I'm starting to crumble here. Can someone tell me something really bad about the LX100 please?
I'm actually re-thinking this & instead am considering the X100 (original new) and the 50mm Teleconverter lens..
I "pre-ordered" an X100T a few weeks ago. If it works out well, I'm likely to try the 28mm and 50mm converters. And if they work out well I'm likely to sell off my X-A1 and 27mm lens. If not, I'll repurchase the Fuji 18mm lens for the X-A1. I like the LX100. I'm sure the image quality would be good enough for what I'd use it for. But there are too many niggling little issues with it for me - especially given the price. Right now, I'd be more likely to pick up a G7X or RX100 III if I really feel a need to upgrade my Fuji XF1. But I'll be waiting for Amin's feedback when he gets his LX100.
Also, I found a tip on DPR that you can process the LX100 RAW files in Lightroom by changing the EXIF to GX7. It's very easy to do using ExifTool. Here are the steps I used:
1. Download ExifTool standalone executable from here: Installing ExifTool
2. Unzip, name to exiftool.exe, and move to C:\WINDOWS\
3. Run the following from the command line to batch change all RAW files on the SD card drive (mine is drive F):
it'll no doubt open the files, but I can't imagine LR will know how to handle the LX100 lens corrections or the multi-aspect and reduced active size of the sensor
It seems to work extremely well. Colors are great. Distortion corrections are same as in-camera if you open the RAW in Lightroom. Not sure why that works, but it does!
