of amazon for a shallow depth shoot and it worked perfectly well, although I was just nervous about it the whole time: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00169HXW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fLiVzbGQEF1FA

My understanding is the x-t10 shares many features with its big brother, the x-t1. If that's true, then this will help: https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-X-T1-X-Pert-Tips-Camera/dp/1681980223/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473424190&sr=1-1&keywords=X-t1

Domke F-5XB is my goto

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Domke-F-5XB-Shoulder-Belt-RuggedWear/dp/B002BH3XXQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502870967&sr=8-1&keywords=domke+f-5xb

XT10 with lens; spare battery/cards; other lens; wallet, keys, bottle of water.... perfect for a day out in a city IMO.

Bought a $10 "Matin" neoprene strap from an actual camera shop(!) The band has clips at the ends, doubling as a hand band when necessary. Maybe this

Got it. So you just focused on the same star for all 12 shots and then merged them afterwards. Is this what you got? The Pro Pack?

You can find DiCAPacs for the X100 cameras. I bought this one for mine a couple years ago. I wasn't sure I could trust it at first, but it worked just fine. Just test it beforehand. Keep in mind I didn't actually dive with it at depth, but it was fully submerged. Worked fine.

I used to own this one

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00158RJ46/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Used it for video and photo, nice filter with no colour cast, get a stepdown ring so it'll fit on your lens, a bigger filter means you can adapt it to fit on a wider range of lenses

But the one I use is Golla Salmiac because it's compact and I don't carry extra battery or lens. I don't use a camera strap. It fits the X-T20 with XF 35/f2 or XC 16-50 kit lens or adaptor+Pentax 50/1.4

My camera is always in the bag when I am not using it. It has decent cushioning so I don't have to be gentle with it. This has a magnetic flap for easy access but it has a velcro locking that you can use too. I use the velcro to hold a mini tripod.

Can't imagine a smaller bag than this.

Cool. I just grabbed https://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-Fujifilm-X-Mount-Camera-Adapter/dp/B007YPSAQA/ this guy since the reviews look decent. I'll probably report back on how they go.

I'm envious of your kit! :) I think the Thule Stravan backpack has a zip that opens all the way. I don't really use inserts, I just wrap my camera/lenses up in Domke wraps and keep them snug against the other stuff in my bag.

Before I switched to the X-Pro2, I was very undecided of buying this one. I've been also checking ebay for older hoods that would fit.

I had to go old school with the X-T2 :

• Domke 701-83A F-803 Camera Satchel Bag -Brown https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RNPD42/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_6WFEwbGVNJHGF
  
  

Tamrac 515 Compact Zoom Pack (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AB4OS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sNvAybAN2YMRF

Fits a few cloths, sd cards, and two extra batteries (and charger) in the front pocket.

In main pocket, the X-E2, 18-55, and 23/1.4.

It's small and portable and fits everything you'd need on small outings.

It is however a bit ugly (imo) and likely not waterproof (it seems water resistant but I never like to test this)
