    LeonD got a reaction from f8lee in IBIS on Fuji XT-4 - How do you turn it off?   
    Are you using a lens with OIS?  If you are, turn image stabilization on and off with the lens.  
     
    If you put a lens on the camera without OIS, OFF will suddenly appear in the menu.

    LeonD got a reaction from daleg in Fujifilm XT-1 settings   
    As an experienced X-Pro user, I recently added an X-T1.  The ability to customize was overwhelming.
     
    The first thing I did was shut all the programmable buttons off.  Then i would use the camera.  As I needed an option more than a few times, I'd assign it to a button.  As I went along, options that I accessed more often would be assigned to buttons that were easier to reach.  With in a few days, I had all the options I used assigned to buttons.
     
    And half my programmable buttons still have nothing assigned to them.

    LeonD reacted to Mike K in Pocketable Fuji: X100T vs X-Pro1/27mm   
    On a recent trip to Paris I took both the X-Pro1 & 27mm  as well as the  X100T.
    On days when the weather wasn't great and also when going out at night the X100T worked perfectly. With the lens hood removed the X100T fitted comfortably in my coat pocket.
     
    The other obvious advantage of having both Fuji cameras, rather than a Panasonic or Sony, is the similarity of the button layout and menu interface etc. with the Fujis.
     
    Best,

    LeonD reacted to RadBadTad in Fujifilm Professional Service   
    Last year I had an issue with my X-T1 and battery grip. I had put the grip in my bag without the contact-cap and a couple of the pins bent. I didn't realize, used it with the camera, and caused some errors. I then tried bending the pins back myself, and broke off two of them. I mailed both the body and the grip to Fuji on a Tuesday. They received the box Wednesday morning. They called me Wednesday around noon to talk about it. The person I spoke to was friendly, completely professional, very very kind, and told me that they were re-setting the firmware on the body, and would fix the contacts on the grip. They told me it would ship back out to me on Monday of the following week (four business days) without charge. I told him okay. We hung up. He called me back about 10 minutes later and asked if I thought I needed the camera in that time. I told him I had a couple of shoots scheduled for the weekend, and that I was looking at renting a camera to cover them. He told me he understood, and that since I had shoots to do, he would in stead, just mail me a brand new grip along with my body (which was already re-loaded).
     
    I got it in the mail the next day (Thursday) all free of charge. 
     
    I live in the USA. 
     
    I am also a CPS member, and in November, sent a 5Dmk2 with battery grip in to Canon. The grip had failed (as a lot of them do) and was stuck half-way on the camera and wouldn't tighten or loosen. Some googling informed me that it was a very common problem with their grips, because they use plastic gears in their linkages that frequently strip. I overnighted the package to them. They called me about it six days after they received it. They charged me $95 to remove and fix the grip. They tried to charge me $150 to wipe off the outside of the 5Dmk2, and "verify the shutter count" (which I declined). I said okay. I got a shipping back notification another seven days later, and received the camera four business days after that. 
     
    I have since sold my Canon gear (Not ENTIRELY because of that, but it was definitely a factor) and shoot nothing but my X-T1 (Until my pre-ordered XPro2 arrives)
     
    It's possible that you get "pro service" with "pro cameras" but I prefer to think that the tech was simply having a bad day that day? Either way, I'm overall very pleased with Fuji service.

    LeonD reacted to milandro in X-pro2 launch, keep or sell your x-pro1?   
    I suppose that wait and see is the best strategy.
     
    My take on this issue (and many other things) is that the great majority of the photographers don’t even use the older camera which they have to the fullest of its possibility and they are only missing what others are telling them that they are missing but have never found the limits of their equipment but rather think that they can expand their own personal limits ( those they are finding every time they pick up any camera) by buying some “ chops in a box”.
     
    Most of these folks would take the same pictures of their girlfriend or grandchildren even if you give them a X-Pro-2000.
     
     
    If I have to judge from what I see published by many, very few indeed need an upgrade compared to the X-Pro-1 which they have.

    You buy this lens for its incredible IQ / feel / weight / magic / price, not for the AF.
     
    It's more than adequate for everything walking, but not running.

    I've heard a lot of Fuji X Shooters say that the 35 ƒ1.4 is the absolute must own lens in the Fuji XF lenses.  It will be my next lens, then I'll start saving my pennies for the 56...
