Hi there,

 

after some consideration, I finally got the X-T10 for my girlfriend.

She's happy so far with the camera, though the main issue she's going through is the EVF.

Out on the field, especially in sunny day, the lack of an extended eye cup it's very annoying.

I've looked for an eye cup but I couldn't find anything specifically for this camera.

Except for an adapter and a X-T1, the latter won't fit.

 

Any suggestion?

By the way,i just ordered this, and he indicated he now has the version that does not block the eye sensor. So be sure to ask for that version.

 

Can you please give an update when you receive the new adapter? I actually stumbled onto that when looking for a solution to the terrible eyecup design on the X-T10 and would like to know how it turns out. I'm curious how far it sticks out and how much of the LCD screen it blocks. I was also wondering if other smaller eyecups could be adapted. I like the fact that I can slip the camera into my hoodie pocket but the DK-19 is pretty big. I've read that there are issues with tilting the screen as well as the view through the adapter getting in the way of the corners of the viewfinder.

The "new" model does not block the eye sensor.  My guess is that it sticks out abut 3/4" and only obscures about 1/4', in a half-moon shape, at the top of the LCD.  No issues with the tilting screen if you pull it out from the bottom.  I can do more accurate measurements if wanted and a picture as well.  Too late to do that tonight.

Yes anymore information regarding the new adapter and pictures would be great. Which eyecup are you using with the adapter?

The combination of the shapeways adapter and the Nikon eyecup.  Images attached, taken in a hurry.

Hey sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I received the version with the cutout for the eye sensor, and I'm pretty pleased.  The assembly isn't quite as snug as I'd like, but given the amount of material to work with on the camera body, it's fine.  The eye sensor appears to work normally, and the Nikon eye cup really helps to block out sunlight in bright conditions.  I'd say it's definitely worth the money.

 

As another poster stated, using the articulating screen can be a little difficult with the eye cup mounted, but it is still usable.  Just have to be careful not to pop the cup assembly off with the screen.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
