The sole thing preventing me from buying a X camera (X-pro2) is that both in my test shots with a borrowed camera as in the many portraits I see on this forum and elsewhere is that the skin tones look often too red and even magenta. Just have a look at Phil's shots at http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/132-headshots/page-2. Ironically I bumped into Fuji because I was looking for a better skin tone camera than my Nikon; many people say the love the Fuji skin tone. 1 Below you see a Raw file, processed in Lightroom with Provia profile, white balance picked from the white poster left on the pavement. The auto WB was way too red. 2 Same with Red Primary Red hue put to +9. Skin looks somewhat better, but I am loosing the red of the lips and the little car on the right. 3 Just to try: with the second settings I tried Velvia (with the settings of second picture), because sometimes I have people in my landscape pictures. Nikon provides a still usable skin tone with the landscape emulation. This is a bit of a shocking result... Looking forward to hear from you!
