Me want. I still love my x100 so much, but wish that cropped portraits were a bit higher resolution.

Pablo Bluth posted:So Fuji UK are now offering a free 27mm, 35mm or 60mm lens if you buy an X-Pro1 and 18mm before the end of Jan. A surfeit of 18s and clearing out the bodies before the launch of the Pro2? Any online stores offering this? link? :-)

Is anyone else interested in the new GM1? With the lens it's 275 grams which is crazy small, and it has their latest/greatest sensor. The example shots on dpreview look excellent.

Apparently the DOF equivalents puts the RX100 shallower on the wide end, but then the GM1 shallower at the long end (handy for portraits). The big thing I am seeing is that the sensor looks amazing, and when not needing a tiny walk around lens, one could get a travel zoom or something super long to pop on when on vacations, something not possible on the RX100. Plus 20mm 1.7 would own. poopinmymouth fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Nov 5, 2013 |

Max 1/50 Sync speed with flash. How the hell? Isn't it electronic shutter?

also I was just totally forgetting it has no hotshoe, how would one sync with an external flash? Optical slave is lame cause I don't want that flash polluting the lighting of the scene. I bet there is some kind of solution by now with all the off camera flash hobbyists. I am thinking of finally selling my 5D and lenses to finance a purchase. I only ever use my x100, save when doing portraits (most often with off camera flash) or when on vacation when I want some more lens flexibility.

I am not new to off camera flash work, but a raw bulb trying to expose for the necessarily darker scene settings of shooting with external flash (ie, way too dark for the room according to the camera's metering) it is going to try to pump the on board flash as high as it can. A diffuser or IR gel is most likely the way to go.

Dren posted:Depending on the camera you can shoot in M and dial your flash power/compensation way way down. The on board flash won't show up much except for specular highlights. Still, it's less than ideal. Yeah, agreed, but I have gotten so used to having the light weight and small package of the X100, anything bigger seems like a chore I know I'll rarely leave the house with. I will probably just wait longer to upgrade, as my current stuff is fine. I just have a trip coming up to Tasmania, and while I know the X100 will be great for landscapes, I would love to photograph some of the wildlife as well.

keyframe posted:Hey what camera bag do you guys use for your x100s/xe-1/xpro1 or similar sized cameras. I want something that doesn't look like an rear end like those lowepro bags and preferably doesn't scream that it is a camera bag. I'm with the strap guy. Putting the x100 in a bag ruins the always ready experience. The thing is so light you'll never notice it even in an all day trip, and with the leather case, you don't have to worry about it knocking against stuff or rain or anything. I use a lightweight thin fabric strap that was not only cheap, but balls up to nothing when I do shove my x100 in my carryon luggage or whatever. Hated that a leather strap took up as much volume as the camera since it does not compress up easily.

Fart Car '97 posted:Anyone who buys an X100/X-Pro/X-T1 because they think the control dials make controlling it easier than any Prosumer/Pro DSLR is an idiot. I could adjust almost anything on my 5D extremely fast without having to remove my eye from the viewfinder or my finger from the shutter button. People are dumb and will come up with whatever excuse necessary to justify purchasing the newest piece of gear, Fujifilm cameras are no exception. And yet, this 5D owner finds the physical dials on his X100 infinitely more enjoyable and user friendly. You can't march in with such an aggressive opinion about something so subjective. I happen to like never needing to do anything with a button or menu unless I am reviewing images, or formatting a card. For example changing ISO on the 5D original was ridiculously complicated. I also prefer non-contextual controls. The exp comp dial is *always* the exp comp dial, unlike the front wheel on the canon. I find the X100 infinitely more simple, allowing me to focus on photography instead of fiddling with camera doohickies.

So So So want that new 50mm converter for the X100. Hoping they also release a firmware for the original x100, but should work alright in RAW with EVF either way.

