sgoldswo:  I'm not sure he is responding to your post at all.  If you look at this thread in the Flat View, Joachim's post falls below an entirely different posting. I'm convinced that a fair...

...For him.  ;-)

...If you want to lug around a DSLR whilst on vacation -- be my guest. I use a pair of Nikon DSLRs for shooting sports and business events.  But I am more than pleased to leave them at home when I...

...The pending availability of Zeiss lenses was one of the reasons I bought the X-Pro1 a couple weeks ago after holding out for a year.  The only lenses available locally were the 14mm and the...

The "USB" (or US-wanna-B) cable is the (usually) black cord that comes in a little plastic bag in the box with the new camera and the rest of the other goodies (like that guitar-pick thingy that...

Were you trying for a sort of "washed out blacks" look on purpose?  I checked several of the photos with WhatColor and couldn't find a "black" darker than 84% gray. I'd recommend another PP...

Part of it is your laptop screen.  But looking at the image on a graphics monitor (that was re-calibrated last night), there are parts of the sky (lower, center) the looked turquoise to me.  I...

The 75/1.8 is not supposed to be another Summicron tack driver.  It is intended to be more of a specialist portrait lens -- on full frame. Posted on the CameraQuest site:  "Personally I consider...

My X100s RAF files seem to be in the 32 - 33 MB range -- they vary from shot to shot. X-Pro1 RAF files are all exactly 25,534 KB, and Leica M9 DNG files are all 35,580 KB. I tried shots with the...

Sorta -- but not scientific. Go here:   http://www.gallery90.com/xcams/x100s.html Scroll to the bottom of the page and I have three RAF files you can download. The X20 and X100s shots were taken...

I got the X100 the first day my local dealer had them.  Went through the early adopter experience.  Love the camera.  Was going to hold back on the X100s, but then decided to get one.  (Parallel...

I don't think that's going to be an issue with the X-Pro 2.  If it hits the market at the rumored 8-12 months after the X100s, there would be no reason not to incorporate focusing advances from the...

The introduction of an articulated touch screen would be a deal killer for an X-Pro2.  I was first in line for an X-Pro1 last year and then decided to buy an M9 instead. Upgrade from M8 and a good...

I warned about the X10 shake issue.  That appears to be a camera (not operator) issue.  I took at least twice as many X10 ISO 100 shots as X20 ISO 100 shots -- all the others were worse.  And since...

Blow me away?

Uh...

No. These are rather pedestrian.

"Blow me away" panoramics are actually difficult to produce. Once you get past the initial "wow" effect, you have to consider some of...

Blow me away?

Uh...

No.

Thanks for doing some grunt work. Neither of the comparison images may be "perfect" for a "ground truth" confirmation of your LR settings.  Olive colors are notorious, though deciding which white...

I usually find that fudging +/- 2/3 of a stop with a RAW image is no hindrance in PP.  I work on the pictures in PhotoShop, not Lightroom, and the first thing I do after noise reduction is set the...

...Why didn't I think of that?  :-|

Posted for examination, experimentation, and other non-commercial purposes are some RAW (*.RAF) comparison files from the Fujifilm X100 and X100s cameras. http://www.gallery90.com/xcams/x100s.html...
