New to the site and to Fuji, I formily shot with all canon gear (7D, 24-70 F2.8 VC, 70-200 F2.8 VC, 100-400L) but haven't had much time to shoot lately so I sold off all my gear a few months back only to find out last week my wife is pregnant with our first children(having twins!!!) So I'm looking to purchase into a new system. Prior to selling everything I was considering changing over to Fuji so this seemed like a perfect chance to do that.

 

Having never shot with Fuji or a mirrorless camera I'm sure there is going to be a lot I need to learn and get use to but, right now that plan is to start out with an x-e2s and 35 F2.(unless I come across a great deal on a X-T1 due to my budget) From my Canon kit you can see I was much more of a zoom user but I want to explore primes especially with the new borns coming and figure this is a good starting point and I'll likely add the 56mm to my kit at some point then once they get running around I definitely want the 100-400. That was by far my most used lens with Canon.

 

My biggest concern coming from a DSLR is going to be getting use to the auto focus speed of these cameras. Ive been told Sony is faster but the lenses Fuji offers and at a much more affordable price it has me set on them, I just hope I'm not going to end up being disappointed and wishing that I went back to a DSLR (7D II or D7200).

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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
