particle9 posted:Sorry but how do you film process the raw files? I have the xt2 and would love to know. Thanks. Not sure if it's changed from the X-T1 but you simply use the in-camera raw converter. There's an option to choose a film simulation mode (default is Provia). When you're done, press Q and it'll spew out a JPEG in whatever settings you used.

There are even film simulations available (that you have to download, not included like Lightroom). If I can figure out a way to be as quick with it as I am in Lightroom then I am definitely switching. Where do you get your film sims from? I only found a few and most seem to want you to pay for them.

I found them here: http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/3772-capture-one-pro-9-film-simulations-incl-acros/ He set them up for the X-T1 so you have to view all of the profiles once you put them in whatever folder (it is in the thread, I forget - and you can't import the profiles within Capture One) and look under X-T1 to see the profiles. I don't know enough about the program to figure out how to change it to X-T2 so that I don't have to view all of the profiles to get to them - does anyone know how to do that?

Since we have so many Fuji people here, do you shoot raw, raw+jpg, jpg or raw and convert in camera, and if you change that situationally then when do you shoot what? I shot mostly raw with the x-t1 and the majority of the time I would put shots in Lightroom rather than convert in camera once they put in the film emulations as camera profiles. I am using them all equally now with the X-T2 as I get used to it because I can't get the same look as what I get out of the camera - particularly with Acros. I am considering just shooting jpg for a while for informal shooting to help me get used to the camera. I am having a hard time getting my metering down with it for some reason and I think restricting myself to having to use what I get out of camera would help me with that.

I mainly shoot raw, then either convert in-camera or use Lightroom. SOOC JPEGs are nice but I always feel the need to tweak exposure/contrast/white balance.

RAW+jpg but will in camera process if I want something different most of the time. I really only process RAWs for weddings and challenging lighting situations. Or if I i'm out shooting B&W but later decide I want a bunch of photos in color instead. The camera has 7 custom modes and I use all of them with different tone shifts so I can get most of what I want in camera.

Xabi posted:The Fuji boys aren't happy: Fujirumors has Reddit-level comment idiocy, so I'm not too surprised. I will say that these days, 95% of photos are viewed on a screen, not in print. In fact, doing a SOOC JPG comparison online would have yielded more and better data. Also, I have never, ever printed a photo that I thought was excellent by sending a JPG of that photo straight to a printer. However, give me that printer profile and let me make contrast adjustments to fix the shortcomings of photo printers, and we're in the ballpark. Give me the RAW file and make sure my computer screen is calibrated correctly so I can do color corrections also? Now I'm nailing it. The point I'm trying to make is that if I own $1000+ worth of camera and lens, and I identify a shot of mine I want to print, my next step isn't to say "off to Walgreens". I'm running a 4x6 test print on my Selphy and then placing an order through Adoramapix or Costco, where I have access to color profiles. It would be really, really nice if this weren't necessary, but I don't need or want a $2000 photo printer in my house. Edit: the comparison is made even more dumb when I scan through the video and realize they've printed out 8x10s of the photos, and that the iPhone would have probably placed in top 3 versus every other camera, except that they took an iPhone photo and blew it up to 8x10, magnifying its poor high-ISO performance, and for the only shot the iPhone critically lost, they corrected the white balance in-camera for every other camera except the iPhone. bobfather fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Nov 17, 2016 |

I stopped watching when someone said all the images were shot at the exact same manual exposure. That's a dumb test.

Can't print large at high ISO is a reasonable criticism of the iPhone. However installing an app with manual white balance would have given a more interesting comparison than something dominated by awb. The Fuji looked letdown by the auto exposure being on the dark side.

If I am posting on Instagram, I will typically wirelessly transmit the image to my phone, make some adjustments in Snapseed, and the post it. Although, lately I have been using CaptureOne with the RAWs as a way to improve my post processing skills. I mainly use the RAWs for printed photos and photo books. I backup both the jpg and raw files on Crashplan. I posted this picture while I was waiting for the hummingbird to return: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMuLCQJlZN8/

I shoot Raw+Jpeg as well. There isn't any reason not to. The in camera black and white (acros I think?) ends up great. For color photos I usually have a few things to dial in lightroom. These are from me just walking around with the X-T2 and the kit lens and then doing a white balance and some slight color in lightroom.

There's value in setting the white balance in camera and not necessarily always relying on auto. For example Fuji's fluorescent presets are way, way better than auto and different than Lightroom's fluorescent setting. It helps they give you three to choose from

After start using C1P, I can't go back to jpg for outdoor scenes. There is just so much sky and foilage shadow detail you can get back through RAW.

