  1. for sequential mode, does it make sense to have 64gb on slot 1 for raw and 32gb slot 2 for jpg?
  2. No issues connecting and uploading to ipad. Have you found a away to set a button for wifi instead of going into the menu?
  3. I also noticed xt2 quicker AF using 60mm macro vs on a xt10, will still hunt but quicker AF.
  4. Hi Cosinaphile, great work so far. let us know how it goes with the ultrafire flat pack. Would be even easier to buy the AC adapter kit that comes with the fake battery, cable can be modded to include DC jack, you could still use AC adapter or your own battery pack. No need to mod a used battery and risk wrong connections or wire shorts. only concern is unprotected ultrafires, is there a protected version just to be on safe side? yeah, I don't know what all the negative talk is about, its the same concept as the T1 and T2 external battery packs for extended usage, T2 with now cable with 3x batteries. current battery is definitely under powered for sure, made more for like point and shoot
  5. Hi, can I use T1 glass screen protector on T2, are they same size? thanks
  6. Agreed and understood in regard to 2 flash system however Nikon Canon bodies are bigger and balanced to accomodate large flash units. There is imbalance with fuji x bodies and large fuji x flashes, yes? Hopefully like you said, there will be something smaller and cheaper down the road as main flash wireless ttl controller I just picked up a used fuji ef-42 flash, does any canon off camera cable work? eos? will be using flash camera bracket, offset the flash and cable for now.
  7. So what is the deal with camera flash like the new fuji 500 model. The thing is huge when put on small fuji x bodies. You have to buy two of these just for remote TTL flash? It is just not fuji but why still have hot shoe when it is so rarely used. Why so difficult to make small wireless TTL commander Built into the body or mount on hot shoe and Allow remote flash? They advance so far with sensors and processors but flash is still same dinosaur as slr film days fuji could have done what yongnuo system does with small master commander and control Multiple flashes, well they still could build one. Im just reading how everyone is struggling with simply wanting remote flash with TTL function 3rd party wireless TTL is great if you can afford it
  8. Hi, Based on your previous Fuji X purchases, what is the time frame you would expect to see price drop on the X-T2, few months, half a year, a year? I am not complaing about the price, Fuji put a lot into the X-T2, it is an awesome piece of technology to own at this time. My gripe is I have Amazon gift card from trade in and I'm losing even more with the added sales taxes. How many months of waiting vs price drop is I guess what I am asking, ball park figures obviously. Supplies could be low and demands high keeping it expensive for quite some time. The fuji x100 was like this, could not touch one for years and just forgot about it.
  9. Hi, I have tried 2 adapters for Fuji so far and no go. Is it a common problem with ebay adapters, quality control is really bad? or just my bad luck. First adapter was sony mount, it would not lock in at all on the camera, was defective batch. 2nd one had light entering where the lens release is positioned. Now I cannot use my Tamron 90mm at all so forked out for a used xf 60mm. 2nd adapter is for Nikon F mount using a Nikon 50mm f1.8. This one has light a soft haze bloom, like shooting through thin layer of fog. I think also due to light leaking in. I gave up on adapters for fuji now. Seems to be lot of trial and error, fingers crossed. My last hope is the 10 and 16mm extension tube adapters. Really hope this one works since there is no fuji 1:1 macro lens out. Hope they will do a 180mm like Tamron's.
  10. Lens is 18-55mm set to f5.6. bright noon sunlight so plenty of contrast. all standard settings.
  11. ok, Im still getting use to the xt10. I had face detection on and shot a group of people in bright day light. some of the photos, it focused on the palm tree behind and faces were out of focus. My mistake here was using the LCD display in bright daylight wheh I should have used the viewfinder, been awhile since I had camera with one. I am still unclear and unsure with AF here. Its set to AF zone. for quick shots like these where you dont have time to move cursor around to pick a focus point, are you just relying on AF? what are your tips on using Auto Focus which is such a basic question when cameras should have little issues with AF. I used iphone at same time and it immediately locked into the faces which kinda stinks fuji could not been more fool proof. I was really surpised I got few out of focus shots even with face detect on, some settings I have done incorrectly? Other question is only the fuji remote app works for me, however it only let me sends one photo at a time, how can I select photos then send at once or send all?
