The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I also asked the seller, when would the fuji camera prices increase and he told me that it would depend on the amount of stock they would have... when they sell all the old stock they , then, will increase the prices... does it make sense?

Yep, fairly common, they paid a lower price for the stock they currently have in store, increase the price when their price they pay increases. To be fair I aside from the X-Pro 2 I don't think we'll see increases on the camera's themselves, the XT2 already has it priced in and anything else is more likely to be discounted now, the lenses will likely to up at least a little though.
 
Haven't taken many shots with the XT2 yet, spent the weekend up in Pitlochry but the lure of a hot-tub and beer kept me from too much photography!
Did manage to squeeze in a visit to Queens View which is a viewpoint on Loch Tummel, you can see almost 80 miles away to the mountains at Glencoe on the horizon.
Loving the straight out of camera JPEGS!

Has anyone compared the acros directly from camera with the acros from silver efex pro?

I have to admit I didn't realise there was a profile for Efex, I would give it a try if I knew where to find it.
 
Query;

I'm using the latest version of Adobe Lightroom 5, how come if I shoot 'Classic Chrome' simulation in both Raw + Jpeg via Fuji X body LR5 doesn't seem to have Classic Chrome as a selective preset...? Anyone else have this problem ??

Thanks;
Peter

Possibly because it's LR5. The presets only came in with LR6.

I shoot RAW + JPEG and use LR5 to edit and all the XT1 presets are their. I m not sure why you can't access them. Have you had this problem before?

No but I have tried it against real film images, and it's pretty damn good!

Excellent. I was wondering if I was missing much by not having one of the latest bodies with an acros simulation but converted a shot to BW yesterday and noticed I had chosen the acros preset in Silver Efex as a starting point. This alternative route will do for me, I think.

Is this with the X-T1 Peter? I'm on Lightroom 5.7.1 and it works fine. Obviously images from the X Pro 1 and X-E1 are not supported as they use an older processor (so Adobe doesn't support that profile for them either).

It's with the X-E2 body. I've never known the Classic Chrome to ever been there.
 
Slightly off topic but who is keeping tabs on Photokina today for Fuji's rumoured announcement of a mirrorless MF camera?
 
Just got this new toy. Borrowed from a friend! eheh

Calibrating my screen ready to start shooting and editing with the xt 2!

guys any advise on small camera bags (literally to carry the camera and a lens and a few accesories ) and it can go inside a normal backpack?

Expecting an X200 announcement as wel (X100T with new sensor)
Click to expand...

The X200 will be one hell of a camera. I saw a rumour last night that the majority of the XT2's had gone to Photokina to be sold. As I've been without a camera for nearly 2 weeks now I've just managed to order an XE2 and 18-55 from the Fuji Refurb store, I wanted an 18-55 anyway so at least I have a camera now!!!!

X100T replacement should be good but not expecting it to be launched until next year now, if its going to use the same 24mp sensor as the X-Pro 2/ XT2
 
For those who are interested I've found out where you can get a % value for your battery level remaining.
If you press the Disp/Back button you will alternate the viewfinder/rear screen display. On one of them you will get the % remaining shown against your battery on the very top line.
Could be useful for some.
