Can confirm this is the behavior of my XPro-3. It’s not intuitive - and not consistent with other manufacturers. This decision reduces the value of exposure lock. The expected behavior would be to ...

For some people the Sony is a better choice - especially if for redundancy. I have 2 FF for redundancy - so choose the Fuji for a sidecar camera or for everyday carry. On the comparison - that’s ...

The X100V is a better sidecar camera or everyday carry camera - for the main reason that you have a very good 35mm lens in a super compact form factor. Especially, it’s very very flat while being ...

I’ve occasionally had a weird swing to underexposure in matrixed metering - though it corrects back upward over a second or two. A more common issue at night or high contrast daytime is that it ...

You can instantly check the image in the viewfinder without it leaving your eye - faster and more accurately than you could check a screen. You can flip the screen down in a simple fluid motion - ...

If you are happy with 23mm only - then X100V If you want focal length options - particularly the small, light, modern 16, 23, 35, and 50mm lenses - Xpro3 Given that so much of these two cameras is ...

To me this lens does trigger the question as to why can’t they just update the 23, 35, and 56 1.4/1.2 lenses to WR and modern focusing mechanisms.

Given that (if it performs) this is roughly comparable in usage to a full frame 85 1.4 -  the size and weight are really good. 540 grams is on the super light side for full frame 1.4 primes in the ...

The Batis 40 is rock solid with very good contrast and sharpness across the frame from wide open. I purchased it to be an excellent lightweight 35-ish before the Sony 35 1.8 came out - and to ...

Any modern sling should work for this. I’d recommend Chase Reeve’s youtube review channel as a good place to start with respect to seeing a summary of some of the popular sling options. I use both ...

Some nice photos! The X100F is one of the best chunks of money I’ve ever spent. It is small enough to go anywhere but compromises very little in technical performance. The user experience is ...

This is interesting - and makes me want to revisit myself to see if I actually solved (or not) the Batis 40/85 missed-focus behavior by avoiding under-exposure (see my post below). Looking through ...

What I've found on multiple lenses - including the Batis 40 and 85 for me (probably because I use them a ton) is that my miss rate on eye autofocus gets noticeably worse if I am purposely ...

Question- have you used this camera for any significant amount of time? I’ve been using it for 2-weeks heavily across a 3-country travel spree - and have not observed the experience you have had ...

I go to Indonesia 5-10 times a year - have a house in Java and have traveled extensively in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, & Bali. Most important advice - Travel light, experience the place. If you’re ...

I also had similar issue - it was a switch failure of the focus mode selector. This seems a relatively common issue, among failure modes for the camera. Fuji fixed for the equivalent of about 120 USD.

I Have the A9 - but for some of your questions below I don't think much has changed: 1) You can map a button to turn off the LCD. If you have a button to spare this may be worth it. However, I ...

Yes, both depth of field and noise performance in same light and with same shutter speed will be practically the same for a F1.4 APS-C vs 2.0 FF, if focal lengths are also equivalent, and sensors ...

The choice is about more than the technical capabilities. To oversimplify: (1) Fuji tends towards high-quality, compact, and delightful to use.

If you look at images from the A7RIII, A7III, and A9 - all scaled to same resolution (be it 24MP or less) they will look practically identical on ISO performance in most - if not all - scenarios. B ...
