X-Pro1 and XF35

As mdm said,
 
A minus value in highlight tone darkens the highlights (and the opposite for a positive value - ie lightens the highlights)
 
A minus value in shadow tone lightens the shadows (and the opposite for a positive value - ie darkens the shadows)
 
If you set the camera to shoot RAW, then you can use the in camera raw convertor to experiment with these settings, and create a series a jpegs with different settings applied and chose the one you like the most

Good ol' Porto light

The third and final part of my XF56 and XF50 review.
 
OK, so one of these lenses does something with DOF that the other can't, but what's the rest of the story?

I’m happy with this one
 
Manual focus at 1.4, shot from the hip and zero crop or orientation change in post!
 
A bit of a fluke perhaps but it was what I was aiming for!

Don't know why either. Works now.

Circumstances have given me a lot more X-Pro1 than X-Pro2 time lately.
 
But away from the spec sheets and out in the real world, just what are the key differences?

Postcards from the fog.
 
I hope you enjoy the more positive tone this week!

Sometimes it's difficult to find the right words, but you made this tribute with the perfect words. I feel sorry for your loss and wishing you the strength you and yours need . . .

Thank you, I appreciate it

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your kind words as it’s not my usual thing to write (thank goodness) and not what my readers expect from me
 
Normal service will return!

Thanks for sharing, Adam. What a great tribute to someone who was clearly a wonderful man. Inspirational to read it - but so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.

If you're a follower of my website, you may want to know why I've been quiet lately.... be warned very little in here about cameras/photography this week though!

Because things can work out differently if you look at them in a different way

Not sure if this is a cityscape or not!

Thanks very helpful and well done.

I back to back reviewed both 23s and wrote a three part article about them,
 
You can see the concluding part here

Which also has links to parts one and two

You should. Both lenses are pretty cheap used as many people sell them when they can't find a way to use them.
