I took the X to Charleston, South Carolina for the weekend to see how it might perform. Overall, the focus was fast and write speed was so quick I had no hold-up in writing to the SD Card while shooting photographs. I still have to get used to the changes between…
Hopefully, if time permits, I will get several parts out for this review. For now, this is a quick look at some out-of-camera JPEG’s (OOC for short). I looked carefully at the same OOC JPEGs in the Fuji X series and was pleased. Let’s see what we find here in…
I waited for two days as the tracking number showed my package getting closer to delivery. Like the initial hype of the Leica X-Vario, I didn’t want to build my expectations too high for the X-E2, but the concept of the X-Trans II sensor and better focusing was too tempting….
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…
UPDATED: I updated some of the links to Camera Quest and changed ‘dealer’ to ‘distributor’ as Stephen so kindly pointed out! Thanks, Stephen! I received my 10th anniversary, nickel plated, brass housed, Voigtlander 50mm Heliar. This lens is a screw mount and collapsable, reminiscent of the early film days. Voigtlander…
I keep posting about how much I like the in camera JPEG files with no modification. I guess part of this is because I “grew up” on film cameras where what you shot was what you got. So, I like the challenge of nailing the exposure in the Fuji X100s…
Borris. Borris is the name of our marshmellow cat. I found him sitting on the deck railing with the setting sun behind him. A perfect opportunity to test the APO corrections to the Leica-M 75mm ASPH APO lens. I think the test is passed. See for yourself. I also included…
One of the unique attributes of the FujiFilm X-Series is the way the color pixels are laid out on the sensor. Most color digital sensors have a pattern of red, green and blue pixels. Without going into great scientific detail, there are more green pixels than red or blue, but…
First, this is not scientific, but a simple review of two images to compare the flare in two Leica wide angle lenses. In order to make a more thorough conclusion, one would need to take multiple images at varying f/stops and conditions with more measurable data. I decided to make…
