Ed Endicott Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Honestly, after having the XT-1 and walking around Nashville, then changing it up and walking around Denver in a big crowd and hot weather (for Denver this time of year) for two days, I have to say that the best addition to my Fuji Camera has been this (and I'm sure it's much less expensive).... http://www.tapanddye.com/collections/all-products/products/l-e-g-a-c-y-leather-camera-fixed-length-neck-shoulder-strap-porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I can't do leather straps.They hurt my neck and I have a slight allergy too. I've used this Tamrac strap on all my cameras for about 20 years.It's foamy and bouncy and really balances camera and heavy lenses so good you don't feel the weight. http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-N-5055-Neoprene-Absorber-Black/dp/B0009KKQNW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402030583&sr=8-3&keywords=Tamrac+camera+strap L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_Andison Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 So tempting! 40mm .085 is now available for the Fuji X mount Here are some samples! http://www.handevision.de/en/impressions/ L I like the samples but that is a big old lens..... I've seen quite a few comments suggesting a 50mm f/1.2 plus speed booster will give similar results for less weight and money. It would convert to approx. 35mm f/0.8. That said, it's nice to see these specialist lenses appearing, can only be a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need the likes of SIgma, Tamron, Tokina to put out full AF lenses and then we know it has arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the 150mm f/2.8 I had for the Canon, terrific lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never tried a neoprene "shock absorbing" type camera strap, you've never really given your neck/shoulder enough consideration imo. I truly believe using such a strap has enabled me to lug my Nikons around the world with nary a whimper of complaint from neck or shoulder. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would be a hell of a big lens. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Stanley Kubrick is still the daddy here but I don't think even lifting the f0.7 50mm would have been a one-man job. http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/sk/ac/len/page1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After multiple cameras over a couple of decades, I'm still using the same (now rather ratty looking but very comfortable ) strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