However installing an app with manual white balance would have given a more interesting comparison than something dominated by awb. For tauting itself as a non-lab, "real world" test it really fails. Who buys an expensive camera and shoots with it out of the box without adjusting exposure? Also I have to wonder if they had all of the cameras in the same metering mode, and even if they did each camera meters differently so it is a really NOT realistic test. It is a great idea but if you don't get each camera on equal footing in terms of exposure it makes no sense in terms of real world results because all it is doing it testing how a camera shoots out of the box if a monkey found and pressed the shutter button vs. real life where we know to turn off face detection so that we can select our preferred metering mode on the X-T2 (isn't face detection set to "on" by default when you get the camera as well? Mine was basically new but technically used so I don't know) and set our EV properly. Also why the gently caress are they using a baby who can't set up the same pose for each camera...the difference in the way the face is positioned will affect metering as well since the light is coming from the side. It was just all really poorly executed. fake edit: I decided to go on a nature walk with my kid today and shoot jpg only to one card, and to only use the 35mm f2 since I use that lens the least. And to only use Acros. It was really fun and I need to do this type of thing more often. It was nice having the raws on one card so that I could convert some to color later but essentially treat it like I was shooting jpg only and try to get it right in camera. I need to do this more often because just in the two hours I was out I got way more comfortable with the camera and the little differences that I am finding in the new body. Acros is the poo poo as well and I can't match that Acros jpg output in Lightroom or Capture One - they really did an awesome job with it and I need to shoot more with it. Also keeping it in b&w in the finder was really cool in terms of composition and it changed the way I shot. rio fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Nov 18, 2016 |

I had around $150 in credit at adorame that was gonna expire soon so I gave into my dark desires and bought Fuji 23mm f/2. I'm not planning on selling my f/1,4 I just thought having a smaller version of my favorite focal length would come in handy. I should not be allowed to buy things online.

I need to be more cognizant of my auto ISO settings while shooting aperture priority on my camera. I like that Fuji lets you customize different auto ISO settings (ISO range, minimum shutter speed) but I need to remember to switch between them when I'm constantly bouncing between my primes. I lost some shots from my most recent trip because the minimum shutter speed was too slow for handheld 90mm, but they were fine for my 23 and 35. On quick review they looked okay, but on my computer I can tell it ended up blurry for shooting at too slow of a shutter speed. If only it could automatically switch auto ISO settings based on the attached lens.

I really like that auto ISO is mapped to the left bumper on the 4 way now. I have all three setup for various focal lengths. It would be hella sweet if they adapted the auto iso based on focal length tho.

I haven't kept up with photography news much in the last 4 months and a quick search yielded nothing. Do we know when the Fuji 80mm 2.8 macro is going to be released? I saw that they had the lens on display for Photokina. Is spring/summer 2017 a good guess?

Serious question for those of you who may have already switched over to Fuji from Canon, Nikon, or a mirrored system. I've been eyeing up the XT's for a while and considering selling my 5DMk2 and switching over to an X-T2, but I'm scared that I'll miss full frame shooting. I have no real reason to be loyal to Canon anymore, aside from my comfort when doing fashion photoshoots for my wife, and I've grown used to the speed that I can work with my 5D. Would I be safe and happy going the Fuji route? (Assuming I can even sell this thing  )My main shooting: Landscape, fashion, portraits, studio and occasionally events but nothing too crazy. ianskate fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Nov 22, 2016 |

ianskate posted:I'm scared that I'll miss full frame shooting. I switched from Canon full-frame DSLRs and can't say that I miss much, especially now with the X-T2. The X-T1's autofocus performance was a downgrade from the 5DIII, but the X-T2 corrects that completely in my experience so far. Dynamic range on Fuji is significantly better (not sure how it stacks up to the 5DIV now), and I find myself shooting a lot more because it's such a compact setup compared to my old 5DIII and full-frame glass. Even being mindful of things like confirmation bias, I can confidently say that I don't regret the switch at all. Are there tradeoffs? Always. Being an older and more developed platform, Canon has more options for very specific shooting scenarios: their flash ecosystem is much better (though Fuji's should improve with the XF-500) and I occasionally miss esoteric options like tilt-shift. For 99% of my shooting though, I adore the X-T2 and find the much smaller setup to more than offset its limitations. Battery life on mirrorless is also like an order of magnitude worse than DSLRs, but I can carry my X-T2, 3 lenses, and 4 batteries in a bag that wouldn't have fit my gripped 5DIII and 70-200/2.8 before. The X-T2's USB charging also proved convenient on my road trip a couple weeks ago since I could just charge it in the car while driving between destinations.

I switched from shooting a 5D to the X-T1, and now the X-T2. I had an original X100 and fell in love with it, so I already knew why I wanted to switch - the external controls. I always missed my knobs and aperture ring from shooting film and I ended up shooting my X100 more than the 5D except when I needed something that was not 35mm equivalent. So I figured switching to an interchangeable lens Fuji would make sense for me and I sold my Canon stuff and bought an X-T1 with the 18-55 and the 35 f2. Next I got the 50-145 2.8, then the 23 1.2 and recently got the Rokinon 8mm 2.8 and I rarely miss my Canon gear now. I do miss the dof occasionally and more often than that I miss the different look that full frame gives (which some consider a myth but I do see it), but the advantages from the Fuji definitely outweigh those 2 things. I was already used to slow autofocus from the X100 so I didn't go to the X-t1 expecting better performance than the 5D. It was certainly better than the X100 but I definitely missed shots that I could have gotten with the Canon. Now that I have the X-T2, though, the performance is as good and sometimes better than my old 5D and I am a happy camper. I think it is important to know why you would like to switch systems, so I also would ask why you want to switch. There are definitely advantages as well as disadvantages - write down both for what you have now and what you expect from Fuji and start there. Also think about what body you would get and what lenses and ask here if you need any advice.
