I've been tempted by the idea of selling my X100T (which I love) and upgrading to an X100F. This, with the teleconverter would cover 80% of my shooting needs. That said, for a while now I've had this fantasy of moving away from the m43 system (my EM5II, while a good camera, just doesn't...
If you already have LR, I'd start with that and see what you think. If you aren't happy with the amount of detail you're able to extract from the RAF files, something like Iridient Developer may be worth looking into.
My understanding was that with the Fuji implementation there was a little more magic going on behind the scenes as opposed to just being a crop of the frame. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Regardless, I like being able to the see the final frame in camera - one of the things that has ensured I'll never...
Agreed. One thing I really like about Fuji cameras is the ability to shoot raw and then process JPEGs in-camera. It has completely cut a PC out of my workflow for personal projects and everyday family/travel photography. It is disappointing that this feature is JPEG only. It would be great...
I didn't think I'd be at all interested in the X100F - the X100T's 16MP is plenty for my uses and the fact that the new camera uses the same lens left me a bit unimpressed. That said, with the addition of the joystick, a reportedly improved AF speed, a minimum shutter speed of 1/500 in auto...
Thanks. How do you find the speed compared to Adobe LR? Does it seem to be as resource intensive in your experience?
*** As a followup, I downloaded the trial last night and while exceeding the minimum requirements for running the software (but not meeting the recommended requirements) I...
Bobby,
Thanks for this. I'm still running LR 4.4 and wouldn't mind upgrading to new software , but I don't like the subscription model Adobe offers (especially because I already own older versions of LR and PS that for my uses work perfectly fine (with the exception of Fuji RAW processing) and...
After debating between taking my m43 kit with a selection of lenses or just taking my X100T + the 33mm teleconverter with me on a recent trip to Mexico, I decided to forego lens swaps and go with the smaller Fuji kit. I've rarely been disappointed by the X100T I have to say, provided I've kept...
Welcome! I don't think I'll ever leave m43 entirely - the potential of the system for a very compact kit, especially with longer focal lengths and collapsible zooms, coupled with IBIS is too convenient, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't prefer the Fuji image quality (particularly the JPEGS)...
Yes, I think people forget that you can get shallow DOF without requiring an f1.X lens. However, for when you don't have as much control over the shooting conditions, a fast lens is certainly worth its weight in gold.
I also enjoy using adapted lenses (and have long relied on them for posed...
I charged the other official Fuji battery that I have via USB using the same iPad charger I used on the first battery and it appears to have charged successfully. I also charged the 'broken battery' in a wall charger and it appears to have charged successfully and now works in the camera again...
That's sounds like a potentially expensive exercise, but I suppose I can give it a go. The user manual only speaks to charging USB via a computer and not through an AC adapter. Could this be the issue? Has anyone tried to charge via a wall adapter in the way that I did? I would assume that...
I've never used the USB charging option on my X100T until last week. With the battery nearly fully drained (flashing red on the LCD) I shut off the camera and charged the battery (the official Fuji battery, not an aftermarket) from inside the camera using the supplied USB cable and an Apple...
I shoot RAW (meaning I don't have the camera set to capture JPEGs), but I never take the RAW files out of the camera into a separate editing program. I use the in-camera RAW converter to process each RAW file into a JPEG and then use the camera's WiFi to transfer the JPEG to my iPad. If needed...
Agreed, which is why I exclusively use the built in RAW converter and then edit the resulting JPEGS if necessary (which is rarely). I don't use my Fuji camera for professional work though - if I did, my workflow would be too cumbersome.
I found that to be the case as well - while testing the 56mm on an X-T10. Also, with such shallow DOF for portraits I appreciate m43's eye detect focus priority which I've found works more accurately than the face detect on my X100T. I understand that the newer Fuji cameras have better...
I have the Nocticron so perhaps I'm biased, but if you take a look at the Admiring Light review of both here: Fuji 56mm f/1.2 vs. Panasonic Leica 42.5mm f/1.2 Nocticron - Admiring Light I think you'll see that at least objectively there isn't much in it between the two lenses. Depending on how...
