Hello,

I've amassed a collection of snaps from by X-E3 that I would like to print.  I'm getting slightly scuppered by frame sizes.  They are in 3:2 ration - however does this mean that i will be able to fit into a frame of this ratio  (e.g. 6inch by 9 inch) with no danger of the edges of the photo showing?  Or, is there an art to either cropping it, or getting a slightly smaller frame?

 

Secondly:  Shooting with the X-E3, with 4000 x 6000 resolution - what's the largest I can reasonably expect to print to?  My penchant is for landscapes, and viewing will generally be from 2+ metres away.


Thank you

Rob

May I ask if you are printing the images yourself or sending them to a printers?

Are you displaying in frames/on boards with no surround or other?

Will you be printing the whole frame or are you planning to crop regularly?

More questions than answers, but bear with me;)

I've printed up to 30 x 20 from a 6mp file way back in 2005.  With the 24mp files, you can easily do 30 x 20 and larger!  I've seen 40 x 30 and bigger at a Fuji show in NYC.  Of course, we photographers tend to pixel peep.  So if you stand back 3-4 feet the image, assuming you used proper shot discipline, will be amazing.  At home I print 13 x 19 weekly but yeah you can go pretty large.

Hello all,

 

Thank you very much for your answers, and I apologise for the long period of silence from me!  I had an issue with getting alerts to tell me that a reply had been left...

 

In reply to Sharkey4711

I will be sending them to a printer.  I have been using Snapfish (I am in the UK).  They have been a decent price, and the quality has been fine for standard/ small prints. 

Question - any recommendations for a decent printer for larger prints?

 

I will be displaying in frames - likely with a mount.

 

Regarding whole frame / cropping - likely will depend on how my photo looks!  Assume more than likely that I will not be cropping.

 

Thank you all for your help,

 

Rob

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?

      In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By mcewena · Posted

      I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
