A quick hello. I've had a X100S for a while but I have been using full frame Nikons for my hobby, mainly landscape family, travel and motorcycling related and strictly amateur/fun.

 

I've kept my D700 that is a loyal friend as well as my 24-70 2.8 and 23, 35 and 50 primes as well as my Tokina 100Macro. All my other gear has been replaced by an X-T2 with 18-55 kit lens, 16mm, 10-24 and 55-200.

 

I'm so pleased with the X-T2 that I've bought a mint X-T1 as a cheap backup and I've just upgraded the S to an F! I've a 2nd hand adapter to try the Tokina out on the X-T2.

 

So now my gear outnumbers my talents.

Welcome Peter, don't worry your talents have time to increase whilst any digital technology of today, stays relatively static, until the next 'greatest and best model' - hopefully our talents grow in between all these frequent changes of equipment.

 

I have a X-T2 and GFX 50S, they are both superb cameras, that still take some bad or shaky photos - because of me! I haven't been with Fuji since my film days,

Peter, happy to hear about your foray into the Fuji world. Sounds like you have some great equipment! I have the XT-2 and the 18-55, 10-24, 35, and 55-200 lenses. Are you still shooting with your Nikon or primarily with Fuji now?

 

We had a lovely (quick 3 day) trip to the Lake District this summer and the weather cooperated beautifully. 

 

Hope you to continue to enjoy your Fuji gear!

When the weather joins in it's quite stunning here. It can be stunning in all weather but you need to get used to it and wear the right clothing :)

 

Yes I'm only using my Fuji gear. I can't bring myself to sell my D700 as it's in lovely condition, has a fairly low shutter count and isn't worth a huge amount.

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
