yes, but I suppose that next to the common sense ones which tell us that a very flimsy shutter would easily be damaged, there are also technical reasons , which make all brands, to date, have chosen not to do that. One is probably that this would only work with the camera switched on while doing this since the shutter is probably acting on the influence of magnets. This question of yours has been asked around the internet ever since there are mirrorless cameras http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/53911552 http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/50163/why-shutter-is-not-closed-by-default-on-mirrorless-cameras-as-its-closed-on-fil http://photo.net/digital-camera-forum/00chf0

nice swirl. Would be very nice to see how the various Helios performs against this lens. Of course the fact that any Helios costs a pittance might not fare all than well with sales.

my Jill.E Jack large messenger should qualify http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/651200-REG/Jill_E_Designs_144744_Jack_Messenger_Camera_Bag.html at less than $200 is a great deal. 1255374251000_651200.jpg PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Fits Two SLR Camera, 3-4 Lens Kit Fits 15" Laptop Computer Columbian Leather Exterior and Interior Pockets Carry Handles Removable Shoulder Strap with Pad

if I were you I would put an eyelet in the whole that you’ve burnt. Eyelets are easy to set and they cost almost nothing. That will make your strap safe and last forever. As for inexpensive strap, some cost less than $2 shipped to you and are way safer. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-Vintage-Color-Hippie-Style-Durable-Cotton-Camera-Neck-Shoulder-Strap-Belt-for-Canon-for-Nikon/32463696356.html?spm=2114.30010308.3.1.sPnYve&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_2,searchweb201602_2_10017_10005_10006_10034_10021_507_10022_508_10032_10020_10018_10019,searchweb201603_1&btsid=69861db7-8e0b-44d0-afe8-deda293806db

Ideal feature to collect water inside the bag when it rains. The recently passed away Dutch soccer champion Johan Cruyff was famous for phrases a bit like Yogi Berra’s ( who passed away one year before). He coined a phrase which is now commonplace in the Dutch idiom. Every advantage has its disadvantage.

suggestive shape

a bargain

no, not possible, welcome by the way!

precisely

EVF is a million years better, even of the X pro 2, you only need to peek in once to immediately see the difference and that woudl be a very important reason to prefer the X-T1

I have used it, though briefly, the only thing I liked was the joystick.

certainly, I don’t own the thread, I just started it and anyone is welcome.

I wouldn’t change my X-T1 for a X Pro 2. I don’t care for video and acros simulations ( which can be done in many other ways)

there will always be a newer camera and the new X-T2 will cost an arm and a leg while the X-T1 will drop certainly at very low levels once that other one is out. IF ( because we don’t know the future) the X-T2 is anything like the X-T1 + all the new things of the X Pro 2, in my opinion, the jump to Generation 2 is not worth the money that it would cost. In other words unless you need the 24Mp ( really?) and the joystick ( very nice!), if you are going to wait,wait for Generation 3 because to date these aren’t fundamental changes! As for you original question. I’ve recently fiddled around with the X pro 2 of a friend and I still by a very long stretch prefer my EVF to the X pro 2 EVF. If you are an OVF person there is no contest, the X T2 ain’t got one. If you wear spectacles the very good thin is the dioptric correction combined to the extended eye cup.

Aristophanes’ clouds

you know how they say, Oy Vey! if my grandmother had wheels she would be a wagon!

yes, I understand that you want to know whether this is common, but an estimate from the lab will tell you how much this costs. It might cost you nothing, since Fuji has done this time and time again. Trying to repair this lens on you own, see the video above, would have avery uncertain outcome and for sure open the door to many more problems. If it were my lens i would certainly send it in for an estimate and then one can always decide wether to let them repair it or not. Good luck.

Israel is a mostly dry country

why not sending to the official lab?

my pleasure.

then I think it is sensor banding anyway, read about it.

well done

EV is Exposure value if you want the complicate version where N is the relative aperture (f-number) t is the exposure time (“shutter speed”) in seconds .......or read the wikipedia page which will give you all of the above + the layman explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value

It’s possible that this is sensor banding noise Are you using, by any chance the electronic shutter and the light was led or fluorescent? http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/image-noise.htm

I agree with Larry Bloch, Knowledge is power. Know Thy camera! I have a dear friend of mine whose attitude towards photography has been, consistently, ever since there were autofocus cameras, to rely of the camera doing all the thinking. She uses her camera ( a FF Nikon no less!) to document her scientific and professional activity but doesn’t possess an understanding of general photography nor does she know her camera. She had to leve for a month to the tropics for an historic research, and the NIGHT BEFORE, she calls me a wanted me, on the phone, to explain how her camera worked. I told her that her best chance was, ih her case, to rely on the various program modes offered by the camera. They have things like landscape, landscape at night, portrait, portrait at night and so on Of course since many cameras ( fuji too) are being produced to cater for someone who wouldn’t necessarily know how to use a camera they have these easy way out. However understanding what is what is a lot better. I am afraid that there isn’t an aperture for epic landscapes but the understanding of how aperture is related to depth of field and what its relation is to shutter speed is fundamental. Unlike traditional analog photography, modern digital photography can make a much better use of the ISO. Whereas before we had a film and varying its sensitivity implied different processing and a serious impact on the film rendering. digital photography is a lot less problematic when it comes to this. I have found that even at 1600 ISO the camera still gives outstanding results. In fact It has been argued that in modern digital photography easy and quick access to the ISO controls is just as important as the shutter or the aperture. In all honesty Kate, the best that you can do is invest not only in reading the manual but maybe consider taking some courses. In just a few days you will interiorize much more than any book would ever give you and it will be fun. First a general course on general photography and then a specialized one ( landscape, macro) and so on. Good Luck!
