Turns out I’m not the only one complaining about the Fuji’s controls. Here’s what Gordon Laing from the Cameralabs.com has to say in his mostly positive review of X-T1: Fujifilm XT1 review | Cameralabs

Excellent idea! I just don't know who do I contact at Fuji. I would be glad to get some contact information you be so kind to share it with me.

Then you've found your perfect system. For though the system feels half baked and I'm trying to improve it and this is the reason I started this topic

There is no other system out there with such an erratic behavior. All other systems have their lenses behave the same way no matter if it's cheap or expensive ones. Most of the people who buy cheap manual legacy lenses are buying them because they are cheap, not necessarily because they are...

...and that difference is huge! Switching from adjusting the aperture with you left hand on a lens to doing it with your right hand on a body is inconsistent. I don't understand what else would you call it!

Oh, I see the source of confusion. You don't have to set the aperture switch on your lens to "A" in order to set an aperture. In fact by doing that you would lock yourself into the "Shutter priority mode" and the only setting you'll be able to change would be a shutter speed while the aperture...

1. Even so called "professionals" use those cheaper lenses occasionally so I think they deserve the same shooting experience across the platform (not to mention an "entry level users" like me that "don't know any better" 2. The only true aperture ring is a mechanical one and those can only be...

The situation I've described is an absolutely true situation. You can try those lenses by yourself and see how they work

I didn’t mean to offend anyone, I just don’t appreciate when people misquote me or trying to patronize. As for our business: first of all the problem is not limited to variable aperture lenses. For example the 27mm f/2.8 despite being a prime XF lens doesn’t have aperture ring at all- not...

"Everybody has the right to an opinion, and to express that opinion without their contribution being belittled, scoffed at or being made to feel humiliated, alienated or put down." Well said. Funny thing- this is exactly how I was treated by some people in this forum just for suggesting there 's...

When you're quoting someone you need to stick to the facts and words that were actually said or written. Otherwise you're just making things up.

I appreciate your input and also want to thank you for the great book. I bought it even before my X-T10 arrived and learned a lot from. To address some of your points: 1. I agree with the idea that we need to write Fuji directly, I just don't know who to write to. I would think expert like you...

The aperture ring on 18-55 is NOT AN APERTURE RING. It's an electronic dial which was put on a lens. It's fake. It creates inconsistent shooting experience when you're using different lenses. Imagine if every time you change the tires in your car to a different brand your car would also change...

You clearly didn't read my comments. First of all I've never said I liked primes- I hate primes and only use zoom lenses. And second of all all I'm asking is the ability to use a rear dial IN ADDITION to the aperture ring, NOT INSTEAD. And don't give me this nonsense about "Fuji's whole design...

It's somewhat decent but Fuji lenses are better and there are more of them out there. And that's the only reason reason for me to stay with the Fuji system. A7 is a full frame camera which means the size and the weight of their lenses will be to big for me. I don't want to go back to those days...

The problem is not the camera body it's the lack of the high quality glass. NEX-6 is an amazing camera. I paired it with a manual Minolta 50mm f1.7 I bought on Ebay for $20 and got and amazing quality pictures. However I want a full AF lenses with image stabilization technology and Sony APS-C...

You're absolutely right, I'm not happy with the Fuji shooting experience but I love the quality of the images so this is why I stay with the Fuji cameras. When I was learning photography it was in a film era and my first camera had absolutely no automatic settings. What it did have is lots of...

Every modern digital camera is a “droid” whether you like it or not. The technology under the hood of these cameras are amazing. Just because you camera dressed up like a 60 years old doesn’t make it a less “droid”. It’s just a camouflage. If you really wanted a “non-droid” camera you would...

The reason they used those knobs 60 or so years ago was that the cameras were all MANUAL. There was no other way to design them. Nowadays it’s all digital so why not allow an option to digitally control the settings? Look, I’m not saying those knows should be TAKEN AWAY, use it if you like them...

1. It's not a MECHANICAL ring, it’s a DIGITAL one. To add an insult to injury it’s UNMARKED so if you want to know your setting you MUST look at the screen or EVF. So if it’s a digital ring why not to allow it to be controlled digitally right from the body? It’s just a gimmick to make it look...

Lightmancer, thank you for reply, but I think you've missed my point. I am not talking about significant design changes. You cannot turn a family sedan into a convertible sport car, but you can add some small things to make it more usable. The things I've mentioned don't require big design...

I’m new to a Fuji system. I’m switching from the Sony NEX-6 simply because couldn’t find any decent lenses in a Sony e-mount world. So after reading tons of great reviews about Fuji cameras and lenses I bought an X-T10 with 18-55mm F/2.8-4 lens and I’m blown away by the image quality. Love it...
