Yes - I do relate to this.  I did the same thing with Canon gear - ie sold it and moved to Fuji because a) I'd fallen in love with the original X100 and b) I wanted to carry less. The only thing ...

Dark table looks good - does it have its own demosaicing / RAW development module or does it use an external eg Apple RAW Converter? How fast do new cameras / models become supported? I've been ...

are you saying that the out of focus elements are key to the image,  or the way that those elements are rendered by the camera and lens? Have to say that in this image I get the lights behind the ...

Interesting, but too little too late - the people who would have found this appealing have already moved to digital. The people who still shoot film are either serious hobbyists with investment in...

I share your sentiment Deed. For me - the depressing thing is the number of people taking pictures with phone cameras - often very good pictures I should say. Why spend time post processing images ...

Yes - but not with LR.  Import into ipad photos (I have an SD card to lightning reader dongle)  and use it for the first pass look - have I got a useable in-focus shot(s) before I pack up and go ...

Tony made the right point - the focus will work fine - just make sure you have manual aperture control - ie an aperture ring on the lens

Flip (briefly if in OVF) to the EVF.  Now you're seeing what your sensor sees.  Adjust exposure to taste...

I agree your subjects look a little soft - only really noticeable at full zoom though.  I had a quick look at pics I've taken with my copy of this lens: At 1.4 subjects are a little soft - hard to ...

OK - have to admit I don't get this... I'm sure the caption is the clue but I'm missing the reference! The image is unusual - focused, as it is, on the empty sofa back and table edge with the main ...

I'd agree with that, or an X-Pro if you want an optical viewfinder.

Have kept the 23mm 1.4 and the 35mm 1.4 - fab lenses. Don't need the weather sealing and I prefer the faster lenses... I have the 14mm f2.8. Tempted by the faster 16mm lens but have been massively ...

I had an X100 and traded up to the X100S when it was launched.  Better in every respect so that's the one to get.

Lightroom does this - ie import only new and rename batch (CMD-A to select then library menu)

I lost a 55-200 in a fall last year - I claimed on my insurance. The best way of telling if you really love a lens is - given the insurance money... do you buy the exact same thing as a replacement. ...

Yes - set to: usb card reader auto - your camera thinks it is trying to save images off-camera - guess you've been using tethered or wireless.

Too big for me.  I bought into mirrorless (from full frame SLR) because I wanted to take advantage of micro electronics to have a smaller, lighter camera with great image quality. I love the idea ...

A fast solid state drive (SSD) will be the single biggest thing you'll notice if your existing computer doesn't have one.  Everything will load faster and save faster.

As a fellow sailor in the UK in cold wet January your pics made me long for better weather and time on the boat.  Thanks for sharing. PS I agree about the 23mm 1.4  Outstanding lens

I have a mark on the sensor of my X-Pro2.  I haven't had to clean it before and I confess to being nervous.  Does anyone have a workflow / process they follow to manually clean a sensor and would ...
