Testing the 90mm in the street


PhilippeVdp

Recommended Posts

First. I'm just an amateur. I don't have much experience in portrait photography where I'm working with a model. It's just "fun" for me to take photos. So yes this is for me testing the 90mm F2 but don't make an opinion about the performance of the lens based on these photos. I've just registered myself for a portrait/streetphotography course to learn how to take decent photos. 

I loved the lens and ordered me one ...

WOW... once more the samples show the stunning IQ of the 90mm.

 

Do you still have it for testing? In case feel free to share more samples.

 

But please just share samples that are out of focus and taken at ISO 51,200... this could help to calm my GAS ;)

Sadly no ... there was a fuji introduction day in a local camerashop to promote fuji stuff and we could try different lenses and cameras (also the x-10 was there).

But I have all what I want except 3 lenses that aren't available yet : the 90mm, the 100-400 and maybe also the 120mm macro.(but to be honest, I find the olympus E-M1 good enough for macro so not sure yet if I will buy that 120mm)

I briefly had the x-10 in my hands but I think it's too small for my (really tiny!) hands ...and was going to use my own x-t1 with the 56mm but then I noticed the 90mm in one of the bags of the fuji guy

So when he looked at me and asked which one I wanted to test, I thought the worst thing he can say is no and said "I want to test that one .." and after a few seconds he said "ok but be careful" with it :)
 

I was so nervous in the beginning that I didn't notice the iso 3200, exposure comp on +1 ... but then I relaxed and tried city portraits. That's why I wanted to buy the lens, going to a city with one lens / camera and nothing more ...and come back with good photos ... and after using it for 2 hours or so ...  I was sold and ordered me one ...

Oh yeah, to give you an example about my "skills" ... I'm really an amateur ... I had to ask the fuji guy which one of the metering modes was central weighted ... so if these are the kind of photos I can make with that lens, just wonder what a skilled photographer can do with it !

damn... this lens is sharp, has a great bokeh and gives us very 3D looking images! Now I have to convince myself that I don't need this lens ;)

 

btw, PhilippeVdp, do you mind if I share your 90mm images & feedback on FujiRumors? I'd love to dedicate it an article on FujiRumors

No problem ... just make sure they understand I'm just an amateur photographer :)

I'm sure FR-readers will like the images... nice portraits of a nice model. But, as you want, I'll make sure people know you're an amateur (just like me ;) )

 

btw, that's Bert Stephani in your last shot, isn't it?

That's why I didn't post this in street photography ... but it's "in the street" because I took these in a bicycle parking space, in the centre of Leuven

 

 

I wouldn't it consider as street, but you've taken portraits of a nice :-) subject (talking about 1st post) attracting people for the XF90 which is a tempting peace of fujinon.
 
i like the 2nd pic in the post#1

Yep that's the one :) First time I met him ... nice guy (tall guy !)

 

And still I forgot to ask the bra size of the model 

(if you've seen his video about the 90mm you'll get the joke)

So back to the expected sample-shot discussion... from the picture I would guess for a 105cm A-cup... but I doubt Bert Stephani usually wears bras ;-)

Philippe.

 

Wonderful photographs.

 

There is no such thing as ' street ' photography. Each of us would define it differently. I could post tens of images

Of empty streets with nothing but houses on either side. Call it street too. It is a very difficult construct to define.

 

Keep up the excellent work.

I snapped this at Pictureline with my X-t1 with their 90mmF2. Needless to say it's now my 90mmF2 and nearly always on my X-T1.

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
