Any tips on quickly getting used to it?
Yes - point it at something and press the clicky button thingy on the top.
Sorry.
Any tips on quickly getting used to it?
TCL has just arrived to join the WCL and X100. It looks a lot better than I expected and the first few snaps look great.
yes, that will by my first test tonight. I have the XT1 and 35mm and I've heard the TCL bokeh isn't great so I'll get to compare the two near-equivalents. But I also have the 56mm which is my bets-for-blur lensI absolutely love mine.
Try it at f2.8 and minimum focus distance and check out the background blur
Finally bought the Gariz half case this weekend for my X100s
How are You finding the Case?
It hasn't arrived yet, which reminds me, I paid for RMSD so I should have had it by now, must chase it up tomorrow.
I knew about the leaf shutter but I didn't think I'd get up to 1/4000 without a sync cord (I was using phottix triggers).It has a leaf shutter Adam so you're correct and not going crazy. You should have had a word with your Fuji buddy, he's done a few videos and tutorials on it.
I did, what made you say that ? Have you had a bad experience with them ?Ah did you get it from Love Cases?
Haha, yeah that's a good point. I do wonder how much he has benefited from the Fuji deal... Whether it be money, free gear, free trips etc.
I have watched most of his vids and he does say 'this is all i need' (which I'm pretty sure he has said about the x100/s/t, his xpro1 and his xt1...) Then watch his one light 2.0 vid and he's flashing a phase one... But i think it was to demonstrate that you can do it with any kind of camera as he uses Canon and Nikon too. But yes, i do agree.
He uses what works for him i guess and not everyone can afford a MF setup but he's not trying to 'Fuji-up' MF users up i suppose... He's being used to get people away from CaNikon.
Anyway... Phottix triggers you say...
What were they firing?
Lumopro LP180's.
I absolutely love mine.

Glad its not just me, I guess. I browsed the web this afternoon and while there were lots of "soft at f2" posts there seemed to be an equal amount of "not soft at f2" rejoinders. My x100+TCL seems to shift focus slightly too at f2, again gone at f2.8Yes - that's exactly why I said 2.8.
The softness at f2 is widely reported, so not user error.
Anyone have a decent ND filter kit for the X100/S/T?
