  1. I've been using an X-T3 for years... Now I just decided to give an X-T50 a try, mainly for IBIS and supposedly better autofocus... As light goes down it is much worst, I started to notice it immediately! I tried with bot the 27mm 2.8 and the 35 1.4, I know not the best lenses for autofocus, but still the X-T3 handles it much quicker in difficult/dark situations, Here is a video, the first is the X-T3, the second the X-T50: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/14mxqd5xkltwz609x3s52/test-focus.mp4?rlkey=xsc6v5zzke2n4m9q4x2wldoci&dl=0 Tracking is even worst!!! : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9kejtzmlkidyauymh53nk/test-focus2.mp4?rlkey=axg3j51c4nknwgz4ewf9obuj2&dl=0 Both camera same exact settings, both on latest firmware and both in boost mode
  2. Hi to everyone, I'm finding this thing very frustrating and don't even understand why it should happen. I'm using two X-T3s and a X-E 3 and it happens on all those cameras (all the firmware are up to date): When in MF I focus with the AF-On (AF-L) button. Then when half pressing the shutter most of the time (but not always!!!) the lens slightly moves the focus motor before being ready to shoot (the focus is always perfect though). The problem is that if I press the shutter button completely it takes that half a second (doing that little noise) before taking the shot. This is so frustrating when I need to capture the moment. I don't even get why the lens should do it if it's already focused...and on top of that it doesn't happen all of the time. If it does it it's until I focus with the button again, if it doesn't it continues not to do it until I focus again in another spot. It looks like it's random at every new focusing This never happens with the 18 1.4 or other fast focusing primes, but happens exactly the same with the 27 f2.8 or the 18 f2.0. It looks like it affects standard motor lenses. Any other experiences on this behaviour? Thanks!
  3. Hi, I did a search and cannot figure out if the Fuji 35 1.4 ever had the update to the new thicker lens cap v.II The 27 2.8 (old version without aperture ring) for example, at a certain point got the new lens cap v. II This would be a way to check if the lens is very old or newer Thanks
  4. HI, I recently got an X-T30II after having and having had many Fuji cameras. It's the first time the shutter button behaves this way, so I'm wondering if it's normal or malfunctioning. Instead of having "two steps" focus and shot it has an empty travel before it activates the focus. Let me explain, pressing the button with light force makes it travel 1mm or so and then it stops (still no focus engaged), adding a tiny bit of force moves it to the next step and it focuses, again a bit more force for the shot. All my other cameras just have focus at fist amount of press and then shot, no empty travel at the beginning. Hope I've been clear. Any other experiences on this? Is this "normal" in this camera? I had to get used to it and find it very annoying anyway Many thanks
  5. Thanks, I don't really get why they would make similar cameras work differently... Even the older X-E3 worked with the double tap to reset
  6. Hi! I've had a lot of fujifilm cameras from X-E1 on... I now have an X-T3, X-T30II and X100V. They all share the same sensor, processor and kind of menus and functions. So, to reset the focus point on the X-T3 and X100V I double press the joystick, first press opens up the focus point grid and another press resets it to the center. I'm so used to that I absolutely hate that on the X-T30II I have to press the joystick and then the back button. What is the sense of making this function different than the other two cameras (and also other fuji cameras)? I don't think there's a way to change this behavior, am I wrong? Many thanks to share your toughts
