I was looking through my images yesterday and I was noticing that there are some camera+adapted lens combinations that seem to keep popping up. I believe that some lenses match up well with some cameras. I'm not sure why that is, perhaps it's because the rendering characteristics of the lens...

I want to be able to set up my E-M10 so I can get BW JPEGs that have the same (or similar look to those of Fuji cameras). I happen to really like the look that you get using Fuji monochrome film simulations. I have been experimenting with the Olympus and tweaking the settings gets you close but...

Been away for quite a spell. It's been a strange year of job changes, parents declining health and a wife with cancer. I sold off my more expensive gear (mostly to help pay for non covered medical expenses at) at the start of my wife's chemo. A year or so later my wife is in the final push of...

I'm going on a short road trip after a conference and I am torn between taking my E-M10 and Panasonic 20/1.7 or my Fuji X10 (I'm not taking both). the Olympus gives me higher resolution, better battery life, and having the EVF and flip screen is super handy. The Fuji has more pleasing color and...

I have been treating my E-M10 like a glorified point and shoot and while that has worked reasonably well I recognize it isn't using the camera to its full potential. As of late I have been using a Fuji X10 and that has really become by go to camera when I want to grab and go leaving the E-M10...

Early to the Party by kevin dixey, on Flickr a little damp by kevin dixey, on Flickr out of decay by kevin dixey, on Flickr I'm normally a RAW shooter but X10 JPEGs are pretty darned good. They can also take a fair bit of PP.

When I bought my E-M10 I was adamant that I would NEVER shoot adapted lenses on it. It was going to be my little go everywhere AF camera and I paired it up with a P20 and P14. I mean how in the world could I even think of using adapted lenses with the 2x crop factor and the terrible focus...

Merlin by kevin dixey, on Flickr Despite having access to a few "better" cameras I find myself grabbing the X10 more and more. I think it's just a lot of fun to use and the outdated (by 2016 standards) nature of it is oddly comforting. I hadn't really used EXR before. It's pretty cool.

Okay I realize that the whole point of a camera like the E-M10 is that is is an ILC but hear me out. For a while now I have though it would be and to have a Fuji X100. Of course it has a lens that is a good deal wider than I generally like and no floppy screen. it ma seem like an abomination to...

I know these are two very different beasts but I have the opportunity to pickup one or the other for a great price and I am finding them both compelling. So just a tiny bit of background. I have been an adapted lens shooter for years. I've been using primarily Sony bodies and recently picked up...

Years ago I had an X10 (in fact as I recall I bought it from Ray) and really liked that camera a lot. I sold it and since then have been shooting Fuji (XE-1) and Sony (5n, 6 and now an a6000). I find I really dislike the a6000 and I am thinking of picking up an X10 to play with while I figure...

double-decker by kevin dixey, on Flickr I've never been much of a Canon fan but I am finding that I quite like this lens (more so than any previous Canon 50/1.4 I've had).

I have been shooting NEX cameras for a number of years and recently spent time shooting a Fuji XE-1. They are all quiet good and capable of outstanding results. What I find entrusting is how much talk there is about the Fuji and it's AMAZING JPEGs. My experience was that they were good but I...

As a long time adapted lens shooter I was initially very disappointed to try and use my collection of adapted lenses with my XE1. After a lot of trial and error and many folks suggesting I pick up a native Fuji lens to see how good Fuji cameras can be, I found a nice used XF18-55. The zoom lens...

I have had some trouble getting used to my XE1 when I switched over from using a Sony. I normally don't care what camera I use but using the Fuji has always felt like I was wearing two left shoes. I realized now that all of this has been too distracting so as of now I officially don't care...

It's been an interesting trip I will admit. Since acquiring my XE1, I abandoned my adapted glass because the XE1...well let's just say that it's not the XE1's strong suit, switched from JPEG to RAW to get better IQ (and having to buy something to do a decent job with the Fuji RAW files) and...

solo by dixeyk, on Flickr furl by dixeyk, on Flickr leafence by dixeyk, on Flickr The transition from Sony has not been particularly smooth. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. I really miss shooting with my adapted Minoltas. I am hoping some day to be able to find the same kind of...

Future Tea by dixeyk, on Flickr So...clearly I have no more complaints about the XE1 images being a bit flat and soft. :biggrin: I'm using Capture One Pro 8 (picked it up for 30% off the regular subscription rate). Working in RAW seems like a colossal PITA compared to JPEG but I certainly...

