Waitwaitwait.  Why exactly is this new forum being launched?

 

You guys already know about http://www.fujix-forum.com/ right?  The site that's been around for over 3 years and has over 43,000 members?

 

Isn't this new site going to further splinter the user base? (who already has to contend with dpreview's forums, the original Fuji X forum, plus a few other oddballs like http://www.fujixseries.com/, http://www.fujixspot.com/forums/, and subforums on sites like ephotozine and digitalcamerareview.com)

 

Rather than everyone trying to be "the" official forum, why not try to coalesce all that energy and inspiration into one place?

We are living in a free world - so:

Why not?

 

In my experience competition is a good thing.

 

I'm already running several forums - both German and International

Sometimes I'm the gorilla in the cage (right term in English), sometimes I'm the runner-up - but always with strong competitors.

 

Some of them I like and cooperate with them in various fields, some - uhm - not.

All of them help me to stay alert and to improve the service.

 

Difficult to make up good comparisons - but I don't want to live in a world Microsoft only (or Linux or Mac).

 

 

OK?

Can we break down the Rumor topic into sub-topics? Right now, it probably isn't an issue. But when there are thousands of posts, it would be easier to find the rumors/news that you want through sub-topics. Such as Camera, Firmware, Lens, etc.

 

Can we also separate the deals from the rumors.

 

Thanks! Other than that, great start.

On the subject, why does only the Street Photography section have 'Photography' in the title? ;)

 

This is because Street is the thread with the most controversial and mostly off-topic discussions. So it's a good idea to remind everyone that the thread is dedicated to photography but not to trollism.

Hi all

 

I first visited the fuji x forum starting at feedly where I got the news on fuji rumors. When I enter the forum like this I see a much more convenient user interface (font is bigger, more space, better to read...). What's the difference to the standard webbrowser user interface? I am using an iPhone 6.

Cool... Guessing this is new.  Own the X100T (formerly had the S) and added an X-T1 this year due to an nagging injury that makes lugging a dslr and 70-200 painful.  No the X system does not replace that, but it is a great system for out and about shooting.  I'll probably share more after hockey season as I watch all the Stanley Cup finals games regardless of who is playing.  Cheers!

I know you could say that its already covered in 'Street Photography' and I understand that you don't want to create an endless list of photography types, but would you consider adding 'Urban Photography' to the list? I see urban photography as including the urban environment in a broader sense that street photography including the built environment, urban infrastructure, architecture and more. However, if you would rather not I will post away in the 'Miscellaneous' section.

Well the arrival of this new site apparently triggered the other fujix-forum to change their banner to help avoid confusion:

 

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here…

Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Somehow I figured something like this would happen...

I have spend some "Likes" yesterday and tried to do so today again. This is the message I got: "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day"!

 

How much is allowed per day and would it be possible to raise the limit little bit? Seams to be set to a very restrictive value at the moment ;)

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
