Hi folks,

 

Just recently bought the X-T10 and so far, I'm loving it. I've been shooting Nikon's for years but wanted something smaller to use mainly with the family. I have been really impressed with the raw files and the sharpness of the 18-55mm "kit" lens. Trying to decide what lens to get next. Here is one taken at the farmers' market I manage.

Welcome on the forum.

 

I agree, the 18-55 will cover most bases for the time being, time will tell you want to buy.

 

Maybe you are a wideangle person, maybe you are a portrait person or maybe both. Just don’t go buying things before you really need them. On the other hand having previous experience to capitalize upon, you probably already know what you want.

 

There is plenty to read here and to ponder upon.

I also have the same combination. My second lens is being mailed to me, purchased used on B&H Photo, a 50-230 zoom with new Hoya HMC filter for $200. I own a lot of heavy photo equipment so my goal was to go simple and light. The camera that got me into Fujifilm is the X100S. I was astounded by the jpeg colors and sharp lens, reminiscent of the film era. I swore the X100S would be my last camera purchase, then the X-T10 came out including the 18-55 lens for $100 more than the body alone so I hope the range of 16-230 (with two lens combo) will last me long into the future and make packing and traveling much easier.

Congrats on the new purchase. I recently converted back to Fuji after years using Nikon. I was leaning towards the X-T10 but jumped at Amazon't black Friday deal on the X-T1 18-135mm combo. I'm still learning the system but here is one I took the other day while messing around.

I just got an X-T10 with 18-55 a couple weeks back. Sold off some Canon gear to get it. It's definitely putting the fun back in photography for me, and that 18-55 is one of the nicest "kit" lenses I've ever used. 

 

BTW, I dig your Farmer's Market shot.

      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.
