I recently bought a Fuji X-T4 and within a month my USB-C headphone jack adapter began to come apart so, since Fuji did not offer a replacement part, I bought a replacement part on Amazon but it didn't work. I then bought another couple of adaptors of different brands to be safe and none worked. I bought a 4th one from another brand and it didnt work either. The original Fuji adapter still works, though flimsy, so I'm able to verify that it's not a camera set up -or me- but rather the fact that no adaptor but the original that came with the camera works.  I google the crap out of it and nobody has a replacement part or even talks about it. I search in Fuji forum's and nada, it's not a thing. After Fuji makes the Apple-like mistake of taking away the essential mini headphone jack, am I the first and only cat who wants to have a replacement in the world? Has anybody else found a replacement part that works? Fuji, if you're listening, can you, like, offer a replacement part so that, if we loose the dongle or it falls apart like mine has we are not like, totally screwed on a remote location not able to monitor sound with headphones, which is like, a world-wide standard procedure for recording video!? I'm I dreaming!?

I bought a two usb-c to 3.5mm audio adapters on eBay recently.

The first one did NOT show up on my Mac either as an input or output device, but worked fine as a headphone monitor adapter on my X-T4 and X-E4 in movie mode. I couldn't make it work with my Mac.

The second one was advertised as containing 'a Connexant Smart DAC chip' and showed up on my Mac as a USB-C audio device on both input and output. I could listen to music from my Mac and see the volume go up and down as I touched the microphone on my headset. (My headsets were an Apple wired earbuds or a pair of Sennheiser Urban headphones with microphone, both with a 3.5mm TRRS connector) The second adapter did not work with either my X-T4 nor my X-E4.

Not sure where this leaves 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! 
    • I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !
    • First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
    • I discovered this unmarked government installation today.
