One of my favorite features of the Fuji X-Series cameras, including the X-T1 and previous models, is the in-camera RAW processing features. Ironically enough, like the famous James Bond inventor of magical spy tools, this Fuji feature is accessed using the ‘Q’ button. This portrait of our newest kitten was…
Pages for Black and White with the Fuji X-Series Settings for Great Black and White with the Fuji X100s – Part I Settings for Great Black and White with the Fuji X100s – Part II (here) It’s a long time coming, but I wanted too finish the discussion I started…

Coming from someone that absolutely loves Adobe Lightroom, I have to say, the Iridient Developer has a great many positive attributes to processing RAW (RAF) images from the Fuji X-Trans Sensors. This was a simple macro shot of a Caladium leaf that had rain drops left. The color was true…
Ok, I know that firmware 3.1 is now out, but I don’t anticipate differences except in the movie module. So I spent some time this morning shooting the railroad tracks near an old mill. I used the 60mm lens for all but the last three shots. What I found was…
Fuji pulled the X-Pro1 firmware version 3.0 due to a flaw in the movie mode. Today’s post is not about the photographic quality of the X-Series, but rather the reason that Fuji has made the X-Series the best camera on the market today. I may be stretching, but I don’t…
