    Sony RX1 and Fuji X100s - A Comparison (long!)

    WOW. Again, WOW - thanks for the comprehensive and comparative review. I own an X100S and am very satisfied with it (I love the 35mm focal length), though I have been considering an RX1 trade given the FF and Zeiss optics. Thanks for your post. Well done.

    Fuji X100: Portrait with jelly donut at Hanukkah

    Yes - the EF-20 kicks butt (IMHO) compared to EF-X20. The EF-20 can be bounced off the ceiling and with a diffuser on it, the resulting image is superb.

    Nope - I believe I had this set at Astia.

    Fuji X100, view of Hudson River and Westchester - a blue snowy day in HDR

    Quick handheld snaps from my train station, overlooking the Hudson River. A very blue day out with some light snow that had fallen (see foreground) though most had melted away. Shot three EVs and stacked them; no other PP, so to speak. The day was indeed as blue as it looks. Hi Res file here...

    Fuji Showcase The Fuji X100 portrait thread

    The X100 does quite well - even crops! I meant - what were your settings in terms of Astia? In-camera sharpening? Et...?

    Fantastico. What were the camera JPG settings?

    Fuji X-E1 + 35/1.4 = Superb images

    Hi all. Just beginning to experiment with my new X-E1 and 35/1.4 (reminds me of the PanaLeica 25/1.4). This shot is from indoor (dim lighting) SOOC (resized web). I'm sure the lens will be better outdoors as well... Note - YES, the background is busy (though the wide aperture helps), but...

    Fuji X100: Portrait with jelly donut at Hanukkah

    Fuji Shadow Tone and Highlight Tone settings?!?!

    Thanks for your settings above. But dont you mean "Provia" when you sayd "Pro Neg High"? Or do you mean Pro(via) Neg(ative Tone) High (Color and Sharp) ?

    Fuji Shadow Tone and Highlight Tone settings?!?!

    Hi all. I searched the internet briefly, but not sure I got my answer. I have an X100 (and an X-E1 on order). Been lazy about the settings until now, but wondering.... most of my shots are of my family or friends. 99% are portraits or people shots, and of those two-thirds are indoors with either...

    Fuji X100: Portrait with jelly donut at Hanukkah

    Thanks - yes, the donuts were delicious. The X100 continues to amaze me (makes me wonder why I was a moron and sold my first one before re-buying one). The crops are so insanely good for my purposes. Mind you, I have a few kids, so I've become a 'lazy' photographer the past few years. Thus...

    Fuji X100: Portrait with jelly donut at Hanukkah

    Ha - yes. Jelly donuts galore. Anyway, yes the EF-20 does tilt. I think it's a great flash that doesnt get much credit. I had the newer EF-X20, which has same GN rating, but smaller. That one doesnt tilt and I foudn it provided very harsh lighting, even with flash EV at -1. For my EF-20, I...
