Martytoof posted:Ah, that makes sense. Thanks! You also see this on X100 centric forums where the in-camera processed large JPG is either considered "good enough" to use directly and to save time or is used as a baseline for processing the RAW. The Fuji JPG algorithm is admittedly quite good and there are all manner of "shadow tone hardness" and all manner of settings to play with but ultimately writing an uncompressed 19 meg RAW + a JPG is a lot to ask of the camera so it isn't something I do a lot of.

Shmoogy posted:Can you mount any glass on the x-pro1/e-x1? I was under the impression that there was something with the flange distance which would cause trouble, I've only heard of people mounting M glass. You can mount M, FD, and EF/EF-S (I'm a litte fuzzy on the combination). I've heard that Kipon has an adapter out or planned with an adjustable iris for EOS lenses but I don't know anything further.

rcman50166 posted:Do monitors count as "camera gear"? I don't really see a suitable thread to put this in so I figure here is as close as it will get. I recently got an AOC E2752VH 27" monitor. I am blown away at the details I have been missing. I used CRTs before this monitor and a LCD on my laptop that only went to 12XX x 8XX resolution. Let's use an example: HP DreamColor LP2480zx primary, HP LP2475w as a secondary monitor.

Helicity posted:I'll admit to buying a decent B+W for my X100 when I had it. I felt horrible doing it, but that was canceled out by the fear that something, *anything*, could happen to my fixed-lens baby. That's not that unreasonable of a fear since the entire lens block is replaced if anything happens. Also the lens protrudes slightly further out from the edge and back in again on startup and it feels like it floats if you push in on the lens. It's not exactly confidence inspiring but I have smacked the lens on a table edge once with no damage. Ricoh GRDs (at least the IV) keep an internal count of the number of times the camera has been dropped. Since I bought mine used, that and the shutter count were the first things I checked. (It came with 299 actuations, 0 drops and a small number of blurry shots of the interior of Adorama's store for the curious). Edit: Also the user-stored presets for My1, My2 and My3 were loving awful. You can tell that whoever bought the camera first tried to set it up and were like "gently caress this". I can sort of sympathize since I had to constantly reference the manual the first week to figure out the approximately six billion customizable settings you can configure.

Elderbean posted:I just bought a Fuji X-E1 and I noticed it's taking a long time to write to storage, is my SD card just lovely? I don't remember reading about any issues with write times. Listen to Helicity and you can also try formatting the card in-camera. The X's are sensitive to this.

Drewski posted:OK so I am actually considering buying a Surface 3. I don't have any office space in my place so right now I'm using my gaming laptop on my couch/chair to edit my photos. Basically, I really like the idea of being able to edit my pictures with a stylus, but I don't want to buy a wacom because of the lack of desk area and more attachments floating around is annoying, plus this would let me edit my photos from basically anywhere, e.g., curled up on a couch like a true neckbeard. Now I know a lot of people severely dislike photoshop CC, but at the very least I could install lightroom 5 and my older version of photoshop and be done with it. Would the 216 PPI of the tablet cause any real issues with editing? Get a Surface 2 with an actual Wacom digitizer, I think the 3's are using something else and they've crippled the levels of sensitivity. An Intuos 5 small with the wireless kit might also work for you.

Drewski posted:I'm assuming you mean pressure levels of sensitivity for the stylus? I was reading here they'd gotten 256 levels of sensitivity with the stylus; is that considered crippled? Older Surfaces were 1024, an Intuos/Cintiq/Cintiq Companion will be 2048. The way you work might notice, you might not. The other thing to research would be how well your version of Photoshop handles non Wacom digitizers. It's possible to be stuck using only 32 bit versions of PS or to lose things like palm rejection because the drivers for drawing surfaces is incredibly archaic.
