Well, I'm not a picker a part kinda guy. I love the camera and the new firmware is a big improvement. I noticed some time ago that my mind was playing tricks with me.
I set my camera for say, f11. I set hyperfocal distance with MF and then I get a kinda sick feeling.
The DOF scale is wrong. I never mentioned this because I thought it would raise a ruckus. Well.... Here it is in all it's glory. The battle begins now!
It seems that Fuji used a 35mm lens to set the DOF scale. It should have be set with a 23mm lens instead. Use any DOF calculator and you will see what the issue is.
Maybe Fuji was being conservative but the general consensus is, no, they are wrong.
I did research on other forums and low and behold, I'm not the only one to spot this....
Don't post and tell me I'm crazy until you compute the DOF on a calculator.
This is one of the most important features on this camera and for all real purposes, it's really useless....
