  1. Hi John,

    Unfortunately, this is not something that can be fixed in software. It's a limitation of the autofocus sensors on the sensor of the XT-20 (I have the X-T2 and know what you mean). They're just not enough of them, and they're not sensitive enough to work well in the kind of low light situation you're describing when the lens is at F3.5-4.8. 

    So there are two ways to go:

    1) Faster lens. The 50-140 F2.8 will give you 0.5 to 2.5 extra stops of light. It's much more expensive than the 55-200 though. And that might not be enough given the small number of AF points on the X-T20 sensor.

    2) Upgrade to the X-T3/X-T30. Now the X-T4 is out I expect there will be more affordable used X-T3s for sale. The X-T3(0) has 4x the number of autofocus pixels and a processor that is 4x faster, and together these result in much better AF performance.

     

  2. Hi there,

    I've been using Fuji since the X-E1 days and graduated through X-E2, X-T2 and am now enjoying the X-T4. I had been shooting Canon 5D Mk III but loved the light weight and small size of the Fuji X system, and when all my Canon gear was stolen during a house move I never replaced it.

    Landscape and architecture are my favorite things to shoot, but with lockdown I have ventured into macro and still life. Looking at Lightroom stats, the XF10-24mmF4 is my favorite lens to shoot 🙂closely followed by the XF18-55mmF2.8-4, which is way too good for a "kit lens". I recently got the 7Artisans 60mm macro and it's amazing value for money with great image quality and bokeh.

    I'm dating myself here, but I started out learning how to develop and print black & white 120 format film. I came up via the Russian Zenit SLR, Braun Paxette 35mm viewfinder (and external light meter) and Minolta SLR in the film world. I graduated to digital with the Olympus E-10 and then Canon 10D.

    I grew up in the UK but spent most of my career in the US, recently returning to live in Oxford.
