Hi, firstly im in love with my camera , the images that I get are so good that it has sparked up my passion for photography. I was wondering if there was any way of controlling this without having to use the iso dial? If not its not a problem I will get used to it. Also i am debating selling my 5d's to fund getting more lenses for the fuji as currently i have the 35mm 1.4 and the 18mm f2 , i was considering  getting the 16mm 1.4 and also the 23 1.4, and using this setup for professional use. The only reason I wouldn't do this is simply peoples reaction to pro with a small camera... does anyone have any experience with this,, go check out my instagram to see how I use the fuji ,, thanks!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Fujifilm. At the moment it's just the dial that controls ISO. At first I found it a little uncomfortable to use however after a few months of use I now really like it and now don't have to take the camera away from my eye to change ISO. It's probably not as quick as a button push followed by few clicks of another button but it's not far off.

The ISO dial is the only way to control the ISO settings. I think you will like it once you get used to it. I also came from the Canon side and it did take a little time to adjust to using the physical controls compared to the button/dial driven format of the canons, but not I greatly prefer it. I begin to adjust the settings as i am approaching the subject. You can easily look down at the camera and set ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture with the camera off. If you need to make a quick adjustment while shooting or holding the camera to your face, it is easy enough to lift and adjust the ISO dial and see the settings change in the viewfinder. 

 

I checked out you instagram. I like your work. I have not had any one comment on the camera gear, but I don't regularly do professional shoots right now. The only thing I have noticed is that people seem to be a little more relaxed which is a benefit. I am in the process of selling the remaining Canon gear, just two lenses left. If I end up getting back into shooting professionally, I will be all in with Fujifilm.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      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...
