One in ten! I've never understood the Noctilux line. Summiluxes can be wonderful. But for 75mm, you might compare what you can get with a Voigtlander.

Here it is on an X-Pro2. (That's black gaffer tape on the top right.)

No single program is a total solution. I start in Raw Therapee and send a .tif into Picture Window Pro from Digital Light & Color.

Cannot speak to Palo Duro Softgloss, but in general I've found the results from Red River profiles are more often quirky than Canson and Moab profiles - on a P800. Have you tried both Relative and ...

The wine critic is In. Do you refer to operation or to the images? What would soft-edged minimalism be?

IQ is excellent. A few examples I have no complaint about AF, but I don't shoot sports and people have different demands on AF.

Fuji X lenses are designed to let vignetting and barrel/pincushion distortion happen and rely on software correction. Those two Leica lenses have much less vignetting and distortion, particularly ...

Take the shots at the best quality you can. No need to reduce quality or resolution -- and resolution is in pixels per inch. Just crop as needed and convert to b&w. The printer prints at so-called ...

... for some users. Others of us keep it off. Watch an edge as you rotate the focus ring, not the entire scene. The edge will "snap" into focus.

You can get fine images with those lenses on a Fuji X camera. A generic adapter works fine. Search Flickr with something like Fuji Summicron for samples. There are several generations of these ...

Came across this gallery of distinctive shots with the X100T. http://www.l7.org/IMAGEs_by_DEN/ (His lead web page gets new content from time to time, so take a look now, or poke around his website.)

The Zeiss Touit 50/2.8 for Fuji X-mount is 1:1. Typical great Zeiss image quality. Can be found, with a little patience, around $600.

Yes, a coffee filter is a good start. Set the camera custom WB with the filter by aiming toward, although not necessarily directly at, the light that will land on your subject. One elaboration: If ...

Black gaffer tape, available at art supply stores. Anonymize and protect as desired.

Tom, he is the pixelpunk, but his passive-aggressive dig is probably aimed at me, not you. He has a long history of trying to lure me into flame wars, perhaps because I refused to kowtow to his ...

Tom-Thomas discovered a problem. He did a huge amount of work, joined this board to report it, pinned down Epson, and suggested a quick workaround (gamma up by 0.16 at the end of preparing the ...

Thank you for joining us and reporting the problem, for your herculean efforts, and for your suggestion that one nudge the gamma while preparing an image for print. This dark-print problem is more ...

The last logical pincer point here seems to be: you printed on the P8000 using Epson's profiles and then you printed using your own spectro'd profile - and got the "same dark prints." Had you ever ...

In a last-minute crunch like this, consider whether you can 1) work entirely in sRGB, or 2) ask the customer about black and white.
