It's very difficult to post photos here, considering it's a photography forum.

I realize this is mostly a forum for talking about equipment, but considering that (ideally) most of us are photographers who take photos with our Fuji gear, I feel like it's a problem that posting photos on this forum is cumbersome and limited. Limiting us to 1MB of photos per post? A complex multi-step process to load photos to a post? 

 

Shouldn't we be able to post whole photo series to share our successes and frustrations that make us love the system (or make us want to ask for change, or assistance)

I think you're underestimating how much infrastructure is required in order to serve a photo repository to a bunch of photography forum nerds!

 

This whole website likely sits on a server with less than a few gigabytes of space available to it. Also, the software that this forum runs on is not specifically catered to photography - it's a generic forum software called IPBoard, which is used by many online forums.

 

It's much better to leave the hosting of images down to third parties such as Instagram or Flickr.

 

If you upload your photos to Flickr, you can click the share icon and then choose the BBCode section to copy the appropriate code to paste into a thread here. Alternatively you can host your images on somewhere like Imgur and get the BBCode in order to paste.

I find very easy to post pictures here. I’ve posted many and find it much easier than many other places. I simply resize them to 1250 px. wide 

 

Note there is no limit to the amount of pictures in as many posts as you want.

 

If you find it difficult just simply reference it to an outside place ( Flickr or something like that) and people will see them in all their weight and splendor.

There are other Fuji-X forums better suited for photo sharing. At least with much more activity. Worth taking a look there as well [emoji4]

Could you point me in their direction? I've found two others but they haven't had any posts in weeks.

      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.
