Heads up if you download and update the 1.12 firmware update to your XC 16-50 OIS II lens.

The download is not the firmware .DAT file that you normally copy directly to memory card for the update process. The file you download is a .ZIP file containing a sub-folder which in turn contains two .DAT files. The files are named XFUP0022.DAT and XFUP0030.DAT. XFUP0030.DAT is the one that works. Copy that file to your memory card and proceed per Fujifilm's instructions.   

I updated three lenses: XF 18-55, XC 16-50 OIS II, and XC 50-230 OIS II. I didn't see any difference in the XF 18-55. The XC 16-50 seems to focus faster and quieter at distance; it hiccups to focus up close, which it always did. The XC 50-230 continues to impress me as my favorite lens for every reason you can name. After the firmware update, it seems faster and quieter to focus.

This could be my imagination too, since Fujifilm says these are minor bug fixes. In any event, at least two of the three lenses I updated give me the perception of improved performance. Thank you, Fujifilm.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
