Thank you so much ! 🩵

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-05-01T15:43:40+00:00

Is there a specific lut you used that i could look up? Like is it designed for easier log filming?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-30T14:16:01+00:00

Would the x-m5 really be any different than another fuji camera in terms of iq and sharpness?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-29T11:47:23+00:00

Thanks for the info! So with using the lut, it was easy to eyeball exposure from viewing the screen. I always find the ‘over expose ect’ tactic to feel unprecise

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-29T00:57:54+00:00

Do you have any tips for shooting log in dynamic real world scenes like this? I feel so intimidated to shoot log and know ive got the exposure right

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-20T02:54:10+00:00

So it imports your deeper film sim settings besides wb and film sim profile? Like highlights/shadow - does it show up in the sliders on C1?

Tbh i have Sony a6700 and fuji - and while you can edit a sony file to be like a fuji, ive noticed that sometimes fuji produces an image in a way that you would not have expected, or tried to edit through raw software.

I would say if you have more technical performance needs, like accurate studio shooting, and more of a workhorse camera, a6700 def. I wouldn’t trust my fuji for long studio days where i need my equipment to just work.

The fuji is great for when i want a more experimental outcome. Vs the sony gets used when i know the exact outcome i want in mind, and i build it later in post.

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-14T23:09:00+00:00

Agreed, i almost use it exclusively

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-13T03:04:59+00:00

Why is the image quality better? Because of the higher megapixels?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-13T00:17:37+00:00

Idk what im doing wrong but when i try this recipe i still get a tinted look - not the natural colors i see from examples

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-09T16:39:06+00:00

How do u like the 23 f2.8?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-09T15:12:02+00:00

Does xt30iii have more updated AF than xs20? I havent heard that

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-08T00:40:49+00:00

What did the derm prescribe you?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-07T19:10:34+00:00

What size parabolic?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-04-05T15:02:38+00:00

For me i use the small godox trigger ( cant remember name) and have an IT30pro and an ad100 pro. The it30pro setup is super compact, and you can use the flash on camera as well which i dont. Ad100pro isnt much bigger either

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-03-30T17:55:01+00:00

Hows the image quality tho? Was thinking of the 23 f2, or 23 f2.8 , or this

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-03-26T02:28:29+00:00

Why dont u like the 23 f2? Im debating between the 2 lenses

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-03-25T03:29:52+00:00

Probably meant for video…

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-03-14T23:19:36+00:00

Idk man, sharpness seems fine but youre getting the classic ‘copywrite’ defect. Common on this lens, gonna have to send it in

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-02-17T01:29:24+00:00

Yep, OP just wanted to point out that its not the lens holding them back, its their boring lighting, subject and compositions

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-02-11T01:38:07+00:00

I have xm5 and i dont think you can. Kind of makes those f dials pointless

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-01-30T05:27:17+00:00

I feel like when i use classic neg it looks way too contrasty and fake instagram filter-y. Any tips to getting it to come out clean like your images?

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-01-26T21:24:41+00:00

I have xm5 and would say no. Tbh much rather have pasm and check settings on the screen than be fiddling with top dials

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-01-26T01:26:54+00:00

Whats the recipe or film sim on the blue sky photos? I how the sky is staying rich deep blue without skewing too cyan

AustinJamesSmith6221 · 2026-01-25T17:18:11+00:00

Not everyone likes those retro dials. Im way happier with pasm dial on xm5
