TFT vs OLED

I noticed that besides the smaller magnification of the EVF in x pro 2 vs x-t2, there is also the matter of the EVF being TFT in x pro 2 and OLED in x-t2. But what is really the difference between the two, quality wise. I assume OLED is the best quality being a newer technology, but am I right to assume that?

The OLED is potentially able to do 100% Adobe RGB but so can other technologies. OLED can can do true Black but if the others can get "black enough" it may not matter.

 

My Samsung S2 tablet (9.7) scores around 98% with sumptuous blacks and it makes my shots look super but the specific calibration is 100% unknown. It is also getting replaced with a new model, hopefully w/o self-ignition and after-burners.

 

Back to reality - the X-Pro2 EVF does look "off" from time to time but I have not had a chance to investigate, the rear screen is spot on though.

So the x pro 2 having tft and xt 2 oled has nothing to do with the quality differences people rave about between the two cameras - besides the larger magnification on xt2?

 

The viewing experience on the T series trumps the Pro series, whether it's TFT or OLED.

 

If you've looked into both, you'd know. It doesn't matter so much whether it's TFT or OLED.

 

Not sure how newer generation OLED stand against time. The burn out issue like oscilik mention is real.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.
