Chris Sarah Dan and Jason by Dave, on FlickrAll great shots Dave. I’ll take a look st the video once we get back to the room. Today was a total wash out for me, camera’s not even been out of the bag.
Very nice Dave...!
Which colour film simulation are you using for these Jazz captures..?

They look good to me, but I don't think I'd have any need for that particular lens myself. They look pretty sharp to me, the second one in particular.The 16-80 lens arrived today, and I am so desperate for it to be ok, as I want to be able to travel with one smallish lens. I dashed on the way home from work for a quick sunset, so much more needs to be tested with it. So this is one from my first shots
X-T3 16-80@16mm with lee filter iso 160 f/16 .5sec
PS - I am so used to Canon lenses which has the manual focus option on the lens, I didn't know how to change this to manual to focus on the boat properly - doh! (have since looked how to)

Just managed to view this, I think it is a good video, the Eterna simulation looks good, in particular in the setting it was filmed. What settings were you using for AF? You seem to have most things in focus, I assume this was on a tripod and you just panned a little with the tripod head?

I will be taking delivery of my gimbal on Saturday so am hoping to try some shots in the next week or so, well once I find a way of sneaking it in the house and convincing the missus I have had it years....
Very good Dave.Normal AF-S and shot hand held.
Very good Dave.![]()
Nice, Ferrari engine bays are very photogenic (not a Fuji shot)

very nice portrait style Fujigraph, really liking the relaxed pose and facial expression.

Very nice photo Dave, was fill-in flash used for this or lighting from within the church?

Though not a fan on the 'RF' style bodies ergonomically, I must admit I do like the look of the Xpro series. I had the pro1 for a while and just couldn't get on with it. I never would have bought one, I won it on @db247 's YT channel, and I was very grateful [wee plug for you there] - I loved the output from the camera, it certainly had a different feel than the XT1 I was also using at the time.
But I like a good grip, I prefer a centred evf also. I can see the attraction to the pro bodies for those who feel otherwise. I just can't get with this xpro3 shenanigans
Two very nice landscape style Fujigraphs, liking them both very much with #2 being my fav’.

Calling all Viltrox 85mm lens owners....!!! Help needed please.
I recently did a firmware update to my Viltrox 85mm lens (v.1.03), then whenever I switch on either the XT2 or XP1 with the Viltrox lens fitted the screen intermittently flickers on and off......somethings not right?
I then downloaded the older firmware v.1.01 and still it flickers on and off, can't work it out....?
Any ideas or thoughts anyone...?
Cheers;
Peter
Amazon informed regards the fault and arranging for return of the Viltrox 85mm and refund etc...Thers a couple of mentions of this on Amazon reviews, but no solutions. Seems like it’s an issue though
Looking like a return to Amazon then...
Peter
Would love to Jon, but my budget wouldn't stretch to a XF90 unfortunately.And get the 90mm f2

Cheers Jon, I'll check that out regards used/second hand, although just checked pricing for the XF90 at E-infinity and it's £589 new, not bad.Keep an eye out used as can find them for a little of £500. Wonderful glass.
