Where are the Dynamic Range charts?

It's pretty useless to pixel peep with unfinished prototype lenses, as the results (good or bad) will certainly differ from production lenses. I need to get my hands on at least a pre-production...

Andy, the kit zoom is F2.8-4, not F2.8-4.5 like you state in the article. ;)

Hi Coguar, my preview contains plenty of samples: http://www.fujirumors.com/first-look-xf55-200mmf3-5-4-8-r-lm-ois/

I also put larger versions of 30 samples on Flickr:...

Nice writeup! As usual, Andy seems to see things very much like I do.

I was actually able to test the prototype lens with a pre-release copy of the new firmware, here's my article including many...

Live view gives you an image exposure preview in M mode once you half-press the shutter, this is a new feature of the X100S.

The PDAF pixels are also recording the image, just with 1 stop less sensitivity.

Unfortunately, neither Live View nor Live Histogram adapt to any indicated under- or overexposure in manual exposure mode, neither in manual ISO nor Auto-ISO mode. I hope this may be improved in a...

Auto-ISO maximum is 6400. You can also set the ISO floor and the minimum shutter speed. It's possible to store different Auto-ISO configs in your three custom settings (C1 - C3). Auto-ISO can also...

According to my sources, PDAF works at 5 EV and higher.By the way, the good old "autofocus trick", aka "shutter mash", also works with the X20 and X100S. Here's a test shot I made with the X100S...

I'm glad some of you found the article helpful. Comparing the advantages and weaknesses of both sensor concepts is indeed quite interesting. In the end, it's up to the photographer to make the most...

Since both the X10 and the X20 chose DR400% for this scene, you may want to drop a note to Fuji telling them to rework their DR-Auto logic.As the X20 doesn't offer the EXR sensor advantage when it...

In shooting mode, the OIS is working all the time, even when turned off at the lens. OIS mode 2 and OFF are more silent than OIS mode 1, though. Btw, you can experience the same lens switch-on /...

I think SP 5 and Capture One 7 form a pretty good team. Use SP for shots with extreme detail and C1 fpr shots with extreme dynamic range. Here  is my comparison of several converters.I would not...

For serious X-Trans RAW conversion, I recommend using Silkypix 5, not Raw File Converter EX (aka Silkypix 3). Silkypix 5 is also available as a 30 day trial version, that's plenty of time to figure...

Here  is a comparison of Silkypix 5, Capture One 7, Lightroom 4 and RPP. I also got my hands on the latest AccuRaw beta, today, which actually does look pretty promising. Including the built-in...

Certainly superior to the 18mm prime. See here  for samples, here  for a discussion of its optical correction and here  for tips using the lens.

The 14mm ships with an SD card containing firmware 1.03 for the X-E1 and 2.02 for the X-Pro1, so there's nothing to worry about regarding camera body support for the new lens.

I have added several new samples to my 14mm set .

Here's  my take on the new RAW converter options on Fujirumors, comparing JPEG, C1, SP5, LR4 and RPP.
