HI

I have been reading quite a bit about the Fuji xt1, x100s, x100t, xe2 that X-Trans II may be the best sensor for achieving "film like quality" in their output. Also, some have written this is Fujifilm's best sensor.

Wanted to see if those with this sensor and other sensors found this to be the case and if their is a noticeable difference in the output of the sensors and also if not the same type of qualities could be achieved by using another of Fuji cameras with vintage lenses?

Thanks very much

Lou

I have an xt1. Imho, I can't see the "film" difference between it and my xt20 and xt3. But I guess it partly comes down to what film sim settings are used. If you look at fujixeekly recipes, I would think that you would be able to get all of the fuji x cameras to look like film in some way or another.

I do have some shots with the 35mm 1.4 and the xt1, where I used some portra and ectachrome recipes and I found them very nice indeed. And adapting some of the old vintage lenses can also give a different look.

Maybe others have investigated this in much more detail.

I think the most striking thing with the xt1 is, that it can be found really cheap and with the right eyes behind the camera, it will make images just as fine as any new camera. You have to live with slower autofocus among other things of course
