  1. I'm surprised to hear that and it certainly isn't the norm from what I've seen in my area of Canada. The agents I have shot for over the years could care less about my gear and want me from seeing my website images or word of mouth. They know they get well lit, fast turn around and no distortion images where I help the agent (sometimes) declutter and make small room changes to create better images of the property. That's what matters as I'm sure everyone on this forum would agree. I would be temped to do some of those shoots with my Fuji and I would expect no agent to know what sensor is in my camera nor even ask.
  2. I have not used my XT2 in the way you are but I have never had freezing problems.
  3. I have used for years and had much success with Fuji 10-24mm f4 XF R OIS
  4. Sorry, very late. Yes, F values do not go to the camera body since there are no electronics connecting the lens to the body. You have to change the option in the menu to allow taking pic's without a lens. The body doesn't recognize the lens thus thinks there is no lens on the body and by default it will disable the shutter button.
  5. Sorry. Very late to this thread but I'm running 3.81 on my X-Pro1 and I can use the EVF and I do see the changes I make to custom settings of film rendition. Such as change to B&W. What I see on the rear LCD is the same as the EVF. If I change Whites/Blacks to the extreme I can see the change on the EVF. I didn't realize there was a 3.82 and based off this I think I will not do the update. I don't think it would cause me much trouble but can certainly see it being frustrating since shooting in B&W while doing manual focus (which is what I mostly do on my Pro1 due to vintage glass on it).
  6. Thank you for the replies. I know the difference between continuous and shooting only modes. I feel the little description on the LCD for continuous mode doesn't help and is confusing. But having read manuals, it's pretty straight forward. So ... it appears that if the lens has a OIS on/off switch, we can go with just IBIS if we want (and in the menu turn off IBIS when on a tripod). But if the lens doesn't have a switch then the lens OIS is on if the body IBIS is on and off if the body IBIS is off.
  7. This is why I have always used my iPhone for pano's and been repeated impressed with the results.
  8. Hi. Recently got the combo XT4 and 16-80/4 lens and was really surprised to see no OIS on/off switch like my 10-24/4 lens. I see in the menu an option for IS on/off ... I'm assuming that is for just the sensor? Is there no way to turn the lens IOS off but have just the sensor on or is this setup that when the menu says "on" both lens and sensor are on ... and when the menu says "off" both the lens and sensor are off? Thanks!
  9. Oh, OK. Thanks. I thought that either Fuji would have them for download or Skylum would have had their own version for download. But if I have to find them through some LUT provider, then the search begins ....
  10. I just purchased Luminar 2018 and looking forward to the Dec 2018 release of their cataloging tool. When I open a Fuji XT2 raw file, under LUT's there are no Fuji profiles. I contacted their support and they said 'you have to load LUTs to see them in the list'. Fair enough. Problem is when I go to Skylums website there are no Fuji LUT's to download on their LUT's download page. I thought the offered Fuji colour profiles? Maybe I am confusing techniques and terminology? Where would I get the proper Fuji LUT's if that is what I am to use? Fuji website only has one LUT and that is for F-Log video. Thanks!
  11. Great group of images. The B&W works well. Like any grouping of images, some are really strong and some aren't. That would be an interesting subject to photograph.
  12. I also purchased a used X-Pro1 over a year back. I already have 2 XT2's that I've used pretty heavy for wedding work and wanted to give this style of camera a try. I don't like that the focus peek assist for adapted lenses is so very weak compared to XT2. I mostly wanted it for adapted lenses but the focus peak colour highlight is pretty crappy on the X-Pro1. And when I use Fuji glass the auto focus performance is quite poor. But it is to be expected since it is an old gen camera. I mostly expected to use adapted glass anyways. You can't get a feel for current Fuji equipment when using the old X-Pro1. If you enjoy the Pro1 and want to try something more modern with greatly improved performance, the Pro2 would be a substantial upgrade. But for just playing around (like myself) the Pro1 may give you years of great results.
  13. I had a Nikon D700 fail due to power board/power connector issue (so they say). It was out of warranty as well and cost approx the same. Had many more actuation's that yours, but actuation's aren't really related to a motherboard issue. Of course it failed at the start of a wedding gig I was doing. Had a Nikon D610 curtain blow out of the track and get jammed. It was again ... out of warranty and no where near the actuation count the shutter mechanism was rated for. That was around the same cost to repair. Of course it failed at the start of a wedding gig as well. Needless to say I don't own any Nikon gear anymore.
  14. If not wanting to go with custom white balance .... this may help ... I usually shoot portraits in Astia film sim. I've used that mode for years shooting weddings and found it to be great. This is assuming the lighting in the environment you are shooting isn't wacky (i.e in blue shade or under yellow/green florescent lighting in a community centre, etc).
