This is exactly why I did choose the 27mm. The 35mm ist excellent, as is the Touit 32mm, but I don't know when to use it (except for the rare in studio situations).

The pics are SOOC. All shot at f8 and ISO3200 on a tripod. It was a quick test in remaining daylight. I did move the cactus and changed the angle of the camera to position the cactus in the picture. No post processing. AF was on the "white dot." In the EXIF you will see that the timing went down from 1/50s to 1/25s with MCEX and TC. I will probably do some more examples next weekend.

Yep. Chances are that you returned two perfectly fine lenses.

Hello,
 
my first Topic here, photo made with XT1 and XF56mm
 
Iso 400
f 1.2

One of the still missing secrets is the specification of the viewfinder. 
 
-What will be the magnification for the EVF? (Hope it will be close to the x0.77 of the T1)
-Will the OVF cover a wider area (16mm) and offer three steps of automatic magnification, e.g. an extra tele magnification for the 56mm/90mm?
 
It seems strange that so many specs have been leaked, but the viewfinder characteristics remain secret. Is this good or bad news?

I'll keep it - it is already converted to infrared (see e.g. here)

Palm trees are ideal for IR - these shots were taken with the Fuji 90mm

Hi,
 
I get bored easily during daytime on vacation, as the light for taking pictures isn`t really good.
 
This is different if you have an IR-converted camera in your bag, which is ideal to use in bright light. I use a converted X-Pro1 (620nm) which allows bw- as well as false color pictures. I have adjusted in-camera settings to produce bw-JPGs: B(y), H Ton +2, S Tone +2, Sharp -1 with no or only litte tweaking in Lightroom afterwards. For false color I use RAW-files which I adjust in Lightroom. You need a red/blue swap plugin, though.
 
Here are some pictures taken with different lenses in beautiful Cadiz and Sevilla. If you want to see more IR-pictures you can find them in my Flickr account here or here.
 
The following 3 shots were taken with the excellent Zeiss Touit 12mm:

Yes, the sound is there - you can listen to it on this website (scroll down to OIS).
 
I just did a small test with the 55-200mm and 50-140mm at 140mm and f5,6/6,4. The 50-140mm has more contrast and saturation OOC, but sharpness is pretty much the same. After adjusting the 55-200mm picture in LR, I don`t see a difference between the pictures anymore.

I guess the bokeh depends largely on the distance to the subject.
 
Here is an example of the 90mm @5,6 with beautiful bokeh:

Whereas in the following picture @f2 I would have liked to see more subject separation:

I guess the 50-140mm @140mm would have been better in this case.
