This is an excellent counterpoint. Thank you. I was considering the Profoto B1 for my location shoot. I hadn't delved into HSS as I didn't need it before. I have been relying on ND filters which has it's own issues too. Color casts, hue...etc. So, your info is good for me to know.

If there was a firmware tweak which may significantly improve parts of its performance, I'd say it would be good if they did.

Kevin Mullins probably doesn't have the time to "weather" his cameras to get that antique look leave alone pamper his camera. I have tried fire retardant 3M electrical tape during my days in IASCA tournaments. They work great and doesn't leave gunk like you said.

Judging from the xpro1, the firmware updates which are trickling still, happens when they need the Pro1 to recognize new lenses. Other times, the firmware would address certain anomaly in some lenses, i.e. focus issues, algorithm, etc. In terms of newer or better performance on the Pro1 body itself, there hasn't been one for a long time. So, I guess your T1 is safe in this respect.

That's good knowledge. Come to think of it, it makes sense for duct tape to be gooey. For it's intended purposes, which is to tape pipes and ducting, a bit of goo makes for a better airtight/water tight seal. I purchased 3M Duct tape thinking it would peel clean but alas......

Ok. It must have been duct tape then. On more than a few occasions, I've had to remove duct tape stuck on by owners needing repairs to their lenses. What a mess......what started off as trying to protect it caused more damage.

Ah...I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I agree with you on the thieving part. Most are crimes of opportunity.......unless you are brandishing and flaunting it. Gaffa tape leaves gunk. You can clean it with some lighter fluid but if it has hardened, it leaves a permanent color difference.

Nothing the new Kaby Lake partnered with a 1Tb Samsung 860 Pro can't handle. Heck, Sandisk is even releasing a 1Tb sd card.

This, you know it's heavily used and not because of unnecessary abuse........ I wonder why they always have to use gaffer tape on the brand. Testing out prototypes?

Sorry....but I felt a bit sick after a saw this pic. I think even with deliberate weathering, there may be an art to it. Deliberation is key here.

Even though I wouldn't recommend washing leather but since you may not be able to use it anyway, I'd say wash it, dry it out in the sun and use it for something else. Hopefully something not valuable or sensitive to mold. Adding natural rice vinegar will help to a great extent, especially with the smell and is safe on most fabric and leather. On leather and natural fiber fabric, once infected and colonized, mold is impossible to get rid of. The moment the environment is suitable, it will grow again.

In this, I honestly believe that there are no more new stories which would turn into a classic in future. The works of Grimm brothers, Hans Christian Anderson and Stan Lee are limited......and therefore needs to be remade.

The GFX has 2 modes. All external dials and all menu based like a conventional digital slr. In the 2nd mode, the top display is to facilitate quick access to settings. The lens has a C setting which enables you to control the aperture using the assigned dial on the camera body. Clever.

Thank you. Very clear and detailed explanation. I get the picture now. I guess, this issue exists with other formats too. Perhaps it is more significant as previously most medium format cameras rely on leaf shutters. Would HSS be a possible solution to this issue? Granted HSS itself has issues.

It shows other data and settings at the same time.

Congratulations. Looked like it was a nice day.

I'm seeing the same thing. Here's a question. Which on has better bokeh, a 16mp aps-c sensor or a 24mp aps-c sensor?

24mp is my current favorite now.........hang on, I don't have anything higher! Although I shoot 20 and 24mp nowadays, I'm still amazed by what my 12.8mp can do sometimes. So, I think the 51.4mp is great.....provided the photograph is outstanding.

Sweet. Did you like it? Looks ergonomically designed. Even the battery grip has a recess for the vertical trigger button. And that thumb grip is odd but I suspect a nice touch. That battery though.....

My hunch is that you'd get exactly the same DR as the X-T2 / Pro2 but on a much higher resolution of 51.4 mpix. While that doesn't sound like much, under studio and good lighting shoot, it gives good results for some commercial use. Also, being a medium format with a larger sensor, I'm thinking bokeh may be somewhat an advantage enhancing the "sharpness" or crispness of the resulting image. That in itself will be a huge advantage to portrait / wedding shooters. When you look at the initial lens line up, Fujifilm seems to be targeting portraiture photographers first. If it is priced well, it will be a hit with these photographers. I'm fairly confident this fella will sell.

What are you guys talking about? Of course we need 50mpix. The "cropability" is huge!

Hopefully sooner than later. I'd love to see a fellow X shooter with a G mount Fujifilm!

Ah.....sounds good!

Takes skill....to be able to say that.
