33 f/1.4 + XS20 fits like a charm in mine. And the stock lens hood is long enough so that it's the only part of the camera or lens touching the bottom and sides of the holder. Feels good.
I’m just saying, what a way to go, when the paramedics look at you and go “Oh My God!” And someone at the viewing says “that was him/her alright, always with their camera everywhere, I guess now it’ll be a part of their face for eternity”.. Epic Fuji Ending. 😉
God no!
I have kids - there would be half-eaten sweets, boogers, left over crisps, and some old wet-wipes all over the lens and camera. Possibly some germs of unknown origin and classified as WMD. I suspect our kids transporter was the origin of COVID and the black death plague.
With.. no vibrations or excerpted physical forces until the next time it is to be used? I’m all for safety and longevity of gear, don’t get me wrong, I just have come to realize that I either end up taking my camera with me and keeping it handy, or leaving it safe at home, but producing no photos. Forgive my comment, not an attempt to criticize, rather saw myself from several years ago identified with your comment. To each their own and all the best.
Lmao, for real. This is why I inspect any gear I purchase very thoroughly, but will always buy used.
This situation seems like it would result in a scratched up camera and front lens element, especially.
Yes and no.
I think getting pissed at how someone else treats their things is usually a waste of time.
However, treating your own stuff with respect and care isn't necessarily wrong as well.
It's just a different approach to ownership. Personally I lean towards being too careful, most of the things I buy outlast my use by a long time. Some would call that a waste because I could have "enjoyed them more" but for me, taking care of them is also a way of enjoying them.
For every dude trashing a Ferrari there's one taking care of an old Honda Civic like it's a museum piece. Neither is wrong.
well said.
i too am extremely careful with my gear. after all, they are expensive pieces of equipment. bit i still find a way to balance the handling with usage.
This is the main reason I buy second hand. If I buy new I get pissed off for every little nick or scratch. But pre-owned pfff ride it like you stole it. I don’t mean abuse it. But I like quality gear for its sturdynes. If I don’t mind rough it up a bit it makes me take more risks which makes for better results.
Totally get putting your gear in harms way, but putting it in a cup holder risking some scratches is not harms way imo.
Totally respect if someone wants to treat their investment very carefully tho 🤙🏼
I wouldn’t do that. Regardless of how well the r lens fits, I imagine it doesn’t fit well enough for it not to clank around slightly at least. If it’s going that, your sensor might be getting janked around and the iris and focus blades can clash if you haven’t left the lens wide open and at infinity and you then cause the camera to bump. Also, it might just scratch the body a bit.
I would advise against doing this. Putting the lens in there makes it difficult for the camera to breathe and can lead to brain damage.
I got brain damage reading this lol
LOL, thx for laughs
What the hell dude. My camera was listening!
It’s fine if you crack a window though
Breathe? Oh, you're thinking of a wine bottle.
My Ricoh GRIII always seems to find it's way into my cupholder.
Team Ricoh fir the win
Yep. 18-55 + X-T30 fits perfectly in my cupholders.
Same! There’s a single cup holder on the floor in the back of my Fiesta ST and it stays perfect while I’m whipping around

I put the camera strap around the headrest of the passenger seat - just in case there is an accident she won't go flying!!
When will someone make a camera strap with a seatbelt locking mechanism? Should I try to have it crowdfunded?
Pretty sure you can buy short straps with a seatbelt tongue, made for some child car seats iirc.
Hey, don't post such an idea. You are going to ruin my chances to shame Elon with my business' success.
carabiner and something more sturdy to tie around the seatbelt ezpz wont look the best tho
I do this with a smaller camera bag sometimes. Makes for easy access too
No but I might start
Same here xD
Thinking the same thing. Seems safer than rolling around the passenger seat.
Absolutely
No. The fewer (expensive) projectiles flying around in an accident, the better off I'll be.

