I am not sure if the survey design lets it quite get there, but I strongly believe that the X-E series could very much become a serious branch with a strong position of it's own if it would update alongside the X-T and -Pro from a sensor/processor side, but have no lcd, fewer programmable buttons and no video capability, the larger EVF and go for plain old school photography!!!  I guess I can keep dreaming for such a camera...

Done.

 

I am dissapointed you have not listed the eyecup need - it's really a pain shooting with X-E2 in strong back/side lighting. I found the Fuji eyepiece with no eyrcup attachement one of the worst part of its cams.

Agree. In fact that is the only substantial complaint I have about the X-E2. Any other suggestions I have had are "better this", "faster that" but they are not of the same seriousness. The eyecup situation can result in instances where is becomes nearly impossible to frame and compose a photo - almost like shooting with your eyes shut

I spotted this on the MirrorlessRumors site:

 

"Fuji:

they will finally make a pause on the X camera front :)  Some lenses will be released by end 2017 but we will probably have to wait til 2018 too see new X system cameras."

Could this be true? Will there not be an X-E3? That would be a major disappointment for me as someone who invested with Fujifilm with an X-E1 and then an X-E2.

I suppose they go by “ You can’t please everyone all the time , only someone sometimes”, you have cameras and the shoot the same quality pictures that they could shoot when you bought them, nothing else has changed aside from the color of the grass of your neighbor.

Milandro, don't undermine our econony system with wrong facts. It is a well known fact derived from Moore's law that the linear resolution of a given camera decreases by about 30% per 18 months (pixelcount goes down by 50%). AF speed drops in a similar way. So definitely, you cannot shoot with an older camera in the same way you did one or two years ago. You simply have to buy the newest equipment as soon as it is released. You can improve your image quality significantly by placing preorders...

Or do I misinterpret Moore's law?

You are right.  :)  we certainly don’t want to undermine the fundaments of capitalism! You are what you eat (or buy) after all. 

 

Emo ergo sum ( I buy therefore I exist).

 

 

Ahem!  ^_^

 

When I was still teaching one of the favorite assignments was to ask people to chose to shoot an entire reportage with a box camera ( Agfa click or clack preferred).

 

Then evaluate the photographic eye beyond the camera.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      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

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.
