Have you guys noticed that the X-T2 eye cup (the default one), is quite a dust magnet? It seems like the tradeoff is between the pliability of the rubber, and how much dust sticks to it. In particular, this means that when the climate gets hot and humid, the rubber gets more dust-philic. Does anyone use an alternative, or do anything to the rubber (for eg., apply some passivating coating) to reduce this problem?

All rubber eyecups are (and have always been I have a number of vintage ones which are just slightly better), its the nature of the beast.

 

Just clean it or live with it. Some aftermarket adaptation could be slightly better too, but aside being an annoyance to my obsessive compulsive cleaning it is something that one can live with

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      Wow Jerry, Simply Wow and thanks: I switched off camera. Connected Cam to Mac with USB-C Switched on cam Looked at system report which said Camera PTP Then opened up Image Capture (I never even knew IC was still on the latest macOS) and the files on the GFX showed up. Then opened up LR and FINALLY GFX images showed.   Interestingly like all the cameras - You don't get to navigate to the /DCIM folder - but that's no big deal. *** But for the exercise I tried this on my Intel MacBook Pro running Monterey - but no luck there with the above steps (No big deal). I hav Eno idea how this even started to work - Is it the process of Looking at Sys Report or Just the fact that I opened it on Image Capture   OR that I Connected first THEN Switched on the camera.  What actually made it work? The Irony is I don't think Fuji Support in Aust have any idea about this as they have been stumped over this for the last few months.   Thanks Again  - truly appreciated!! John

      Time Code Synch

      FYI Update - I just learned that the Zoom F6 & F3 recorder/mixers also synch to the UltraSynch Blue over bluetooth. I am planning to record 32bit float on the F6 and it will have frame accurate matching time-code with my two-XH2S' and one XH2.

      Hopefully these will help some. For quite a while now Apple has put stuff into their operating system so that you cannot yourself open the connected camera’s card and see the images, you have to use their or third party software to do that.
