Hi Everyone,

 

Just recently bought the Fuji xt1 with 35mm F2 lens. So far I am finding it a really fun camera to use compared to my canon 550d with 17-55mm F2.8! Canon was great but I felt it was missing something.

 

Anyway, what I would like to know if anyone has used the EFS 17-55mm F2.8 on the Fuji XT1?

Or am I better off selling everything and get the Fuji equivalent lens?

I am not very good with Canon gear but correct me if I am wrong. That lens doesn't have an aperture ring, right ?

 

If so, you will not be able to change the setting on just the X-T1 and chances are you are going to use the auto focus. If there is any adapter that allows both features to work on a Fuji system, I do not know.

 

Maybe someone else on the forum would be able to help ?

I used to have a Canon 17-55 with my 70D and although it's the best zoom lens for crop sensors, I remember it being pretty hefty. Adding an adapter would make it that much bigger with no upside since you couldn't even change the aperture. I'd sell it since it has good resale value and buy a Fuji 16-55 when it goes on sale.

    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
