M4cr0s

Ah! I think it does, because it can still be forced into HSS mode by pressing and holding the power button (LED blinks). How long will this work when the older X-cameras receive firmware updates ...

Reports on other forums indicate that the firmwarecupdate only restores TTL compatibility. HSS do not work in any way. Mac

I shot the T1 for almost 2 1/2 years in all kinds of scenarios, both for work and for pleasure. Some 50 000 frames. Before that the Pro 1 and the X100. Improvements are substantial with each ...

All the Fuji flashes are fully compatible with the X-T2. Mac

In all honesty, the T2 received sort of an AE bracketing update. T1 was +/-1.0 stops over 3 frames, so 2 stops total. The T2 is +/-2.0 stops over 3 frames, so 4 stops. But, lets not start that ...

Just to "see" the difference. Point the camera at a fan, a ceilling fan or tabletop fan that is running. Look through the viewfinder. Enable/disable the boost mode. You should be able to see a ...

Ok, thanks! I trust Thom on things Nikon :) Mac

I may be wrong, but I think this info in the Nikon manual about VR is regarding the larger "swinging" type of movements you experience in a boat or helicopter, not the intense shaking and ...

Anything that push a lens beyond its design will degrade IQ. Be it extension tubes, a filter/close-up lens or a TC. The degradation need not be so large that you notice it though. Mac

A bit of a devil's advocate here, but... Fuji's insufficient flash system has been and is well known. Why did you buy into the system if it had no adequate lightning solutions for you? If Fuji ...

Well, Nissin, as most if not all other 3rd party flash brands, do reverse engineer the flash protocols of the camera brands to offer TTL. In other words, it is kind of unsanctioned by Fujifilm. ...

Interesting retrospective. I've never considered lens fads the way you describe the development and it puts things into perspective. Thank you very much for taking the time to write your thoughts! ...

Very interesting musings! The WA look in movies, and at times handheld bouncy cam have been a trend the last 15 years or so. I think or hope it's slowing down and that filmmakers are going back to ...

I like that portrait! I've seen it before. Don't know if it was this forum or somewhere else. I completely agree that the ~90mm FF equivalent perspective is highly useful. I use the 60/2.4 a lot ...

I don't know if its technically speaking better than comparable lenses from other system, but it looks extremely good to my eye. Few or none of its peers focuses that close though without being ...

It's one interesting property or ability of lenses like this. I am intrigued and fascinated by the perspective you get around 100-150mm in FF terms. It is not always that easy to utilize well, but ...

Well, as Fuji tele lenses go, this one is as snappy as it gets. Comparable to the 50-140. The limitations also lie with the bodies, as you know. Wide open at close to moderate distances with moving ...

Thank you, but I just stumble through the light and make images, and I'm never satisfied with my own work. Always so much room for improvement. Judging by your Flickr you are enjoying making images ...

I suspect in technical terms, like if you measure lpm, the 90 will resolve slightly more than the 50-140. But, both are exceptionally sharp, bright, contrasty and very high quality modern lenses. ...

Rest assured, the 90/2 can be forced to show less than ideal OOF areas. I feel it gets a bit messy in situations like this with just the right distance to a background like this. F/4.0 and a ...
