Thank you for the warm welcome from a DPReview member. I’ve been checking in with DPReview since around 2001. Sorry to see it go, but nice to be here. I currently own an X-T5 with the 18 1.4. Never seen images so detailed, even with the full frame models I’ve owned. Also have an X100V for about two years now. Beautiful equipment. I started in photography with a Miranda Sensorex II in 1972.

Hello everyone! I saw my first Fujifilm camera at dpreview and it was love at first sight. I owned Canon at the time, but I found the Fuji system much more engaging. I'm shooting with the XT2, a small collection of lenses, and a GFX 50S system. Oh and the X70. I make large prints. I'm trying to improve composition. I do photography for fun. 😊

Hi and thanks for welcoming is dpreview folk into the fold. I was sorry to see depreview going; for me, it was a great source of information on new products, as well as advice and support. It will be great to have an alternative place for Fujifilm discussions.

I own an X-T3, which I use with a variety of lenses - most often these days with the 100-400, as a big interest is photographing birds.  Thinking of swapping for the X-H2 or - more likely, IF it gets the same AF update as the X-H2 received - the X-T5.

Looking forward to seeing discussions here. Thanks again.

Not a refugee, but I don't think I've ever introduced myself. 

Been using Fuji since 2018 when I started with the XT20, and I've since gone from the XT3 to the XT5! Mostly shoot landscapes and nature. But, dabble in street. Look forward to these forums getting more in depth and having bigger discussion

SO DP Review has successfully created refugees ahahahhahahah after all these years. I thought they could leave it dormant at least or let a volunteer take it up to manage which im sure they would have had more than required.

 

Anyway Im Richard, from Ghana. Been using fujifilms since 2018. Using the xpros, Xts, X100 and X10 and XQ. Fun times. I hope to be active and learn and contribute here.

I'm happy to be on this new forum! I will miss DP Review. I did not know they were shutting down but I have been less active in the photography scene as I have been moving away from professional fashion photography and more into mechanical engineering, sustainable architecture and eVTOL.

Long exposure night shots were my favorite before. (23mm Sony)

Recently been doing more snowy landscapes here in Vermont. (14mm fixed)

Thanks for the welcome!

Hi, I am a long time DPReview Fujifilm X forum user, basically visit there everyday and started many threads about lens sharpness test and comparison.

Owned many generations of Fuji cameras since X-T2 (came from Sony A7R3), and I am so happy with what Fujifilm brought us over the years, the improved primes, 40mp X-T5 are just dream came true! Also looking at buying X-Pro4 when released.

Hopefully I can find my second home here :)

    • 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...
    • I discovered this unmarked government installation today.
