Like title sais, I went out to play with my newest toy, Vivitar 2x macro focusing tele converter. I got it for 20€and it is interesting little device. It can serve as regular tele converter but also as macro converter. It has build in focusing helicod and can turn your regular 50mm lens into 100mm macro 1:1 lens. I use it with Canon 50 1.4 so it converts it to 100 2.8 1:1 macro.  As regular converter  it is nothing special, but for macro I find it quite good, especially when considering price. It is sharp enough and is easy to use. For 1:1 magnification you need to focus lens to closest distance and then use focus on converter to get to max magnification.  It is also possible to use all steps in between. These samples are all handheld, aperture on lens was set to f8 and I used built in flash as I left my Yongnuo at home. It is hard to handheld at 1:1 as doff is really thin but with practice it should get easier.

      Xf35mm F2 hood vs xf23mm F2 hood

      By pw-pix · Posted

      I have a Haoge LH-FJ35 that I use on both the XF 32/2 and XF 23/2. It has the bayonet mount around the lend front so does not occupy the filter threads. It does not vignette on the 23mm. So the bayonet must be the same on the two lenses, So the 23mm Fuji OEM hood should also fit the 35mm.

      Fujinon XF150-600mm fall and early-winter 2024 discounts?

      By TBray · Posted

      Good day all - I plan to buy a Fujinon XF150-600mm in the next month or so, but wondering if it would be worthwhile to hold out a bit to wait for a possible winter-discount?    I know that last winter there was a discount of $400 or so on the 150-600mm, and I am wondering if that is a typical seasonal discount that we can expect again this coming winter?   Thank you for any insight!

      Fuji X-H2S rec only for 1s when using DJI RS3 Pro rec button

      By Don Barar · Posted

      I have a similar issue with my X-H2S (Firmware 7.0) and my RS2 (RS2 does not formerly support the X-H2S).  However, most of time when I select record on the RS2, the camera records for a short period of time and then stops.  A second press of record on the RS2 will result in the camera staying in record. The behavior is odd because X-H2S firmware 1.1 there was no issue when pressing record on the RS2.  Somewhere around X-H2S release of firmware 3.0 this became an issue. I do not believe this to be an issue with your gimbal.   This is a Fujifilm firmware issue!  Good luck getting this resolved by Fujifilm.  But I really doubt you will get very far.  Fujifilm firmware development is absolute train wreck.  Look at what is going on with autofocus.  In two years, they have gone from an autofocus that worked reasonably well, to an autofocus that many complained about, to one that works better but still is not as good as the original. To the fairest, Eris

      In camera cropping only on jpeg?

      By BobJ · Posted

      You have to shoot in raw and jpeg to see the crops but still get the raw.
