The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Yes, the noise of the 27mm took me a little by surprise but I guess it's something you get used to in time.

I bought it on a whim from the classifieds so I'm not sure yet if I'll keep it or not.

LOL me too, I saw an unused 27mm on Ebay for a good price and my GAS reflex kicked in, it's not a focal length (prime) I've used before, but its tiny so it should get plenty of use.

The silver suits the the X-T10 because they haven't plastered all the rear of the camera in it. A big improvement imo and would definately be the colour of choice for me if i were to have one. A bit like a X100/X-E series cam.

But the X-T1 belongs in black imo. Much better.

Also, agree with Tim about the exposure comp in manual mode...

I like the XT1 in black, but I bought the Silver (graphite) as it's more in keeping with the retro vibe. I'm loving it, but sometimes I look at the black version and wonder ?
 
I find Fuji Raws its more forgiving than the jpegs, but then when I do PP I tend to do a lot. I'm pretty awful at getting it right in camera so have to rescue mistakes or I am trying to be arty. Perhaps for smaller tweaks there is less difference and I agree that camera simulations are better done via jpegs. Lightroom keeps improving how it manages Fuji raw files but it is not perfect yet and the strange treatment of repeating patterns remains even if it is loads better than it used to be.
 
I would shoot raw only if I was able to zoom on camera to check focus. At the moment I soot raw and jpeg but only import the raw files to lightroom. I'm on holiday at the moment and editing on a very aged laptop so it will be interesting to see what I've done when back on a calibrated screen. :eek:
 
I've recovered many highlights and shadows from RAW in LR compared to a JPG. Not so sure about fine detail rendering, I tend not to pixel peep too much plus I use an X-E1 which has the older sensor.
 
The older sensor is nicer to work with in PP imo. The colours seem better to me and Lr doesn't completely transform them on import like it's capable of with the newer sensor.

Really like my little X-E1. The X-T is starting to feel a bit neglected. :LOL:

The problem with Jpeg is everytime you tweak a parameter you introduce more noise, Raw preserves the parameters like a profile. I thought that was the point? Or are fuji raws different? Thanks

No Raw from any camera is without noise. I said, the main benefit of Raw on Fuji is at high iso you can be very precise with noise reduction.

I didn't say raws have no noise, what I mean is everytime you go back to edit a Jpeg you introduce new noise because you're editing what is essentially a photo of a photo, it's flat and destructable. A raw file is supposed to preserve your edits so that they can be undone or tweaked further, a thousand times if needs be and without adding more noise. A Jpeg will only stand so much before you notice degradation.

Dude are you just arguing for the sake of it because your'e not even remotely talking about the same issue from post to post - the question was whether Lightroom was any good for editing Fui Raw files originally, and I answred with my observations on doing just that very specifically.

If you want to try a little game them have a look at my flickr photostream, on the first page there are 12 shots from Raw the rest are all JPEG. See if you can guess which (And 2 are not from an XT1).

Totally but you went on to state that you didn't think there was much advantage to shooting fuji Raw over Jpeg. I just put you straight. My original post was regarding lightrooms ability to handle fuji Raw. You are the one that deviated from my post.

So I guess the question is whether it's a Fuji issue that made PP of the new sensor RAWs worse or just Adobe support of RAW files?

I was all set to buy an X-T10 but maybe it's worth waiting for the next generation sensor?

Wishing for a cut down A7RII sensor - 24MP BSI APS-C with X-Trans sounds very nice thank you very much :)

Courier between 2.30 and 3.30 so at least can relax now

I bet you're not relaxing though Karen. Only an hour-ish to go.:D:D

New X-T10 owners be sure to post up your thoughts on the AF-C speed please. Haven't seen one review yet where someone tests this properly. I would test it myself if a shop anywhere near me had one in stock.
 
All joking aside it's astonishing how far the X series has improved since the XPro1, I still love my XP1, the quality of the jpegs are unreal, but the XT1 is just so much nicer to use. My only complaint is , for me it's a bit small, but I have large hands. I bought a Gariz half case for it this week and it has hugely improved the grip for me. All I need now is a thumb grip, I have a Match technical on my XP1 , it really improves handling, but it's brassing already. Lensmate only make a black one so I'm not sure how it will look on a graphite XT1.

If we're talking Lightroom then edits are totally non destructive - raw or JPEG!
 
Just having a quick play with mine XT-10,havnt had time to go thought it all and set it up how i like,but manager get a few shot,AF seem really good,a bit on the small size maybe people with large hand will need a grip.
Hopefully over the next few days,will be able to have a proper play,with different lens :)
