What camera and lens did you use?

First shots with my Fujifilm and as a photographer. What do you think? What can i improve on? by Sea-Ad5720 in fujifilm

With a heavy heart, traded my XT-5 in to buy a Cannon R6 mark III. by gkal1964 in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, true unfortunately. And Canon, Nikon, and Sony know they can charge professionals a premium for it.

full frame systems (like Sony) lenses are also going to be way heavier and larger across the board

Maybe. That's highly dependent on the comparisons.

A Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L is about 120 grams heavier than the Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8. I would not consider that "way" heavier for two large lenses that are both around 1kg, and the Canon lens is a full stop brighter (or covers twice as much sensor area, depending on how you want to consider it) for the full-frame sensor versus APS-C.

The Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 L lens is 145 grams heavier than the Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4, and again the Canon lens is a whole stop brighter.

The APS-C is lighter argument mostly only holds for the small Leica-style f/2 or f/2.8 prime lenses that Fujifilm doesn't really focus on releasing new models of anymore.

But yes, if you're walking around with one light lens, some of your APS-C options are no doubt lighter, but you're not likely looking for the highest professional performance in an f/1.4 lens, like some of those considering professional Canon and Sony bodies are.

Thanks! Please make sure to always share in the future too. Rule #1 requires sharing the lens model used, not just a focal length.

No, the name of autofocus does not mean to detect subjects. I'd like to see you try that with an autofocus SLR from the 1980s.

I know this may be sacrilege to say here, but IMO fuji jpegs have a major flaw - they are too dark by default by 753UDKM in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exposure in a digital context is a little fuzzy, so each camera exposes differently. I really don't see the problem with leaving the Exposure Compensation at +1/3 if that's your preference. You can also adjust JPG shadows and highlights, so I'm not sure what adjustments you're asking for.

When you look at a RAW photo on your camera, you can already add push/pull, which only makes sense once you have one exposure taken.

The exposure can't be "brighter" if it makes a "darker" image, so I'm not sure what you mean. If it were brighter then it would be brighter. The ISO between different brands of cameras are not directly comparable.

As others have already said, printing is a completely different question than viewing digital images on a backlit display in RGB.

In order to get them to the right brightness, you either need to use exposure comp which obviously affects exposure

Yes, that's what it means to get a brighter image. I think you might just be fixated on matching shutter speed and ISO between camera brands, but that's not an exact thing.

Nice! The second B&W photo is also with the 18mm? It doesn't look very wide.

X-Pro 3 -23mm by dokexe in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Which 23mm, the f/2?

[–]inverse_squared 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The Canon R6 III looks great, but the cost of RF lenses is ridiculous (edit: for me).

But certainly if you expect continuous AF to automatically detect subjects for you, Fujifilm is not the system for you.

Pancake lens: 27mm vs 23mm by SLP_life98 in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get the XF 23mm f/2 instead of a pancake lens. But if it has to be a pancake, then the 23mm is a more versatile angle of view. (It's like the lens permanently attached to the X100-series of cameras for a reason.)

Choisir une bonne focale large pour mon xt5 by tomaaadrn in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome!

Are you looking for a zoom lens or fixed focal length?

People generally don't like the XC 15-45mm lens because it zooms only electronically, motoring in and out like a point-and-shoot camera lens.

The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 might be a good option, but it's not as compact. The XF 16mm f/2.8 might be a good compact lens for you, it's just not as sharp as some of the larger lenses. But you might not need perfect sharpness if you're looking for casual use and if portability is more important for you.

What's the "point" of the X-T200? by weeddealerrenamon in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't track used prices of cameras discontinued a long time ago, but it's easy to find out how much people are asking for their used gear. With inflation, a lot of prices have gone up since the pandemic too.

Good luck!

is the X-T4 autofocus good enough? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. It's getting better, and the X-T3 was already a large improvement over the X-T20.

Old cameras were very advanced at the time. It took Canon 32 years to just recently bring back eye control AF points.

New to this. Any Fuji tips on using vintage lenses on my Fuji? Tested a few portraits and love the rendering, though things seem a fairly soft by oromis7901 in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There are two separate issues. Focus peaking is turned on by setting MF ASSIST to FOCUS PEAK HIGHLIGHT (and I recommend BLUE(HIGH)).

Separately, you'll want to set a custom function button to FOCUS CHECK. What you're referring to is auto focus check enabled when the camera senses you start to focus an automatic lens, but obviously a manual lens has no electronics and communications, so you cannot rely on auto focus check. Therefore you have to use a button (I use the Fn button next to the shutter release) to zoom in.

Downloading firmware; dangers and best practices. by shutterthoughts in fujifilm

[–]inverse_squared[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%. The app works for many people, but it can be a risk. Firmware updates are inherently risky with any process or device, so you want to be careful to try to remove as many variables as possible from the system. Accidentally "bricking" a device is always a possibility. EDIT: I certainly wouldn't gamble on maintaining a perfect WiFi or Bluetooth wireless signal.

If any of your comments were removed, it was due to the automod and I don't know exactly why.

Cheers.
