Hi Guys!

I'm fairly new to the fuji ecosystem (i only had the x100F), i desided because the pricedrops it's time for buying the X-T2 because of the weather sealing and a few awsome lenses. I came across a good looking used one, and i bought it. When i got home, nice silent environment, i noticed a smal clunking feel when i tilted the camera up and down (body only, without battery) or shaking it gently forward and backward from the EVF area. Is this somthing i should worry about? Or this could happend if i bough it new? Anyone noticed something like that?

I'm strating to regret not saving for a new X-T3...

Thanks for you responds!

When you say "body only", do you mean with no lens attached ? Or just without the battery ? Sorry for asking such a seemingly stupid question but sometimes there are language differences and misunderstandings. I mean, if you have a lens attached that would be just normal to hear a sound.

Yes, just the body no lens attached.

My friend, I have what I hope is good news for you. I took the lens off and the battery out of my brand new X-T2. I switched off the music. Here I am, shaking the camera mildly back and forth, I am pressing on the tilt screen while doing it to make sure that the tilt screen is fixed. I can definitely hear a mild clunking noise and feel something moving inside the camera. Whatever it is, I am sure it is not a fault and I think you can rest assured that it is normal. Perhaps the shutter assembly is dampened against vibrations or something like that. The noise is quiet but easily heard and distinct. I would say that is nothing to worry about. It is a fantastic camera, relax and enjoy. You need not have any regrets, unless you are a sports shooter or something like that. The X-T3 is faster but the IQ is the same.

Thank you for reassurance! Then i just got to get used to it :) Thank you again for trying it out on yours!

    • Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don  
    • Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side! 
    • I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !
    • First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
