  1. My x-pro1 and x-pro 2 OVF frame lines are offset to the bottom in landscape mode, meaning that there is extra coverage on the bottom of the frame. The top cuts off slightly on the pro1, but not the pro2. Leica's with mechanical ovf only cover 90% of the image in the framelines because the frame size cannot change while focusing, so the frameline covers about 92% close in, and about 86 % at infinity. Leica for film also assumed that people were shooting slides and compensated for the mount covering part of the frame. Digital Fuji's with electronic / variable framelines should do better. In any case nothing inside the frame lines should ever be cut off. I learned to compensate with the Pro-1 and was hoping for better with the pro2. ... H
  2. Nikon's OIS sensors operate at 1 khz so at any SS above 1/500 sec., in theory it would not help. In practice, if your vibration pattern is steady, IS might help at higher speeds, but it is a crapshoot. I always turn it off t anything faster than 1/500. Since it is unlikely that either Nikon or Fuji manufacture piezo sensors, they are likely very similar.
  3. I like it. Real estate is always a problem on camera bodies and I dislike modal controls. Besides which, when I have a lens with aperture markings, I can look down at the top, and see my ISO, Aperture, and shutter speed simply by dial position. ... H
  4. Dan: Thank you again for responding. You are correct, the framelines do not correspond to the captured image. I use only fuji X lenses on these cameras and usually autofocus. I expect OVF's of this type to cover slightly less than the captured image so nothing expected is cut out, but not to have anything inside the framelines not be in the image. Leica's only cover 90% of the image in the framelines because the frame size cannot change while focusing, so the frameline covers about 92% close in, and about 86 % at infinity. Leica for film also assumed that people were shooting slides and compensated for the mount covering part of the frame. Digital Fuji's with electronic / variable framelines should do better. I learned to compensate with the Pro-1 and was hoping for better with the pro2. If mine is like everyone else's, then I will compensate, if not, I will hammer Fuji to fix it. We are probably close in experience. I got my first Leica M2 (and Nikon F) in 1966. Regards ... Harold
  5. Thank you for the reply. That is not what I am seeing. I know the behavior of a parallax compensate OVF. After all of the OVF frameline moves following focus, I get extra coverage on the bottom and cut off on the top at all distances. Both my X-pro1, and X-pro2 are doing this. My 5 Leica's do not.
  6. My x-pro1 and x-pro 2 OVF frame lines are offset to the bottom in landscape mode, meaning that there is extra coverage on the bottom of the frame, and the top cuts off slightly. Is this normal, and can it be adjusted. I am a 45 year Leica user and understand OVF framelines. Leica being mechanical sets it's frame box for close in, and leaves extra coverage evenly around the frame, never cuts off.
  7. Nikon has not addressed this in 9 twin card cameras over 8 years, I would not hold my breath. Since I shoot raw / raw, I use slot 1 as my reference and for uploading and only use the second card as a contingency backup (which I have only needed once) .
  8. The limiting factor is more likely the camera's port write speed, or some odd handshaking issue to the uhs II interface which does not sound fully baked yet to me. I am measuring 90 mbs write speed on several uhs I sdxc cards and will stick to those until I see some tests. Since I shoot both cards in backup mode anyhow, having one slot faster than the other does me no good.
  9. My normal traveling kit is 10-24, 18-55, 55-200. At home I am mostly using 14/2.8, 35/1.4, 56/1.2 and 90/2. I hate changing lenses in the field, and usually travel with 2 bodies. (X-T10, and X-E1 (or X-Pro1). Wiildlife and long lenses are still Nikon territory for me, and Architecturals with a Sony A7II and Leica 16-18-21 tri-elmar.
  10. Thank You, you are correct. Hopefully Fuji will provide this feature with firmware updates for their more recent camera's as well.
  11. I think danwells has stated this very well. One minor point, lossless compression is exactly identical to uncompressed. As pixel counts go up, Fuji should support a lossless compression option. ... H
  12. When x-trans was introduced, most beyer sensors had low pass filters, now many do not.
