Shsmeless plug ive put an original Fuji XT10/20 grip and batteries in the accessories forum if anyone is interested.
I sympathise, because I went back and forth quite a bit on that question. In the end I went with bolder, i.e. darker, but it may also be that our screens differ. Alternatively, you may simply be rightSomething tells me I should like this one Dave, but I just think it's a bit too dark for me. Everything else about it really works. It's a great capture, I just think it needs a little more work in PP (but then who am I??).
Cheers George!"Excellent Fujigraph Sir, nothing more to be said.
George.
A pair from a quick hour out this morning - aiming for something other than B&W coastal stuff in 2018
Processing is bit clumsy too - am out of practice and still using Aperture for now.

Just spotted a Fuji on countryfile of all places shooting jumping salmon.
Took a bit of watching and remembering old kit, but it was the X-T2 with 100-400
On the above shot if it had been mine, I would of deleted it if the sky was badly blown.
Here's the river/canal & bridge....
To be honest, this is a nightmare scenario for me, blown out skies and dull as dishwater colours, so it needed some work (and I'm not great at this stuff)

I haven’t kept a single shot off the X-T2 because I like it, I only have shots from the camera for testing purposes.

Tom,
I think I speak for us all when I say, in the nicest possible way, just sell it and move on.
If you're unhappy with it to the extent that you have not managed a single shot worth keeping (whereas with other cameras I assume you have?), then it's time to move on. You tried it, it didn't work out. Flogging a dead horse comes to mind and to me it doesn't appear you'll ever be happy enough to justify the cost of the gear.
Best regards

I genuinely didn't write it for the likes. Observing your posts (and the replies) over the last few days / weeks has made it pretty clear that this is really the only likely course of action.Ian, well said to be honest. That’s also my line of thinking currently so I think that’s what I will do!
I will be back when they use a Bayer sensor haha.
Ps, I can imagine your post will attract several likes!

It's a shame it didn't work out as I love my little Fuji as others do theirs. You just need to find or go back to what works for you. It isn't Fuji, but I hope you do find what does work as going round in circles would be frustrating and expensive in equal measure.
All the best and if it helps, I'll give you £500 to move that piece of crap X-T2 on immediately [emoji6]
Cheers

Apologies if my post came across as flippant, I'm sure you'll find something, if you're open to DSLR I'd suggest the Nikon D750, were it not for the size/weight I'd still have mine.
Cool.No absolutely not, didn't see it to be honest! As just mentioned, that camera is perfect in all but its size for me!

Cool.
Do be sure to get a feel for how the A7II is with lenses as I suspect being full frame the glass will be the same sort of size as Nikon ones, and the D750 is actually pretty small for a full frame, well at least I thought so at the time
Good luck with it all though - I've been through so many brand changes I really don't envy you.
To my way of thinking, it looks weird and artefacted, not least because it's trying to recover detail in a blown-out sky that would be better left alone.Thanks Steve, you’ve done a good job here but it does present a look that I often see in Fuji files, a look that I’m not overly fond of for landscapes!

Here's my version, but you won't be able to learn much from it at this size.

Check out this version, and see whether you're happy with the detail in the foliage. If not, then I agree you're most likely going to be better off looking elsewhere.

Heres is 9818, all I did was clarity, dropped the highlights and did Topaz detail.

I know nowt about studio portraiture, but I like the colour palette here!
there is no actual need to make a dull image look like a sunny day. it always looks false.

That’s a beauty!
‘Snap’ makes it sound like you just wafted a camera around and got this. If you did, I hate you
