I think the BLC-XE1 means Brown Leather Case. I asked 2 shops and they are both offering with the leather case.

Oh you are right! I was misinformed by the shop I bought from. Thanks v much.

Picked up the OEM Fujifilm leather halfcase for the X-E1 today. Love it - the colour, the fit, the battery door - fantastic. Unfortunately it covers the tripod mount, which is a slight hassle.

The strap, however, not as pretty, especially the extensive nylon sections. Anyone has nice straps to show?

got a barton and currently waiting for my Aa strap to arrive

The original Fujiflim case sucks though, bought a Gariz case to go with it.

hey guys, anyone can tell me approx how much the X-E1 kit (with 18-55mm) is going for in Singapore? I've been away from SG for a couple of years, but might be back for a bit, and might be interested in some camera gear shopping when I'm around - if the prices are good! I'm not sure where to check online, and calling shops from overseas is a bit pricey! haha. thanks!

Is the contacts clean? Clean the contacts on flash and hot shoe first.
Batteries died?

biogon 35/2 m is supersharp in film, supersharp with GXR, but only decent with XE-1, dunno why. but i know the zeiss touit is sharp, but why buy touit if you already have X 35mm. for me 60mm and 14mm is the most fantastic lens in fuji X

XF35 is too awesome to b replaced by d biogon. Its a nay.

Hi everyone! thanks for all your helpful advice!

I am using the built in flash so there is no contact I guess. Also, it is not on macro mode, not on silent mode ..

uh did you pop the flash up? lol

 

[twitism]

thanks guys! guess no go for biogon then... i was looking at the touit.. but somehow it doesn't give me the zeiss feel.. oh wells stick to the fuji 35 then.. it's an awesome lens anyway

 

[eleveninth]

very wide lol.

Beg your pardon that's not a hood you talking about, its just a ring meant for the front cap. And whatever adapter you use makes no different.

Had used this lens , its just too bulky . Infact worst then tokina 11-16mm.

 

[miyata]

Yes sold both , find that it defeats the purpose of using mirrorless and putting on something like that.....

Best alternative is save up for the 14mm or wait for the 10-something zoom...jmho

I've also tried adapting my sigma 10-20mm to the X-E1 using a Kipon adapter. Not sure why but the images almost always comes out soft - even if focused using magnification and peak focusing. This was not the case when I used it with my dSLR. Disappointing - the unsightly bulk aside. Can't wait for the Fuji 10-24mm!

you guys can check out the other thread with the metabones adapter.

Same thing when i used adapted m lenses, i found out that the RAW is far sharper than the JPEG, i suspect the Fuji JPEG conversion caused this problem.
