  1. beautifully done. What dedication that took them to complete.
  2. I have the Brixton and store the XPro1 with 35 ƒ1.4, the 60mm, The X70, and the XT1 with the 14 all in line. The 16 and 56 are bigger, but I still think there'd be enough room for the 100 in between the two. The Prince is only a little smaller then the Brixton. I've carried mine for many long hours, and with my 13" Pro inside, along with all the other stuff, I do get a little tired after a while. Still. It's the price you pay for wanting to carry more gear. More gear is more weight and more weight is more strain.
  3. Considering that companies like Nikon are still producing film cameras, I don't see why they couldn't. With the re-emergergence of film's popularity, it might even be prudent for them to do so. All that being said, Fuji has made it quite clear they don't want to be involved in film anymore. You never know though. We still work diligently to get them to not discontinue their pack film, or at least sell they machinery to Impossible, which last I heard they refused to do so. Film is still a very large part of my photography. I hand roll and develop my own, so cost is minimal, chemicals, substrate and time is all it costs me...
  4. The only negative of the Pro 1is the processing power it has. Even on the fastest cards it takes a few seconds to write, but you don't even notice unless you're a chimper, or a spray and pray shooter that fills up the cache at every turn. I shoot the Pro 1 way more than the T1 anymore.
  5. 35mm and 50mm are classic focal lengths. That's why you see the 23 and the 35 among the top 3 in that poll. The 50 (35) is also very close to what you see with your eye, so it's very easy and intuitive to use, and you get proficient with it very quickly.
  6. I'd think if you bought an X-Pro2, it wouldn't be for the 8mp's. It'd be for the processing power, the speed, the dual card slots, The better EVF, the better layout, the updated profiles and the new AF Modes (all of which you don't have on the Pro1). At least those are all the reasons I'd buy one.
  7. I have the Tan Canvas Bowery. After using it for over a year, it's just now getting broken in. I'm guessing the leather is an awesome bag, but I love the canvas. I loved this one so much, I bought a Brixton (also in the tan) for daily use, riding the motorcycle and carrying my laptop to and from work along with my camera gear. Currently, I'm carrying the Pro-1 with 35 ƒ1.4 (hood attached) along with my X70. Before I got the X70, I carried the Pro-1 with 35 (w/o hood), XT-1 with 14, and the 60 all in the Bowery with some cleaning bits, two extra batteries in a pocket, another battery in a reloader on the strap, and a couple of extra cards and some Sunscreen in the end pockets. It's much bigger then it looks when you start placing your gear. The tan on both bags is slightly different. The leather on the Brixton is darker and more supple, but I don't know if that's because it's more expensive, or if that's just how leather is. I'd definitely recommend the Canvas. I know there are some here that have the leather Prince and other Leather Ona Bags. They can attest to the craftsmanship of the leatherwork for you, but you can't go wrong with an Ona period. I've also looked at the black and the Grey in person. I really like the black, but the grey didn't appeal to me at all. The black, although it looks charcoal on the web is actually a truer black, with a nice leather on it. It's a great bag, but I really liked the natural look of the Tan. I knew it would darken as it aged, where the black would most likely fade, and in the end that's what pushed my decision toward the Tan.
  8. I don't use them in camera, but I set the profile in LR. Usually Mono+R, and Velvia, Classic Chrome with the T1 files.
  9. As a climber, I'd never even thought about a chalk bag as a lens bag, probably because mine are always filled with chalk, but that is an incredibly good idea.
  10. May have fewer elements, but the glass is the same. Manufactured to the same standards as the XF Lenses. Thats coming from an interview I watched a while back online. I can try to find it, but you could do that just the same. Very interesting interview to watch.
  11. From what I've heard about the XC lenses, is that it's the exact same glass, exact same motors and technology in their XF lenses (18-55 and 55-200); they just change the shell and the focal length changes a little.
  12. Never had any problems with Lexar, but I don't use anything over 64, mostly stick to 32. I'm using the 1000x cards as well. Am I understanding correctly that you are reformatting in camera? It does say it'll use them....http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/compatibility/card/x/
  13. When I process my raw files, I import them, change the profile, adjust the contrast a tad (and maybe if my exposure was a little off) adjust my exposure a touch. Each file takes only seconds. Why are you using Bridge to adjust your Raw files anyway? If you have Bridge don't you at least have ACR? I've only used ACR and Lightroom for handling Raw files. In your original post, you said you wanted to use Provia/Velvia, You have to change the profile to Provia in order to see its effect on your Raw file. I usually use Velvia or Monochrome +R, or Classic Chrome. It's all in the profile on the bottom right in the develop module.
  14. However, today I saw this... https://www.massdrop.com/buy/lenspen-sensorklear-loupe-kit (link to Massdrop sale). Wondering if anyone has any experience with this company, model, method; or if you have suggestions for what you have used successfully. What's your method, or who just waits for their local Camera Expos when companies clean them for free?
  15. Don't know how much clearer it could be. The caption is got myself an X-T1 and the subject of the post is about buying the X-T1. Lighten up. Welcome aboard Metalkoi. Enjoy your new toy.
  16. I usually buy a filter for the largest lens I own, or intend to own, then buy Step Up Rings to allow it to fit all my other lenses. Most of mine are either 58 or 62. I don't use lens hoods, except on my 55-200 when I'm shooting events outdoors.
  17. Dallas area here. I just sold my 18-55 to a guy in a Facebook group who was local, that just moved over to the system. Great lens, just never used it, and after 8 months on the shelf, figured I could help someone else realize the joy of shooting Fuji. I love the 55-200 for shooting events and sports with the T1. Great lens. Welcome to the X Series. They brought the joy I get with film back to digital for me.
  18. Ona Bowery. It's my street bag. It'll hold more then you are asking it to, but it's small and doesn't look like a camera bag. My love of the Bowery is what lead me to buy the Brixton which is what I carry everyday. Can't recommend Ona enough. They are awesome.
  19. Kind of makes my heart race, but if you're happy with it then have at it. I prefer my camera to get scratched the old fashioned way, so I try not to baby them in the field, but no matter how hard I try, they still look fantastic. I still don't have the guts to take some sand paper or something to them though. Still, they do look cool when they "appear" well used. Clearly, it's a thing. The Lenny Kravitz Edition...
  20. You can configure all screens to show you only what you want to see. So literally you could have every conceivable piece of information for you. Your OVF could be configured only to show you the information you want to get the shot, the LCD could be configured to show you an information screen and the EVF could be configured completely separately. One of the beauties of the OVF actually as it gives you three screens that are customizable. Shooting Menu 4, Display Custom Setting.
  21. You guys that like the Event Messenger (I have the one that fits the 13" Laptop), take a look at the Urban Reporter. That has become my favorite bag when I have the long lens on my T1 like at festivals and events. Such a great bag. I'm able to carry my long lens attached to my T1, with the 35 on my Pro1 and the 14 also in the bag.
  22. I use a Gordy's on my Leica. It's a great strap for small cameras, and I'm gonna get another for my X70 (when I get it), and my Ricoh 500ME soon. I like the versatility of the anchor. I have the anchors on my Pro1 and T1 and use both he cuff and the leash depending on what I'm shooting. I've also added anchors to a lot of my SLR film cameras as well. That's Peak Design's whole concept and it works for some, but not for others. Only way to know is to try. I certainly don't think I'd like to have my hand attached to the grip though, so never had a desire to try the clutch.
  23. Another side of the coin... http://petapixel.com/2016/05/06/botched-steve-mccurry-print-leads-photoshop-scandal/
