Poll: Are Fuji Users ready to sacrifice some weight benefits and pay for equivalent to FF lenses?

 

some of those would be:

~ 33mm f/1.0   (equivalent in field of view and depth of field to the 50mm f/1.4 on Full Frame) 

~ 56mm f/0.95 (85mm f/1.2)

~ 23mm f/1 (35mm f/1.4)

~ 89mm f/1.4 (135mm f/2)

 

and maybe something Zooms like the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 which is similar to a 24-70 f/2.8

 

or 10-24 f/2.8 (16-35mm f/4)

 

 

edit: Poll would go something like this:

how much would you be willing to pay for it? (for each lens) 

o 900

o 1000

o 1100

o 1200

o 1300

o 1400

o 1500

o >1500

o I don't want it

Patrick your latest poll about which features you would like to see in a last Firmware update.

 

Good poll I have voted.

 

There is a omission from the options though, Manual Video mode.

 

I know that the general view is that none of the Fuji X-Trans are very good at video, but for my needs its  adequate apart from the fact that the exposure jumps as I can't force it into a manual mode. To be honest I don't really want to buy another camera or system to get this as I said my needs are at the moment served by the X-E2 bar that one thing.

 

I would love to see this in the final version of the X-E2 and others might like to have it.

 

I think it should be in poll at least, then we would know whether its important to people.

 

Granted I would need to be able to choose 3 optiosn in the poll as AF and EV working in Manual mode are still prioirty of video for me :)

Patrick, I would be curious to know a bit of demographics about the people of this forum.

 

Obviously not from person to person but anonymously and a general poll, just to understand better the forum.

    • 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. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • 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.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
