Hi all,   I got into the Fuji system after using a Micro-Four Thirds system for a while. For portraits, the sharpness, skin tone rendering and level of detail is incredible, certainly when adding fl

Tom i think you have a front focus problem, all your shots are wonderful but focus is off on all of them, like with the second shot her shoulder is sharp but not her eyes, unless it's done on purpose? anyways nice shots still :)

Not really, but I did miss focus ever so slightly on two of them. F1.2 or thereabouts will do that for you, shooting handheld and natural light only at minimum focus distance on an overcast day in a dark room. Also, jpeg compression doesn't help. Full res versions are mostly crazy sharp. I tend not to sharpen that much, most pics nowadays are way oversharpened, and then people complain and say they look "digital" ;)

 

I don't care if one or two are not as sharp, as long as it's acceptable. I shoot film half the time, so I can live without crazy sharpness anyway.

 

And thanks :) :)

Ok, sorry about that! :)

 

I was saying to Dalibor that I have only one objection. I think that it would be better if there was a bit more room on the right side, i.e. on her left side, to where she is looking.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
