Hello all,

Had hoped to introduce myself on a cheerier note.  Just received an X-E1  via UPS today that I bought used from Adorama on ebay.  Looks new, but doesn't act it.  Something is seriously wrong with the lens motor/IS (loud and vibrates hard continuously, even with IS turned off), and the command button doesn't work.  Wasn't packed particularly well (no padding on the bottom of the box), so it may have been damaged in transit.  Sending it back tomorrow.  It is what it is, but grrrr(!), anyways.

I have been shooting with full frame Canon gear for travel work in Asia for the last six years.  Shot transparencies before that since the 80's.  Tried the Sony NEX-7 last year, but wasn't impressed with its noise above ISO 400 and its lack of serious lenses.  Hoping that the X-E1 will fit the bill, when I get one that works!!!  Will be part of the family soon...

Everyone.  Just wondering if anyone else have had back focusing issues with their X100S.  Back focusing meaning that the target being focused on and got confirmation (green) that the focus is locked only to discover later that the camera focused on the images behind it.  I know that my DSLR's allow me to adjust the AF (Auto Focus) to compensate for any errors.   Doesn't appear to be an option on our X100S's.

Also, I am shooting primarily RAW and have noticed that the amount of noise in the images is very noticeable at moderately high ISO (1250+).  My OMD is noise clean up to around ISO 5000 and the Nikon D3S is clean up to ISO10,000.  Anyone else seeing noise on their X100S at ISO 1250+?

I may send the unit back to Fuji for them to go over the camera because from what I have been reading and hearing, noise and focus issues are pretty well kept in check.

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Think Tank has announced their new series of Mirrorless Mover Bags. They were kind enough to send me a Model 20 for review.

The Mirrorless Movers are designed for smaller cameras and they are a good fit for Fujifilm X bodies.

The 20 has dimensions of:

Internal - 21.5 x 13.5 x 9.5 cm (8.5 x 5.3 x 3.7 ")

External - 22.5 x 15.5 x11.5 cm (8.9 x 6.1 x 4.5 ")

The Model 20 is a small bag, but plenty big for an X-E1 and a couple of lenses.

There is a slot for a smartphone on the end of the bag (7 x 12.3 x 1.6 cm or 2.8 x 4.8 x 0.6 ") so interior room is not compromised. I used this slot to store a supplementary iPhone battery over the weekend at the V8 Supercars event at Circuit of the Americas here in Austin.

The model 20 retails for about $55, and could be an ideal choice for the X-E1 or X-Pro1 shooter who commonly needs to carry 2 lenses (one on the body, and a spare.) Or, it would be a great choice for the X100/S owner as well, with room for the wide angle lens converter.

As usual, Think Tank sets high standards for quality manufacturing. It seems very well designed for easy access, with the flip top opening away from the body, with the flap secured by magnets, or by YKK zipper for more security.

The bag comes with two velcro dividers so it's easy to allocate interior space to the size of the gear. One of the dividers has a small pocket. The underside of the zippered top has a mesh pocket secured by a small Velcro piece, suitable for storing small, thin items such as a microfiber cloth or other items.

There is a stretchable pocket on one end of the bag, and a gusseted pocket on the other end. 

The circles on the front pocket are embedded magnets which match up with magnets in the top flap.

Also included is a rain cover which folds into a tiny space for storage in the front pocket, and is secured with a thin strap, which is removable.

Above is the gusseted side pocket.

On this end of the bag is the stretch pocket.

The Model 20 also has a waist-belt slot on the back of the bag, if you prefer using a belt instead of the removable shoulder strap.

Here is my X-E1 with a 60mm Makro Planar attached, along with a 105mm Nikkor. The X-E1 has a JLM Grip/L-plate attached. I'm only using one of the Velcro dividers here.

Here's how the rain cover works:

The Model 20 is a good choice if you want to travel light. I plan to use it as a secondary bag...when one body and one or two lenses are all I want to carry.

500px uses HTML, not BB Code, so you need a converter. 

Take the Embed code from a 500px image (there is an EMBED button) then go to this converter to get the BB Code:

Then remove the end of the code, the bit that says [/size]

Then just place the new code in your post here.

Apologies if you knew this already - I only just found out how to do it.

An example (one of mine)

I've just started a new photography blog for my own images, with text placing them in context - the why, where, how, etc. Only one post so far, but many more planned. Please take a moment to visit, and maybe subscribe and/or share.

I mainly use Fuji X-E1, but also 35mm film, 120mm medium format, and the XF1
