Greetings!  gnuhapi is my alias and I'm an analog dinosaur, beginning to learn and get happy with digital.  My first camera was a Kodak Brownie and from there I progressed through Aires, Canon, Leica, Yashica, Nikon and a few experimental stints with Hasselblad, Speed Graphic and a custom 16x20 graphic arts camera which I built into my darkroom wall.  I did some photojournalism, advertising racetrack, wedding and evidence photography during several other careers which fed me.  Retirement and subsequent travel brought on the sale of my surviving Nikons and the purchase of a nondescript digital, a couple of Canons and a doomed-to-failure Nikon 1V2.

When the Nikon's lens failed, and my Canon G-11 would not fit the bill for a scheduled trip to Turin this April, I bought an X-Pro2.  Naturally, the normal 35mm lens wouldn't suffice, so along came the 18-135.  When the trip was cancelled due to the pandemic, and I was locked down at home in Spain, I amused myself shopping on Amazon.  Along came an EX-3 with a 27mm, a 23mm and ultimately the X100V and too many peripherals to admit to.

My photography is eclectic but heavy on a preference for Black & White and documentary shots.  I also do many reference photos as I paint as well.  I'm enthused to find this forum and looking forward to learning and communicating.

Hi there, Didiergm here, from France, a non-gifted amateur who insists on taking images in the hope that sometimes a couple of them will be pleasant enough to be printed, framed and put up on the wall

Hi, I’m a long time amateur photographer from the south of England. I’ve recently bought my first FujiFilm camera, a X-H1 and a couple of lenses. My previous digital cameras have been Canon and Pentax.  I’ve always liked the look of Fuji stuff but never got round to buying a camera from them until recently. The X-H1 ticked all the boxes for an upgrade and the price was very affordable. I’m really enjoying using my new Fuji stuff and am really liking the colours and quality of the pictures I’m getting from the X-H1.

Hi all. I'm a recent Fuji convert from Olympus, and have so far got myself a X-H1, XF18-55, XF55-200 and a Samyang 12mm. Next purchase will be a 100-400 then stop spending!!

I mostly do landscapes with a bit of wildlife thrown in, but don't really photograph people!

Hi all

 

I’m a micro four thirds convert. Just sold all my m43 gear and purchased the x-t4 with 16-80mm. My first Fuji setup. I can honestly say, it was the best decision I have made. Had been considering it for years and don’t know why I waited so long. 
 

I’m absolutely blown away by the results I’m getting straight out the camera

New Fuji user here but I've been a full time photographer for the last 15 years.   Just picked up the X-T4 and a couple f/2 crons.  Really happy with the system so far but I really enjoy mounting vintage glass to the body. The results are stunning.

Not Exactly new, but Don't think I introduced my self.  Must have missed this thread.

I'm Aaron.  I love doing both 4K video, and Photography.  I did have a X-T4, but returned it.  There were some money issues.  And some other things.  But will replace it shortly.  I strongly believe that who we are as creators, shows the world who we are.  Here is who I am:

Wonderful camera. For a very good explanation of all the dials, buttons and possible settings, have a look at David Greengo at Creative Live.

Hi everybody. I am a long time amateur photographer based in the North of England. My interests are in landscape and portraiture. Most of my photography has been done here and in the west of Ireland. I have the X-Pro2 and a range of fixed and telephoto lenses together with the X-100F and X-100V and love the cameras. Having for many years done film photography using Olympus OM cameras, I feel very much at home with Fujifilm's film simulations - no manufacturer gets near their gorgeous renditions. Now four years in with Fujifilm after using Pentax as my first digital experience.

Hi everybody. I'm from Milan, Italy and pretty new to the photo world in general. I have the XT3 still with the kit lens 18-55 and the XH1 mostly used with 50-140 2.8. For the moment I'm focused on natural life and sport in particular road bike and triathlon.

I would love to get some tips on the use and probably the proper AF (c) setting especially related to road bike races. Is there a dedicated area of the forum for such technical discussions?

Thanks a lot !

Fabrizio

Hi everybody.

I am Rainer from Helsinki, Finland. 

I just sold all my Nikon gear (about 10 kg 😆 ) which I have been using since switching to digital 2004. I got a XT-4 and lenses 16-80 and 100-400. So far I'm very pleased.

I shoot mainly landscapes and nature.

      Can't connect to XApp

      By MYH · Posted

      Equipment: Fujiflim X-M5 (firmware V 1.10). iPhone 15 pro (26.1) I am unable to properly connect my Fujifilm X-M5 to XApp on my iPhone 15 Pro. This setup previously worked without issues, but now the app only supports a basic remote shutter and no longer allows Get or Take mode, which are required for remote parameter control and shooting. I have repeatedly Initialized “FUJIFILM XApp”, re-paired the camera, reset wireless settings, and confirmed the camera is not in airplane mode, with both devices placed next to each other. None of these steps resolved the issue. Also, I am unable to update the camera firmware, as the process always fails with a “connection failed” message. I need clarification on whether this is a known firmware or compatibility issue and what the actual solution is.

      Fall pictures

      By jerryy · Posted

      Last day of autumn 2025. Autumn is gradual. Summer field crops slowly ripening. Cool, longer nights turn into morning fogs. Color (colour) touches here and there taking the place of flowers now resting until Spring. Then, after that slow introduction, Fall is everywhere. Winter is brash, Winter is not at all subtle. Freezing cold days and colder nights. The Sun struggles to get above the horizon. Bare fields, iced over streams and woe (‘Woe!! I say!’) to trees or shrubs holding onto leaves.

        But there is sledding, skiing and hot chocolate for those that like those things 😀.

      Exposure Compensation Dial vs Display

      By Sailortim · Posted

      For some reason, the EV dial setting does not correlate to the EV setting displayed in the viewfinder.  My XT2 used to have parity between settings such that when the dial was at "0", the viewfinder also showed "0".  Has anybody else noticed this?  I've tried a reset of the s/w but no luck.
