Hi I tested my copy with a resolution chart. Please find a detailed description of my setup and procedure in this thread . This is of course not a test under scientific lab conditions. It is what I ...

I had the same problem! See here for a workaround solution: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63515900 It's not as convenient as a built in solution but it works. Cheers, Martin

I tested my copy of the 18-55 mm (bought in 11/2018) on my X-T20 as described in this thread . This is of course not a test under scientific lab conditions. It is what I was able to do at home w/o ...

Here's my first experience with a resolution test chart. I started w/ DIY printouts but then bought a test chart, main reason being that the alignment of camera vs chart is greatly facilitated with ...

Hi Bimmeracer As it seems, we have to accept that Godox's focus assist beam does not really work w/ Fujifilm, i.e., it does not light up reliably in situations when it actually is supposed to. And ...

Hi tradesmith45 Many thanks for your recommendations. A star photo (we can call it the ' astro test ') will be a bit more effort (not that quick a test) for those living in a city, but anyway, it ...

Hi hyperfuzz Pls check the forum a bit. There was a recent thread on this topic: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63547167 Cheers, Martin -- https://500px.com/bachrocks

Right! Thanx Dudeness! Just scroll a little up here in the current thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63652548

Rod I had the same question. For a tripod support solution, see this thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63515900 Cheers, Martin

Hi ragbasti Couldn't agree more! Please let me emphasize again: this landscape was not my test picture . It was only the picture when I first became suspicious! What I then did was my ' filigree ...

Thanks Sheyinghi. Yes. It's not super bad but seems slightly decentered. I already sent it to Fuji's repair center. The lens is still within the warranty period (24 months in Germany). My learning ...

Yes Stuart's 3D LUTs work with darktable! Here's a thread on best practice Fujifilm style emulation with darktable . Still hoping for a bit more discussion there! Of course the result is not 100 % ...

Can look at the details only later, but as far as I can see, you did an excellent job in alignment of your setup! I do very similar tests at the time with my lenses, I was a bit shocked to discover ...

Thanks norjens. Good to assess distortion for more scientific reason, as you said. Think for assessing corner sharpness, the alignment of camera vs chart was not good enough (?). Didn't check the ...

As we're talking about this new lens, may one of the happy owners let us please know the working distance at 2:1 magnification (i.e., the distance between front element and subject)? Cheers,

Another vote for the X-T20. I have it. Same sensor = same IQ as the X-T2. A phantastic camera at a great price performance ratio. At least in Germany/Austria, there is € 200 cashback until end of ...

(...) Thanks tokumeino for the in-depth explanation. No worries, I had done my homework and understood the article. I've already used such a self printed Zeiss/Siemens chart some longer time ago ...

Ha! Our posts crossed :-D Thanks Bill :-)

Thanks tokumeino. Maybe I am wrong, but I find this Zeiss modified Siemens star chart a bit small, and such charts do not cover the corners of the image frame, just the center. I fully agree on not ...

Thanks Tom. Yes, good idea. I know the brick wall test and did it in the past to check my 9 mm Laowa lens (that passed the test :-)). Missed it with my XF 55-200 mm. Cannot catch up now to check ...
