    There was effectively no difference between the color of these images and the B&W, which is why the B&W looks better.

    Thank you. We got lucky with the weather as it snowed overnight so there was virgin snow.

    Fuji Got my XT10 today - my first Fuji !

    Congrats and welcome to the family. When I bought my X-Pro1 back at the end of 2012 (almost 4 years ago minus a week), I hardly knew of anyone shooting Fuji X-cams. I'd recommend picking up a nice clean used XF14/2.8 when you get a chance. It's a fantastic lens and you will find it suprisingly...

    Thanks, Bill. I know what marching ants are....the flashing dotted lines from something that's been selected in PS or other editing app. I've felt a need for blinkies...I look at the histogram in the viewfinder before taking a shot. To be honest, the dynamic range of my X-T1 and X-T2 are so good...

    Fuji X-T1 GS gone

    Actually, back in end of last year or beginning of this year, a 200/2 was on Fuji's roadmap. It got pulled, and my guess is that it was to put those engineering resources onto the GFX lens project/roadmap. With the advent of the X-T2, I am hoping that Fuji will realize the need for a big fast...

    Fuji X-T1 GS gone

    Hi Mike, an f/4 lens and an f/2.8 lens are completely different animals. An f/4 lens is a LOT smaller than an f/2 lens. I used to own the Canon 300/4 and I own the Canon 300/2.8, and the size difference is considerable, the 2.8 front element is approximately 42% larger than the f/4 lens in...

    Fuji X-T1 GS gone

    Hi Mike, I'm also hoping that Fuji will make a 200mm f/2, but it's not going to be small or light. It's just not possible. The physics/optics require it will be approximately the size of a Canon 300/2.8.

    Fuji We need to talk about the rumored Medium Format Fuji

    I'm sure the color gamut, skin tones, and overall image quality will be exceptional. We all know that Fuji really understands this discipline exceptionally well. My Fuji X-A1 Bayer-sensor camera also had excellent image quality, better, interestingly, than my Oly OM-D E-M1. It's clear that Fuji...

    Fuji Valid reports of X-T2s freezing up and/or overexposing.

    I agree with you, that's why I asked folks to contact their retailer or the manufacturer. I posted in the X-Pro2 thread to inform X-Pro2 owners that if they were seeing this problem that they were not alone, that others were seeing the same failure mode with the X-T2. Often times, people that...

    Fuji Valid reports of X-T2s freezing up and/or overexposing.

    Hey guys, just thought you should know that there a number of folks also reporting of a failure mode with X-T2s where the camera freezes up. I've read of too many reports like this that are reproducible from too many owners for it to just be an operational error by an owner or from someone not...

    Fuji X-T2 geared towards portraiture? What about mushy landscapes?

    It's about using the right tool for the right job. ACR/LR did not do a good job of rendering foliage, leaves, fine tree branches very well for a long time. The current versions LR CC 2015.6.1 seems to do a better job but I still prefer Iridient.

    Yes, Silky Pix is good with this, too. Thanks for reminding me about it; it does not have much adoption by customers, so tend to forget about it.

    Fuji X-T2 geared towards portraiture? What about mushy landscapes?

    "Mushy green" foliage, leaves, grass, etc is not the fault of the camera; it's the fault of flawed RAW demosaicing algorithms for converting X-trans RAF files. Use Capture One Pro, Photo Ninja, or Iridient Developer and there are virtually no problems.

    Fuji X-T2 ??? Where's the chatter?

    Really nice shots, Ian! I tried the wide tracking for some shots at the Indy Car race at Sonoma Raceway last weekend; it worked *okay* but not great. It did not lock focus well when the race cars were still pretty far away, it would lock on the dark track instead. This could be "hot track"...

    Fuji Raw converter that finally does the X sensor justice?

    I'm sticking with Iridient; I'm very happy with the conversions I get from it. It's important to remember that you can tweak a number of sharpening algorithms to get the results to you want. Capture One Pro is also excellent, at least for X-Pro1, X100T or X-T1 files.