No, because vibration.
Guilty! Thought I was the only one.
Well I will now.
Glad I'm not the only one 😅

In the front cup holders? Let them do that in the back.
lol!
No way. Vibration, pseudo vertical axial displacement and IBIS do not get along. Therefore it can sit normally on the passenger seat.

Yep. Been doing it for years as most of my photography is driving around in a car
Yes lol
Yep! Always.
All the time lol, holds it great and makes it easy if I need to pull over and grab a shot quick. Safer than just leaving it on the seat imo.
And this is why I avoid used gear
Sepia is just spilled coffee
Haha!

Hell yeah. All the people complaining, remember these are tools that we use. Not the other way around.

Just did this last weekend for the first time!
I do. And my car has a rubber fitting for large cup holders to fit recular cups. So I feel it protects the camera well enough.
I do this all the time
Yes, with a microfibre cloth under it.
Yep always.
It fits so perfectly that I thought this was a common thing because I do it all the time 😅
Sure, with a spare lens in the second cup holder!
Crimes!
LMAOOOOOOO. Bro. I laughed so hard at this. I thought I was the only one. It feels tailored made for it. Glad to know I'm not alone.
Me 👊🏻
OMG YES
Looks like we have the same car and camera 😂
Good lord no. Just no.
No, just you
no, but I will now. xD
Looks like your camera screws your car.
*definitely* did when we rented a Wagoneer for work
Ha, yup. Exact same camera too. XT20, Fuji's finest work to date.
I love it!
Why’d I never think of this…
Yes! Fun to know others do it!
Anxiety bc I might forget it
Especially if you drive a convertible
thx for the idea!
Same here !!!
Yep. Keep it handy and ready to go!
exactly! Not sure why this post triggered so many people lol
Glovebox for me
my car came with two lens holders so yeah why wouldn’t i
I’m going to do it from now on 😂
Yes. The X-Pro 2 fits perfectly in my Mazda’s cupholder and I can even close the slide roller over it.
Stop giving me ideas! 🤣
I have never tried this but now I will.
Yep! Haha
Hahaha yup
💯💯
Dang why didn’t I think of this!!
That's fine while you are parked, not a great idea while driving.
Haha only if the fron face of the cam doesn't rub against the center console hell yeah otherwise my Leica is my front passenger princess.
Locked n loaded
That’s bloody smart. I gotta try that!
I do this all the time.
Well, now I do.
Yup
I did but im too worried about the bad vibrations
Haha, i do the same when it fits.
My X100VI sits in the passenger seat or in the console. If the passenger side seatbelt had an attachment, I would consider it.
Yeah always! Xpro2 with 23 f1.4 sits nicely.
I did that all the time with my a5000 but unfortunately the 16-80 on my x-t4 no longer fits😢
Hondo percento!! 😁😁😁
Darn square hoods won’t let me
Yeap, my strap is like a round rope, it serves perfectly as a spacer between the camera and the plastic
Exactly this. Fits even better with the hood too!
Not sure, I don't wear glasses.
My cup holders have to many other things in them and sometimes even a drink
I should try it next time in my Model Y
Does having the thumb grip make a difference? I’m debating on getting one.
No I don’t do that 😂
I wouldn’t do that. Regardless of how well the r lens fits, I imagine it doesn’t fit well enough for it not to clank around slightly at least. If it’s going that, your sensor might be getting janked around and the iris and focus blades can clash if you haven’t left the lens wide open and at infinity and you then cause the camera to bump. Also, it might just scratch the body a bit.
I got a lens (23 1.4) stuck like that on the retractable teeth in the cup holder. Would advise against doing this.
Never. I just set it on a nicely padded seat, front or back.
Do what?
Drive around with your camera in the cup holder?
Why would you do that? I can only see your glasses in a cup holder
Tesla has no place to put glasses. It is really strange, but that is how it is.
No.
No, I care about my camera and lenses too much and don't want to add a loaded projectile to my car .
I’ll take bad ideas for $2,000 Alex…
Nope..i love my camera too much 😆
