I finally pulled the trigger on a new Fujifilm X-T5! I’m loving the dials, but I’m curious about what accessories actually improve the experience. Are extra NP-W235 batteries a priority, or should I look into a thumb grip for better ergonomics? What are the essential items you'd recommend to round out a new setup for street photography?
Curious about one thing: what lenses are you shooting with? Ergonomics really depend on there size. Tbh, I've had issues with thumb grips blocking the rear dials... super annoying. • Lensmate Fujifilm X-T5 Folding Thumb Grip vs fixed grips: Lensmate actually folds so it wont block ur controls.
• Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap: way better for street than neck straps. Tip: Grab a wrist strap first for better security. peace
I went through this last year. honestly, I was pretty cautious about the extra costs when I started. • Expert Shield Glass Screen Protector for Fujifilm X-T5: I bought this first cuz I’m terrified of scratches. Scratches basically kill resale value, so this was a cheap safety net.
• Lexar Professional 1667x 128GB SDXC UHS-II: I chose these over pricey V90 cards. They're a decent option for those 40MP files... anyway, it worked for me!
yo! i've been shooting fuji for years and honestly... the x-t5 is a mood. here's my take: - Fujifilm NP-W235 Lithium-Ion Battery: basically a must-have for long street days so u don't run out of juice.
- SmallRig L-Shape Grip for FUJIFILM X-T5 4136: way better than a thumb grip. it adds stability but makes the cam a bit bulkier. best choice: go with the smallrig grip first for ur ergonomics. it's a game changer! gl
Curious about one thing: what weather r u shooting in? Unfortunately had issues with moisture ingress before... honestly, just get a filter from Hoya to protect that front element.
Any updates on this?
Yep, this is the way
