I've been trying to get my X-T2 with attached battery grip and mounted lens (32mm) into my Tenba DNA-13, but's been a challenge. To get the camera to fit I have to remove the lens and use the body cap. I really love this bag for travel because I can carry it on the plane and have my camera stuff, 13" MBP and iPAD. I'm sure it can be done, but I just haven't figured it out yet.

 

Does anyone else have a challenge of carrying a camera with battery grip and lens in a messenger bag?

This is exactly my problem. I want a quality bag that will hold the X-T2 with the power booster grip and 18-55. I also want to carry another lens like the 55-200 and maybe a smaller prime. I'm not too concerned about a laptop, though up to a 13" would be a nice feature. It's difficult to find recommendation for the gripped X-T2. I don't want anything so large that it will be a pain to carry all day while traveling. I've looked at Think Tank Urban Disguise and Tenba DNA bags, but have not found one that works for me yet. Anyone find a solution that works for them?

Have any of you guys checked out the Think Tank Citywalker 10, or 20?  Or the Retrospective 5, or 7 series?  I own the Citywalker 30 which is very large bag especially for mirrorless, but I will say it holds up to a 15" MBP.  I did it two part review on my blog if anyone is interested in it.  You can go to my blog in my signature.  Please note I get no monetary gain from TT, or from any advertising so I just put it out there as information.

Good Luck

      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.

      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.
