I think it's worth the extra expensive to get a camera that has less features, but does what it does very well. It's a well focused camera and is unique in a sea of sameness.<br /><br />2. I'm not a fan of the WCL because going from a 35mm equiv to a 28mm equiv isn't much of a difference. The TCL is a bigger deal, but unless you need to shoot 50mm equiv, the standard 23mm lens (or 35mm equiv) is good enough for most situations. I actually wrote an article for FujiLove magazine about the TCL converter:<br /><br />http://fujilove.com/fujifilm-x100t-tcl-x100-perfect-50mm-rangefinder/<br /><br />I hope this helps and sorry for the late reply.<br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-7563614910931117932015-10-31T11:21:56.602-07:002015-10-31T11:21:56.602-07:00Hi BHT!

I've actually been working on rebuilding this website on another platform so there's nothing new yet..... but everything has been moved over so don't worry. Nothing will disappear.<br /><br />As for the Leica Q, I've posted quite a few YouTube videos on it and I really like it. It's expensive and some may not like the 28mm fixed lens, but I'm use to shooting 28mm so I'm good. As for the X100T, best bang for your buck rangefinders style digital camera. In fact, I also write for FujiLove magazine, and here's my article on the X100T: http://bit.ly/BHT_FujiLove<br /><br />As for the picture, yes I would have loved to use a slow shutter speed and a pop of fill flash, but HK is a tough place to set up a tripod or monopod as the streets are crowded and busy. Perhaps I'll give it a go next time. Thanks again for commenting. Until I have my new website up (it will have the same URL so don't worry) contact me via Twitter, Instagram or my YouTube channel. <br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-80057694109055880402015-09-01T15:28:08.819-07:002015-09-01T15:28:08.819-07:00Take,

I've since sold my original X100 about 3 yrs ago and have been camera-less except for my iPhone. Recently, I have had some funds to acquire a new camera and so have been diligently catching up with what's available since my hiatus. Oh my...to my surprise there's so many good cameras to choose from. The Leica Q has peaked my interest but not much info out there and haven't even seen one in person. And to find a dealer, I need to drive a couple hours. Even then, they don't have one in stock. Heck, I didn't even know that Sony made cameras until last week!!! Shows you how absent I've been from keeping up with the camera world. <br /><br />Anyway, I really like that image you posted above in your review! That one entitled "Camera girl in Mong Kok" What a great pic! I was thinking man what if you could redo that one and drag the shutter a bit to show the crowd with movement but have the girl/lady simply stand really still for the shot - man it would be interesting. I never center my subjects in the middle and love my subjects off to the right or left showing the environment - so that's probably why I gravitated towards that image. Anyhow, enough for now, hope to hear from you.<br /><br />Teng<br />Tenghttp://tengvang.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-48032109617137060752015-08-05T09:42:15.091-07:002015-08-05T09:42:15.091-07:00Hey Mark,

Yes, the less equipment you bring, the better you will be at shooting the one camera, instead of dividing your energy and talent on multiple cameras and focal lengths! I actually enjoy wearing out a camera to the point that it stops working. It proves you used it to the max! Then you can put it on the shelf and retire it as a trophy.

When I took a trip to Hong Kong in 2000, I only brought my Rollei 35T. I enjoy using my eyes for judging exposure, and guessing the focus to set on the lens. My Fuji F700 is finally giving out. After more than 40k pictures, now it only works if I turn it upside down and lightly tap a bit. When you preset limitations on the equipment being used, the gears spin faster in the brain.

Aesthetics is important and the X100T is probably the sexiest looking camera on the market today. The beauty of digital is that you can evaluate and learn from your mistakes right away so keep shooting and keep learning. You will grow as a photographer. Happy shooting!<br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-64834709374819963652015-05-06T06:26:51.341-07:002015-05-06T06:26:51.341-07:00Many thanks for your in-depth response,

