The fisheye has massive limitations - it can make things look weird, especially if there are lots of straight lines involved and you point the lens straight at it. I sold my previous fisheye because I got bored with the bendy-lines effect very quickly, but I've since bought another and I think I'm beginning to work out how to use it790ba80e8af1708cdde6c48fb030c666.jpg70fddc6a16007d36049a5f74ecf08f3f.jpg0db553c8784ba1eb6cc7ae80192b6bd8.jpgcba0d57cdb24290c3c47557d1d4c78f3.jpg

I think the fisheye has its place - but it has to be used very carefully. If you use it in a room, or anywhere with lots of straight lines, it makes them bendy and weird - especially if the lens is tilted up or down. But for images where you want to emphasise a really powerful and dynamic relationship between a strong subject and the background context, a fisheye can be great. A lot of action sports photographers use them extensively

Sure, Warwick. It is a nice lens indeed. But I think a lens you'd get as... third? Or fourth? Not surely even as a second lens. And most important, for me, I'd never try to correct its rounded lines. It's a very personal thought, but why to get a lens like that if one wants to correct the distortion? It's like buying a convertible pretending to build a roof on it.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
