X-S10 Accessories

Coming from the M50 I was used to having a lot of online guidance for how to choose accessories for my camera choice depending on what my intended usage was.  I've had to feel it out as I go with the X-S10, which does not have quite the widespread coverage the M50 had.  I was noticing a lot of requests for items in this forum, often for simple functionality such as cable releases, eyecups and the like and thought it might be useful to start a thread sharing a few basic details about how we use our cameras, what we found worked well, what did not work out/was a waste of money, and links to where to find them.  Hopefully this is helpful to others.

Use: Photos only, no video

Type: Portrait, candid, street, protest & landscape

One note: I am patient on what I buy, am willing to buy used, and usually have a price in mind when I add to a watch list/wish list. 

Any must have accessories for photos that I've missed here? Any alternatives to this setup that make more sense? What are you all carrying?

i also switched from a mirrorless canon to the x-s10, but from the M5

bags...too many bags...i never have the perfect bag...2 shoulder bags, 1 sling, 3 backpacks...

i also use a peak design leash for whenever i need to throw the camera over my shoulder, otherwise i attach a pd cuff

recently got a national geographic carbon tripod which seems really well made and goes up to 1.8m and it was only 100€

what is waiting in my basket on amazon is a set of 2 patona batteries, a nitecore dual charger and an L plate similar to the smallrig one but for half the price

 

the camera is quite new to the market and a different form factor from the regular fuji style of bodies so it makes sense that there aren't that many dedicated accessories yet, but this will change

      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.

      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

      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.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