  12. Never mind. The base is just the current settings, not the stored default values.
  13. Hi, I have Quick Menu <Base> all set to standard and 0. I have saved C1-C7 with different settings. When I select of the custom settings then go back to Base, it sticks with the custom setting values that it was one previously. Is this how it works? why have Base then if it is just going to stay on one of the custom settings? So if I want standard and 0, I have to save that, say C1? The Base thing is throwing me. Thanks for clarification.
  14. Good to know for 60mm macro! For real close ups, I always have to use tripod and manual focus for the 90mm macro. I got the shakes really bad. X-t10 has I think 7 slots for lens adaptor and I was able to go in there and set one for 90mm, will fiddle with the numbers when the lens adaptor arrives.
  15. Hi, I am looking at the evga gtx 750ti ftw. I could not search online to find out what the refresh rate for this card at 2560x1440, is it at least 60Hz? It will be mainly for photo editing but occasional gaming. Is this card sufficient set at 2560x1440 for photo editing? I am looking at the Asus PB278Q right now to go with it. It will go into an HP Envy 750-114 desktop so there is not space inside this PC.
  16. sweet! I found a lens adaptor with aperature control ring for alpha mount. I checked the tamron 90mm lens and the aperature remains fully closed when not in use. quick question, there are menu settings in the xt10 for lens adaptor but I think it only goes up to 50mm. Do I select one that gives me correct focus? Thx
  17. I looked it up, its not macro, .15x mag for takumar. I also have a nikon 50mm f1.8D, its not macro either but has 52mm thread same as the marumi, then need a nikon adaptor. either nikon 50mm or fuji 18-55mm on 55mm, max out at 80-85mm / 330(marumi) so only .24x magnification, would not call that macro Fuji XF 60mm macro is great of course but macro work usually involves manual focus and there is the question of how often you use it, so legacy lens looks attractive here.
  18. My high school teacher said locks are to keep honest people out
  19. I feel better already, everything is awesome!!! lol
  20. i just tried xt10 with iphone fuji remote app. Then I tried connecting to fuji using ipad, the message says Camera is busy so looks ok, can only connect to one device at a time. Hey you live in luxurious volcano soil where the food and produce is Cream of the Crop, so enjoy! lol Us poor folks in 1st world USA eat frozen food, fast food, so much processed food and preservatives, when we die our bodies will never decompose. jk Honestly though, I find it so ironic watching food shows on tv, 2nd and 3rd world countries have so many fresh varieties of food while here it's processed, MSG and GMO. We all know its part of the industrial complex and its plan for the populus. In regard to 1984, we are heading there, they make subtle changes but we are headed there. We have RFID technology now, now its a chip in our bank card, why? Why Cloud storage is being adopted? keep watchful and be alert but cant sweat over what you cannot control. I will try and enjoy taking some photos in the mean time...
  21. Darn too bad, Tamron is 90mm is such a nice macro lens. I will try 18-55mm with Marumi achromat +3, once I receive the step down ring Not sure going from 58mm down to 52mm, it will cause vignette. Step down ring is cheap enough to try. not 1:1 but can get in a little closer at 55mm
  22. No, this is not true. When I went to wifi settings in ipad, it connected immediately, did not ask for any code, on the xt10 it did not provide one either. I live in an apartment complex where you can easily grab other peoples wifi and of course they could do same with fuji camera. so if you do this daily, eventually other will notice fuji wifi keep popping up. I guess I could change fuji wifi name to FBI or Homeland security, lol I just find it extremely odd with all this technology Fuji did not add add wifi security protocols. Does not matter if my photos are crappiest in the world, it is a matter of privacy. Yes, timing has to be right but it only takes one time for someone else to connect. I just won't use this feature till they add pass code protection at the very least.
  23. Nice. After reading the limitations on using ipad I went with a refurb i5 Win 10 PC for now.
  24. Back in film days, I had a minolta maxxum with slik tripod, I did not have the legs spread out properly and it tipped over, sending it to its death. smashed filter front lens element, zoom, smashed in. No UV protection helped here... so with my butter fingers I rather have protect filter on it. I guess also for resale, it looks more attractive since you are only cleaning the protect filter and original lens element untouched. I like this forum so far, less ego then others forums, lol. friendly helpful opinions and sharing experiences, thank you.