The customizing that you spoke about intrigues me, I guess the last thing would be to try and find a local shop that sells the Ricoh and give it a shot! I've only tried the x100t so far, feels great in the hand, controls are nice, viewfinder option keeps me happy as a switch from DSLR, and I guess the aesthetic appeal is very high too :P<br /><br />Agree also with the zoom, I'm hoping to become a better photographer and learn greater composition of what I'm shooting!<br /><br />Thanks again BHT !<br /><br />Vic.<br /><br />Vicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-59799422821334898972015-04-30T10:56:26.283-07:002015-04-30T10:56:26.283-07:00Hi Vic,
Thanks for your question. This is probab...Hi Vic, <br /><br />Thanks for your question. This is probably the most asked question: Which is better for street photography, the Fujfilm X100 series or the Ricoh GR? Well, to answer your question with an action, I own the Ricoh GR. For my specific needs, the GR was the better choice. Which is the better camera in terms of specs and features? It's definitely the Fujfilm X100T. But just because it has better specs doesn't automatically make it a better camera, as you may well know. Your DSLR in many ways is a 'better' camera than the X100T, but sometimes what you need are not specs or features.... sometimes what you need is a single feature that wins you over.<br /><br />The shooting style is an important factor between the GR and X100T. The reason you buy the X100T is because of the awesome hybrid viewfinder. If you only use the rear LCD, then I would suggest getting the X-E2 and a prime lens. The Ricoh GR is a stealth shooter. It looks like a tourist's camera and nobody takes you seriously. However, that's what makes it so powerful. Also, it's very customizable, way more than the Fuji. If you take the time to read the well-written manual and play around, you will get the most of the camera. <br /><br />So it depends on you. If I had to make a buying decision right now between the X100T and Ricoh GR, I would probably still choose the Ricoh, but that's because of my needs. I will probably take better pictures with the X100T, but because I review cameras and need a back-up, my personal EDC (Every Day Carry) has to be as compact as possible. This is the primary feature of the GR that I need.<br /><br />I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Either camera will be fine. Don't worry so much about zoom. Sure you'll miss some shots, but you will also miss shots if you only shoot with a zoom. Only seeing the world in a single focal length changes the way you see the world and the way you shoot. <br /><br />Happy shooting!<br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-7593848464263292462015-04-21T19:32:11.178-07:002015-04-21T19:32:11.178-07:00Hi BHT,

Previous camera was an entry level dslr from over 6 years ago, and I would like to learn to shoot better (but dont have too much experience with a 35mm prime lens) and so this choice would be superseding that camera as I cannot afford high end dslr, nor do i need one - and this would be much easier to carry around!<br /><br /> Was wondering what your opinion would be? and whether you think the x100t would be a worthier investment even at the higher cost? The only thing I'm worried about with these two is the zoom capability (which 'might' be an issue when I'm on a trip somewhere, etc).<br /><br />Sorry, I know your posts somewhat favour the x100t, but just wanted your direct opinion!<br /><br />Many thanks :) !<br /><br />Vic.Vicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-75615896752851307962015-04-14T11:18:11.901-07:002015-04-14T11:18:11.901-07:00Hi Glenn,

The X-E2 is fantastic, but it's 100% EVF only. The button layout is also much improved on the X100T, so you will shoot faster and more intuitively. Depending on the lens, I feel the X-E2's AF is faster and more accurate. The X-E2 with a pancake is a great option for those who want to change lenses, but definitely not the same feel as the X100T.

Use ability, size, mojo... What would one be giving up or gaining with one vs the other?<br /><br />Sean in TokyoSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845581265343583175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-46268233959207677232015-04-04T08:40:27.002-07:002015-04-04T08:40:27.002-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845581265343583175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-37284045266306772232015-03-09T09:02:01.774-07:002015-03-09T09:02:01.774-07:00Hi Ly,

I've tried many different combinations of lighting situations, setting changes, but to no avail. You are correct that the Fujfilm EVF peaking performance is subpar. Because I typically don't shoot in lowlight (as you can tell by my pictures) and when I do manual focus it's often by scale, I never really noticed. I double checked against the X-T1 and the X-E2 and they also have the same problem. I am meeting up with Fujifilm tomorrow to talk about it as well, but my guess is that it's just something they're going to have to fix in future updates. <br /><br />I compared against Sony and they have no problems with low light peaking, although the performance does dip a bit. Sony does peaking the best so they are definitely ahead of Fuji in this area. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention. I didn't find focusing difficult in low light even when peaking wasn't working, but peaking sure would help when there's nothing with decent contrast to focus on.<br /><br />Take care and I'll keep you updated once I speak with Fuji. Happy shooting!<br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-17113844498323897092015-03-06T07:00:13.811-08:002015-03-06T07:00:13.811-08:00Hi BHT, thank you very much for your response!
