Hi

I searched the forum and didn't find any help re Auto ISO .

Coming from Nikon background - I find it very disappointing - that Auto ISO behaves a very strange way to me.

 

Ok - in my Nikon days - it was simple as that: set Iso to Auto - specify low/max iso and shutter speed and you're done. Thats it. Nothing more. Than - you would be shown - what Iso is chosen by auto .

 

not the case with xt2!

Its continually annoys me - showing me my max iso chosen in auto setting - but why?!

I need to know before I shoot - what iso i range I'm in/what to expect.

I know I would see this info after I half press the shutter button - but its stupid - after I half press - its often too late for me to think - its shooting time!

 

More: if I set time dial to "T" - it will somehow override AutoIso - but it should change iso - according to my settings for auto - and it should change iso (id I should be able to see it) but it doesn't.

 

Id say - its stupid algorithm , and I shoot in manual instead.

 

and I say - it should work - with different lenses - given their length, but I guess its not?

 

Can anyone - try to explain - how to use it? , ar share opinions - if you ever use Auto?

 

thanks

As for stupidity I’d say it is a choice and like many choices some will like them and some won’t. You don’t. Most probably the majority does or otherwise it won’t be like this.

 

No, I don’t use it, I like to think that I am using film and behave as I have always done for years and years.

 

Chose the ISO for the situation ( and hope for certain results) and then go on until I no longer find it convenient.

      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

      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.
