Good morning. I am Alan from the UK. Currently using Canon M50, with M glass and Lovely Sigma glass. Looking to upgrade and change system and extremely interested in the new Fuji XH2. I’m a multi-discipline amateur so Landscape, Seascape, Planes/fighter jets, Street and more ongoing. Want resolution AND decent speed, but speed isn’t the most important as Ive been used to a very modest output on the M50 and take sharp photos on the Jets. . 

Always appreciated Fuji colours and the brand as a whole. Considering Sony FF, but leaning towards the new XH2. 

 

How have new owners and experienced Fuji users found this?

 

thanks AL

Just got my X-H2 with a 33mm f/1.4 2 days ago but I haven't been doing any photography since 2017. All I can say with this new body paired with the new prime lens is that the autofocus is outstanding, also to be honest the X-H2 feels better ergonomically to use compared to the X-T series as blasphemous as it sounds as a lot of people who switch to Fuji is because of the X-T series and its retro feels which sadly I thought I would like but didn't. This is from the perspective of someone who last shot with a Canon 7D2 and X-T20 5 years ago :).

Same here ... 

I've arrive at Fuji after 30+ years of Canon ... wanted quality in a smaller form factor ... went the X-T3 route first thinking I'd like the dials etc.(having initially shot 100% manual on film) ... but just found myself frustrated that I was always changing settings other than the exposure in the camera.   

I much prefer the C1-C7 on the X-H2 that I can setup how I want ...

      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.

      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

      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.
