Great shots,I expect to receive mine this week from B&H. I'm anxious to see how it works with a Cannon 500D for macro shots.

Yes No No Don't know

The easiest approach might be to use a graduaded neutral density filter  Try one with a 2x or 4x strength.

Make it three,
A great macro when coupled with a canon 500D!

Hi good luck with your new camera! The processed Raws I'm getting from my XE-1 and 14mm,and Cs6 ,ACR7.4 Are  a  step beyond the jpegs. Try it yourself and Ithink you will quickly see. Greg

GREAT!

Test shot 14mm rawI don't see any problem with my 14MM!Here's a raw I took today converted in PS6 to jeg just to reduce size.No other pp

No need for a thin polarizer on the14mm.Here's a shot I happen to take today with a standard Tiffen C.P.14mm with Circular polarizer

There is NOTHING wrong with ACR 7.4.

I've had my XE-1 for three months now.
I HAVE NEVER HAD IT FREEZE,!!
