My most used lens with my GX7ii as you insist upon calling it is the 14-140mm zoom. Also, you'd be shocked by how many people claim to shoot and enjoy the Pen F with 12-100mm f4. 🤷‍♂️

Also, Jacques is right about DXO prime NR and pretty much everything else he tried to correct you on.

Youcan choose not to use DXO Prime. But to claim that it doesn't produce final results that are very close to APS-C images handled with LR without any experience yourself on this point is, how shall I say this, willful ignorance.

I have M43, APS-C and Full Frame kits. Let's just say I use DXO prime for all of them...

Physics still reigns supreme, that's what.

Oh wait, it there may be some issues with x-trans algorithm because DXO never messed with Fuji X, they didn't even review their sensors to this day. So who's ignorant? Shouldn't DXO cater to All camera systems, not just Bayer sensor cameras? At least Adobe tries to work with X-Trans. Maybe it's DXO that's Ignorant, Lazy...

  1. I know because I tested a Fuji XT-20 against the "GX-7 ii" for a week before deciding the ultimate image quality from RAWs processed with DXO Prime vs Fuji with Lightroom were close enough that image quality differences were not significant in my final decision to go with micro43 (though the Fuji was still very slightly better). Also my prior was DSLR system was Nikon DX so I have a decade with APS-C under my belt for comparison.

So yeah.

Yeah, so you used one Software/system vs another and Drew your conclusion. Now let's say I do the same thing with Capture One with the Fuji and Lightroom with the Lumix. Guess which one comes out on top? -Heres a hint, Fujifilm. And again, I have them all, for me, it's not even slightly better, it's Clearly better. But again, that's my opinion.

By the way, I looked at Jacque’s images and there was a lot of noise. A lot.

Fuji is a very nice system too. If someone gave me an XH1 or XT30 I'd keep it and enjoy it. I wish you continued happy shooting, whatever your choices.
