    Fuji XE-2 Settings

    Turn NR to -2. Fuji smears jpeg details too much otherwise. I also set sharpness to -1 or -2.

    It's Over: The Last Heat (lots of images...)

    Mixed feelings. Sadness mixed with admiration.

    Fuji X100s - soft, or is it user error?

    Doesn't look "unsharp" at all to me. I can see the lower contrast. Sometimes the DR400 can make things a little flat, which can happen in strong backlighting with DRauto selected. You can always massage the curves in post.

    Show "Yourself" self-portraits (selfies!)

    So far, very much. I started out using Speedlights, but they were way underpowered behind modifiers...especially outdoors. Picked up a Flashpoint 180 kit from Adorama for $200. Really good deal for what you get but no way are they putting out 180W in power...closer to the SB800 and the light...

    Show "Yourself" self-portraits (selfies!)

    Behind the X-E1 w/18-55 set 1/125 and F8. Playing with a Godox AD360 and single 4x2 lightbox Jpeg with very minor edits. Taken with white balance on second rectangular light. Is there a WB setting for flash? It came out a bit over-saturated.

    Fuji calling all neck straps (and other straps,too)

    Not a fan of neck straps. Find the camera constantly in the way and banging on stuff. If it sling it around to the side or back it is difficult to drag forward. My X-E1 hangs off a Gordy single lug mount shoulder strap. http://www.gordyscamerastraps.com/neck-split-ring/index.htm

    Fuji Alternative to xf 55-200mm

    There is always Fuji's new $400 50-230mm, but it's really slow F4.5-F6.7. Slow aperture but fast focusing.

    Fuji X-A1 superior image quality to X-M1 (and X-E1 and X-PRO1)?

    Ackkk!!! Actually it is F6.7!

    Fuji Why The X-A1 May Be A Mistake

    If it kills the X-trans, the X-trans was never meant to live. I like the concept of offering both conventional and X-trans sensors. It might bring some people into the Fuji fold that otherwise resisted because of the sensor. It is probably less expensive for Fuji to buy commodity Sony...

    Fuji X-A1 superior image quality to X-M1 (and X-E1 and X-PRO1)?

    Just picked up the X-A1. For green foliage there is no doubt it renders more detail. Likewise there are some other quirks of the X-trans it doesn't exhibit with regard to moire and fine colored detail. Having said that, on the typical shots I take, there isn't much of a difference. I like...

    Fuji Excited for the X-E2!

    I just upgraded to firmware 2.0 and was blown away by how much faster and more reliable the focus is. Almost didn't think I needed an upgrade after that, but I'm really looking forward to the onboard phase detection for moving subjects.

    Fuji X100S (Mint!) for M43 lenses, GH2, etc.. | Location: USA | Ships: USA

    I've got a GH2 I've been meaning to sell on Ebay. Also a few different lenses that will probably go. What is your thoughts regarding trade?
