    5000-6400 ISO with the teleconverter 1.4, 2500-3200 without it
  2. Matthias46
    It works very good...and also it works very good with the Teleconverter 1.4x. Is sharp and the autofocus is untouched in the speed and precision! HCB Bolzano vs Vienna by Matthias Egger, su Flickr

    Already subscribed to you but "softness" is outstanding!

    I opened a thread at the Day One of the X-T2 (literally picked from the shop and brought at the match 6 hours later, alongside my Canon 1Dx of course because was work and needed to be sure of the result): http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/4623-x-t2-does-it-work-for-hockey/ I can now say after months of work that i prefer working with my T2 over the Canon. I use the Canon onlt in the Hockey stadiums where i need the extra light that my 300 2.8 can provide (please Fuji, start to make a 300 F2.8 please). Now i am very satisfiied of the performance of the T2, even when using the teleconverter.

    Sorry, missed this reply. I was shooting above the Plexi

    I added the 1,4x Teleconverter in order to be able to shoot also from the stands! it works pretty well HCB Bolzano vs Znojmo by Matthias Egger, su Flickr HCB Bolzano vs Innsbruck by Matthias Egger, su Flickr

    I know but when you make such a strong statement you must be 100% sure to have the reason... And that is why i dislike such sentences!
  11. Matthias46
    I really dislike that sentence! And for my experience is simply not true. And i shoot Hockey for work, i can't think to a sport that is more fast and difficult to shoot than that because of the combination of extreme speed/low light!

    Great opportunity for me to shoot something outside my usual work (Sport). I made a work with 2 great models and 2 great Harley Davidson.

    Yes...learned to set the WB, was easier than the Canon infact, but i needed a brain reboot For the tight action shots and raw shooting you need to wait for tomorrow when i will do another match! And yes you were really close to me, i go to that wonderful lake very often...not for work...only fun

    Ok some updates! I used the 2 AF setting that keeps the focus also when something appears in front of the original object. Seems like the correct choice because the camera now is a razor and i have very few images out of focus. also i was able to set the WB spot on, i made an error the first time. This is from another city, keep in mind that they may be very bright depending on your monitor because i need them that way (the paper of the newspaper is shit) Innsbruck, Austria Clark Seymour by Matthias Egger, su Flickr Then i came back to my home city and made this for a work where i put also some editing to replicate a work that i made with the Canon. Really i must say that working the jpg's of the Fuji is simply easier because the start is better ! Color is nicer and i tuned the noise setting to -1. This gave me much better skin tones and also preserve the details!

    Is the Palonda yes...nice eye mate . Is pretty much the same workflow as me apart from the fact that I will ingest all the photos (also I use PhotoMechanic) and I have 15 minutes after the first period of the game to send the images! So I usually skip the rating you make in the first 10min. Easier job for me because sometimes I can even send them after the game and not after the first period Tomorrow I will go in a foreign city to shoot another match but Sunday I am again at the Palaonda and will report new thing I will experience: 1. White Balance to set correctly (didn't like that one above, but 1 min was too fast to learn) 2. Correctly set the AF behavior 3. Will try to shoot the difficult and most intense action If you want send me your email in PM so I remember to post for you! Unfortunately seems that my Battery Grip isn't arrived, so unless tomorrow will be a surprise, also this 2 matches will be shooted without BG!

    Hi Fotned! I will follow your suggestion and will try to go shooting a match outside my contract so i can experiment a bit Will report here again when i have some conclusions
  17. Matthias46
    I wasn't using the Grip because my seller runned out of them. I think i will be able to get it in a couple of days. The camera definetely showed some heating but was identical to my old X-T10. Really nothing serious! Yeah there is a much bigger zone but for that i like the 3x3 because i don't want to get the camera to try to focus something at the edges. I want the player in front of me and that's it

    I was shooting Jpegs. I need to give the photos to the newspaper as soon as the match is finished, so no time to convert a RAW! I also had only 1 minutes to try to set the WB, because they make a pre-show where the lights are out and with a new camera 1 minute wasn't enough. need to make experience on how Fuji works there! I used 2 of this http://www.lexar.com/products/memory-cards/sd/Professional-2000x-SDHC-SDXC-UHS-II.html You have 5 preconfigured AF settings and one that is customizable by you. I used the first one that is labelled as "multifunction". Sorry, used the wrong word Zone AF with the 3x3 square!

    First official work. I'd say is pretty pretty good. I need more experience in tweaking the Autofocus to my liking, but with the Universal one the behaviour is really good! Never used my Canon 1Dx that i brought as insurance Only trouble i had was to set the White Balance. Since was my first shooting with the X-T2 the photos where all a bit cold, with the Canon i was able to set it spot on picking the ice with a slightly off focus image! With the Fuji this didn't work :| Travis Oleksuk and Marco Insam by Matthias Egger, su Flickr Jesse Root and Brodie Reid by Matthias Egger, su Flickr Andrew Yogan by Matthias Egger, su Flickr Nick Palmieri by Matthias Egger, su Flickr
