Hello all! I have designed some Eyecup Adapters for the Fuji X-T10 X-E2 in the past, allowing to mount the Nikon DK-19 Eyecup on the camera because the straylight and smearing caused by the small eyepieces of my cameras annoyed me. I won't post any links here because I don't want to misuse the forum for advertising, but some of you might know the shop As there are some complaints around the net about the little eyepiece of the X-T1, even with the extended eyecup, I wonder if some of you are interested in a similar adapter for the X-T1/2? Also, some people asked me about an Adapter for the X100 series, so how about this? The reason why I am asking you here is because designing those adapters is mostly a hobby for me without much profit, and due to the fact that I would have to buy a used X-T1 / X100 for designing the adapter and trying out the prototypes, I would like to evaluate whether the demand is high enough to cover the costs. EDIT: Oh, I have just gathered that the I should have posted the thread in the Accessories board. Please feel free to move the thread accordingly; I am very sorry!

That is a very understandable view, of course Thank you!

Hi, As you can easily see on the link, this is not a "download from a forum post", but a project hosted on github, which one of the most popular hosting services for Open Source software and considerably more reliable than many portals providing bloatware-infected "freeware" . Also, as the source code is provided, you are free to check the software for malware by yourself if you feel inconfident with downloading binaries.

Thank you both for your kind words! I have used the wrong term, sorry In fact, you have to pan and tilt the camera, which corresponds to the shifting of the sensor in Olympus cameras. Thank you for that useful report! I will look into it as soon as I have access to a Windows machine.

Yes. The point is that VerySharp upscales the images prior to alignment so that, under the assumption that the shifts between the images are represented by an even distribution on a subpixel level, the resulting image stack on the upscaled subpixel grid can be interpreted as a high resolution image convolved with the superposition of a box kernel with the size of the upscaling factor and the upscaling operator. Thus, proper deconvolution recovers that high resolution image to some extent, which is also performed by VerySharp. Also, as far as I know, panotools use a feature-based approach for image alignment, which is the best solution for the purpose of panotools, whereas most probably it does not provide the accuracy needed here, which is the reason for using the slower iterative ECC algorithm provided by OpenCV. That is an interesting idea However, rotating the camera (shifting would not work due to perspectivic distortions) could not be done with the required precision using normal tools, and the projection of the lenses prevents a homogeneous shift of the image over the whole sensor area during rotation... Doing sub-pixel alignments when shooting the images is not even necessary because doing random sampling (shooting handheld ) and reconstructing the shifts with sub-pixel alignment does the job quite well. Of cause there is always room for improvement, but I doubt that the extensive effort would pay off in terms of resolution gain.

Hi all, I am working on a program, called VerySharp, which is inspired by the pixel-shifting feature used by some modern cameras. It aims to provide an algorithm that enhances photo resolution using multiple exposures. This is realized by extracting sub-pixel information from the little image shifts in a series of hand-held images, yielding a relolution gain of approximately factor two under good circumstances. I am a Fuji X user and therefore development an testing of the program was mainly done using my X-T10. It seems like the X-Trans sensor works well with VerySharp. Verysharp is open source and therefore completely free. Please keep in mind that I am developing this in my free time and it is still in a quite early development stage. Especially, as I am a Linux user, I am still experimenting regarding packagin VerySharp for Windows users. So far, the provided exe file seems to run well on Windows 8 and above if recent updates are installed. So have fun while giving it a try please feel free to share feedback and any bugs you encounter https://wilecoyote2015.github.io/VerySharp/
