Hi and lens help / advice please


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

new to the forum and thanks I’m advance for and help and advice given, and sorry if this is in the wrong place. 
 

I mostly shoot street photography and as such my lens lineup is 16mm1.4, 23mm1.4, 35mm1.4. Possibly a bit overkill for my needs but I can’t choose between the 23 and 35 and I have a pretty even spread in terms of percentages used. I bought a viltrox 56mm1.4  for portraits just mainly for personal use of my son and cat (sad to admit that part I know) but recently I’ve been doing more portrait work and seem to be getting asked more and more to do so. 
 

With the above in mind I have a few options trade in the viltrox and make a hefty outlay on the 50mm1.0 (I’m discounting the 2.0 as I do a fair amount of my photography after my day job and well it is dark here early). As before sell the viltrox and get the Fuji 56mm1.2 (will I notice that much of a difference, and is it worth it, the only negatives I have with the viltrox is the amount of purple fringing to sort in post?). Alternatively there is the 90mm (I know it’s 2 as I just discounted but I am thinking keep the viltrox for when low light requires another step and use the 90 as main shooter otherwise). 
 

Thoughts will be greatly greatly received from those with experience in this. I should add mostly my portrait stuff is still outdoors, im not a studio kind of guy and I like to take advantage of the beautiful city I live in. 
 

Thanks in advance.

    • X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card
    • Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.
    • I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.
    • So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
    • All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!
