  1. Hi guys

    Not too many topics about the 50R ... hence this crossposting as I think the answer may come from here as well ...

    Here we are : I need some help about the problem as exposed in the tittle :  In the GFX 50R menus (probably like in 50S' ones) , there is an option for customizing lenses from other brands one can use with an adapter ring. Same as with the X-T series.

    No problem for declaring the focal lenght, works fine; the hitch is on the next lines which remain greyed out, and thus not usable (adjusting vignetting, distortion, color ...) Nice things but out of reach !

    Disregarding this problem, the adapter (Fotodiox Pro) works fine with some of my old Nikkor's.

    Does some one out there have an idea ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Regards

    Not too many topics about the 50R ... Nevermind ... Well, I need some help about the problem as exposed in the tittle :  In the GFX 50R menus, there is an option for customizing lenses from other brands one can use with an adapter ring. Same as with the X-T series.

    You're blaspheming  !!!  Shame on you !!! Don't you know (surely you do know) that ...

     

    ... Ken Rockwell is the Chuck Norris of photography

    Ken Rockwell's camera has similar settings to ours, except his are: P[erfect] Av[Awesome Priority Tv[Totally Awesome Priority] M[ajestic]

    Ken Rockwell doesn't color correct. He adjusts your world to match his.

    Sure, Ken Rockwell deletes a bad photo or two. Other people call these Pulitzers.

    Ken Rockwell doesn't adjust his DOF, he changes space-time.

    Circle of confusion? You might be confused. Ken Rockwell never is.

    Ken Rockwell doesn't wait for the light when he shoots a landscape - the light waits for him.

    Ken Rockwell never flips his camera in portrait position, he flips the earth

    Ken Rockwell ordered an L-lens from Nikon, and got one.

    Ken Rockwell is the only person to have photographed Jesus; unfortunately he ran out of film and had to use a piece of cloth instead.

    When Ken Rockwell brackets a shot, the three versions of the photo win first place in three different categories

    Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker

    Once Ken tested a camera, he said I cant even put Canon on this one,thats how Pentax was born

    Rockwellian policy isn't doublethink - Ken doesn't even need to think once

    Ken Rockwell doesn't use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident.

    Only Ken Rockwell can take pictures of Ken Rockwell; everyone else would just get their film overexposed by the light of his genius

    Ken Rockwell wanted something to distract the lesser photographers, and lo, there were ducks.

    Ken Rockwell is the only one who can take self-portraits of you

    Ken Rockwell's nudes were fully clothed at the time of exposure

    Ken Rockwell once designed a zoom lens. You know it as the Hubble SpaceTelescope.

    When Ken unpacks his CF card, it already has masterpieces on it.

    Rockwell portraits are so lifelike, they have to pay taxes

    On Ken Rockwell's desktop, the Trash Icon is really a link to National Geographic Magazine

    Ken Rockwell spells point-and-shoot "h-a-s-s-e-l-b-l-a-d"

    When Ken Rockwell went digital, National Geographic nearly went out of business because he was no longer phyically discarding photos

    For every 10 shots that Ken Rockwell takes, 11 are keepers.

    Ken Rockwell's digital files consist of 0's, 1's AND 2's.

    Ken Rockwell never focus, everything moves into his DoF

    Ken Rockwell's shots are so perfect, Adobe redesigned photoshop for him: all it consists of is a close button.

    The term tripod was coined after his silhouette

    Ken Rockwell never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer

    A certain braind of hig-end cameras was named after people noticed the quality was a lot "like a" rockwell

    Ken Rockwell isn't the Chuck Norris of photography; Chuck Norris is the Ken Rockwell of martial arts.

    Ken Rockwell never starts, he continues

  4. Hi everybody

     

    I'm trying to use lenses and adapters I commonly used with my X-T1 (Nikkor's AIS, Metabones and Kipon); all that together was working fine on my X-T1.

     

    I am probably wrong somewhere with my X-T2 settings (Auto ISO, Auto S or not, MF), but I can't get any shutter release, MS or ES ...

     

    Sorry if the answer already exists on this forum, I didn't find it (neither did I elsewhere).

     

    So my question is : Do you guys have any idea or solution ?

     

    Thanks in advance

  5. Hi Val

     

    Thanks for answering; same result for me, found nothing in the manual. Only the symbols.

     

    I remember I saw in previews and announcement that the X-T2 should show up precise percentage for each battery ... Maybe only with booster grip ?

     

    I still wonder how the chaps got it !

  6. Hi JRphoto

     

    You're really more skilled than I am, that time without the smallest bit of irony, I have to apologize; not tried your method yet, but I surely will (as I wrote, I want to keep my X-T1).

     

    Thanks for the tip, will be useful to many, among them ...

     

     ... JpP

     

    Btw, why did Fujifilm introduce an alternate way of doing that with the X-T2 ?

  7. Hi JRphoto

     

    You're more skilled than I am; with my X-T1 I only can achieve a back button focusing by using the manual focus mode (so no continuous AF tracking mode). As I intend to keep this body as a backup, I'd be glad to learn more about your technique.

     

    Btw, back button focus seems to appear (maybe I'm wrong) as a new spec on the X-T2; have a look at Rico's review here http://www.fujirumors.com/first-look-review-fujifilm-x-t2/
