    Anyone had any success with Topaz Sharpen AI?

    I've used it on a number of soft images and it's worked really well. I guess it depends on your subject. Faces it seems to work well

    Backpack spec

    You can do this with it. Stick 2 legs in the side pocket and a supplied compression strap at the top.

    X-T1 constantly taking photos

    I'd try turning it on in firmware update mode and seeing what it does, then re-do the firmware.

    If you picked one up from the classifieds for a decent price i'm sure you could sell it for pretty much the same price if you didn't get on with it

    The Fuji primes practically weigh next to nothing. Fuji 35mm 1.4 187g. Canon 35mm 1.4 760g Sigma 35mm 1.4 665g

    That's the catch, tough one. Just get an Sony A9 and be done with it ;)

    I've found it depends on the lens. Sigma 35 1.4 works great, as does 24-70 2.8 and 70-200, 24-105 f4 no point using it. Expensive glass works well :) Still for travel I'd prefer the much smaller fuji and lens combo

    AF with adapters is hit and miss with metabones, not bad but no where like native lenses. Agree with the raw processing though, Fuji files seem to take twice as long as A7rii files. Fuji jpegs are nice though if you don't plan on shooting raw

    EVFs are comparable, I wouldn't put anyone better than the other, both very good. The Fuji is faster in terms of use for things like street photography, the joystick is great for moving AF. Moving AF on the Sony is slow and often you can end up spinning the wheel slightly instead of clicking it...

    100% fuji for travel. The weight saving and speed of use alone would make me pick it.
