I a​Iways have an issue with how much dust I get on my viewfinder. It seems very dust prone. I barely want to have the camera with a neckstrap because I have to clean the dust from my viewfinder everytime after usage. Anyone have the same experience and perhaps a solution?

Is that with the glas on the viewfinder or the rubber around it? I haven't used the camera outside yet, so haven't had an issue with dust on the glas, but the rubber is like a dust magnet. I may try to clean it with some rubber safe anti-static solution. Another option is to try some tirth party peace. It might be less dust prone if made from different material . So quite a lot offerings on eBay the other day.

I assume that you are talking of the viewfinder “ well” and rubber eyecup?

 

Yes, a bit dusty, I blow it clean and use a brush every now and again when it  bothers me. There is no way to prevent the dust to collect there. The problem is not, only, the fact that rubber might be statically charged.

 

The rubber eyecup is naturally proclive to do this because of the fact that it is soft enough for the dust particles to adhere to it, and the viewfinder well, a receptacle for dust to fall in, where would it go on its own if you don’t remove it? It would naturally stay there.

I too have glasses and have the long eyecup.

 

The long eyecup is of course intended to be used without glasses and adhere to the eyeball as much as possible  ( the camera has, after all a dioptric correction) but can be used very easily with spectacles too.

 

The long eyecup of the X-T1 is only marginally longer than the one of the X-T2 though

      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

      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

      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.
