    I love using the Acros sim to guide my RAW editing. After using 20-22 MP Canon RAW's for years, it's interesting/fun to have all the latitude in these 40MP Fuji files.  Yellowstone National Park by the way.

    You realize M is manual focus mode?  Also, the min focus distance has to be met or no focus.  I believe the min focus is longer with the 1.4 attached.

    Hi all!
    apologies for my late reply. I'm using the XT-5 with the latest firmware. I also tried to update the flash, but that's not possible. I'm using a MacBook and somehow that doesn't really work. Anyway, I tried everything.. including switching on the camera first, then turning on the flash. Nothing changes. 
    But I am using rechargeable batteries (fully charged) - maybe it might be worth trying different ones (need to buy some first). Will keep you updated! 🙂

    No, you are not doing anything wrong, those posts are some automated ads, probably to help paying for the server.
    Sorry to hear about your faulty LCD. I think your camera needs to go to Fuji service.

    I have one and like it a lot. It’s a pretty versatile lens. It’s compact and light and autofocus seems pretty fast.  I would note that due to the shorter focal length for 1:1 magnification the working distance is very small. So small that have to remove the lens hood.  For me it’s a great lens but if was looking for dedicated macro lens I’d probably look at longer focal length.

    I own all the small primes, love to take them out when I want to travel light and use primes. I bought the 30mm to put it in my bag instead of the 35mm f2. Perfect image quality, great focal length, just in between the 27mm and the 35mm. Use it a lot for images of flowers, small items to show detail, and also documentary work. Certainly not the lens for insects, yet great for all other purposes, and sharp and crisp. My walking around lens is the 23mm, if wider I use the 16mm and if portraits are asked for its the 50mm f2. And for close ups and standard viewing angle its the 30mm. Much more in use than the 35mm, works for me as I expected when I bought it.

    Hello. After years of Nikon, I started shooting vintage Leica's. Last year, just for fun I bought a Fujifilm X-T1 and an X-E1, because they were so cheap. I still regret not having done so 10 years ago. Wow. Fuji is perfect.
    So 3 weeks ago I bought a brand new X-T5. But something was wrong with my experience, with the T5 because I still use the other cameras. Today I noticed that the focus peaking highlights, which I use in red, do not switch off when halfpressing the shutter. I was happy to have found the mistake and started looking in the menus to configure the camera. You may guess that I did not find "the box to tick or untick". At work we checked a friends X-T4. Everything was right. After work I started searching in the PDF manual. Nothing. So I started googling and after some minutes I knew that I just had experienced my first bad Fuji experience.
    Reading here that people have been complaining 6 months ago, I now know that Fuji doesn't care. I fear that it was a mistake to buy the X-T5. I should have bought a used T3 or T4.
    I will also kindly contact Fuji. But if this will not be addressed within the next months, I will dump the T5. I also was thinking about starting a GFX adventure, but unfortunately that will be postponed.

    @HC-110
    Yes, disappointing, right.
    I've sort of given up - I'll never buy Fuji again. I tried interjecting on their social media ads, living comments imploring them to fix what they deliberately changed/broke. But not a word in response. 
    Something changed at Fuji and it does not benefit the user.
    -on to other worries.

    It is far more likely something that was overlooked rather than being deliberately sacrificed. These camera are computers connected to lenses, anticipating every outcome to every option is hard to do even when the number of options is very limited. Every camera manufacturer issues firmware update to fix unforeseen issues.
    Fujifilm does listen to requests and feedback. Today, they updated their X-App, the app for controlling some cameras from smartphones and tablets. The update removed needing Location always on. This is something many people requested.
    Depending on which region you live in, Fujifilm lists ways to contact them. If you dig far enough, you can find the contact information for each region, including Japan, here is one for U.S. based customers:
    https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/repair-and-product-support/#contact_us
    Try writing a letter explaining the issue, along with a means to fix it (have a menu option to turn it on or off) that lets everyone use it as they wish. If enough people raise the issue, making changes gains priority over other options.
    I suggest politeness; conspiracy laden rants, regardless of how well intentioned or fact based, will not get your message warm receptions.

    George_P reacted to TumblingTiger in Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R WR vs. Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN lens   
    George, haha! I can assure you, I'm not a Sigma rep😆. I actually love most of my Fuji lenses, including my 16-55 2.8, 50-140 2.8, and the 33 f/1.4 WR. Regarding the 33, I can highly recommend that lens. Unlike the 56mm WR, I've been thrilled with the 33 WR lens. In fact, the 33mm may be my favorite because it's speedy, has an accurate, responsive AF, and just produces great images. This is actually why I hoped and expected the 56mm 1.2 WR to be similar quality, but they honestly feel like they're from two completely different tiers of lenses, mostly because the motor on the 56mm WR is so loud and slow. 
    I'm also just an amateur/enthusiast photographer, and I just can't justify spending so much money on a 56mm WR if the AF is going to struggle so much. I have the Sigma 18-55mm 2.8 and the 56mm 1.4, and both have been stellar--somewhat surprisingly because they're so much less expensive. It's kind of hard to believe. My main beef with Sigmas is that they don't have an aperture ring, which is what I like about Fuji and Viltrox. 
    I also spoke with that same Fujifilm rep who discussed the 56 WR with me in-store (which, to be fully transparent, he said was his favorite lens in the Fuji lens lineup), and he said he would only go for Fuji and Sigma, not Viltrox. He described Sigma as budget, solidly built, and good IQ, while the the Fuji is more expensive, much better built, and has amazing IQ, but the Viltrox in the middle with subpar AF performance.
