Hi all. I have a question for you X-E1 users. I wanted a xpro1 for the 'filmic' iq but here in Italy it is not easy to find one used in mint condition so I ended taking a X-E1 which will arrive in a couple of days.

My question is: is the iq of the xe1 the same as the xpro1? I read that the x-transfer 1 sensor has a very particular iq color wise. I am a jpeg shooter so I wanted to give it a try. I also own the xt1 and xt20 but have a film background and was very curious to try the original Fuji x-transfer sensor.

 

Can anyone confirm that?

I'd recommend to read article on dpreview , they have nice comparison of X-Pro1 and X-E1 JPEG tonal curves for different Film Simulations.

 

I had X-E1, X-T1, X-E2, and can confirm that X-E1 has much more pleasant shadow details and much wider dynamic range comparing to same film simulations in X-E2 and X-T1. I like X-E1 JPEG much more, but Fuji made me addicted to better performance of X-E2s viewfinder which is critical for me.

As far as I know, the X-E1 and the X-Pro1 have exactly the same sensor and processor. I have both (plus X-E2 and X-Pro2) and do like the IQ they produce but as yukosteel has already mentioned, the newer models are far superior performance wise.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
