So is it pressing the shutter button that causes the vibration? Because if it's the shutter itself, I don't see how changing when it fires is going to change anything.

Its the shock from the shutter closing, since it was open when you press the button. This adds a small pause after the shutter closes and before the shutter opens to take the picture. Its also why it works great for an inervalameter, since it effectively turns off the live view.

I thought it's that at certain shutter speeds a vibration travels through the body of the camera when the shutter clamps down?

Just got my Fuji X-E1 and Im blown away by it and thats just from playing around with the menus and trying out what it does around the house. Going to head outdoors in a mo to have a more considered go with it. Also a tad off topic, but I picked up a EyeFi SD card and its like living in the future- photos sent straight to my phone, ipad and PC! Little fiddly to set up as the instructions werent overly clear, but its a great little piece of tech.

Play around with the highlight, shadow settings and the DR/NR settings. You can fine tune the jpg setting to your pref and it really does pay off to experiment with it.

Went and bought the 35mm 1.4 for my xe1 today. Can't wait to go and shoot some pics tonight. It is a beautiful lens but whoever designed that hood cap needs to get fired. edit: holy poo poo this lens, can't believe how sharp and nice the pictures I take with it are

Do you just adjust the regular settings from the q menu, or also dive deep in the whitebalance options?

A long shot maybe, but has anybody here adapted any fixed-lens rangefinder lens on a mirrorless? I have a Yashica Electro 35 lens I brutally extracted out of it since the electricals were all history, so now i'm thinking in how to mount it on the nex.

I'm considering getting an Olympus E-PM2 as my first ICL camera. They have the body and a 14-42mm Lens on amazon for $400. Any other suggestions for around the same budget? Also, should I buy a different 14-42 lens?

Has anyone got the new Fuji 23mm f1.4 lens? I got to try it for a couple minutes at the store and it seemed to AF faster than the other fuji lenses. The build quality was excellent as well, felt really solid and perfectly balanced.

The build quality was excellent as well, felt really solid and perfectly balanced. I also tried one in-store on my X-Pro. It's a great lens for that system and a pretty sharp lens overall. It's not Summicron-sharp, but it's also 1/3 the price. One review I saw out there put it in the same league as the Sigma 35/1.4. One thing I was surprised at was usability at 1.4... it's very sharp in the centre. On a semi-related note: I am getting an itch for an A7R and bailing on my X-Pro. The reason is simply that I've got an M-240 and a few M lenses. I love that system. While I can't use the full FOV of my M lenses on the Fuji, I can make use of them on the A7R... The other cool thing is that lenses which were unusable on the Leica are usable on the A7R, like a bunch of the ZM lenses that focus down to 0.5m instead of the Leica 0.7m.

SoundMonkey posted:--someone who is about to learn the hard way the kind of precision you need with flange back distances I've already made a P6 to C/Y adapter at home with pieces of an old lens and a machined steel cilinder that works fairly well, so I know what kind of mess i'm getting into. It's just a bit different since this lens was originally attached to the camera instead of having a bayonet and i'm having to think about all the "fix helicoid here, let this part move, this one shouldn't" stuff...

I mentioned earlier in the thread about a busted up Fuji X100 that I acquired. It had a few bumps and scrapes that didn't bother me, but it was stuck at f2 and wouldn't focus properly either. Well I finally got around to sending it in to Fuji UK Wednesday last week. I told them the problem, and explained that I'd bought it used. Friday morning they email me with a quote 'to just make it work properly', saying the cosmetic damage would cost a lot more, but they can do that too if I want. I send them the GB£90 or so incl VAT & Postage to get it working, and get an email Monday morning saying it's fixed and on it's way back to me! I'm absolutely made up, thumbs up Fuji UK. e: Tuesday Morning it arrives! Woohoo MeKeV fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Nov 19, 2013 |

Excellent build. Fast focus indeed (I heard the 14mm is the fastest on the x-e2?). Also it's a bit too heavy and large for my X-E1, even without hood. But very manageable when you hold it properly. All in all great performer, especially from 2.8 and up. Only wish it was the size of the 14mm

I know the XF-23 is the new hotness but did anyone pick up the 27mm pancake? As I understand it the 27 is somehow considerably sharper than the 60mm center to edge and every once in a while I need that. Also, the XC-16-50 is worth avoiding. A friend of mine wanted a camera for his European vacation and an X-M1 with kit lens was about what he wanted to spend. The X-M1 died on him about a week in (verified dead- I swapped batteries, pulled the card, removed the lens with the camera switched "on") and we used my card reader to pull his photos. At some focal lengths it was great and looked like an X camera but there were a lot with awful, blurry corners.

keyframe posted:Does the front extend when focusing like with the 35mm? No it does not.Have you ever handled the 14mm? It's exactly like that, but fatter. It also has a tighter aperture ring than the 35 and 14mm. Although you can't feel the difference between full and 1/3 stops. Like Bob Socko says: The ring does have hard stops, which is great because even though it's focus by wire, it's more mechanical that way. In contrast to the 35mm where your speed determines the focus. All in all I would say the 23 is excellent quality, yet the 35 is more bang for your buck.

Size wise it's fantastic, makes your camera very small. Just like the x100, it makes it a pocketable camera. But the colors didn't have that "fuji magic feel" to me. I can't explain it. So I sold it. For B&W and street it's fantastic. ChirreD fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Nov 19, 2013 |

Was looking into the sigma 30mm 2.8 for a NEX. There is the older "EX" version which from what I have seen some reviewers claim is better than the newer version. Anyone have any experience with either of them?

Anyone have any experience with either of them? I have the new one, albeit for the M4/3 mount. From what I've read, they're optically identical, the only differences are an upgraded exterior (the new version is made of metal) and a new branding (the new version is part of the "art" line of lenses).

the Sigma 30mm 2.8 is a great lens for the NEX, i've got the pre "art" version also. If you're in the US, try looking around for that deal that gives you the 19mm and the 30mm for the price of one!
