What may be going on is that Fujifilm is planning an earlier than usual release of an X-H2.  Moving H-1 inventory seems like a logical preamble.    The H-2 stands to be a world beater when it does ...

Chris, Thanks for the information! Rand

Chris, Thanks . . . These camellias bloom in the “winter” where I live in SoCal.  This photo was my rainy-day project yesterday. Rand

GFX 50s 120mm

So far, I’m relatively unimpressed with the prototype’s ergos. Looks like a whole new design concept “away” from dedicated control knobs toward a more menu-multi-function knob philosophy.  Only ...

With most digital cameras you cannot tell where "anything" is set before you turn it on. Fuji's whole approach is different. You can see where "everything" is set BEFORE you turn it on. Many find ...

Here’s what I’m using for exactly that setup. Still enough extra room for spare battery, filters, etc., too.  No need to remove the finder - in fact I have finder plus tilt/swivel adapter attached ...

I have one of these, and have even put my GFX 50s w/ 250 lens on it just fine w/ the legs completely set flat.  Nice piece of kit. Rand

" . . . Obviously still a relatively primitive bit of kit compared to modern options...." Perhaps, but still vastly superior to 99.999999999% of the photography equipment available since the ...

“. . .  For one I'm not a fan of the Mastin look, it's just a variation on teal-and-orange, or cyan and pink, etc. . . . “ +1  As an old timer, it makes me chuckle when I see this kind of rendition ...

I’m right with Erik, for the most part. I’m using a RRS TV 34-L MK II tripod, and I have an Arca-Swiss D4 geared tripod head that has had the Arca clamp removed and an RRS lever clamp installed.  I ...

I rest my case....  this is just sad and purile. Rand

I as well.  Jim’s generosity in sharing his insights gained through using his gifts is much appreciated by me.  I’m not a technical person, and Jim has allowed me to learn and understand things ...

If anyone out there is still actively shooting an original X-100, shoot me a PM.  I have an accessory that I’ll send you for free. Rand

OK, I'll step out on a limb here that might only serve to reveal my lack of "up to date" knowledge on the relationship between the internal camera battery and the "power battery." OP - I get the ...

Good one.  And while absurd in one way of looking at it, sensor makers are trying to replicate (best word I can find, though probably not scientifically appropriate) the human spectrum locus and ...

“Mom, Apple Pie, Red, White & Blue: GFX 50s / 23mm Rand

I completely agree with Jim on this.  Even the reviews on DPR are ho-hum in my view.  Their particulars are usually decent, but their assumptions on what makes a camera a good one, or not, are ...

Or, in the AF menu just set it to AF+MF. Rand

+ 1 . . . My sentiments exactly. It ain’t no big deal to buy a plate for the foot of the GF 250 (I had a spare lying about that fit fine), but it also is the “trend” for camera mfgs who have their ...
