    tedgoudie got a reaction from iSilentP in Edit / Save Q Menu differences between X100t and X-T1 [Cross-posted]   
    Actually, there is something about ISO/Q Menu on the x100T that I wish would make it to the X-T1: multiple Auto-ISO setting groups. That's one feature I really miss about that camera after moving to the X-T1.  I'm frequently changing the upper bound of Auto-ISO, since I shoot in aperture priority with with auto ISO most of the time, and the ability to hit the Q menu to quickly dial in one of the Auto groups made that much faster.

    Might be coming as Fuji gave the X-Pro2 three Auto-ISO settings. Not as crazy as the multiple combinations you can have with custom settings and Auto-ISO on the X100T, but that one really makes no sense anyway. 
     
    I'd love if they gave a chance for an "advanced Auto ISO" on the X-T1, where, if the dial is set to Auto, you could program an Fn button and a dial for quick adjustment.

    There is currently no wireless TTL option for the Fuji System. You can however use wireless manual systems - the Yongyou for example enables full manual control of up to six groups at a fraction of the price of comparable camera systems.

    tedgoudie reacted to Martin G in Effects on Jpeg Output Highlight and Shadow Settings   
    With time to spare today I wanted to see the real effects of adjusting these values in the menu to see the effect on the jpeg output. I think an image speaks a thousand words on this subject so please if you were interested/curious and don't have enough time to try yourself you can see the results here and download the jpegs as a reference:
     
    Although tested on my X Pro 1 (odd I never pick up the X-T1 for this stuff) it will apply to the current crop of Fuji cameras. At least until tomorrow!

    tedgoudie reacted to Marc G. in 35mm (Equivalent) focal length issues..   
    To give you a little reference as to how good the 23mm is:
     
    It is better than the 16mm (understandably so, as it is not as wide, so easier to correct optically), better than both 35's and as good as the 56 1.2.
     
    You clearly didn't use the 23mm yourself. Trusting internet information over user information (and you're getting plenty of that here) is just plain stupid.
     
    The constant ignoring of facts isn't helpful either. The XF 23 1.4 R doesn't leave a gap in the current lineup. Instead, it's one of the peaks. The 27 2.8, besides, isn't bad either. It's small, solidly built, sharp and focuses quite fast. It just doesn't offer f/1.4 or an aperture ring. Something I can forgive the lens which can be had for 191€ in Europe. Now, the 18mm is another story.
     
    Also, the 23 balances quite well. After all, it is smaller and lighter than the 56 1.2, which also balances well with a camera like the X-T1. And I don't hear much whining from users of X-Pro or X-E cameras when it comes to the 56 1.2.
     
    I had the X100 and X100s and still have the XF 23 1.4 R. While the XF is not my most favorite lens (just because 23mm isn't my most favorite focal length), it is M I L E S ahead of the 23mm f/2 of the X100 series, when it comes to sharpness wide open (& stopped down), optical correction for aberrations, close focus performance. The X100 series lens is clearly an optical compromise in many regards. Fuji didn't make that mistake twice and the XF 23 1.4 R is about as good as it gets in Fujis lens portfolio. The only lens to exceed everything else is the XF 90 f/2 R WR.

    I disagree with the premise that the XF23 is slow and produces only average results. Although the lens is large in comparison to some other Fuji lenses (though not when compared with most lenses of similar quality), I have found the autofocus to be nice and fast, and in my view the image quality from it is among the best of what the Fuji range can achieve. This view is also supported by the more technically oriented reviews. For example: http://admiringlight.com/blog/review-fujifilm-fujinon-xf-23mm-f1-4-r/3/
     
    If you take a look at the Flickr pages for this lens, they contain some of the most beautiful images you'll see taken on any Fuji system, and while the X100T has advantages in terms of size and convenience, in my view the quality of its lens doesn't come close to the sheer beauty the XF23 has to offer. While the 27mm pancake lens is, well, a pancake, its performance is not poor *for a pancake lens*. The lens on the X100T is also a pancake lens, and so its performance is really very comparable with the 27mm, as has been demonstrated quite clearly by those who get excited about the numbers.
