Regarding the X-Pro, by far the biggest problem for me is the weak AF by less contrast subjects and low light conditions. I would appreciate if FujiFilm would provide again an AF firmware update for the X-Pro. Faster is not really necessary, but an AF that works better in less favorable light conditions. Especially now it seems to takes a longer time before there will be a successor!

It's a PRO, Fuji!!

Personally, I think the X-Pro1's AF is quite good. I've used the X-T1 professionally for a year, and also have an X100T so I'm familiar with the state of the art cameras, but the difference isn't all the internet forums might have you believe. I feel the real differences that affect me are the lack of "Preview exposure plus WB" (X-Pro1 just previews exposure) and the poor focus peaking in low light. In fact, the low light focus peaking is similar to the X100T upon release, before it was improved by FW update.

 

I think that when Fuji released the FW3.40 upgrade they only included some aspects of the release that went to the more modern cameras not because they wanted to differentiate the newer models, but because the processors of the older cameras just wouldn't be able to handle some of the changes. This doesn't explain why things such as classic chrome weren't included, but I can readily believe that things such as preview exposure plus WB may have been too much for the camera to handle without affecting screen refresh rate etc.

      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.

      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

      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.
