where are the pics?

[back alley]

lots of fuji chatter on the forum but not many pics posted...
just an observation...

another observation...most times i see an image that i like it has been taken with the fuji 10-24 zoom.
so of course i'm now trying to find a way to get one without selling anything.

and a question...is a lens like the fuji 55-200 something you might use for an everyday carry?

I guess if your willing to carry the 55-200 everyday the 10-24 would also be acceptable.

In my view the 10-24/4 is to heavy and large for an every-day carry. I find lenses that size too inconvenient to get in and out of a bag (I don't like carrying large bags everyday either) A lens that size also draws attention. I might carry one now and then for certain projects.

I can't say enough good things about the 10-24/4. With LR 6 CC the performance wide open is the best of any four ultra-wid zooms I've used over the years. The flare and ghosting resistance is also superior. The 10-24/4's only weakness is the sharpness at 24 mm is nothing special (about 10% down and best at f 5.6). I guess Fujifilm decided to optimize the design for shorter focal lengths because the center is excellent at 10mm and the best overall sharpness occurs between 14 and 18.

I was questioning the need for the long lens. I tend toward obscurity sometimes.

As for the 10-24mm - steal one, or go on the game. And the 55-200mm - I'd carry one quite happily, and change my choice of subjects to suit.

Great everyday carry only when you need the reach and flexibility it offers.

An "excuse" for me for not posting many photos with Fuji X online is that I use my X-Pro2 a lot for family and friends' family photos (and cats, lots of cats). I don't post them much online. Well, I post a lot of cat pics on Instagram but not much elsewhere.

I don't post photos online. Never have but can't say I never will. I like prints on cotton rag matte paper. That doesn't translate well on screen displays.

A few years ago I would frequently lug around a Canon with a 70-200/2.8 lens. At the time, I never thought too much about it. Not anymore...I'm too old, fat and arthritic. Besides, I seldom use anything longer than 50mm equivalent--although I did buy a rather nice used Fuji 60/2.4 recently that's working out well.
