Continuing (and finishing I think) the theme of 'the X-Pro1 "look" from the X-Pro2'

 

It would be slightly remiss of me not to try this with the SOOC Jpeg output.

 

I'm not much of a SOOC Jpeg shooter, and the tools to change SOOC Jpegs are limited compared to RAW.

 

How did I get on?

A story of snaps and dodging rain drops this week!

 

After all those articles about getting the "X-Pro1 look" from the X-Pro2, I thought it was time to hit the streets with the original X-Pro, and to make life a little more interesting, I only took the XF56 with me!

 

I hope you enjoy the article

The X-Pro2 and Something Old Something New: A chance encounter with an ancient pathway

 

This week's article is a story about  the magic of finding a new place to photograph.

 

Turns out that not having a lot of time or the correct weather can make for the right photographical environment!

This Sunday's article, well.... THIS ISN’T A TEST IT’S A BIT OF FUN

 

Lunchtime Legends: A Bit of Fun with the X-Pro1 and Leica M9

 

So two cameras... Quite frankly both a bit long in the tooth these days... yet each has quite a cult following, based largely on the look and feel of the images.

 

We can't really directly compare these cameras, (that would be like comparing two different cult movies) but we can take each out and see what pictures they come back with.

Goodness me, Sunday already... I haven't stopped this week!
 
Images Compared: A Bit of Fun with the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2
 
Two X-Pro cameras, one lens, one image editor, and light so scary, tough and hard, that I wanted to hide my cash in my sock :-)
 
But just how different did the images turn out?

The X-Pro2 and Monochrome Options
 
Ted Grant famously said:
 
“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”
 
But what about YOUR soul, how do you want your photograph to turn out?

This week's article is all about my involvement with a Portuguese cycling culture project.
 
It's a ground up concept that I'm proud to have been involved with from the start.
 
It's waaay out of my usual comfort zone, so I thought you'd like to see how I got on...

Oh and I'm taking my first vacation in 6 years, so no articles next week :-)

    • 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...
