Love the camera - hate the output Locked

You may want to lock the thread - by all means.

Perhaps I shouldve posted on the Open Talk forum - I just didnt realise that this is a tec exchange forum

I have a backup signature that says "imagination is more important than knowledge" and posting an opinion does not imply complaining, lacking knowledge or a seedy agenda.

Of all systems I've owned, incl foveon, Fuji had been the most challenging to tweak the colour output to my liking and I've tried it all from LUTs in rawtherappe through WB calibration to WB shifts etc. I am not interested in faux film-like recipes etc.

My x100T is an excellent B&W kit for story telling and I intend to keep it that way.

had I "liked" the colour/ JPEG output (incl. other fujifilm bodies besides the original x100) by any means I would've recently fully overhauled to Fujifilm. In fact I had a hard time back in May before pulling the trigger going MFT instead of Fujifilm (was thinking either XT4 or XPro3 with the full 1.4/1.2 prime lens set).

Perhaps I am wrong but I guess I am the only one thinking Fujifilm would have a lot more potential rethinking their sensor strategy.

I normally only lock threads when the discussion turns toxic or if there are other issues that start to push the discussion past DPR forum posting rules. That's not really the case here. However, I will follow your recommendation because, frankly, it's patently clear that you are completely unwilling to post examples of the very issue that you are raising in this thread. How you might expect to get advice or recommendations when you seem unwilling to even offer an example or two to support your issue is beyond me.

There are many people here with years of expertise in Fujifilm gear, color science, and other aspects of photography with Fujifilm cameras. But without some real examples for people to look at, there's no point in continuing the discussion since you apparently have no interest in offering anything that supports your story here. Further debate on this topic without something to support your issue is a waste of time.

Hence, I will lock the thread, as you suggest. If, at some point in time, you wish to reopen the topic and include some examples that support your issue, then I'm sure there are plenty of very experienced photographers here who would love to help and who have extensive experience with Fujifilm gear and color science.
