OK!

 

Time for the next part of my X-Pro2 review:

 

This week I take a took at (well through) the Electronic Range Finder.

 

I have to say; it's totally amazing, and clever and innovative... and also I have to advise why you might not want to use it all the time...

This week's instalment of the X-Pro2 review:

 

It seems that history repeats itself and people are making very similar claims about the X-Pro2, as they did the X-Pro1...

 

Whether or not these opinions are valid, is a matter of opinion!

 

But let's take a little look and see what we think!

I have shared this elsewhere on our forum...

 

but to keep continuity to my X-Pro2 review:

 

I'm sure I won't be the only internet writer blogging about this today(!!), but here's my 1st look at the Fujifilm XPro2 new Firmware - so what do all these new things mean & do?
 
I think I have some answers!

Today I begin a series about using the RFC (powered by SilkyPix) RAW convertor that is supplied with Fuji camera.

 

I'm not about to big RFC up as the best tool out there (it's not!), but it gets a "bad press" and when a lot of people say that something is very bad, I (personally) always like to take a look for myself..

After the 'far more work than I expected' series about RFC, it's back to actually talking about photography with the X-Pro2 for this week's instalment :)

 

The regular followers out there will notice that I'm releasing this on Saturday night, not Sunday morning...

 

...This means two things: 1) Yes I clearly have no life :D and 2) I'm on location all day tomorrow!

 

So for this week, I recall the first time I trusted the X-Pro2 out in the field... How did I find it?

  • 4 weeks later...
After the 4 part XF56 APD review, it's time to get back to the reality of what I actually do own and can afford :D

 

With many people (but not all of course) about to enter into the ritual of gift giving, I take a look at what to get your loved one.. especially if you're on a budget

It's been 6 months since I got my X-Pro2... I didn't just rush out and get it, I thought long and hard about what it offered that I wanted and actually needed over the X-Pro1.

 

Now that the dust has settled, and the honeymoon finished... Am I still happy?

What a week it's been for new cameras, and not just Fujifilm ones!

 

How fantastic for anyone eagerly awaiting an upgrade.

 

But what about the rest of us?

 

Well, I guess we could take a long walk with our existing gear and enjoy seeing the world and taking pictures?

 

That's what I did... Want to join me?

This week; in the first of a multi part series, I take a look at camera settings, and how to prepare to get what you need out of your camera.

 

A few people have been saying that the X-Pro2 is "too complicated" but it's only as complicated as you want it and ultimately a question of how you approach it!

    • I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.
    • 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.
    • 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.
