    some useres are very happy in general with adapters on Fuji. do you have experience with this lens/Fuji combination?
  2. huck222
    uhm... have you never heard about Adapters? Canon (or other) lenses do work on Fuji bodies. With one of different adapters... like fringer and many more.

    ...and oh my goodness, just came across the Viltrox FX2, which uncrops the crop factor =). WOW. Anyone kno wbout the image quality of this glass? It's highly seductive so far..

    Hi all, does anyone have experience with a K&F adapter and the Canon TSE lens? I understand i cannot set the aperture with the Fuji camera. Now: Some say a canon lens will default to open aperture. While K&F says, it will stop down fully, (which i can't imagine). Some say, set the aperture on a Canon body, then take the lens off (probably while holding the shut-aperture-button??). Can anyone tell if and how it works? Thanks! I mean, that TSE 17 mm is a wonderful piece of glass and all 😃

    When reviewing images on the LCD in bright light, i have to shade the LCD with my hand. That turns the LCD off, which is silly. Ok, i get it, the eye sensor switches between EVF and LCD. But how can i review an image in bright light, shade it, and keep the stupid LCD on? i guess we need an option to turn the eye sensor off in review mode. I do still chimp, anyone does not? =) How to you think of this?

    my dealer gave me an exchange body from their rent meanwhile. its the same thing. Now i'm watching the scale in the viewfinder. It jumps around between infinite and 3 m really, on the same object. Like those trees, or really contrasty objects in a 3meter range. Well, lets see what they say. For now i'm pretty freaked out by this AF joke.

    Dumb and dumber. If a tool doesn't do its expected job, then good luck with using it. How hard is it to get that. "It's the tool, stupid." This sort of thoughtless irrelevant remarks is what makes forums mostly a waste of time. At times.
  8. huck222
    thanks, that raises my hopes. sent it in yesterday...

    Well, guess there's one of this kind in every forum. Wouldn't be a forum without one perfectly dumb answer in every thread. Look, Mr Manual, this is an AF acurracy test. If the camera can't focus on a static tree, then good luck with a running rabbit. Goodness me !!
  10. huck222
    thanks, no, it's focus priority and AF-S, not C. even otherwise, the AF should focus correctly in this very static setting.
  11. huck222
    Oh ok, didnt know PhAF is only sensitive to vertical lines. Its not like Fuji would specify that =). Regarding Backlight, No really, really there was no backlight whatsoever.
  12. huck222
    right, you have all the reality you WANT . Some call it "alternative facts" It's kinda hard to discuss a problem here, without reading posts. Well then, lets focus on photography again. And specific technical answers.
  13. huck222
    well my friend, it seems to me you've lost a bit touch with the reality of your words. If quoting you doesn't help you see, well then have it your way. Whatever.
  14. huck222
    Well now, that's funny. What was that "best of luck with your other cameras? I've shown you some "luck" with Canon, a DSLR that is, without that grid pattern flare, caused by sensor reflections it seems (because what sort of lens could produce such a grid?), which you do not believe. The sun i the frame, was for you "a freak way to photograph". So maybe my "misreading" was caused by your misspelling. But i do appreciate the entirely new tone and content of what you are saying now. =)
  15. huck222
    Fine. So we both agree, that DOF is not the point. The question then arises, WHY would the camera focus past infinity? That's the point here. Why does the AF not focus correctly? Are fine structures a probelm for this type of AF? Spent yesterday with "easier" subjects, and got less blurrs. But still, some glitches.
  16. huck222
    well you shouldn't be surprised, since you can rate Canon RAWs, for instance, in camera. Today, the service emailed me, that there is no software that can read the rating. WHATT?? So its just a useless toy. You cant even filter them in-camera, so maybe to export them via WIFi to your tablet. Nothing. Unbelievable. My dealer told me, Silkypix can read fuji stars, but i'm waiting for their answer, and i wont buy a software just for the rating. Some talk about exiftool, bit that seems to be for coders or something...
  17. huck222
    Okay, but as you said "everything will appear out of focus, even with a small aperture." So, a small aperture is no fix here. And should not be required to compensate for AF inacurracy.
  18. huck222
    well i think at 35 mm 1/250s can be no shake. And then you usually can see some lets call ist "directional moving blurriness" =)
  19. huck222
    Regarding Fuji, i found that a aperture not smaller than f/9 is best, avoiding that flare grid pattern. Stopped down beyond f/11, the ugly grid shows more or less. Which is bothering, because with landscapes apertures smaller than f9 are pretty common. See attached comparison. In this instance even at f22 its kinda okay-ish, but its definatly something not to be ignored.

    Well, you were criticizing him harshly for shooting against the sun, saying it's not the problem of the camera/lens, but the photographer. Right? Well, it think that is totally wrong. Ok guys, sorry for the late follow up. Don't get me wrong, i am not talking about MY work, but about the world of photography out there, where the sun IN a picture is very very common and attractive. And the Fuji System has some issues with it. Mostly it seems, because of reflections between back lens and sensor. Here's a picture taken with my Canon. Any problems there, Milandro? I dont see any. Some flare is okay or beautiful. Some taken with Canon are worse, yes, but Fuji is a different world. That's the point of this thread now isn't it?

    ...and just to get that DOF thing out of the way, those trees are about 80 meters/yards away, so at that focal lenght DOF is not a point really.
  22. huck222
    here's another sample. f5,6 softer than f4. very contrasty object again, i would say.
  23. huck222
    Oh my goodness, here we go. Listen Mr. smart, i do understand depth of field and all. But. This question is about AF accuracy. Why is there AF anyway? If i point my camera at a tree, then the AF should just do it's job, and focus on that tree. Right? Because it is a tool. Why do you think i was in automatic mode? I was in manual. By the way, on many many shots in this series, f5,6 was way softer than f/4. Also had soft images with stopped down apertures. So again, this is about AF acurracy. And you know, sometimes we use an open aperture. And i'm used to AF tools that just focus on that focus point.

    the XT-2 Autofocus seems to have severe issues with certain fine structures. Just spent many frustrating hours: I was actually testing lenses on what i thought makes a perfect object: fine twigs against the sky. Set it on a tripod, with the 10-24. The AF is very inaccurate or erratic, at 24 mm i get many blurry images. Same with the super sharp 35/f2, but smaller differences. (No problems with the 56, thats perfect). Also tested it on the X-T1, kind of the same issues. I might have it repaired/exchanged, and HOPE there's a fix. I'm wondering if maybe the AF System can not "see" fine structures, like fine branches. But it's high contrast against the sky (the rather poor AF on my old Canon 5D2 and 6D never had problems like this). That would mean serious problems with landscape photography...i mean, it's just a usual object. Nothing extreme or difficult for AF. Attached a 100% crop: image to the right is sharp, shot right after the blurry one. I got tons of that erratic sharpness. New firmware, all 135 AF points activated. Single point focus. Looking forward to your opinions/experiences...thanks!

    hey guys. I rated today's shoot in camera X-T2, now those stars dont show in LR. I'm amazed how little is on the net at all, and no real answer. Nobody doing that rating in camera? Thanks for your help ! cheers
