That's fine, i don't rattle off lots of shots anyway. I would prefer the x pro anyway - it's prettier to look at :) and would be a big brother to my epl-7, which won't go anywhere.

Sweet. Xpro 2 is probably on my horizon then. I don't think I can afford an x pro 3, they're really holding value... I suppose I could consider an xe4 if I want a more modern body. I tried everything, and really struggled in some photos more than others. Like I say, it isn't actually a problem...

To be honest though, I'm massively loving my epl-7 and I think an xpro 2 or x pro 3 is in my future as a similar, but upgraded, experience. I tend to use the pana 20mm and the olympus 45mm lenses so there are excellent fuji equivalents but I'd get the wonderful rangefinder experience.

Sort of - I know it can bracket "film sims", but does it require multiple images to do so or can it take all 2,3,4 or whatever at once so there is no delay and only one photo in multiple styles? I don't want "click click click - 3 jpegs" I was hoping it could do "click - 3 jpegs of the same...

I have a fuji related question - I never hugely got on with the jpeg profiles last time I used them (xt-2 and X100T). The quality was good, but I found that it wasn't easy to get the profile I wanted in the moment. Do modern fuji cameras, like the xpro 3, allow you to record an image in, say, 2...

Em1 mark ii does cool macro multishot things with that lens, I think including in-camera stacking. I always stacked in PS.

Something different. I'm having a rough time at work, and finding joy in very simple photos. First is a Japanese quince, chaeonomeles I believe. I really like them. It's a boring flower photo, but it's a plant I look forward to this time of year. I thought the hebe had a real sense of...

Should say, the edit style. I've picked is based on me trying to emulate the colours of an old (1990s) gardening book I found the other day. Reds seem to have shifted a bit but are very saturated still. Much of the rest has yellowed/warmed somewhat, and desaturated a bit.

And a nice spot in the village. Can't work out whether I'd prefer it with or without the dog.

Chaeonomeles, I think. I've started being a good bit heavier with my processing. I never used to shy away from oddness with film photos so I'm trying to bring some of that back. Epl-7 and Panasonic 20mm f1.7, I think at 2.8 or so judging by dof.

Sootchucker, I really hope OM system release either a pen f mark 2 or a fixed lens micro 43 camera to rival the X100. Especially a fixed lens camera tbh. I don't know whether it would make money, but rangefinder style, fixed 17mm or 14mm f2 lens, leaf shutter,ibis, the stacked 20mp sensor, OM...

Wow! That's absolutely beautiful! Gold finches are my favourite small garden bird, utterly beautiful and always paired up. That's a stunning shot! Oh wait, on an om-1? Haven't you heard, they suck! Your photo must be bad. Sorry buddy! ;) Seriously though, when I've moved house I may be in...

I don't know if it's the flagship body being abandoned. Being only a couple of years old, it's more likely the replacement was mostly for branding reasons I guess - and adding extra ran/features is a sweetener, probably aimed at enticing customers like me who don't have an om-1 but still use an...

I quite like the lens release. I don't know if it's different to the stock sigma (redesigned elements? Fluorine coating?) but it offers insane reach. Bit expensive perhaps, but again, maybe it's more modified than it seems. The size of a 600mm f6.3 lens will always be massive, so in traditional...

Beautiful dog, and tracking a moving subject coming toward the camera is a very tough test, especially a border collie!
