Fuji XT5 quick test

Hi

 

I tried the Fuji XT5 in the store in London at the weekend.

I was pushed for time so tried a couple of test shots, I plugged my own SD card in to check later.

I had the 18mm f1.4 lens on and took some test shots at 500s, ISO 200, f1.4

They seem a little noisy to me though ? I'm wondering if it might have been another setting on the XT5 I got wrong ?

Maybe I'm being fussy, I focussed on the bottom right hand side of the monitor on the far wall.

I didn't make any changes to this image I just exported it from C1.

 

The 2nd image (darker one) is for comparison and is from my leica Q, 28mm f1.7 500s ISO 200

 

Any ideas ?

First thing that comes to mind with limited knowledge of the settings is my hunch blames the glass not the body. Can you share more info? AF vs MF, what else could you tell was turned on or off? Not much to go by here. The X-T5 is a top tier camera body and you might think a shop would have a perfectly working model for use for sales purposes.

Hi, that's part of the issue, I didn't have much time to spend in the shop as we were headed to a show. Auto focus for a couple of quick snaps. The images here are exported from C1 in Instagram format, 300 x 1080.

The original jpg files are all 7728 x 5152 which suggest they are Large3:2

The lens is the new 18mm f1.4 which gets great reviews. Weird really.

Body has v2.0 firmware according to C1.

I'd love to see similar captures with the same combo. I'm convinced it must be something I've missed. I should have set the camera to capture jpg and raw.

If you didn't shoot in RAW and only have JPEGs to look at, it's quite possible the grain setting was on. This might be reflected in the EXIF data of the JPEG. Not sure if C1 would show it but if you load it up in Fuji X RAW Studio, you should be able to see it under GRAIN EFFECT.

I think you are correct. 5 mins in the shop isn't enough time to get used to the new camera. I got this shot the other day in Berlin. This is SOOC 📷

      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

      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.
