I'll start a new thread for this one, as this lens is not just for one Fuji camera, so although (on my site) I've included it as part of my X-Pro2 review, it can of course, be used on all of the X mount cameras!

 

I've long lusted after the XF56 APD

 

The trouble's always been affording one !!

 

So when Fujifilm offered to lend me one for 10 days - I first jumped for joy, then leapt at the opportunity  :)

 

So I've written up a review that's split into 4 parts, with this first one live today!

 

I hope you enjoy...

OK, Sunday morning...

 

And it's time for the concluding part of my XF56 APD review!

 

For the final part I share some of my personal favourite shots from my time with the APD - which are on Flickr for those of you who have requested that, and I  try my best to sum up the AF experience (in a pretty subjective way to be fair)

 

I hope you've found at least a modicum of enjoyment from my review of a lens that's a little off the centre stage!

 

But even if not - I enjoyed shooting with it, and I enjoyed writing about it!

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