I recently picked up my very first Fuji native lens in the from of an 18-55. I switched form Sony to Fuji several months back and and while I don't think the Fuji provides a particularly good platform for using old manual focus lenses I was excited to get the 18-55 as it would allow me to use my...

After going old school around 3 years ago and shooting exclusively adapted lenses since the i'm picking up my first adapted lens in ages. I found a nice clean 18-55 for a reasonable price and decided to grab it. I had really struggled on whether to go with the 27/2.8 or 35/1.4 instead but in the...

Mongrel by dixeyk, on Flickr The MC Rokkor 24/2.8 is immensely satisfying to shoot with. It may be big and heavy, but it's also sharp, has a short focus throw and peaks wonderfully on the XE1. It can also get reasonably close when I want to which makes me like it all the more.

It's been ages since I've used any Nikon lenses and even then it wasn't MF stuff. The question I have is does anyone know about this lens? I ask because after doing a bit of research I've come up with some pretty contradictory stuff. If what I have read is to be believed it is both sharp and not...

My little experiment with using Olympus OM lenses has ended. I like them for their compact size and they actually have quite good rendering and sharpness. I had bought up several OM lenses hoping for a more compact kit (I like MF lenses) but the OM lenses just aren't my cup of tea. All the...

I have been playing around with a few OM lenses that I picked up and for the most part I haven't been bowled over. They're good but I hadn't considered any of them exceptional. THEN I decided to play around with a $30 OM 28/3.5 that I picked up and I got a real pleasant surprise. It peaks really...

I've never been a huge fan of 28/3.5 lenses of any kind but this little OM lens is pretty nice. I'm starting to soften a bit on my "why does everyone think OM lenses are so special" thing...this one is darn good and that's not just because it's small. So Pink it's White by dixeyk, on...

I have a very lightly used Fuji XE1 that I bought from someone a few months back that had purchased it as a kit and only wanted the lens. It was unused when I got it. It has had a GGS screen protector since day one and sports a soft release, Match Technical ThumbsUp and a Fuji grip. I switched...

I ask because I am genuinely curious. Recently I have picked up several OM lenses. I have 2 OM 50/1.8's, 28/3.5, 100/2.8 and now a 50/1.4. I was lucky and found each for a very good price. I don't dislike the lenses at all. I bought them because they are compact and as I recalled (from...

The Lure of Plastic by dixeyk, on Flickr I picked up an Olympus OM 50/14 recently and finally got a chance to get a few images. I like the way it feels over the OM 50/1.8 MIJ. It's not that much bigger but it is much more substantial. It close focuses a bit better and while the image is not my...

I've been mirror-less for about 6 years (starting with an Olympus E-PL1) and have gone through more bodies than I care to admit. A few years back I settled in to using a NEX and stayed that way until just a few months ago when I switched to Fuji. The main reason I made the switch form a DSLR to...

I have been thinking that I would like to pick up a small camera for snaps and decided to look at something like and older m43 body like a low mileage E-P1 and pair it up with a Panasonic 20/1.7. I loved that lens when I had it and that is the only thing that would ever tempt me back to m43...

For Oberon by dixeyk, on Flickr From my newest acquisition, an Olympus 50/1.8 "Made in Japan" version. I have been playing around with it for a day or so. It's decently sharp, not terribly contrasty, The bokeh isn't objectionable and it doesn't peak all that well with the Fuji. It's nicely made...

This lens was always a favorite on the Sony and while it's longish focus throw makes it a bit less convenient when shooting at eye level I cannot argue with the results. The 42mm EFL, close focus ability and the f2 aperture make it a pretty flexible lens. It's not as compact as some 28mm lenses...

HSince getting my XE-1 I have been experimenting with a variety of legacy lenses. Overall I much prefer legacy glass to any of the native lenses for a variety if reasons and the ease of adapting legacy lenses is one of the main reasons I made the switch to mirror-less way back when. So far a...

For a long time I have tended to shy away for Olympus OM lenses. I had previously owned several 50/1.8 (MIJ versions), a 50/1.4, 100/2.8, 135/2.8, 28/2.8 and the much loved 24/2.8. They were all pretty good but none of them really wowed me. Of the ones I had the 50/1.4 and the 100/2.8 were my...
