Same hereI got my Black Friday cash back paid today.... c-ching £570
Have you updated the lens and tc to the latest firmware? I had the same issue re aperture and focal length readings until I have updated the firmwareHad a little play yesterday with the X-T2 / 50-140 + 1.4x TC, first time using the TC
Awful lighting, dull and dismal day but wanted to see how the 50-140 performed with the 1.4x TC and more specifically how the X-T2 coped with tracking in poor light.
First image is 1/2000 f2.8 ISO 640
Second image is 1/2000 f4 ISO 6400 so I was really pushing the ISO
EXIF shows 140mm but effectively with the 1.4x TC it's 196mm on both images. I also thought you lost one stop with the 1.4x TC ? It's still showing 2.8 and 4.
Although the second image leaves a lot to be desired the camera tracked remarkably well at dusk, i've lifted the exposure a little, cropped and dehazed a bit.
Not sure what to think really as i'm still learning and never shot fast moving objects in poor light before.

Lens is but not checked the TC, thanks will doHave you updated the lens and tc to the latest firmware? I had the same issue re aperture and focal length readings until I have updated the firmware
Sorted, thanks very muchHave you updated the lens and tc to the latest firmware? I had the same issue re aperture and focal length readings until I have updated the firmware
I can't get excited about cashback payments, it just reminds me how much I spentI got my Black Friday cash back paid today.... c-ching £570
I little off form but do any of you guys have a 50-230 Mk II in black they fancy parting with?
Could do with a smidge more reach but can't bring myself to go for the excellent 100-400
If a Mk 1 at about £150 posted would do, I'll start a thread in the classies.
Have you tried the X-Transformer plugin yet? I've only just starting playing with it, but I'm impressed so far. Interface leaves a lot to be desired (it's a beta) but the level of detail extraction is...well I was very surprised!I'll be selling my XT1 GSE too as I shot with it the other day and got the painterly effect again despite me thinking I'd resolved the issue. Even though it is nit picking I don't think I'm going to get past this issue so I've decided to sell. I'll be selling my 18-55, 18-135m and 35mm f1.4 too. I'll try and get pics and an ad up in the for sale section this weekend.
This is where Graham @yamahatdm900 and I met but completely failed to recognise each other. Although in my defence, it turns out he's not actually a black cat.
Anyway, it could do with a bit of mist on the water and cloud in the sky, but I took it anyway ;-)
And as this is supposed to be a gear forum, this is with the Samyang 12mm, probably at f/8-11. No complaints from me about the lens!

I think it's excellent value. And yes, this is Shipton-on-Cherwell. Abingdon is just south of Oxford, Shipton just north. And the Cherwell is a tributary of the Thames (it's the canal right here, but the river is very close by). So they're definitely close cousins, albeit Abingdon is a market town and Shipton a tiny village.That is one of the lenses I would like to get by spring. That looks very like an area I stayed in a few years back. A town called Abingdon-on-Thames

Interesting, if done well, the touch screen be a better option to having a AF joystick?
The Fuji XT-2 is such a great body, how can Fuji possibly improve it when the XT-3 arrives....... maybe.......
- 24mp Fujifilm sensor for better ISO/DR
- Full multi-touch screen including Menu GUI
- Ground breaking AF and AF-tracking
- 15 fps with 200 shot buffer
- IBIS
- Better EVF and rear LCD screen
- Built in GPS
- Professional Copyright and file naming options
Basically its something that uses the Irident raw conversion and changes the file to a DNG, which Lightroom can handle without messing up.
So is it a plug-in for irident that you then export as DNG or is it a standalone software?Basically its something that uses the Irident raw conversion and changes the file to a DNG, which Lightroom can handle without messing up.
I think there's going to be a Mac version coming along soon, for those who don't want the full Iridient package. I occasionally use Iridient, but most of the time I'm more than happy with Lightroom, and for my workflow see no benefit in converting to DNG. Others may work differently.Looks like it's a windows only product
I had a look on their website last week, seems the only version for the Mac is developer which costs £87, why can't Mac users have the cheaper version ?Looks like it's a windows only product
I trialed the developer program and the interface is horrible imo. Aperture gives me the same detail as irident, but on my latest 'painterly' pics even that couldn't correct it ;(I had a look on their website last week, seems the only version for the Mac is developer which costs £87, why can't Mac users have the cheaper version ?
The one thing I would love to see in a X body would be IBIS so I could get the best from my prime len,s without having to use a tripod or support.
I still have a Fuji HS-10 bridge camera and was so impressed with the IBIS.
So they have the technology and ability to add it to a body
But I fear it will never happen with them offering OIS zoom lenses
But I'm still loving the Fuji,s
IBIS would have been nice to have, but it isn't going to happen and I knew that before I switched from Olympus, and work accordingly. I just wish they'd put OIS into the 90mm lens.I wouldn't look too much into Fuji lenses having OIS, the Sony IBIS system works along side their OIS lenses very well.
Fuji know its a key feature and I believe it is possible but it will most likely need a body redesign (bigger) to be able to fit in the IBIS system.
They can't put it in the current system at present due to the lack of room inside the body.
According to a FR-source, some cameras, and for sure the Fujifilm X-T2, should get the ability to add in camera copyright to your images.
How will something like this work? Is it just your name in the exif?It seems like one of my points may be ticked off in the next Firmware upgrade.....

Ah cool, we were there for 3 weeks. Ate many a pie in the little pub on the outskirts, forget the name.
The lens seems great value aye, soon as I get back on top of the bills :O it's on the hit list.
My Sony A7RII had this function.How will something like this work? Is it just your name in the exif?
Same with Olympus. Trouble is, anyone with an exif editor can remove it.My Sony A7RII had this function.
You just input your name / company name / web address etc into the camera and it will then save all this information to each photo's EXIF data.
I found the 90 to be a lovely lens to hold and quite easy to inject a bit of human stabilisation ? It's the shorter smaller lenses I find harder to control shake with.IBIS would have been nice to have, but it isn't going to happen and I knew that before I switched from Olympus, and work accordingly. I just wish they'd put OIS into the 90mm lens.
Yes, it's just like the olden days when stabilisation meant leaning on something and breathing out! It's surprising what you can achieve with the right technique - we're spoiled these days. And I'm with you on shorter lenses.\

Just two questions though.
1: are dng files much bigger?
2: does the software import to an intelligent location as lightroom can? (ie in my setup (folder)\(camera)\(date)\(files)
Cheers
Does it take half a century to convert a good batch of them?

Like the lighting on this.
