I get conflicting info online. I am trying to figure out whether the hole for the EVF/OVF is bigger on the xpro2 vs xpro1. Some say 16mm vs 14mm. Which is it?

 

Also, some claim the magnification is larger on the xpro2 vs xpro1, and then some spec lists claim that it is actually smaller. Which is it?

 

My only local camera store closed last year so I have no way of finding out for my self unless I order online.

 

Thanks.

16mm is the eye relief distance not size.

 

Whether it's 14mm or 16mm, it just means that your eye should be at that fixed distance away from the vf to be able to see the full vf. It only matters if you wear spectacle.

Ahh, now I get it. Thanks. So it has nothing to do with the size of the hole you look through.

 

Can anyone who owns or have had both cameras tell me whether the hole you look through is bigger or smaller on the xpro2? On pictures with the cameras side by side it actually looks smaller. I hope not.

Top : Pro2

Bottom : Pro1

 

Honestly, in real day to day use, there is virtually no difference.

Awesome. Thanks. Helps a lot. Seems like the hole is actually smaller on the x pro 2. Weird. If you say there is no real issues in real life use, that sounds great.

 

I see you have the same issue as me with the rubber being a dirt, dust magnet :-) Really difficult to clean.

Normally it's cleaner. I yanked both cameras out of my bag to take this snapshot to be uploaded. I was in the middle of a week long assignment.

 

I use a lint free or lens cloth lightly damped with some warm water and they're good. Otherwise the occasional light air vacuum/soft paint brush keeps it clean enough. Try not to rub too much as that'll only make things worse.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.
