Torn -- I just got my rear-end "torn" apart on a similar thread this week when someone asked for the 1000th time why the 16-55 did not have OIS. I answered that Fuji screwed up big-time and that ...

tsg, that was a great post..... Good job. Fantastic advice. You almost make me order the XP-2 right now after many weeks of resisting, but I'm waiting on the XT-2.... Greg https://www.flickr.com/ph ...

QN, Group portraits are tough. You need to use a small single autofocus point and pick a face in the middle of the crowd as your focus point. Then shoot an aperture that provides the DOF you ...

I'm just getting around to reading all of the responses. Wow ... your most favorite Fuji lens is my least favorite Fuji lens, and I too have a bunch. That's what makes this forum so interesting. ...

I agree with almost everything you said here.  As a follow-on thought, I love my Fuji zooms with OIS, but I also am really getting addicted to my Fuji primes that do not have OIS. I think that moat ...

Mebyon -- very interesting and well said.  Thanks.....

Slim I hear you.  I have several tripods and understand their value.  I too am capable of hand-holding good shots in a variety of situations.  But OIS helps in a large variety of situations unless ...

Walie, You are correct Sir.  What I should have written was this: The 16-55 is an absolutely fabulous lens but has L-like bulk.  Adding the much needed OIS would not have added much mass to that ...

I am replying to your thread and not reading all of the other replies because I am short on time and I know what they will say. This is the 1000th thread on this topic. Yes, it was a huge ...

Its apples and oranges. One is a pocket camera that is what it is because it is a pocket camera. But the technology is allowing pocket cameras to get so much more capable. So if I were you, I ...

But I am.... 60 years old and shot Sunny 16 back in photography class in high school in 1973. But with modern digital cameras and histograms, not sure why anyone would refer to this.... I think I ...

Lando, That is a seriously tough question. I hope someone can help you, but I'm betting not. I know I can't. If I shoot an event that requires on-hot-shoe flash or off-camera radio controlled ...

Yes it is still an issue, but LR is so good that it is difficult not to use. I certainly do.  The LR X-Trans foliage paintbrush effect and stone / brick worms are real. But don't worry about it. ...

Great job!!! Great shot. Very nice. Love it..... Isn't it fantastic when you get a chance like that and you get the shot! https://www.flickr.com/photos/139148982@N02/albums

Bow, the 16-55 is a brick.  I chose to call it that because I have a closet full of Canon L bricks.  The 16-55 reminds me of those lenses, so I call the 16-55 the brick that it is.  I'm sorry if ...

Umptious,  That is a cool user name by the way....  I don't agree with you.  None of us know why Fuji left the OIS off of that very big lens, but we suspect it is because it had to with IQ and ...

George, you are being too hard on him. I don't think he was being condescending at all. Nothing wrong with saying a lens is sexy. Fuji is uber-sexy. That was a pretty decent post if you ask me.  I ...

I am writing this without reading the other replies, but the 16-55 is my least favorite Fuji lens. The 18-55 is much smaller and has OIS, and the 16-55 is un Fuji-like and reminds me of my Canon L ...

That is interesting. As a guy about to order the 100-400, that is not what I wanted to hear. I've been shooting my XT-1 for 2 years now, so I know it is not a fast action tracking champion, but I ...
