Velvia is too rich for me as well. For black and white, I often just use the JPEGs, since the X-Pro1 film simulations do a very good job. For colour, I generally use the RAWs, and either Provia or one of the standard Silkypix V7 film colours.

BW+Y or BW+R, depending on the circumstances. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Just tried it with my old X-Pro1, with artificial light. It's slow but precise. No reason why the X-Pro2 would be worse. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

In the X-E1 you can set the view mode to LCD, while keeping the shooting mode on EVF. Menu display is coupled with the view mode. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

That's true. Not sure if I want to pay the distortion price. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

True, but even then it's considerably smaller than the 1.4/23mm I think. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I'd rather buy a new X-T1 with warranty, given the teething problems the model went through (e.g. loose coverings and failing seals (the door notably). Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I guess that X-T1s will be sold out quickly after the X-T2 introduction; shops will be eager to get rid of remaining stock.

You can make crap pictures with any camera. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I think the whole "Kaizen marketing blabla" is a bit over hyped. If not by Fujifilm themselves, then certainly by blog owners and reviewers who keep on rambling about it. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Sorry? Are you sure you posted on the right forum? At the TS; have fun with the camera! I think you bought it at a good time with all those discounts. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

AFAIK X-E1 is different. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I think that is a correct assumption indeed. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The X-T2 also looks like it is bigger, which I see as a negative. Besides, I would not want to do without an optical viewfinder. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

It's a good match with the MCEX-16 macro ring indeed.

Well yes, I do indeed ... Pentax Takumar lenses no less (their 55/1.8 is brilliant). Another of my favourites is the CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5. I am contemplating a focal length reducer now, specifically for the Pentax Takumar 35mm and 55mm lenses. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Reconstruction in Utrecht city center

Doing most of that already (apart from the driving less due to my job). I am sure that cameras could be designed so that software could keep them current for let's say five years. It just requires a different mindset from manufacturers and consumers. At this moment they are in a rat race to deliver new models every two years, even if hardly anything changed internally. That's a waste in many ways. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
