Lightroom colours tested vs in-camera
jlmphotos replied to aceflibble's topic in RAW conversion Fuji X-Trans Sensor
Thank you for the comparison. Good to know. I usually am in Astia, and I shoot both JPEG and Raw. I have my LR import preset set to Astia and quite honestly the jpeg + the raw look the same to me. Just an observation... Thanks again. -
LOL... Why must we drag Apple into this? BTW if you couldn't tell I'm an Apple fanatic.

I feel that Fuji is diluting the camera line, and it's efforts. I wish they focused on updating the aged X-Pro1, and I also wish they upgraded the X-T1 to 24 or 30 Megapixels. Yes, I know the argument about more megapixels isn't a good thing, but I shoot a lot of stock with the X-T1 and my D800. Quite frankly I would love to dump the D800 and the Nikon lenses. However, even though 39% of my sales are X files, as opposed to 20% D800 I still would like some more pixels to make the X-T1 files larger and more attractive to potential buyers -- plus, it'll save me some backaches down the road as I won't feel guilty about not taking the D800 out on shoots. But, that's just me talking... Best all. J

Ok. Now don't flame me or hate me. The initial impression I have after popping off maybe 30-40 shots, indoors is: IT SUCKS. I used the X-T1 with my 18-55. Very few images using zone focus came out, and less than 1/2 of the eye detection images were in focus. I need much, much more shooting, but for now, that is my opinion, and Im sticking to it. My next steps are to test the X-T1 with the 35mm F1.4 We'll see where this goes.

I would LOVE to know what Fuji did to get a print that big; what methodology they used...

I have printed most images at 13" x 19" with no up-rezzing. However, I have one image that I printed 24" x 18", also without having to up size or rez up. It looks amazing! It was taken with the Zeiss 12mm F2.8 Touit, Tripod, 2 second timer, F8.0

I think that feature was in FW 3.x -

My X-E1 NEVER, ever froze up on me. I used it from February 2013, to March 2014 (when my X-T1 arrived). And I put more than 50,000 images through the X-E1... -
X-T1 FW 4.0 BETA: I have it and share my findings soon ;)
jlmphotos replied to Patrick FR's topic in Fuji X-T1 / Fuji X-T10
I don't think it has anything to do with th FW, it may be the 56. I wound up returning mine as I couldn't stand the hunting back and forth. -
I think we are all hoping the new FW 4.0 will fix the hunting the 35 1.4 does. However, even if it does not, that would be the last lens I would ever part with. I love the look of the lens, the images, the clarity and sharpness! In certain situations, it's my go to lens besides the 18-55

Share your workflow!

Same Here. When I switched from there Fuji S1Pro in 2004 (I think) dSLR to the S2Pro I shot nothing but RAF files. Even back when I was a LR 1.0Beta tester moving from iPhoto, yes, iPhoto to LR with many others, LR did not have a problem opening my RAF files. None. -

I hope this is helpful to the group. I have my workflow shown on my blog if you care to visit. -
Is anyone out there hearing anything on upcoming sales/specials? I'm in the market for the 16mm f1.4. I don't need it until late August but I'd like to test it before hand. Many Thanks

I've been shooting with the X-E1, and the X-T1 for over 2 years now and in my case, as I also use Aperture mode exclusively, the shutter speed always shows up in the EVF and LCD... As i open or close the aperture, I can see the shutter speed change.

jlmphotos replied to Patrick FR's topic in Fuji X-T1 / Fuji X-T10
Oh boy. I hope this delay doesn't go past 6/29. I wanted to use the X-T1 to photograph my grandsons' birthday party instead of my D800 -
Pulling at my heart strings with that Triumph Image!! I at one time owned one -- an Inca Yellow, 1978, Commission number 76157. All original, and oh what fun except when the Lucas Electrics (The Prince of Darkness) as they were known, kicked in.

I had similar experience. I tried to shoot two christenings back to back in a beautifully lit church - big open air windows along both sides, skylights, etc. The 56 kept hunting, and at times refused to focus on the X-T1 (with latest updates at the time). I wound up swapping to the 18-55 or the 35 and had no further issues. On Monday I returned the lens.

I shot film. From 1973 through until I got my first digital camera in 2002. I don't miss it. Period. In the 80's I shot medium format weddings. I would rush home after the final moments of a reception, build my makeshift darkroom in my bathroom, ad process the wedding film -- all before daylight, or before one of my kids had to use the potty. I do not miss it. I believe digital is so much better. My last digital camera, a Mamiya 645AFD with a buch of film backs, and lenses, all in a huge metal Pelican case went on Fleabay a couple of years ago. Done.

Wow. Sounds Great! I can't wait to try it. -
@ Trenton. I have not noticed any artifacts with my Singh-Ray filters, but I have not used the duo, nor use SR ND filters. My SR filters are the Warming, Blue/yellow, and a regular polarizer. I'm very careless with ND filter for some reason so I tend to stick to Tiffen, or BW which, if damaged, aren't as expensive in the larger size.
