    Fuji X-H1 annoying feature!

    I haven't seen what you describe on my XT2. But, the first thing I do with each of my cameras when I get them is turn off all of the sleep and power save options I find so that the camera stays on until I use the power button to turn it off. However, I noticed that the X-T2 will still go to...

    Fuji The Great Purge

    You still manage to accumulate stuff when you're retired. Might even be worse. Plus you don't have that drive all the time to clean stuff out. I've downsized my camera kit to an X-T2 with two lenses but, I intend to go smaller and replace that with an X100F and the wide-angle converter. It's all...

    Fuji Fuji X-e1 vs X-e2s

    As others have said, the price on that XE1 sounds way high. Donā€™t forget that there is an XE2 between the two Even though there is little difference between the XE2 and XE2S, all three are discontinued but, the S is still available new while itā€™s getting harder to find a new 2. Iā€™m in the...

    Fuji X-T3 before the X-Pro3?

    OMG, the X-Pro2 and X-T2 are so old and antiquated, I donā€™t know how we are going to survive until Photokina. Iā€™m surprised that people can still manage to take decent photos with them

    Fuji Remote release options?

    What you need depends on how far out in the river you are. You should be able to use any electronic remote that plugs into your Fuji camera. Sounds like you can probably use the same kind of remote that you used on your Nikon. But 20 ft is not far and the WiFi app allows you to see what the...

    Fuji Remote release options?

    Not sure what you're doing but, for tripod work, I used to use a short cable release that I bought for a dollar back in the 1970s until I discovered I could accomplish the same thing using the 2 Sec/10 Sec timer in my X-E2 or X-T2.

    Fuji 16\1.4 or 16-55\2.8?

    If you're a prime guy, then buy the 16mm f1.4 and you're done. Of if your a zoom guy, get the 16-55mm f2.8 and forget the 16mm f1.4. Undecided; get the 16mm f1.4 and wait six months to see if you really cannot live without the 16-55mm f2.8.

    Fuji SD card reader that works with iPad and Lightroom CC

    I have the old 32 pin Apple Camera Connect kit which included an OTG connector for USB and the SD card reader. When I got it, you cold only use it with an iPad and I used both pieces to backup RAFs and jpegs to our old third generation iPad on vacation. Now, I have an iPhone 7 Plus and a new...

    Fuji X Pro 2 SD Card Recommendation?

    This is a very informative article about memory cards with the X-T2. I believe the author also wrote one of the X-Pro2 but even if not, there should be no difference. I jut bought an X-T2 and also two Sandisk UHS1 Extreme Pro 32GB cards to go along with it, same kind I have used in my X-E2 and...

    Fuji Struggling to get my XT2 set up right

    I meant to ask; is the software you use with your Nikon RAW files the free software that Nikon provides or did you buy something? Also, if your having a difficult time with the X-T2 because the manual looks like it was written by a bunch of third graders. You may want to take a look at Rico...

    Fuji Struggling to get my XT2 set up right

    You can adjust Shadows (S-Tone), Highlights (H-Tone), Color, Sharpness (Sharp), Noise Reduction (NR), and Grain. Except for grain, you can select 0 or +/- 4 for each value. And pick your film simulation before you shoot. All of these should be in the Quick Menu QR or if you prefer, you can add...

    Fuji DxO acquires Nik

    It wasn't a gift from Google, they bought it and it's probably just a matter of time before they start charging for Nik. The only question is what will they do with Nik? They can keep it as is, adding more features and presets or they can warp it into something else.

    A few B&W ooc jpegs from my X-E2 gently nuked in Nik Silver Effects. Bridge Photos were done with the Voigtlander Super-Wide 15mm f4.5 Heliar II and the other two done with the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f1.4 MC. Both on Fotodiox LM/FX adapters.

    Fuji I've been researching Fuji cameras for awhile and I want one, need advice

    As I said before, when I had my X-E1, it didn't have peaking yet. That came in a firmware upgrade after I sold my X-E1 but, based on Mick2D2s comments, it's does not sound that great. With the X-E2, both the EVF and LCD are better plus peaking comes in three color choices; red, blue, white, and...

    Film Simulations

    All of my lenses are manual. So I have my X-E2 set to RAW+FINE with B&W for the film simulation and red peaking. I find that a monochrome view in the EVF or LCD with red peaking makes focusing very easy and it also helps with composition when I'm not being distracted by colors. Then before I...

    Fuji Tethering Camera to Computer for in-Camera RAW Processing

    You X-T20 has an HDMI port that will connect to any TV or monitor with an HDMI port. Once you press the preview button, the X-T20 sends the output to the TV or monitor instead of the LCD or EVF. I've been processing about 98% of the RAW files in my X-E2 or the X100T I recently sold, before...

    Fuji 35mm f1.4 on an X-T1 whines when it focuses. Is that normal

    The 35mm f1.4 is one of the original three Fuji lenses and it is noted for being a little noisy and slow when it focuses but the IQ on the 35mm f1.4 is still superb.

    You can download RFC2 from Fuji. It is a free older version of SilkyPix that will only process Fuji files; RAW or Jpeg. If you like it, you can get the latest version of SilkyPix or SilkyPix Pro at a discount. There a lot of good programs out there. I have SilkyPix Designer Studio 7 Pro but also...

    Fuji Fujifilm X RAW Studio

    Not sure what you are getting beyond the existing RAW converter. I've gone to mostly shooting jpegs but when I shoot RAW, I use the in-camera converter to create the jpegs I want. I connect the HDMI output of my X-E2 to my 39 inch monitor instead of using the LCD. This program sounds like an...

    Fuji 35mm - 1.4 or 2?

I got the 35mm f1.4 along with the 18mm f2.0 along with my X-E1. Mostly used the 18mm but the image quality...

    The peaking in the X-T1 and X-T10 is the same as my X-E2 has. Choice of Red, Blue, or white in high or low resolution. When I had my X-E1, Fuji didn't add peaking yet but, my understanding is that it comes in low resolution white only. Perhaps an X-E1 user here can verify that and as for the...

    I don't own the 18-55mm, so I can't if there are any unique problems with it's OIS system but I owned two Panasonic OIS lenses and two Olympus cameras with IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization). The advice from both companies, and I believe Fuji as well, is to turn off OIS or IBIS when the camera...
