Thank you for taking the time to do a comparison. I also did some comparisons to Bayer sensor cameras when right after the X-Pro 1 was released. It is difficult to do these kind of pixel level...

No problem. Enjoy the liberating experience of the X100S. My 5D II has been sitting at home most of the time since I bought the Fuji's :) Cheers,Smatty=> Homepage=> Recent Flickr Photos

No, the most current one is 3.0 http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/lens/xf18mm/index.html Cheers,Smatty=> Homepage=> Recent Flickr Photos

First of all congrats to the X100S. I have been using it for about 6 month now (and a X-Pro 1 and classic X100 for much longer than that). Here are my suggestions to the settings you made: I use...

It even gives you the advantage of using a pinch lens cap (the pinch version known from Nikon and Tamron lenses) of 49mm on your X100S Cheers,Smatty=> Homepage=> Recent Flickr Photos

I have to chime in with the others. The Samyanf 8mm f2.8 is fantastic and very usable even as a MF version. I did a detailed review of the pro and cons on this lens if you care to know more before...

Better AF lock in backlit situations with the PF pixel coming more often into effect vs. CDAF! Cheers,Smatty=> Homepage=> Recent Flickr Photos

And while I love the 18mm for the weight, compactnes and AF speed, the 14mm has a real WA feel to it and the IQ when pixelpeeping at the corners is better! And the MF is set up in a great way that...

I am also shooting fast moving kids with my Fuji X-Cameras often. They are a hard target as they seem to be unable to sit still for 1 second. But there are some things you can do to still get the...

Does the organic CMOS sensor require feeding? ;-)

Great!

Now that the extended bottom end of the Fuji X-Series line up is taken care of can we please get the X-Pro 2 now?

Pretty, please!!!

Since the Adobe LR Raw conversion was improved in one of the last LR 4 updates I have started to shoot my Fuji's in JPG + RAW. I have shot more than 5000 images with the X100S and I do not see the...

I will be selling the X100 as I enjoy using the X100S so much more! Cheers,Smatty=> Homepage=> Recent Flickr Photos

Yes, I bought the original X100 a little over 2.5 years ago on the first day it came out here in Germany. And I bought the X100S when my camera dealer called me and asked if I wanted to be first to...

Well, I have seen quite a few of these unscientific snap comparison shots from "photo perzon" and his unique conclusions that he reaches from those samples. But this is one of the few times that I...

Chris, I think you will enjoy the X100S. I came from a Canon 5D MK II with a lot of nice "L" lenses (still have them) but since I got the X100 (2.5 years ago) and later the X10, X-Pro 1 and this...

A X100S quality EVF and phase detection pixel AF would certainly be a nice improvement on the X-Pro 2. And I would also enjoy the option to wirelessly upload the photos to my iPad / iPhone without...

Maybe it would be worth looking at the VSCO Filmpacks? I too have SilverEfex, but find that I get better and faster results with the VSCO presets straight in LR. But you would have to check if it...

OK, I was not aware of that. I guess I was hoping for some Ilford HP5 results straight ooc ;) Cheers,Smatty=> Homepage=> Recent Flickr Photos

I enjoy my B&W pictures to have strong B&W contrast and find your sample image to be a bit washed out. Are your results always like this with the Monochrom? And have you tried color filter to...
