Got the X-T10 out and about again... Oxford Canal this evening. It was really dark - 3 mins at f/8 and could probably have gone 4 or more.

Love that Dave. Nice one. I would perhaps like to see the bridge on the right a little more into the frame as I think it's a bit too tight for my own liking, but otherwise, really like it with the reflections. Good job mate.

A couple of snaps from a session today in my wee studio ... X-T1 with 18-55 lens

I think the XT1 and 18-55 is a great combo - the XT1 in particular is often overshadowed by the T2 but the T1 is just as capable as it always was and these results show that it's still a great camera.

Yeah, it has it's moments! :D Apart from the odd instance of smearing and waxiness (we won't go back down that well trodden road!), it performs very well. For a so called "kit lens" it is excellent. TBH, I'm wondering if it worth investing in a more dedicated portrait lens like the 56 or 50, seeing as I only shoot between f5.6 and f8 in my wee studio sessions. Would I get that much more fine detail?

You should let Fugi know about the problem, i am sure that they would like to know about any problems using their kit associated with the film industry, as at last they are showing interest in that area. May be they have resolved it in the XH1.

I have let them know my issues. From looking at pictures of the XH1, the button looks more like what you'd find on a nikon/sony so I imagine it's better. I'm back to the blimp for the time being and waiting on what Sony brings out this year.
 
Just tried my X-T2 (and X-30) alongside my D750 and can't hear the shutter button on any of them. The shutter release of the D750 (whole cycle including mirror slap and shutter) is louder than the Fujis' shutter.

Here is a short video I did for somebody discussing the same thing.

I can't here anything when I press my shutter button when using the ES in silent mode. It's quite strange sitting in a hide, all tooled up with a long lens & grip, only for the camera to not make any noise when you're firing at a rate of knots!! :confused: :fuji:

Edit: Wrong link originally posted!!

You do shoot (and/or process) a good, clean, well-toned mono photo, George. :)

Was he playing flamenco George?

Not actually Flamenco Sir, but a kinda Classical & Pop mixture, and extremely good he was too. Well worth my contribution to his pot.(y)

Thank you kindly Sir, I sure do appreciate your reply.(y)

“Very little PP work done on this snap, mainly just cloning out the rubbish on the paving, setting black & white points, and upping the contrast a bit”

Cheers both! And Dec, you're right. it is a bit tight. But it was pretty dark and I was short of time (last shot I took that day). Another time I may get out the 10-24 and have a few more options... :-)

Another from yesterday. I think that this is my fav from the session. I'm kicking myself for getting so tight at the bottom though! - X-T2 with 18-55

Very good portrait Fujigraph Sir, nicely lit, good pose, and a fine mono presentation giving a full range of punchy tones, tight framing or not it works for me.(y)

George.

That is a great capture :)

Thanks folks - I must confess it was a second attempt. I had been up there a couple of mornings earlier in a slightly different position and something was off about composition - had to revisit and get the tripod into a fairly awkward position to get this angle, but worth it I think.

Here's a very different image from the same city - taken looking directly up at the dome of St Stephen's Basilica. The decor was just gorgeous.

Another “Excellent” Fujigraph Sir, perfect composition, spot on exposure & colour, and so much detail.(y)
