I tried Darktable around Christmas time and have now got quite far with it. It is more powerful than C1 and LR, the demosaicing is very good and it has all the tools I need. I haven’t opened anything else for a couple of weeks. The learning curve is quite steep though... and it is free. Save your money for lenses!

I tried on1 photo raw but the film simulations are dreadful. It is a deal breaker for me.

I use C1 in conjunction with photo mechanics. The DAM on C1 is not as good as LR.

Yes , thanks for the honest replies. I find the idea attractive though in the short run. I think you are right though. It also takes away the pleasure of landscape photography in the long run too.

SKY REPLACEMENT

Hello,
I took what I thought was a good photo of a lighthouse in the waves... and then I tried a sky replacement which I am against on principle. The problem is that the photo with the new sky looks way better ! Help !!ORIGINAL PHOTO

If the yellow lock button is displayed in the viewfinder, Press and hold MENU/OK down to unlock the button until the lock goes away. The Q button will then work again.
I had the same problem. I did a long press on the "Menu/ok" button and the yellow lock disappeared. The Q button is working again. Thanks !

I hope it has a tripod mount, my 55-200 is difficult to use for long exposures.

I’m looking for a nice (lightweight) half case too so any suggestions ?

I wrote a short post on this topic. What do you think?

I have used Darktable quite a lot with my Sony a7r3. There is a learning curve after years of Lightroom though. The final look is softer and more film like in my view to the ‘commercial’ raw developers but maybe that is just how I learned to use it. It is a very powerful tool with many ways to do selective editing. You can even get it to send a tif to affinity or another external editor if you download the lua scripts. I stopped using it because it won’t recognise my x-pro3... and I just got capture one at 55% off.
If or when I get back to using it again, I would miss the film simulations of C1 even if most of the time I edit the jpg from the camera.If there are any questions about Darktable, I’ll try to answer them.
Cheers,

I have a problem doing long exposures with the "time" speed shutter setting. Up to 60" there is no problem but I cannot set a shutter speed to anything else than 2",4",8" and 15".
I would like to go up in 30 second increments to just to my ND filter. Is there a way to do it without using Bulb mode?
Thanks,Nicolas

Hello,
I am thinking of acquiring a Fuji x100v as a second body to my x-pro3. I have set up the x-pro3 to my taste, including the 7 custom film settings.
i can save them to my Mac through x-acquire but will I be able to transfer this file to the x100 to have the same settings?
Thanks,
Nicolas

Hello,
I am back to fuji ! I had an x-t2 and sold it for a Sony a7r3 which is a great camera but I missed all the fun of the fuji... so I got an x-pro 3
I have set my custom settings for my favorite film simulations, from c1 to c7. I still have a lot to learn, it has moved forwards so much in a couple of years.
I would like to shoot raw and then use the internal raw converter to make my jpg file using the custom settings I have saved. How do I do that? Is it even possible. It would be such a time saver.
Thanks for your help,
Nicolas

Taken an xt-1 to India. 40 C and no problem!

If you are in a situation where this may be an issue simply turn off the eye sensor - voila, no lag. (Press view mode button on back of camera).
That would be a solution thanks although I would prefer a no lag situation!!

Hello,
I used a x100T for a couple of weeks and was surprised that there was a visible lag when I put my eye to the viewfinder. It takes about 1 second for the evf to appear with an audible click. This made me miss some shots. I don't get this in my current x-t1.
I miss the x100T for many other reasons but I am hesitant to buy one for this reason mainly ( but also for lack of tilting screen).
Does this lag bother you too?
Thanks for your thoughts!

A few months ago, I imagined a workflow in which I would use lightroom mobile to curate the photos I import. As I always have a backlog of around 1000 photos, sitting down in an armchair to sort them out sounded like a good idea. I take quite a lot of photos, but only keep a very small amount. Typically, at any time, I process photos I took a couple of months back.
The method I use is simple. Every new photo is colour tagged with purple (the one without a keyboard shortcut), and I have them in a smart collection. The smart collection is mirrored to a normal collection with a plugin and this is synced to iCloud. Any photo that is purple and flagged as a pick goes into a smart collection of pictures that I need to process. Anything rejected is deleted.
In theory all I need to do on the ipad with LR mobile is flag my photos with pick or reject.
In practice, it takes each photo between 2 and 10 seconds to become sharp on the app... Far to slow for an efficient workflow, I have an ipad 2 and my internet speed is around 7 megabits.
How fast is LR mobile for you?

What is the focusing like now on the x-t1? I had this lens on the x-e1 and sold it because of the autofocus (and the 1:2 ratio)

I have the 56mm which I love, but I'd like to see a side by side between the 90 and the 40-150 to compare the bokeh. I'm tempted by a telephoto but I don't like zooms very much and worried that the background is not too creamy at f/2.8
Any thoughts?

No replies to this thread but just to keep you updated. I sent my camera back to fuji to check for damage.
