    XPro2 visits Bourton on the water

    With all that fanaticis... erm... dedication to our craft going round, I always like to think of Gavin's contributions as "photography for the rest of us". I'm as picky and opinionated about gear and technique as the next guy but from time to time, I also appreciate the unpretentious clean fun...

    Fuji What is a good solid bag?

    Fair enough. If the bag was not labeled as a messenger bag when you purchased it, then naturally our entire discourse is moot. I did not read their literal response, but from what you posted it does in fact seem a bit crass, especially when they really did not explicitly sell it as a messenger...

    Fuji What is a good solid bag?

    I use my Bowery (which is essentially a baby Brixton) as a shooting bag (as opposed to a transportation bag), so I personally don't see it as form over function. The bag is exactly what I need it to be. But in the end, it all depends on what, where and how you shoot, as well as what you expect...

    Fuji Sorry - had to pull the plug on Tapatalk + forum app

    Fair enough, that list of grievances is certainly more extensive than it should be. I guess it's a double edged sword. They do provide a simple, user friendly (IMO) and consolidated platform to read, post and be notified for a large number of resources with often wildly varying and suboptimal...

    Fuji What is a good solid bag?

    But it was Bill. It was described as messenger bag, which is a cross-body design by definition. You are essentially blaming the manufacturer for your unawareness of this fact. Because it is not unsuitable for this purpose. In fact, I frequently wear it this way. But as they say, your mileage...

    Fuji What is a good solid bag?

    But where did Ona tell you what to do? Quoting from your own post, they said: I don't see any issue with that statement in light of the accepted definition of a messenger bag. And from what I can tell, neither the Hadley nor the Tarras are marketed as such. The way I see it, messenger bags...

    Fuji Sorry - had to pull the plug on Tapatalk + forum app

    All the links from your Google query now produce a 404 error on tapatalk.com. This leads me to believe that their intention is not to plagiarise content, but to present it under a uniform/homogenous UI design, just like they do with the app. Also, they only seem to provide a preview of each...

    Fuji What is a good solid bag?

    I think we may be onto something here. :) I am quite confident that Ona (and possibly other manufacturers as well) do not explicitly state how to wear a messenger bag because they believe this is inherent to the concept: A messenger bag (also called a courier bag) is a type of sack, usually...

    Fuji What is a good solid bag?

    Odd how the dividers were fixed in your Brixton. I own an Ona Bowery as well as a Hadley Pro and both have dividers of the ubiquitous (re)movable velcro variety and identical thickness. The product images of the Brixton I found online suggest that its dividers are the same as those in my Bowery...

    Not sure if that analogy holds water. Deciding on a noodle meal will affect maybe half a day of your life. Deciding on a camera however...

    Fuji Anyone else do HDR

    At the risk of splitting hairs: it's not HDR that you have issues with, but with the results of the tone mapping process that follows it. HDR is just a means to capture a broader dynamic range, it doesn't have any aesthetic qualities in and of itself. Like with many things related to...

    Fuji Has anyone made the switch from Micro 4/3 to a Fuji X?

    I didn't know that the 35-100 was also weather sealed. I checked the specs on the B&H site and it wasn't listed there like it was for the 40-150. So you do have point. :-) As for the dials, I just configure them once when I get a new camera (both function and direction) and never bother with...

    Fuji Has anyone made the switch from Micro 4/3 to a Fuji X?

    The E-M1's viewfinder is supposedly quite nice (never used one, so I can only go on what reviewers seem to agree on) and the control wheels can be configured any way you like on the high end Olympus bodies. As for the lens weight/size: the 40-150 is an Olympus lens which is probably a better...

    That begs the question what "proper" entails and if we should subsequently pooh-pooh anything that does not conform to this definition.

    Fuji Really having trouble choosing a bag for X system

    Fully agree with the aforementioned virtues of the Hadley Pro, although I wouldn't put an X100 in one of its front pockets. It does hold a lot of stuff though and pretty much maxes out at the weight I'm prepared to carry on a typical day trip these days. But I generally don't pack it to the brim...

    Fuji Pow Wow with my X-T10

    Don't know if you have posted about this already, but could you elaborate a bit on your reasoning behind switching from the X100S + X-E2 to an X-T10? I own an X100 (original) and X-E2 myself and have been contemplating this move as well.

    Fuji The 90mm F2 lens

    I think we already established that, but you brought up OIS in this context and that is what I responded to. Fair enough, but how does that explain that Bill is unable to replicate the behaviour that's under discussion here? Interesting. What sort of support would be required from a camera...

    Fuji The 90mm F2 lens

    I definitely don't make a habit out of shaking my lenses, vigorously or otherwise. But something in my 90 clunks both audibly and tangibly when I very gently turn it upside down. No idea as to why this seemingly does not affect all copies, at least not in equal measures.
  36. C

    Fuji The 90mm F2 lens

    Are we still discussing the XF 90? Because that lens does not have OIS which is why people have been concerned about something clunking around inside the barrel. And FWIW, none of my Canon IS lenses exhibited this behavior.

    Fuji The 90mm F2 lens

    Oh, the noise I'm referring to is far from faint. I can distinctly hear (and feel) something moving inside the lens barrel when I turn it upside down. No abuse or even shaking required. It sounds/feels like a lens group is not properly secured after the focus motor is powered off and is sliding...

    Fuji The 90mm F2 lens

    That's quite curious. To my knowledge, you are the first to explicitly confirm that their XF 90 does not have something clunking around inside the lens when it is not attached to the camera, or the camera is turned off. In fact, in another forum, someone claimed to have a statement from Fuji...

    Are you saying that there is no noise if you (gently) shake the lens or turn it upside down while it is not attached to the camera?

    Fuji Sharpening of RAF files before/after?

    Both. :) You can apply "pre-sharpening" in the RAW converter to make the image appear sufficiently sharp when viewed at 100%. After you finished your processing, you then apply the appropriate amount of sharpening for the intended output medium (print or screen) and size.

    Fuji Focus tips with 56 1.2

    Articles are great to underpin academic principles, but in the end it's the result that counts.

In...

    Organizing batteries in your bag

    Or that they do a lot of long exposures using live view? Or that they go on multi-day hikes with no opportunity to charge every day? Or... or... Anyway, is it really necessary to second guess and criticize other people's motives?

    Organizing batteries in your bag

    That addresses a concern I had with this approach (how do you know which batteries are empty if you switched from the highest numbered one back to #1 in the field). I'm not sure if I'll remember to make a (mental) note of the in-camera battery number each time I go out, but other than that this...
