Fuji x100

Still loving my X100, took this yesterday. Converted in PhotoShop from jpeg.

is there a way to change the colour of the focus peaking on the X100s (I'm guess not)? White seems like a daft colour to me and it was always bright green on my 5d running magic lantern.

Sadly not.

Hmmm that and a lack of 4:5 crop seem to be oversights.

Very nice Trevor

Very nice Trevor

Thanks Dave. I'm learning to colour manage my black and white conversions.

I agree about focus peaking, but if you need a 4:5 crop can't you use pp

 

[Bennp2000]

Not to compose I can't.

raw files ... are great all the way to iso 6400.

AFAIK the the X100 only goes up to 1600ISO the 3200/6400 option is just a 1600ISO with +1 or 2 stops in the JPEG processing. A 6400 ISO RAW is just a 2 stop underexposed at 1600ISO.

 

[Lee_weir]

The x100s produces correctly exposed quality raw files at iso 6400. What wizardry it uses to do this I have no idea!?!

I was unexpectedly away from home last week and love the fact that the Fuji is so easy to just throw in a bag.

Does anyone here use the VSCO (04 so slide film) profiles for the X100 or X100s? I'm wondering if its worth a look compared to Alienskin Exposure 4 (which I love but I'd prefer something inside of LR4).

Yup, been using it for past 6 months, still enjoy it. Few examples for you.

Yep - I'm using it quiet a lot for my x100s with tweaks

Just ordered a hood/filter adaptor, a cable release, spare battery, a 10 stop nd filter and an IR filter for the X100. Its going to be fun but if theres anything I shoud know in advance that will save me endless amounts of frustration it would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Bennp2000]

You probably could've got away with a lesser ND filter and used the built-in one for more flexibility? I found / find my 10 stop (Hitech) way too much.

[Bennp2000]

Does anyone have any case recommendations for the X100s that isn't a half / ever ready type? It doesn't suit what mine will be used for (i.e. it'll get trashed like that).
Thanks.

 

[strumstrum]

looking around the used/refurb places it looking about £300ish difference between the X100 and the 'S'; worth the extra?

Is slightly better IQ, menu system and improved AF in decent light worth twice the price. If not, no.

no worries just plummeted for the Pro 1 instead whilst the free lens deal is on.

Ta for the info tho.

No problem, same thing I wouldve and did do. It is a very good deal. Enjoy the camera.

Bought an X100 today, can't wait for it to arrive! Came with a few extras too which should stop me having to buy them. Official Fuji case, 3 batteries, lens hoods, genuine thumbs up and soft release... excited is not the word!

Lens flare? What lens flare.....

Playing with lens flare at Salisbury Cathedral (had a clear filter on). I quite like the effect...

Just received my black x100s today....can't wait to use it......any recommendations for a case that will fit with the lens hood on?
Thanks

Notice you are climbing in your photo. I've done quite a bit of climbing/scrambling with my X100s and have found a Kata pouch to be ideal. Bought it brand new on ebay about a year ago for a fiver. It's the Kata Macro KB and its a neoprene type pouch that will the X100s, a spare card and two spare batteries. It's very protective and can be worn on a belt but I usually hang it around my neck with a thin piece of cord so it is easily accessible but out of the way. This is fine on easy climbs and scrambles; last year I did the Cuillin Ridge on Skye using this set up.

 

[Bennp2000]

Yes, its not likely to come on the majority of routes with me/us though (the S95 sometimes proves too heavy / big to justify even at its small size), it's more that it'll likely be thrown in a pack to various places (where I can't justify a DSLR).

The Manfrotto Nano VI pouch also looks like a good contender (cheap too).

I'm currently deciding whether or not to shoot an event on sat with the X100s or the 5dII. The former will sync way faster with my wireless flash triggers and with the built in ND I can shoot wide open. However, I've not had time to test this setup and I'd be learning on the fly (I also loose remote power adjustment).

With the 5dII I'll be syncing at 1/160 (slllooowwww) but retain all control of power levels etc.

Decisions decisions.

Hi
Can anyone recommend a lens cap that fits OVER the lens hood rather than a pinch one that goes inside it?
Thanks
JohnyT

 

[Bennp2000]

David Hobby goes with a (good) UV filter and then with hood, without cap. This may or may not suit you.

 

[Johnytuono]

Thanks...decided to try a 49mm pinch cap instead, to fit inside the hood...prob be more secure.

Wahey. I'm joining the x100s owners club. Just ordered mine from the Fuji refurb shop with the 10% discount code and got the leather case and a memory card for less than £750 delivered. Can't wait!

 

[Johnytuono]

Took a couple of indoor test shots last night.....very impressed at 3200 (didn't try any higher) and just love the almost silent shutter, reminds me of my old XA3 film camera.

[Bennp2000]

Higher is just internally processed to be such (as in 3200 +1EV).

Have ordered an x100s from digitalrev - tracking it now - due after the weekend! This is in addition to Nikon 600 and 7100 - both a bit heavy to carry everywhere - it seems when I do take them with me I take the wrong body ! and/or the wrong lens - Sooooooooooooo - the idea is always take the Fuji and when i'm expecting to take images one or other of the Nikons. Any other Nikon users doing the same . ?

Not me. If I take the X100 it's always the only thing I carry. It's extremely capable...just ordered the X-T1 though...

That's right Dave. X100 eats the Sun....neat trick with the filter though..

Love that Colin. That's the beauty of this camera. Goes anywhere, shoots (almost) everything.

Hi
I was under the impression that any ISO above base (200 in this case) was internally processed with the + EV....happy to be proved wrong though.