AIIAZNSK8ER posted:Have you tried the wide teleconverter? Nope, mostly because I rarely like shooting wider than 35, and I have a 28mm for my 5D. If I end up getting the 50mm converter, I will seriously think about selling my 5D, so I would probably then get the 28mm for those few times I want wider. I have seen the samples shot with the 28mm and they look great.

Malcolm XML posted:Apparently the $1800 leica t standard zoom needs a shitload of software corrections so you don't even get exceptional glass. I made the mistake of commenting on the Steve Huff post about this, and then got like 5,000 emails within an hour because it subscribed me. (people care a lot about defending Leica apparently) People who argue the T lenses are worth the price, allude to M lenses and their high resale value and great optics. The problem is that I feel they are connected, I don't want to buy an M lens, but I understand the awesome glass design is part of why they are expensive (along with the red dot of course). If a lens has horrible optical design (and that is some crazy distortion on the zoom, like 18-350mm Tamron level poo poo) it cannot justify a high price because all it has is the red dot. poopinmymouth fucked around with this message at 11:28 on May 5, 2014 |

I am going to pick up the TCL-x100 finally for my x100 which I'm still using nearly daily. I ended up selling my 5D and 28/35/50/85 and use the X100 for everything. The only time I wish I had something else is for head shots, which I do very rarely, or compressed full body shots that don't show so much surrounding environment. The TCL looks great for 50mm equiv, but I would really love an 85 if possible. Does anyone have both the TCL and access to the Tcon 1.7? I know someone posted just the x100 with tcon, and while it had some pure black vignetting it didn't protrude into the frame that much, and I'm wondering if it would work alright with the TCL. I've seen some results of 2x Tcon 1.7s on other various cameras with good results around the net (albeit on smaller sensor cameras).

whatever7 posted:^ That should be 8x10 sorry. I've been shooting with an X100 original since it shipped, and a 12mp 5D original before that. I have 2 meter wide prints on my wall that are sharp, detailed, and want for nothing visually. There *are* people who need more than 12 mp, 99% of all photographers don't fit in that group. Especially seeing as the vast majority don't print, and those few that do print most often uses sizes that 12mp can easily handle.

Just got the TCL converter for my X100. Love it. There were a few times I wanted some shot compression, or to be able to do headshots without the giant noses a 35mm gives. Really really pleased with the quality of this converter. _DSF6935.jpg by Ben Mathis, on Flickr

Martytoof posted:The same way the Xpro1 is "pocketable" with the 27mm if you wear idiot rave pants, but if you do wear idiot rave pants EYY fuggedaboudit! I find the X100 with the leather ever ready case totally removes this problem. I can throw it over my shoulder even when wearing a tank top and swim shorts without pockets, and I never worry about rain, or it knocking against things, and it's always ready to just unsnap and bring up to my eye to photograph. Maybe your particular camer/lens combo has an ever ready case?

surrender posted:The E-M1 Mk2 is going to have 4K I'm curious. What are people in this thread using even HD let alone 4k for? I've got a few film friends who do full film production (one has the first ever 8k dragon sensor) and that makes sense if your end result is going to be actual cinema theatre projectors that can utilize it, but aren't most people in this thread uploading to youtube or vimeo as their final presentation format? It just seems a bit like a silly feature that so few people will use. It seems similar to all of a sudden getting 100 mp sensors in point and shoots or phones despite 99% of users posting to facebook or flickr and never printing, let alone at billboard sizes.

