The skin of my x-pro1 is unstiking. Also it has zones without teture, because of the touch of the hands, I asume. 

The fact is I want to change the skin, I already did the same with my old nikons: with the time, they need to be re-stiked or changed. But I was looking for replacement in this case, and I only find skins of weird colors and textures, not the original ones. ¿Anybody knows where t find the skin replacement? 

Thank you.

Aki-Asahi makes some custom replacements but they don’t seem to have ever made any for X-T1 and any successors but you should be alright with your X-Pro-1 ( they have plenty!)

Of course be aware of the fact that replacing the skin automatically voids your guarantee!

 

Fuji UK does provide custom skins ( keeping the guarantee) for new or used cameras but they charge you a premium for the privilege.

However this doesn’t YET include the X-T1 but it does include your X-Pro-1

Wow.  I'd wipe the peanut butter from your hands before touching the camera from now on  :)   Only kidding.    I've had my X-T1 now for 18 months and I use it just about every day for shooting personal, work, and stock and haven't had a problem.  That is strange...

We shall see how it fares after this next business (stock) trip.  I'll be in very humid and hot environment pretty much shooting regularly in and around salt water!  As long as I don't drop it....

Yes, those are the skins I was talking about, I hate the colors and the textures. I want to replace the skin with the same skin, discrete, black, and simple. 

Thank you.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
