I'm looking to buy the new 90mm, but I would like to see some RAW samples of the sharpness and the bokeh, if youäve got an XE1 that would be even better! Anybody want to provide a couple of untouched sample pics? Just shoot a wall or whatever, I just want to see the sharpness mostly :)

Thanks!

Hi,

 

not RAW, but unretouched straight out-of-camera JPEGs from an X-E1:

All hand-held, but I used high shutter speeds so as to prevent any shake-induced blur.

 

1) First, one admittedly very boring shot of the gravel on a footbridge at f/4, just to show how SHARP this thing is!

'Astia' film simulation, DR = 100

2) Then, a 'torture test' for CA: wide open, and backlit against an almost (but not quite) blown-out sky. Impressive control of all chromatic aberrations, and razor-sharp plane of focus.

'Astia' film simulation, DR = 200

3) A 'bokeh' shot at f/2. Quite neutral and pleasant, IMO.

4) Lastly, an indoor shot wide open at ISO 6400. Coming from film, I still find getting such high-quality and 'film-like' results at such high ISOs amazing...

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
