I had to go into London recently to get a US visa so decided to take my trusty Sony NEX-7. Over 10 years old now but it still does everything you need. Seeing a city through the eye of the lens makes it an entirely different experience. I hope you enjoy the photos.

    Just came across this channel. Around 9 years ago I swopped a Leica lens for an x-t1 and I'm still using it today. They're an excellent, reliable little camera that does everything I want and has never let me down. Some great shots of Venice showing what this little gem of a camera is capable of, and just subscribed. As I always say, 95% of a good image is being there and seeing the potential and the other 5% is the gear. From your accent I think you may be from the same little island as I am, but further north maybe? Enjoyed the video and will check out some more.

    Video on the XT-1 is horrible. Sold mine and bought a XT-3. I was surprised how much sharper the XT-3 images are. Sell your XT-1 as long people pay good prices for it. ;-) For photo's it is still fine, but I prefer the 3 now. Although the XT1 colors pop more. Default colors from the 1 look often nicer. But with the right settings the 3 photos are nice as well.

All is calm (usually) in the skies. You see the splendor of this perfect, unique world, and then when you're back on the ground, I feel you can appreciate it even more... And show us the beauty of it, through the lens, which most of us just take for granted... You also sound very grounded, rather stupid comment for one who's in the air for many hours. Not interested in the views or subscribers... Well better to have a few to share your photos... But maybe you just want us to appreciate and lose ourselves in the beauty of the planet through them pictures your capture. Sorry, a bit deep thinking late at night...

      It’s a really old school organic sensor. Also consider the X-T10. Much the same but not weather sealed and a different dial interface. The if you’ve been used to 35mm cameras then the X-T1 just feels right in the hand. Ed

    Ed…My new TTArtisan lens landed this morning. Popped it on my recently purchased X-T1 (described as excellent condition when purchased from MPB)……Taking a punt on a 2nd hand camera does come with some risk, especially when the camera is 10 years old! To my utter amazement, I uploaded a JPEG to validate the shutter count……UNBELIEVABLE….a mere “895” shutter activations!! It’s like a new camera for £359 (body only)….what a result! That’s got to be one of the best purchases I’ve ever made🎉🥳

    • @MyContrails
      @MyContrails 7 месяцев назад

      I hope that’s the original shutter count. I believe that shutter count on EXIF was a firmware update but there’s no real way of telling. When the internal battery dies, and the regular battery is empty, the shutter count resets. In the newer cameras this isn’t the case as it’s written to an eprom. Either way if it’s in good condition I’d suspect that it has been well looked after. So often people chase the latest cameras so it could very well be the case. Have you updated the firmware yet? 👍

    • @Elements795
      @Elements795 7 месяцев назад

      @@MyContrails As you say, it’s possible that the shutter count could have been re-set however, the condition of the camera is that good, it may well be correct…time will tell!

    Nice video Ed - Subscribed! Having watched several videos on the subject of the Fuji X-T1, I have taken the plunge and purchased one for myself! I spotted a used X-T1 on the MPB website, listed at £359 described as “excellent condition” (cosmetic!). I also purchased a half leather case and a battery grip at the same time for a few quid more! To be honest, I was a little nervous since the item description did not detail the “shutter count”! MPB offer a no quibble 14 day return so I thought it was worth taking a punt! I’m hoping that the condition of the camera is indicative of little use and a low shutter count!! As a current Canon camera owner, I didn’t have any Fuji compatible lenses however, I decided to put in an offer on a TTArtisan 24mm f1.4 lens, which I secured at £92.50 (near mint condition). This should arrive tomorrow or Saturday, after which I’m hoping I can take some shots and try and obtain the shutter count to evaluate wear and tear / longevity etc. First impressions are it’s a funky stylish retro looking camera. Very comfortable in the hand….certainly a lot smaller than my Canon 40D! Just to add, what a “combo / fab lifestyle”……pilot, photographer armed with an X-T1……..not jealous🤢😂
