Release date is November 8, 2016. Firmware upgrade for the FUJIFILM X-T2, enabling tether shooting support

I've been looking into investing in a good compact travel tripod for quite some time. It seems whenever I find a tripod that fits my needs; I am constantly disappointed and end up returning it. But I think I finally found one that I am happy with. While shopping for a video monopod; I came...

Oh I perfectly understand, Blythe. Indeed a force of habit from darkroom days and loupes; I specialized in color management processing back in the days of film.

To use protective filters or not is a ongoing debate, including lens hoods. Do they provide protection to your lens? Yes and no; whatever is on the end of the lens when it hits will take the majority of the impact, depending on how the setup falls. I've broken a filter and/or hood or two over...

Indoor sports automatically will demand higher ISOs and apertures of f2.8 or lower. A midrange prime like the 85mm (84mm Fuji) can be used for sports (f1.8-1.2); but I find I prefer the compression factor of the telephotos. The 135 mm f2 (a staple when I shot with Canon) is one of my all time...

XF90mm f2 or XF50-140mm f2.8 with 1.4TC (monopod/ballhead). Often times really very tight quarters to shoot from.

I've had my X-T2 for a couple of weeks now. Mostly learning my way around the menus and setting them to my needs. The true test will be shooting sports indoors where flash is not allowed, and AF locking on target for my daughter's riding competition. The indoor show arena/rings are often...
