This Sunday I would like to investigate a crucial question. It’s probably the questions of all questions. The Fujifilm X100V looks better in silver or black? ;) I have a theory I will explain later… but first the rankings. I…

I had all the s/t/f in silver but I regret having ordered the V (also in silver) since it seems to have a lot of issues!

“Silver beats black.” Is that a law, or something?

I only buy used, so it’s a matter of what’s available in my budget. Both have the same features and functions.

I have had silver and black cameras, and I actually don’t care.

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post. I think your personalisation of the camera is totally cool.  I have ideas on how I could change my camera.  Could you please describe what exactly was done here. Material, printing, what technique to cut out, what glue etc.?
I would love to make something similar....

Best regards,

I’ve been shooting cameras since 1960, back then almost all cameras had silver bodies, but about 10 years later many cameras started to appear wearing black finishes.  The marketing was that black cameras were more stealth.  Brassing that is the edges of the body started to show the brass metal below the painted surface, in time this look was a sign of honor that the photographer really used the camera and so it seems most bodies were now black.  Sign of the times?, fashion statement? I don’t know but I’ve been buying black bodies ever since.

      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

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
