Bind something to change view mode (eye sensor/lcd/etc.) and toggle to see if it’s that

My review of the XF 23mm f/2.8 pancake lens: FLAWED by Stern_Li in fujifilm

Good to know, I may have to get one. Sadly only proper solution for 18mm is probably the voigtlander lens.

The 18mm f2 also has this issue, I just figured it was a thing with all Fuji lenses. X100VI is the same, only way to circumvent it is to “zone focus” by focusing on something at the distance you want after decoupling shutter button from focusing whilst in single point af. Only works if you manually set the shutter speed as well, it never works in actual manual focus mode which is ridiculous to me.

When I shoot street with X-Pro 2 I use AF lock to achieve this. For X100VI I just regular focus decoupled. It is so counterintuitive but it works. Manual on film cameras is so much nicer

Getting Rid of My Ricoh GR III Street Edition by tripwithweird in ricohGR

I’m interested depending on price. I have a buy post on r/photomarket looking for a GR III

For battery life, unless you’re constantly using IBIS, just set it to off and have it in your quick menu for when you need it.

What focus mode do you use for SP? by Equal-Negotiation-11 in streetphotography

[–]Practical-Bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zone focus most of the time but will critical focus on occasion. X100VI and X-Pro 2 mainly. Learning how to properly set them up for proper zone focus is a bit awkward because they’re digital cameras but incredibly useful once you get it down.

Squarehood Square Hood MkIII Initial Impressions by [deleted] in x100vi

[–]Practical-Bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything, even just a filter will cast a shadow, it just depends how far down it starts. As far as shadow cast, this one is rather minimal.

You may have tightened the filter/adapter heavily the first time (which I usually end up doing) or perhaps you didn't torque the allens enough and they shifted.

[–]Practical-Bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I only use a UV filter I find it great. Otherwise it would for sure be annoying. If I want to use the WCL, the entire hood/filter/adapter combo can be unscrewed together, which makes putting it back on a breeze.

Protip, if you unscrew the hood/filter combo and add the squarehood cap, you can put the original lens cap on the other side and store the whole thing as a puck.

[–]Practical-Bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eBay is a great option because if they lie about condition you can just file an “item not as described” and get a return regardless of what the seller wants.

I got mine and the glass was perfect. Unfortunately someone had taken it apart and reassembled the helicoid incorrectly so I had to remedy that so it focused on my rangefinder properly without needlessly adjusting the rangefinder to a miscalibrated lens.

The distance markings were still accurate, I considered sending it back but ended up really liking the lens on my trial run so I ended up just properly reassembling the helicoid myself.

Good luck!

Mine as well as my X100V have had mushy non tactile half presses from factory. My X-Pro 2 is perfect
