I m looking for a low profile L bracket for my XT5.  Any ideas? 

The L brackets listing on eBay are comes with a extended hand grip, which is not for my taste. All I want is a sample quick release bracket with the battery access.

Happy Holidays to you all.

Sunwayfoto makes one https://sunwayfoto-store.com/products/pfl-xt5-l-bracket-for-fujifilm-x-t5-arca-swiss-quick-release-l-plate 

SmallRig also has one and it's available to order from eBay.com https://www.ebay.com/itm/295314548925

Just be aware that both are shipped from China.  The latter has a delivery estimates of March :(  The former might delivered in a more reasonable time, but as SunwayFoto mentions on their web site, the Chinese Spring Festival may delay shipments.

There is also Really Right Stuff, but that is pre-order only and quite expensive at $225.

At some point, I'm sure the SunwayFoto bracket will be available on Amazon.com.  I have a number of rails and pano clamps from them that I ordered on Amazon to build my Pano rig.

Hi All,

I just made a purchase through AliExpress.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804815855408.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.52dbf19cHWUNSl&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US

The price is good and it is exactly what I want. I don't feel like to get the extra hand grip to make my camera bigger. That's the point to get an expensive APS-C camera, right? I shoot most landscape and like to pack light to hike.

I m not sure why the seller needs to take WEEKS to ship that little thing... will keep you all posted if I have received it. Fingers crossed.

I purchased one from this guy at :

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SmallRig-Arca-Swiss-L-Bracket-for-FUJIFILM-X-T5-Mirrorless-Camera-Black-4137/125592497931?pageci=d76a2f52-6fe4-4b25-a913-245b402155fe&epid=22057461559&redirect=mobile

He is saying March 4th for delivery, which is about the month it took me to get mine. The New Years festival doesn't help. SmallRig has been saying "Available Soon" since the XT5 release.

I like mine. I think it is well made. Really like the pop-out side bracket.

I have the JJC and Smallrig, have to say Smallrig is much better than JJC (the grip is too thicker ), unless you prefer a hard metal grip. I think Fuji's and Smallrig are best options.

For smallrig plate, you may have to grate the edge where the bottom of your hand rest for it to feel like the camera body edge.

I have the SmallRig that I bought in Dec. and it has been my best L-bracket for any of my cameras. The side bracket has an about one inch movement and it is easy to manipulate it. It enhances the camera and the grip of the camera.

Hi All,

The L-Bracket I brought from Aliexpress is pretty good. The side bracket is adjustable and removable.

I love it.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
