@Mervyn: that's very interesting, i'll check that. @drandyperry: the lens is already optically worse than the fuji and has has only manual focus. That sould be enough to make the prize difference. I expect a lens that is sold as 0,95 to perform at least close to that.

yes, mkII

Hi all, i recently bought the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 and was very excited about it. But unfortunately in comparison with the fuji 35mm 1.4 i found that the Mitakon doesn't gather more light than the Fuji. With the same settings (manual) both lenses wide open had about the same exposure. Both set at 1.4 the Mitakon was exposed about one stop darker. I also found that sharpness, microcontrast and colors were better with the Fuji Lens. So the only advantage for the Mitakon was the slightly better DoF. Anyone alse has the Mitakon and can verify my experience?

Thank you all for your responses. I will try to use CO excusively and see if i can get a comparable workflow as in lightroom. Already made some good steps in customizing some shortcuts. otherwise i will consider tiff output. thanks, Tom

Cause i want to do the RAW Conversion in CO as it does it better. But use Lightroom for the workflow.

Nobody did this ever?

Hi all, i would like to use Capture One for converting my X-Raw Files but keep Lightroom as i prfer th eworkflow. So i would like to use Capture One to convert th eRAF files to DNG. But when i try to export my RAF files as DNG i get an Error Message. I can export them as JPg and also convert my Canon Raw files to DNG. Anyone knows this Problem? thanks, Tom

anybody else noticed that AF is really snappy when focusing on vertical lines but hunts much more when focusing on horizontal lines?

Most important for me would be to further improve AF, its really snappy when focusing on vertical lines but hunting much more when focusing on horizontal lines. Would be great if it worked as fast as the vertical ones. Second one would be to have a silent mode shortcut. For now you have to turn off several option to get silent.

yes, pete i just saw the post. It solved the problem. Though i will report this to fuji as i think of this as a bug. They should fix it so you can see an accurate preview when you shoot in adobe rgb. It was fine on the X-T1 Thanks a lot Aherranz, you're my hero! I tried all settings but didn't think that this would have an influence.

jwctp, i am not sure if you're talking of the same problem. i mean that the image changes when you actually take the picture. i also updated to the new firmware and it didn't solve the problem. So i will send in my X-T2 now

i was at a fuji event today and as they lack of X-T2 the guy only had a pre-production model. And guess what, the problem was not there on the pre production model. I will wait for the upcoming update and if it will not fix the problem i will send in my x-t2

and Pete, i agree with all what you say, and at least one does agree that there is a difference as all of the others seem to deny that. But the goal should be that the preview matches the final image as good as possible. And as they achieved that pretty well on the X-T1 i see no reason why they shouldn't on the X-T2. And as the final image (both in raw and jpg and every picture mode) is always slightly less contrasty and less saturated as the preview, it would be an easy task to make the preview also less saturated and contrasty so they match better.

so Pete, how do you explain that on the X-T1 the preview matches pretty much exact the final image and on the X-T2 it doesn't? If Fuji managed to do it on the X-T1, why won't it be possible on the X-T2?

@Neder, it has nothing to do with the brightness of the EVF. If the EVF is bright, its bright for the preview AND the final image. The problem is not there on X-T1, where the preview matches the final image exactly, but on the X-T2 it's not.

@Alan, i have checked all settings i think and everything is set fine. Also the guy in my local store didn't believe me until i showed it with his out of the box X-T2. As its a subtle difference and only with very dark objects most people don't see it. @Username, no, i got everything right in preview exposure and it happen in available light. Of course in Studio it can't be exact. @voodooless, good tip, but shutter AE is on, i tried both settings i can't believe nobody else can see the difference.

@jack, it happens in every mode, i checked all of them. It has nothing to do with the metering, its just that the preview doesn't match. i also don't think that my camera is broken or that i don't know how to use it. I just think its a bug that Fuji hasn't discovered yet, so wanted anybody to confirm this.

@voodooless: DR ist set to 100 @BobJ, you maybe got it wrong, its not about the difference of picture effect on or off (which behaves the same as you describe) but the difference between the picture you see in the preview an the actual pic you take. Anyone tried it out?? You have to take a quite dark scene and set the preview mode to continuous. you will see that the preview doesn't match the actual pic you get, cheers, Tom

@exkeks. Screen brightness is on zero @ALan. Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. When i turn preview pic effect off, then its the opposite effect, the image gets more contrasty and more saturated than the preview and its even more obvious. Try it out yourself but take a picture of something black or very dark. Otherwise you don't see it.

Hi all, i have an issue with my X-T2. The preview image on monitor or EVF is not accurate. It is most obvious when you take darker images. After i press the shutter and take the image, the image changes to a slightly less contrasty and saturated image. So the preview doesn't seem to be accurate. As i often take dark images in studio this is a big issue for me. I also tested another X-T2 in a store and had the same issue, tested an X-T1 and the preview was much more accurate. I made a video to show this: anyone can confirm this? cheers, Tom

in my opinion the 1.4 is pretty amazing on the X-T2, focusing is very fast most of the time, just sometimes a bit of hunting in difficult areas.

i have the same experience and it has nothing to do with auto brightness. I tried all kind of Settings (and i'm no amateur) and the preview you see on evf or on the screen changes when you actually take the pic. Try it yourself, you can see it best when you take a dark picture. The final image is brighter and less saturated than the preview. I tested the same with the x-t1 and its much less obvious. So i think its a bug of the x-t2 and i hope fuji will address it with a firmware update

preview picture effect in also "on"

Hi all, i have a problem with my preview. it seems that the preview is more saturated and more contrasty than the final image. When i look at the monitor (or EVF) the image it looks quite saturated and contrasty and when i take the image, the image changes to a less saturated and less contrasty version. Anyone else noticed this? (i have WB preview on btw.) and screen settings all on "0" thanks, Tom

i really love what Fuji have done here but for me the only real gain is a gain in Resolution. So if you don't need the 50mp resolution theres no real reason to buy one. If you compare it with the X-T2 you win about 2 stops with the bigger sensor (for noise and dof) But when you compare the lenses (110mm f2 against 56mm 1.2) you win one and a half stops with the X-T2 so theres only about half a stop advantage. But, yes, if you need 50mp .... Ok, maybe you get better dynamic range also, we don't know yet
