  1. Good eye! Great timing to place plane against the bright spot in the clouds.
  2. If you want double exposure and raw files, why not shoot two separate raw files and combine in the post processing editor? You have lots of options then. Even blending modes, for really unusual colors, etc.
  3. I bought a more compact charger "XIT" from China with two batteries. After a while, the batteries started being 'tight' in the camera and I had to hit the bottom of the camera on the heal of my hand to get them out far enough to pull out. I quit using them. When I examined the batteries, I noticed the case seam was partly open. I could pull on it and separate the two halves. The batteries didn't seem to be swelled or leaking, just not glued together properly. I do like the charger--much more compact and has the fold away power plug (no cord).
  4. If you want Classic Chrome for an older camera, you might check this fellow's website: http://www.colorfidelity.com/ You can get camera profiles for LightRoom by brand and model of camera. Has anyone tried his profiles?
  5. You might take a look at this article: https://photographylife.com/fujifilm-raw-and-lightroom I've been using the X-T1 for over a year. Shooting lots of landscapes and don't have a problem with "mushy greens." I think that may have been a problem with the RAW file processors in the "early days."
  6. The other 'rule of thumb' is to focus 1/3 of the way into the scene that you want in focus. The DOF should be approximately 1/3 closer to camera and 2/3 further from focus point.
  7. Think back to the Spotmatic and then the SP500. Drop a few features and lower the price. Success! It was so successful that it was carried into the Pentax "K" series of cameras also. The K-1000 was produced from 1976 till 1997! A really long product life!
  8. Two unusual windows from my "portals" collection.
  9. You have to answer the question-What are you going to do with it? I have the XF 14 for real estate shots. and the 8mm for just for fun.
  10. Why not have both (in the 8mm Fisheye)? CS6 and CC have a special way to correct the fisheye to straight lines. [Older versions of PS have more complicated ways of doing similar adjustments.] Watch this video to see how it works: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adaptive-wide-angle-filter.html There are lots of other demos of techniques. But, I have used this with my X-T1 and the 8mm Samyang.
  11. I have both the 18~55 and the 18~135. Got the latter for a trip to Hawaii (4 islands). Didn't rain on us even on the rainy side of Hilo. So, didn't test the weather resistance with my X-T1. It is bigger than the 18~55; but after I got home, I left it on the camera for several months and carried it on many hiking trips in the Superstition Mountain area of AZ. (Good for dust protection also). Just now put the 18~55 back on the X-T1. Don't have any distinct opinion about one being sharper than the other. Guess I should set up a tripod and do comparison shots. But, I've been satisfied with images from both lenses. Full size image is here: http://www.lonetreeimages.com/Imgs/Hawaii_5132.jpg
  12. I debated between the two cameras systems before I purchased my first X - X-E1. I decided I wanted the smaller size and weight. The X-T1 and my lenses are very good--good enough I use them professionally. My Canon 5D Mk II & lenses sit in the case most of the time. The Canon set will be sold when the next generation of the X-T1/X-Pro comes out.
  13. Mine is a very sharp lens.
  14. The Ala Moana hotel in Honolulu. (Not an IR image, just used LR to darken sky).
  15. What filter/technique are you using for your IR images?
