Put a 3 stop on this weekend so I could shoot wide open with the 35mm in the bright SoCal sun. The HUD in the OVF ramps up and down on it's own. However it was so dim I could not make out exposure comp. Then I realized it was setting the HUD brightness based on the sensor with a 3 stop...

FYI, the XF 35mm holds up well at f/16 Blur index gadget

f/5.6 is the sweet spot Not sure about the huge jump in IQ from f/2 to f2.8 Fujinon XF Lens: Primes - Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R (Tested) - SLRgear.com! Here's the blur index gadget: tloader

X-Pro1 is 14 bit, correct? Nice find

Saw a scoop.it post that said the brightness of the EVF and OVF can be set independently using QMenu / "LCD brightness". What I am seeing is LCD Brightness can be set independently for the EVF and LCD. If you have your eye to the viewfinder, "LCD brightness" adjusts the EVF. However it does...

Nice and low profile, no one will notice you with that lens ;)

Yep, that's MoVal.

These were Provia/standard which is lower contrast than say Velvia. Velvia would be a good choice for straight OOC, no PP. Provia/standard being lower contrast gives more wiggle room with DR. Probably a better choice for RAW / PP, which is what I am used to. Thx 4 looking.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Feel free to ask questions, just try to make sure they are not already covered here, thx. X-Pro1 settings: Provia/standard, jpeg, all settings at 0 Lightroom 4: Exported as long edge 1000px, jpeg quality 88 Straight OOC. If there is any LR4 PP I will note it...
