Dear Fuji X Forum.

I have an X100s .  Have been looking on line for a USBC ( New iMac) cable to connect to tiny USB multi port  on side  of camera.

( I wish to upload my images ) 

Have found several with the Regular USB2  but my owner manual distinctly indicates " do not use a USB hub or keyboard"  

I found one cable that looks suitable on Amazon  US but they will not send to me in the Philippines.

Is this really an issue?  - or can I ignore the handbook and upload  images into my iMac via a USB hub 

Any advice gratefully received.

Joe

Use a good quality USB cable that is capable of data. 
…do not use a USB charging only cable (does not pass data) 

For best performance, the manufacturer recommends that you plug the USB cable directly into the computer. 
Plugging it into a USB hub that is used with other devices may cause signal degradation or interference.

Personally, I prefer Anker brand USB cables. 
…I have also found that AmazonBasics USB cables are very good.

I believe that you need a USB-C to Micro USB cable for the X100S/iMac connection  

Hope this helps.

Thanks ever so for feedback - re USBC to USB Micro - been looking and surprised they hard to find- 

neither Amazon basics or Ankar appear to make ont - USB Micro to standard  USB A 2 a dime a dozen. 

Consequently think I shall have to keep pulling out the data card to use card reader. 

As I am anchient and only understands analogue film cameras - am sure this is a wise thing to do regularly - dirt -bad contact issues etc ?

Anyways , really appreciate you taking the time. JB

      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.

      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.
