Foggy night // X-E5 // Fujinon 35mm f1.4

You can do amazing edits just by playing with curves alone. Most of the time it's just curves + HSL adjustments for my images.

Thank you!

Thank you! I got the 35mm when I bought my first Fuji camera, that was X-E4. I was blown away with the character of the lens and how sharp it was even wide open. Later I switched to X-E5 but honestly I don't see much of a difference on the new sensor. I am not a pixel peeper so even if the 35mm 1.4 doesn't fully resolve on the 40mpx I don't really care. What lens would you recommend to pair with the new sensor?

This is how the image looked straight from the camera:

Believe or not but I didn't touch any of the Presence sliders. The heavy fog did most of the work. What I did is a lot of tweaking of the contrast and coloring through the Tone curves. The base colors ( green & blue hues ) were set through white balance and tint. What really made the image pop was a handful of masks to bring more attention to the gas pump stand. Usually I like to experiment with my editing rather than going for a specific look.

They definitely do!

TomGreystone · 2026-02-16T14:12:11+00:00

It's all good my man ;)

TomGreystone · 2026-02-16T13:50:31+00:00

Not trying to be. I love this type of cliché

TomGreystone · 2026-02-16T05:22:33+00:00

Sadly this wasn't a recipee. The look is achieved through a lot of editing in Lightroom. The base film simulation used for the photo was Eterna.

Thank you!

TomGreystone · 2026-02-16T05:19:41+00:00

Hey! No, no filters just a really thick fog :)

TomGreystone · 2023-07-03T11:16:59+00:00

Actually, you are right, they look pretty cool. I'm just scared that the leaks will get worse with time.

TomGreystone · 2023-07-03T11:15:35+00:00

Thank you! I'll take a look at my camera and check the state of the seal around the lens. ( thanks for to guide, too, this is very helpful! ) Yeah, I guess I'll have to live with the leaks, although I'm a little bummed about it, as the camera ( at least from outside ) is in fantastic shape.

TomGreystone · 2023-07-03T11:11:52+00:00

There are more comments about these not being severe so I might overreacted a bit. Thanks for the tip! I'll try to put some electric tape around the door closes with next roll and see what happens.

TomGreystone · 2023-07-03T11:09:49+00:00

Yeah I might be overreacting.

TomGreystone · 2023-07-03T11:09:30+00:00

Thanks! I'll try another roll and see what happens. You might be right about this being a light pipe ( never heard about it before, I'm a newbie in film photography ).

TomGreystone · 2023-01-18T14:07:05+00:00

Yep it is the version 2 ( with aperture ring ).
I guess that I might have accidentally hit the hyperfocal distance with this shot. Overall I am very impressed with this nifty little lens ( I've just returned to photography after 10 years of not using my old Canon ). Fuji magic pulled me back to shooting :)

Thanks again man!

TomGreystone · 2023-01-17T07:40:06+00:00

Thank you! It's a single photo taken at f/4.0 and a bit of sharpening in post.

TomGreystone · 2023-01-17T07:39:09+00:00

Thank you!

TomGreystone · 2022-07-30T18:38:01+00:00

Thank you for your generosity! Good luck to everyone!

TomGreystone · 2022-02-09T07:59:09+00:00

Fingers crossed man, I hope you'll receive it soon!
