Spent an afternoon in Chester on Wednesday. Luckily we had lovely late autumn weather.

Sunrise over Scheldt yesterday morning, shot from my desk at the office.
The building in the fog is same building MAS from my previous post.

Nice to see some fellow photographers here.
I photographed for around 15 years. About 5 years for newspapers and a lot of football as a freelancer. And a lot as a research photographer crashing cars and trucks at a crash-test-facility.
But that’s all photographing for somebody else. For my own fun I dived in the studio with models.
This one was taken with on light to the right, canon 5ds with 135mm

Is this ‘Petroleum Zuid’ in Antwerp? Intriguing part of the city.
Indeed. Well spotted. A lot of the historical industrial buildings and facilities are being lost due to new housing projects.

Your post must have invoked good karma – my X100vi arrived unannounced and unexpected a couple of days ago. What a surprise. I’m quite happy with it. I really appreciate the size, image quality, and mechanical feel. I’m not really into setting up in-camera film emulations/presets and shooting JPEGs, but if you are it’s another great reason to buy this camera.
That’s great. What a camera. Do you recall the out-the-door price?
Beautiful camera. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.
I’m interested in a pocketable fixed lens camera for hiking. What made you choose this over say a Ricoh GRIII ? I never owned a 35mm lens. Mostly wide angle primes and then up to 50,85,105 mm in addition to zoom lenses.
Thank you. The Fugi is unquestionably a lot more reasonable than my previous Canon 5D and lens, etc. and much easier to transport. It has an amazing set of features. Glad you received yours
What drew me to the X100vi (and the X100f, which I owned previously) over other smaller cameras is the shooting experience. It is a very tactile camera, with mechanical controls and an optical viewfinder (there is also an EVF). In all honesty, most of the pictures I take with this camera could just as easily be taken with my phone, but the X100vi offers better image quality and is much more enjoyable to use.
For me, the 35mm equivalent focal length is fine for how I use the camera. If you want a zoom or more focal length it’s not the right camera, and I have an OM-1 for those situations.
