The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Never really been into bird photography but when wandering around with a 100-400 it presents opportunities, nothing exciting but loving this lens and it's performance.

Great shot Sir, with good comp', and fine detail.(y)

George.
 
Reprocessed a dozen shots from the old A7R... now I remember why I dispensed with it, so painfully slow going. And now the upload to Flickr is taking forever too!

I like that a lot!

Thanks Stephen, sometimes I look at a batch of images and think meh so what, then a few months later some of them look a lot better, maybe it's my artistic side coming out :D

Lovely detail as always George, curious what the free sample was?

Aye, that could be a bit weird.

Do you find you miss any of the dials like ISO or is it unbalanced with any of your lenses?

I tend to use Auto ISO most of the time, so I've not really missed that dial, It's only a minor frustration if I'm doing studio stuff (which is rare). I have a faux leather half case on the X-T10 which beefs up the handling enough for the larger lenses, I do find it a bit small without it. That said, I don't have any massive lenses like the f/2.8 zooms or 100-400mm.
 
Actually I'm the same, either auto or 400 ISO 90% of the time.
I am considering the 100-400 though, still the XT-20 was actually in a basket today, but given I'd not have had it for the weekend most likely didn't end up pressing the button.

A few more from last Sunday. These are all with Velvia and I can't decide if I like it or not, it's a bit too much?

I think you 'need' selective Velvia!!!! Velvia is great for punchy colours, especially on the target object, but in this case its brought out IMO too much 'green' in the surrounding areas, which distracts the eye from looking at the bikes.

Yes, it's too much everything really. I don't use it because of that normally, it just reminds me of one of those hideous settings you can select on a TV for ultra colours that just burn your retinas :D
 
QUESTION: Is it possible to use Fuji X mount lenses on a Canon body (either EF/EF-S)?

I've got an X-T2 with a few lenses but also have a Canon 70D IR converted but I have no lenses. You see where I'm going with this?

Everytime I try to Google the answer it's always EF lenses to Fuji bodies so I'm assuming the answer is no but am ever hopeful.

I hope you can. I have a 40D that is IR converted and am also looking to use Fuji lenses. I've looked, like you, but come up with the same answers.

The answer is no because the flange focal distance on the Fuji is less than on the Canon bodies. Lenses can only be adapted from larger flange focal distances to smaller (hence the spacer type adapters for adapting lenses to the Fuji X bodies)

This isn't strictly true, you can adapter lenses to fit any flange distance, but you may not be able to focus correctly (ie infinity) afterwards, a larger falnge distance will have the same effect as extension tubes, so possibly great for macro work!!

I wouldn't go there for reasons outlined above, and the fact that most Fuji lenses have noticable IR hotspots. A lot of your shots are tripod based, so just buy a Hoya R72 for a quick and dirty fix.

:ty:
I should have known that you would know the answer:banana:

Next question...the Hoya filter. Is it designed for B&W? It is rated at 720nm which I think is B&W, but cannot remember exactly:eggface:
