    camera

    I've officially joined the X-Trans 5 club! Still pining for a P4 but doesn't look like it's coming out this year.

    Trying to set it up as close as possible to my X-T30ii and X-H1. My thumb/muscle memory and brain are a bit confused. Still in the middle of reading the manual and setting it up.

    Manual focusing is much easier now. Very happy with this purchase :D

    Thanks, Maoby!

    Just had enough time to make a couple of photos in the garden before the sudden pelting rain and thunder. SOOC jpegs, Kamlan 50/1.1.

    6 year old strong beer. Now tastes boozy and port-like.

    Beer2

    First test inside earlier. I used the XF90/2 this time.

    Your beer is a year past its sell by date. Is it OK?

    Alan, this style of beer is suitable for ageing. It's actually encouraged to age it. Expiry date is set for 5 years but the beer can be aged for up to 10 years (or probably more).

    I'm drinking this one as we speak. My last one, bottled in year 2004.

    Why is manual focusing much easier, and compared to which of your cameras? Thx.

    Compares to my other camera (X-T30ii) X-T5's viewfinder is bigger, brighter, and clear. Also has higher magnification.
    (I no long have an X-H1, its viewfinder is also better than my previous X-T20.)

    Good to see the XT5 is being put to proper use! I am enjoying mine too - the camera I mean!
