Hi 

I have just noticed that there seems to be a slight bit of play between the camera body and the lens not circular but a forward and backward motion,  the body is an XT2 and has no issues with other lenses, just wondered whether this was normal and I had not been aware of it before  

many thanks in advance for any feedback

I shoot with this lens for thousands of shots of my grandsons sporting events. I am using an X-T2 and have had the combo for probably 4-5 years, I have no play between the camera and lens. I use a mono-pod for nearly all shots, and Idonotice some rotational movement between the two, there is no horizontal movement of play between the lens and camera. If you are not having the issue with other lens', then the lens mount plate out be loose. As mentioned before, you need to get this looked at in order to get in-focus results.

Thanks for the feedback surprisingly I do not seem to have any focussing issues at all but I'll have a look at the mounting plate to see if the movement is there, as I said earlier the 'wobble' is so minute  we are talking about the thickness of a piece of  masking tape

thanks for the feedback I have checked the lens mount plate and the screws at the bottom of the lens were not tight I have retightened and the wobble is no more hopefully it is fixed but I shall keep my eye on it

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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
