My iPad updated the Cam Remote app to v2.0.........

I know this starts off as a (well Intentioned) rant, but it dors get betternd there is a really critical point here (Author needs an ego check)...

 

Groan, scream, yell!!!!!!!

 

Why, oh why oh WHY can't Fuji do the extra work (and it is fairly TRIVIAL) to make this app feel comfortable on an ipad and....... work in Landscape. This way iPad and iPad Pro users can utilize the split screan multi tasking that makes the iPad and iPad air so darned useful.

 

Come on Fuji this is a Major upgrade of your app, And the second "Kaizen" release where you have missed this!!!!!!!

 

And if you dont get why it should be done, maybe ship a toolkit so other developers could add this and other nice tweeks.

 

My only real gripe with Fuji has been their Mac AND ESPECIALLY their POOR IOS App implementation.

 

I realize that Apple only holds 14% handset/device market share (at 200Billion plus devices still nothing to sneeze at), even if you ignore the analysts reports that Apple makes 90%+ of the total PROFITS made in the smartphone/device sector, and consider what that means in light if all the research out there that shows how many apple device users are using them for rich interaction with other devices..... you know things like controlling their Fuji camers!!!!!

 

I suppose that it is not nice to rant at you, especially since you are totally upgrading my XE2, so let me give you a neat suggestion........GRATIS.

 

You mustbhave noticed TVOS, and i am sure some ofvyour developers have loaded this up onto Apple TV 4.0 devices. now the latest 9.3 beta enables blutook keyboards and other devices..........

 

It is TRUELY TRIVIAL to port an IOS app to TVOS (I know, I have done it, and my coding skills are worse that my photography skills........... Just think what that Apple TV device could do coupled with your Camera Remote Client.

 

Has the penny dropped yet............

 

If not think what the Apple TV 4.0 really is.........

 

If you still think it is a setop box, you are wrong

      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

      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

      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.
