Being fed up with its bulk , about 6 months ago I switched from  a Canon 5d mki to fuji xt1. Generally I'm happy, I have a converter so  I can use my old lenses and the fuji, 18 & 27mm. No complaints at all with those. However, I'm getting frustrated with how bloody anoying and fiddly the camera is to use. I keep knocking the drive ,metering ,shutter and the exp comp dials when ever I pick it up and I can't use the rear dial without a thumb In my eye. I'm really happy with how much size and weight I've saved, but its starting to become a chore to use.  Is this a shared observation of fuji or is it just me and fat fingers. Is there an alternate to the xt1 that is easier to use or should I just carry on and hope to get used to it

I own the X-T1, which I now use as my fake XPro2 or 3 with the 27mm 2.8 lens.  I love that camera.  However, it is rather tiny compared to the X-H1 and even the X-T2.  Have you tried those?  In additions I ALWAYS had an issue with the X-T1 and the almost recessed buttons on the back. I even tried Sugaru to raise them which worked for a while, but it does come off. 

You may want to consider another camera body and use the X-T1, like a compact - which is what I do now.  I keep it in my bag and pull it out whenever the opportunity arises during my commute.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
