    I also have fixed lens cameras but, even with interchangeable lenses, I made it a rule not to take a camera outside until it had a U.V./protection filter on it and often a hood too. As I remember, I’ve destroyed one hood and two filters but never a lens. I’ve never been a believer in the view that a filter will degrade the image as long as it’s a good brand, multi-coated filter and I’ve never seen any convincing evidence of it…

    I have Philips Hue bulbs everywhere.

    I'm looking at filters - just need to recover from this spend first

    Until you try taking certain types of photos at night. Refracted light showing circular coatings of the filter and other anomalies may show up. Besides, once you have used a camera for many years, filters become a non issue as you already have perfected the knowledge of protecting your lens

    OK, so they're modeled incandescent that are actually LED?

    Filters won't change the difference between outdoor light and indoor; they will just shift everything and lose light. A blue filter will make the outside even bluer.

    If you want to eliminate or reduce the difference, you can shoot at nigh, draw curtains, or make two conversions, one for each light source, and rub the window part onto the conversion for the indoor light.

    Personally, I would only partially correct it with the two-conversion method, leave the one for the outside WB a day cool, and the one for the indoor light, a tad warm.

    Or, you could just change the hue of the bulbs.

    Or, you could just like it as it is. I only mentioned it because of the stark difference in light color.

    That's only for full-frame cameras.

    Focal length is not measured in degrees. The table shows the degrees captured with those focal lengths combined with a FF sensor.

    I bet you're going to get a lot of comments in real life from people who assume that it is a film camera, based on the way it looks.

    This just happened to me yesterday, but with the X-T5

    That's why I got it the silver one. Less 'in your face' for street photography.

    There was a period in the early aughts where almost no one had seen a DSLR, back when I had my Canon 10D, where people told me how happy they were that people like me who were still using film. When I told them it was digital, they were befuddled.

    All I saw was the guy cycling through crop modes with "FF-equivalent" focal lengths displayed on the LCD. They do not change the focal length. They change the sensor area used, with a fixed 23mm lens.

    It’s not a 35mm lens; it’s a 23mm APSC lens which happens to have the same field of view as a 35mm full frame lens. If it were built for a full frame camera then it would be a 35mm lens which happened to have the same field of view as a 23mm APSC lens.

    I ordered one about a week ago, upgrading from a V, so I guess I’ll see it in September. LOL

    same as exposure triangle debate. all that matters is how the image is acheived. simple really.

    Ultimately, you images are all that matter. If you use the wrong terminology, though, you can create confusion,
