Oh I love the stuff they have at Peak Design, I am heavily considering getting their new Kickstarter for that new bag, it looks really well done.

 

Plus, it's less noticeable by thieves than my Billingham, which is a much welcomed thing if I have to travel with more gears.

I've got lots of their stuff! Each item is so well designed, it's unbelievable. I didn't hesitate to back their latest kickstarter. Seems like the perfect bag :-)

That one of my issues, every single camera bag I got seemed like the perfect bag and then after a while the magic goes away and you really notice the issues with that belt, that shoulder strap or the inner spacing...

 

I got a full cupboard filled with empty camera bags that might no longer see the light of day. The only one that is on regular usage is my Billingham 305, but that was before I jumped to Fuji, now that bag is way too large for what I have. 

I can put all my Fuji and Nikon 1 gear inside, including shoulder straps chargers, SB600 with at least a backup battery for everything and still have room for a 13" laptop and an extra smaller carry on bag.

is that 23mm on the top of 56mm? if it is.. what hood you use? looks interesting to save some space

I have something similar- just a generic metal screw-in hood- for my 23 and 56.  I basically just leave them on all the time and bought caps to fit on the front of the hood.  It's way more compact compared to the stock ones and faster on the draw.

Doesn't the shape of the hood influence the image quality?

The original purpose of a lenshood is to block the flare from any source of light.

 

But if your lenshood is not on the right angle, you could be getting an unwanted vignetting effect becase its edges come into the view. 

 

That aside, it won't really be an issue.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