That's interesting, because I essentially felt the same way about Fuji images compared to images from my Canon and m43 systems when I had an X100S and was shooting RAW - the images didn't look like photographs. I've changed my tune since I've been using the in-camera RAW converter on my X100T...
I have an EM5II as an interchangeable lens supplement to my X100T (though I also have the TCL-X100 teleconverter). I definitely like the images SOOC from the Fuji better and use it as my daily carry around camera, but appreciate the smaller overall size of the m43 kit (compared to the...
I'm pretty much in complete agreement with what Bill has said above ^ I too owned the X100S (twice in fact), but enough about it frustrated me that I considered ditching the X100 series all together, until the T changed that for me. If you really are into manual focus, I think the T brings...
I have never been happy with RAW conversions from the X-Trans sensored cameras using Adobe Lightroom. As I'm sure you know, many photographers turn to other RAW converters such as Iridient for RAF files. I've been pretty happy with Fuji JPEGs and find that they have a lot more malleability in...
I just received an email from the Fuji Love website advertising a free ebook with 10 tips for setting up your new Fuji camera. Admittedly I haven't looked at it but it may be worthwhile so I figured I'd pass it along:
10 Settings
Thanks. As I own LR I don't see much use for the desktop version (though I like the look of the interface), but I'd be interested in seeing what the IOS version has to offer. According to the Apple App store, they are planning a relaunch of a new version this month.
I suppose its a bit presumptive on my part not knowing exactly what you find lacking, but I'd expect to still be wanting. By all reports I've seen, while there is indeed an improvement it is by no means revolutionary.
I've been shooting JPEGs more and more as of late. If I do end up editing them I've been using Snapseed (which I've been pretty happy with). I hadn't heard of Polarr until now. Have you also used Snapseed? If so, how do you find they compare?
Some features cannot be updated with firmware as either the hardware or the processor power isn't there to support them. The EM5II for example just got several features that were included in the EM10II, but one that was left out was the Touchpad AF feature, as apparently the LCD panel on the...
I've thought about this as well though I've yet to see any photos - If you're talking PEN F system lenses I'm sure they'd look great. Without any kind of grip, however, I think OM system lenses with their corresponding adapter will look a bit 'off'. I find the OM lenses to fare far better from...
I really enjoy Fuji's JPEG handling of monochrome images. When I shoot my GX7 i tend to process the files externally to get B&W conversions I'm happy with whereas with my X100T I have custom JPEG profiles set up that I can shoot in camera or use the in-camera RAW converter to generate after the...
Fair point. I'm the same way when it comes to typing on an iPhone. At the same time, I never have had an issue on my GX7 and can change menu-based settings much more quickly than I can on my X100T. I certainly don't think it should be forced upon X-system users, but it would be nice to have...
I'm not sure why people who don't like touchscreens tend to be so adamant about them not being included in a camera. If you don't like it, it can be turned off entirely - I've never seen a camera where this wasn't an option. I for one find it far easier, if using a tilting screen for low angle...
I know you don't like touchscreens, but many photographers do. I think Fuji would do well to differentiate their pro level offerings with more than just the viewfinder option and body style. There are certainly professional level cameras that feature both articulating rear LCDs and...
I wonder if Fuji will also bring touchscreen functionality to the X-T2. That would further differentiate the X-T2 as the more 'modern' professional mirrorless camera with the X-Pro 2 as the more 'traditional' option. I think it would be a good decision.
I don't know of any videos, but if you're comparing it to SAF with a current generation micro four thirds camera you are very likely to be disappointed. My X100T doesn't even compare to my GX7 when it comes to AF speed, especially in lower light. Just like with micro four thirds though, some...
If it were me, the decision whether or not to get an X-Pro 1 would come down to one thing - the hybrid OVF/EVF. If you don't plan on using the OVF, there are better Fuji cameras out there for the money: The X-E1 has the same image quality, features and a better EVF for less money (though the...
Thanks for the write up. I got both my converters used and they came without the push on rear caps. However, as they are both 49mm female thread, a 49mm lens cap fits perfectly (and doesn't come off unless I want it to)!
To perhaps provide slightly more color to Rico's extremely informative reply, this was recently posted on Fuji's website regarding Acros and why it can't be added to other cameras:
