  1. Finally got around to getting my Nissin I40 flash firmware update.

    It's being handled by a company called ExpoImaging now and the only cost to me was shipping it to them.

    They pay for return shipping and had it back to me in 1 week.

    See below and contact Lizzy for more info:

     
    Click on ‘Firmware Update’  and you can see an image of the flash showing the blinking indicator lights.  If you click on ’Update History’, then you can see a list of the firmware updates and what they were for to determine if you actually NEED the firmware update.
     
    The current firmware version for the Nissin i40-FJ is 18-9.
     
    Our two locations are in California and Minnesota:
     
    ExpoImaging, Inc.
    121 Aviation Way
    Watsonville, CA  95076
    (831) 761-2040
     
    Or
     
    Bruce Michelsen
    ExpoImaging
    13310 Greenwich CT.
    Apple Valley, MN 55124
    952-255-8310

     

    Please note that when shipping to the MN location, the zip code sometimes comes up as St. Paul.  If so this is fine because Bruce is in a suburb of St. Paul.
     
    Please ship to the location closest to you.

     

    Once your flash is received, it will be updated promptly and returned to you ASAP.
     
    Please be sure to include the attached Repair and Service Order Form with your flash.  Please do not ship your flash with any batteries in it.
     
    Let me know if you have any questions.
     
    Best Regards,

    Fuji needs to correct the long-standing firmware blunder in the X-T1, X-T2, and X-T3. Namely, the cameras reset the self-timer EACH time the cameras go to sleep or are turned off. This is a major pain for tripod shooters.  Fuji could easily correct this firmware blunder by providing a menu option for the self-timer to RESET or NO RESET (e.g., like Sony).  Come on, Fuji, let's fix this blunder.

    This is an annoyance for me too. The only way around this is to keep the camera from sleeping which just wastes battery power unnecessarily.

  3. If you're going to sell your Leica gear, get both XT-3 and X100F. I have an X-T2 and an X100F (same sensor and battery).

    The EVF on the XT is so good (it's huge compared to the VF on a Pro or X100), I'd bet you'll stick with using it most of the time.

    I tried the original X-Pro1 when it came out, but thought it tried to mimic Leica a little too much and decided to use the real thing instead.

    Good luck and bon voyage!

     

  4. I use both Fuji and Leica and feel they compliment each other well.

    I'd recommend getting an X100F to see how you like the system and IQ as the 16-55mm lens is huge and the X100F is the perfect everyday camera in my view.

    I don't notice any meaningful difference switching back and forth from FF to APSC. Both sensors and systems are capable of producing amazing photos.

    I've kept an M-D 262 and several Leica film bodies and lenses. I thought about selling the M-D but I think I'd miss it too much.

    Buy a used one in good condition and test it out. If it doesn't work out, you can resell it with no financial loss.

  5. I use the case for a UV filter from Ritz. 2 Fuji batteries fit perfectly side by side.

    Companies like Think Tank and Neewer make battery holders too.

    Even if you don't, as long as you don't keep any conductive material near the terminals, having it in a bag or pocket should be fine.

    What about the adapter ring I use to attach my JJC lens hood? Does this affect lens movement too? Presumably the official Fuji lens hood also requires an adapter ring. If so Fuji are (knowingly?) contributing to the problem.

    i used to have a u/v filter + hood adapter ring’sttached. I had further Focus Error! problems so I’ve removed the filter. Let’s see what happens now.

    As mentioned before, it’s a pity Fuji haven’t put out an advisory note on this. I did ask for clarification on several Fuji Twitter sites. Still waiting.

    I have an adapter, UV filter, and hood combo on my X100F and have never had the error come up. I've used the trio on my X100S and X100T also with no problems. The key is to use filters that are thin enough not to block the path of the lens movement. FYI, I've always used B+W filters on my X100's.

    Hello everybody!
    There is a problem with the SMC Takumar 50/1.4 lens.
    I have a Fuji X-T10.
    I bought lens on ebay from Japan - SMC Takumar
    Also bought an adapter - Adapter
    
    
     

    How did you get the lens (pk) to fit on the adapter (m42) since they have different mounts?

    Assuming the lens you posted is what you have, you'd need a Pentax K to Fuji X mount adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Lens-Mount-Adapter-Mirrorless/dp/B008BBI994

    I've used numerous Pentax and Takumar (m42) lenses adapted to my Fuji cameras without any issues.

  8. There won't be anything too obvious unless you pixel peep. You will get more bokeh since the 23/2 is slightly faster and it will be a little sharper than the zoom. The biggest difference you notice will be the size and how it handles because it's smaller and lighter.

  9. I have to respectfully disagree with the previous commenter. The OVF does not show anything through the lens. It functions as one on a rangefinder like Leica and is simply an optical window with frame lines and much better parallax correction. EVFs have gotten so good these days that I don’t use it much anymore.
