Thanks!

Question - does the Tamron have an aperture ring? Thanks, Malcolm

Yup, that's right, I am.  i didn't realise it would cause a problem.  I'll try again. Thanks Malcolm

Yes, I am.  I never thought about that! Thanks, Malcolm

Ok, I'll give that a try as well.

Hi All, I downloaded what looks like the latest version of RawTherapee (4.2.905) for use with my X-Pro2. However, it doesn't seem to work - here's an example of what I see when i try to open an ...

NP.  Can't remember if I saw it in the manual or just pressed the Q button by accident.....

Hi Jayboo, You don't need a computer to do in-camera RAW processing.  If you are viewing a RAW image, press the "Q" button and you will see a full range of options to control the RAW processing - ...

I agree.  here's an example - X-T1 plus Samyang 12 (Samyang = Rokinon). Malcolm

No complaints from me.  I think the OVF/EVF/ERF is a real joy to use.  I have been using an X-T1 for the last 2 years and was slightly concerned that I'd miss the amazing EVF.  I don't at all.  To ...

Hmm, I wonder what I am doing wrong then.  i have the lever on the front of the camera set to MF, the OVF on, with the little ERF window in the bottom right hand corner of the OVF.  The "focus" ...

Hi Stefan, Was that in manual focus mode? I guess my question is whether you can choose anything but the center point if the image for the ERF in manual focus mode. Thanks Malcolm

Hi All, Unless I missed it, it is not possible to change the "focus point" of the ERF when in manual focus mode (center of frame).  Does anyone else think it would be useful to be able to do this? ...

Wow, that's really interesting.  Thanks for doing that. Malcolm

Hi Jeff, Maybe a dumb question.  When you say below that the Nissin i40 works in 8fps, does that mean it fires 8 times a second?  Presumably that depends on power output??? Thanks, Malcolm

I have no rational explanation, but I hardly used this lens with the X-T1. Since I've had my X-Pro2 it's on most of the time.

This matches my experiences so far.  ISO 12,800 really is usable, at least the RAW is.  The slightly waxy skin effect is still there in jpeg.  I find that RAW plus a bit (20% to 30% in LR) of ...

Ok, that might be it.  I'm not complaining at having the choice, of course :)

Hi All, A quick question.  As you probably know, the X-Pro2 has two options in terms of the number of AF focus points.  Why would one ever choose the smaller number? Thanks Malcolm

I have to say that this sounds very reasonable.  He admits that part of his choice may be out of habit, and I'd imagine that one would want more than a few weeks with a camera that you depend on ...
