Enhancing the Fujifilm X-E1

April 15, 2013 by in Photography

X-E1 + Gordy + thumbs upI've bought a couple of accessories for my X-E1, which add to the usability, and make the tactile experience even better.Firstly, I bought a Gordy camera strap. Made by hand by Gordy Coale, the workmanship is excellent, and is comfortable around the wrist while providing reassurance that if my grip should slip, my X-E1 will be safe. When I toted a DSLR around, it would hang from my neck, but the size and weight of the X-E1 means that I prefer to hold it one-handed by the grip. Much better on my neck.Secondly, I've added a Thumbs Up "Bop" Concave soft release. This screws into the shutter release, and allows me to gently trigger the shutter, with a much more positive action than the standard button. Because it's concave, my finger rests nicely on it. One tip, though - put a dab of super glue on the thread, or you will find it has unscrewed and got lost, at some point.Do any of you have favourite accessories? Let me know!
