Need some help here. New to Fuji. I have some experience with Cameras. Not a lot but some. I had a Canon t4i and a Panasonic G5. I really liked both. Sold the Canon and working on selling the G5. I have been doing quite a bit of research and really like the Fuji colors and also most of the pictures I have seen. My questions are? How hard is it to learn the Fuji system? The Menus? I read somewhere that the Fuji xt! is difficult to learn for someone who has little knowledge about Fuji. I can get either for about the same price.  I shoot everything. When I take my Camera with me. If I see something that catches my eye I take a picture. So I really dont shoot just one thing. Just depends on where Im at. Which would you buy? Thanks for any response. Im also in the US if that matters.

I came from Nikon and have not found the menu too difficult.  The manual dials and methods in the Fuji keeps you out of the menus.  Everything I need is in the Quick menu. Mostly I change the film simulation, I like to see B&W in the viewfinder, but shoot Raw+Fine.  I get better composition that way.  Also use the timer for long exposure.  Other things like face detection and image shape/size are assigned to other buttons.  Sometimes I want square format and face detection quickly.

 

If you shoot frequently then you will nail down the menus quite fast and, like I said above, the Fuji dials keeps you out of the menu anyway.

 

My X-T1 is almost always in Aperture priority with minimum shutter at 1/100 and maximum ISO at 6400.  B&W film simulation to get monochrome EVF and focus on manual, but using back-button with blue focus assist.  That covers most every situation no matter what lens is on or how the light is coming in. Put it to my eye, use the D-pad to select focus point, hit the AF back-button and use the blue outline to be sure I got what I want and pull the trigger.  Super fast and always right.

 

Menu?  What menu?  LOL

I'm a long time Canon user and recently picked up the X-T10. Prior to purchasing, I had the Sony A6000. I can tell you that it was very easy to learn and one thing I appreciated most was the simplified menu system of Fuji compared to Sony. Most of all, I really enjoy shooting with this camera. The retro look, all the dials...I'm really enjoying it. Not to mention the awesome colors it produces. 

 

As far as why I went w/ the X-T10 vs T1, this is more of a leisure/back up camera for me and from everything I read, the X-T10 is pretty much identical without weather sealing and perhaps smaller. But I personally don't think you can go wrong either way.

I was 30 years with Nikon and shifted to XT-1, menus are very clear. Its like the old saying, once you know a system it is easy. But I hardly use the menus at all, everything that is important is on top [emoji23]

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
