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… 

Leica X2 or Fuji X100s – Which to Take with Me?

The Fuji X100s has such great usability and the sensor detail is superb with the 35mm (equivalent) f/2.0 lens.  The Leica X2 has the same focal length, but starts at f/2.8, has a much slower focus, far fewer settings and uses a dial for the f/stop rather than a ring…

Fuji X100s – Which is RAW and which is JPEG?

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… 

Moire and the Fuji X100s

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… 

Fuji X100s – Oops! Forgot to reset the ISO!

It was a dark and stormy night… For those of you who remember the Peanuts cartoon strips, that was the beginning of every story Snoopy wrote on his typewriter, atop his doghouse.   In this case, it was a foggy, perfect photo morning. I had been watching for a good… 

JPEGs with the Fujifilm X100s

The Fuji X100s continues to maze me in terms of dynamic color output in JPEGs. Most folks shy away from using anything but RAW images and there is some safety in that approach. However, for simple shots and images that stay equal to or under the 13″x19″ size, JPEGs from… 

More ISO 3200 Images from the Fuji X100s

The Fuji X100s handles high ISO’s very well and produces superb JPEG’s that can be easily printed to large formats.  I have always been a fan of RAW images, but keeping high volumes of RAW images, especially uncompressed images, can quickly eat disk space and cause backup nightmares.  Thus, I… 

High Speed Photography with the Fuji X100s

No, not another review of the Fuji X100s.  Just some real life examples that confirmed why I bought the camera to begin with.  This series includes my father-in-law’s old barn.  This was used to house equipment for their small farm from his childhood.  There was an old red Cub tractor…
