Thanks! I'm slowly starting to make more sense... 23mm 1.4 video should be next, put some samples together today. Typically I'm late to the party regarding YT vids but hey, it's all fun.

I've been messing about in my studio at home with an X-T2 etc, and all I can say is I'm absolutely blown away with the image quality that can be obtained from these cameras.

X-T2, 105mm Micro Nikkor Lens, 1/125th @ F11, ISO-200, Multi Flash with 1st Curtain Sync & Longish Exposure.

If I was to go back to Nikon, it would probably be for the D500 and stick to cheaper DX lenses. Much as I loved the D800, I felt it really desired the highest end glass to make the best of it. And this meant expensive and heavy. 2 of the main reasons I switched away from it. If I hadn't gone to Fuji, I'd have gotten a DX Nikon I think. Like the D7100. And started saving for the 500

Problem is the rubbish selection of DX lenses

Fuji glass is the probably the best for APS-C :)

There's nothing to stop any DX Nikon user buying cheaper FX lenses though. Like the 24mm 1.8, the 85mm 1.8, there's also good third party support from Sigma and Tamron. The likes of the Sigma 18-35 1.8 [imagine that on Fuji!] and for a lot cheaper, one of my old fav lenses for crop, the old Tamron 17-50 2.8, which can be got cheap as chips.

That is the only thing I don't like about Fuji, lack of third party support, because it would draw more users in, and the used market would be a lot better

Possibly. There is some good DX glass though, and don't forget Sigma have started doing some really nice APS-C lenses.

Very interesting DOF. I checked your EXIF. You are using a 55mm lens with f1.0?

Normally I would expect a very tight focus plane at f1.0 - instead the foreground is out of focus, and about 15 foot in, tight focus right up to the background. Was it really f1.0 or more like f18?
Click to expand...

Err, no. :-) This is a manual lens, so only the shutter speed is accurately recorded by the camera. The focal length in the EXIF is whatever I have the camera set to when a lens isn't mounted (that was 55mm but I've lately corrected to 50mm so that it's right more often). And the f/1.0 is simply the X-T10 saying it has no idea what aperture I used. So it's a 50mm Pentax-K f/1.4, used with a Lens Turbo II, which gives it almost an extra stop of light without affecting DoF. I've tried to put some of this info into the Flickr tags so that people are less confused :-)

I didn't record what aperture I took this at, but it was probably f/2, maybe f/2.8. What did I focus on? Don't remember. Originally, it would have been a patch of ground that I was waiting for someone to walk into. But sometimes I just have to improvise as the situation develops. I think the nearest people are reasonably sharp, but it's hard to be sure in such a dark picture. I think the background is deceptive. If you look at the lights on the Christmas tree, they're not that in focus at all. It's just the clean lines of the building that make it feel sharper, I think.

Well it's a pity we won't be seeing your images in this thread. But I'm sure they'll still be good, wherever they end up posted :D Enjoy whatever you end up with!
 
A bit of more conventional street photography. For once I managed to start shooting before all light had faded from the sky, meaning this was shot at about f/4 and 1/125, and everything looks a bit sharper. Still slightly front focused, but not bad for street photography on a moving target with a manual lens... I do like the combination of wet pavements and street lights, never fails to get me out of the house!

That's a Cracker! Lovely light, as you say wet pavements always add a nice dimension. It looks like she has a spotlight on her, really stands out from the dreary scene. Love it.

Nice subject George and beautifully lit, even down to the catchlights in the berries and the highlights on the "recepticle" on the candleholder itself.

I really should dig my nissin and diffuser out once in a while.

Edit: nicely done on the flame too, I always struggle to expose candle flames.

Cheers Jimmy! Yes, it was thoughtful of her to carry a monochrome umbrella, and the orange streetlamp turned it into a nice illuminator :-)
