Trap Pond State Park, DE.......cypress trees on a calm day.  16-80mm.

GRACKLE!  70-300 at 300mm, xt5.

Practicing handheld shots, panning with slower shutter speeds to show motion and still freeze the subject details...........I got these down to 1/20 and 1/15 sec, 150-600 at 150mm, xt5.  Fun to try.

these were better

couple more

Heavily cropped ospreys..........good shots, just too far away. 150-600mm.

ok, one more, not sure if this was stretching or some sort of ritual.........

couple more

a few from Cape Henlopen and DE, 150-600mm horrible light.

Ocean City MD near Northside Park. 70-300.

I guess they're not insects........Indian River, DE on the beach, 70-300 I think.
 

A couple from Cape Henlopen, dreary day, dreary photos.

Not a winter landscape, but still cold.

 

No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem

All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them. 
No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster!
Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica). 

The short answer is no but if X Raw Studio noise reduction doesn’t give you the results you like why not process them with another raw processor? You could then apply noise reduction together with whatever other processing you want to do.

I was told the GFX 100 II couldn't do this so I decided to test it:
 
 

I had no problem finding a spot at the beach this afternoon.  Was not crowded at all.

Hi Jerry,
Two minutes after making that post, I discovered I had to set the dial to “C” to solve the problem.
Thank you so much for your answer.
Happy New Year!