MeruFM posted:High megapixels innately resolve more detail. Even if you downscale the 4k to 1080, it will be notably sharper than 1080. You can also do crops on 4k while retaining 1080 detail. Yes, I know that. But a marginally sharper 1080 crop of some amateur video on vimeo gets you....? Again: any kind of non desktop projection... go wild. 1080, 4k, 8k, they have their utility. But if end platform is a social platform share for people to watch on their monitors, where no commercial aspect is involved, I just don't get it.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Its absolutely disgusting how good the X100F is in low light, I shouldn't be able to shoot color at 10000 iso Speaking of, I'm finally thinking of upgrading my x100 original. I have the leather case that it lives in, and the TCLx100 which I use about 30% of the time. My main complaints: 1. Not quite enough resolution, especially after trips and wanting to make canvas wall prints 2. While it was jaw dropping high ISO and dynamic range back at launch, camera tech has moved on and I'm jealous of higher dynamic range and ISO performance 3. Biggie, the AF is balls slow, lacks any kind of tracking feature, and I now have a toddler I was looking at the Panasonic lx100 (or whatever number the micro 4/3 sensor one is) but it's *only* 12 mp which the x100 already is. I was also looking at bigger cameras but the size of the x100 was my main selling point after downgrading from a DSLR, and I was also looking at the Sony Rx1 III but 3k USD plus is too steep for my wallet AND it is much deeper than the x100 and sounds like the AF isn't that great. X100F seems to answer all my problems, and I can continue using the leather case and teleconverter I already own (though not the batteries, but I'm ok if it means longer battery life) Anyone else made the jump from x100 original to F, or who owns both and would be willing to do a little dynamic range and/or high ISO direct comparison between the two?

8th-snype posted:The only difference is the v2 converters have a magnet in them to tell the camera that you mounted it so it will automatically apply the correct setting. You can still use the v1 converters you just have to manually tell the camera it's mounted, like a peasant. Was aware of the teleconverter upgrade and that it's possible to use V1 on the x100F. And aware the performance is better, I'm just curious "how better" before I pull the trigger

Yeah the camera itself was slow, but I definitely preferred the image quality from the original to the first Xtrans variation, I think the S? The T looked to be on par IQ wise, and now the F seems noticeably better.

rio posted:You will see a huge difference obviously haha. I still wish I had my old x100 though. There was something about that camera that was just so good and even the later x-trans versions couldn’t quite capture what it had going on. That have their own strengths of course but I wish it hadn’t sold it. And n top of that, that was my gateway into Fuji and the camera that got me to stop shooting canon and sell all of that gear to switch 100%. I went to immense trouble to get one of the first shipment cameras from New Zealand (lol, I live in Iceland) before the tsunami delayed the global roll out. I'm holding on to it in the hopes it might be worth something some day. Plus it will be nice to be able to rock both of them, X100 with the teleconverter and X100f without for a 35/50 setup.

Rontalvos posted:Ok this is something I find kinda funny. Same experience. Even now in 2017 I consider the x100 a great high ISO camera, I don't hesitate to push to 12,800 at times (in post). The only cameras that noticeably trounce it are significantly larger, more expensive, or both. Even the x100f I read is only about one stop improved from online reviews.

X100F is so ..... unggggggg *fist biting noise* can't really describe. It took pouring through the manual to get a grip on all the improvements, but I'm really enoying it. I currently have it set to landscape preferences in Manual mode, and then child friendly face tracking and pre-AF in AF-S mode, seems to work really well. Everything is snappier, especially the wait from taking a photo to seeing the live view again. It's so fast I was confused if it took a photo or not, coming from the blackout on the X100. Also I didn't think I'd like the picture in picture tiny tab in the OVF but in manual mode, having it show the center point already magnified, with the AF set to the AFL button?? just great, really helps nail the focus on what I am aiming for. Another nice surprise is in-body battery charging via USB. Anyone tried plugging it into a powerbank via USB to see if it still charges? Wifi transfer to the phone is a little more complicated than I would like but still nifty and I think I'll be using it, especially on trips to post quick previews. Also just loving the high ISO. this is 3200, uncropped, but with a 100% detail. Craziness!!

melon cat posted:I tried out the x100f not too long ago. The colours are amazing and the AF is fantastic. But my wife and I couldn't get over the tiny, awkward controls in it, especially the annoyingly-small focus ring. I don't even have large hands and felt like everything required tiny sweatshop hands to operate. That's weird since I count being able to use the X100/f dials even with gloves on a big selling point since I live in Iceland. I'm also 6'3"/190cm and don't have tiny hands. Never had a problem. Now trying to use any camera that relies on traditional buttons, like the 5D? that was impossible without de-gloving.
