Scratchen

The saga continues. After emailing the Fuji support team here in Sweden today, they asked me to send in both the X-T2 and battery grip. Maybe there's also something hardware related going on that we don't know about.

Well I've been testing today again, taking around 3000 shots at CH 11fps. Uncompressed RAW. No lockups! Just tried switching it back to compressed RAW, and guess what, it locked up within the second burst of shots, took just a few seconds. Again, I had to remove the battery grip to reset it. To be sure, I did this twice, and it locked up both times. So for me it's a no brainer, the compressed raw is to blame.

Just wanted to share my observations. I've owned the X-T2 since september 2016, and I've pretty much been having lockups since day one - always in CH or CL. The lockups would freeze the camera completely, sometimes with a white EVF/LCD, and the green/orange LED being constantly orange. The only way to get it out of the lockup would be to remove the batteries in the grip. At first I was using third party batteries in the booster grip (but the original NP-W126S in camera). Then I read it might be a battery related problem, so I bought two more NP-W126S. Didn't fix anything... Then I read it might be related to my Lexar 64GB 150MB/s UHS-II cards, so I bought two new Sandisk 64GB 300MB/s UHS-II cards. Didn't fix anything either...! At this point it started to get pretty expensive... Scanned through every thinkable menu option and tried switching off "compressed raw". Well, I've been pushing my X-T2 all day now, shooting about 300GB of photos at 11fps, WITHOUT any freezing! This could be it. I'll continue to test this, and get back to you.

I returned my new 23/2 WR today. Have been testing it for 2 days, and I was actually really disappointed. I shoot almost everything wide open, and so the performance at f2 is critical. Unfortunately the 23/2 WR is a very poor performer wide open... Its soft, almost to the degree where you start to wonder if it actually front/back focuses. At close distances it produces a lot of ghosting/halos/softness. Im glad I didn't sell my 23/1.4! Was really looking forward to replace it with something smaller and lighter - I love the 35/2 WR!

Thanks! I wasn't aware that was the case, haven't noticed it before. Maybe the AF became so much faster with 2.0 that it made the difference more noticeable.

Tested a bunch of my lenses, and the OVF is sluggish with every one of them. So this doesn't seem to be an issue with a specific lens...

I just noticed this.. And Im pretty sure my X-Pro2 didn't do this before the 2.00 update? When using the EVF, the AF speed is very snappy and precise, but when switching to OVF, the AF speed drops to about 1/2 the speed. I've recorded a short clip where you see me switching from EVF to OVF, notice the difference in speed! Lens used is the 35/2. Can someone confirm this issue please?
