When the manufacturer of a camera recommends a certain modus operandi, as Fuji did here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160210003647/http://www.finepix-x100.com/en/story/lens-2
"It is therefore recommended that an aperture value of F4 is selected for macro applications."
and the operator ignores that recommendation, shouldn't we consider that a fault on the part of the operator rather than the camera?
Any opinion regarding the photos or just wanted to tell me something??
I would also assume that manufacturers from virtually all cameras on the planet would assume that 1/8s would be too slow for moving subjects.
But the 1/8s is there and can be used, maybe for the sake of taking some "liberties". When I still developed my own film I would now and again "cook" the developer for a special high grain effect.
Also not recommended by the manufacturer of film, I guess. But can be done.

I don't remember ever reading a comment by a photographer trying to 'poison the well' by saying something like "I am aware of the fact that this film is considered defective because shots at 1/8s are sometimes blurry but I did it anyway."
You in attack mode or after a debate?? Or just trying to lecture me?
If a camera has F2 on the aperture ring then I am sure some people might actually use this instead of getting hung up on some blog.

It is definitely a feature!
Consider for comparison the Leica X1 which was developed around the same time as the Fuji X100 and its lens.
On the Leica X1 if you focus close the camera will *prevent* you from shooting wide open! Depending on the focus distance the camera will stop down the lens even in full manual mode.
In contrast, with the Fuji X100 you have to do this yourself - stopping down on close focus for sharpness, but you can also leave it wide open at 2.0. So more options with the X100!

Note to self: When deednets starts a thread with a subject like <such and such>: fault or feature on the <whatever>?? he actually has no interest in contemplating that question.

Booed made Super 8. I worked at a TV station as a teenager and shot news film with 16mm Boleyn H16 Rex.
Oh yes, I do!!! - but don't like your tone in general.
I have a suspicion that you have been on internet fora before am I correct?? Different screen name maybe?? Your emphasizing in bold lettering will find friends here but I won't be one of them.
You have an opinion about my question marks really not meant as an invitation? It was but not for a lecture from ... what's your new screen name??
Nuff said.
