My issue is indecision, I do like the jpegs but at the time of shooting I've no idea which to go for so stick to RAW so I can choose later, not so good for Acros though sadly
The XF14mm is excellent, my 3rd favourite Fuji prime (after the 23F1.4 and the 90), its nice and compact and shares it's hood (and filter size) with the XF-18-55. Its very sharp and has next to no optical distortion. I have a 14mm album on flickr if you want to browse https://www.flickr.com/photos/89667368@N05/albums/72157643112473214/page2
Why is that then? Can't you do the Acros selection afterwards?
Just a query folks, when I look on my Flickr at the photo it says in the Show EXIF taken in Auto, but I took the shots in Aperture mode ? One more thing, am I right in thinking to set Shutter Speed on the X-T20, I dial in a shutter speed and that is now set for it ?
You can in Lightroom but I'm not 100% sure it's quite the same.
But I'm also trying to use On1 and that doesn't have it at all (yet)
That's right, because it's not manual. The shutter speed is auto in your example.Just a query folks, when I look on my Flickr at the photo it says in the Show EXIF taken in Auto, but I took the shots in Aperture mode ?

To set the shutter speed, simply turn the dial. If the aperture is also set to a fixed value, and the same for the ISO, then you are in Manual mode. Anything else is considered ( by the exif) as being an Auto mode.
Yes you can. Once you are in image review you can then apply jpeg processing to your RAW images. You retain the RAW and have an additional jpeg.Simon, I THINK you can do raw processing in camera using the X-Ts - shoot in raw then apply ant film simulations later. I shoot JPEG only, hence the THINK !
Good to see that you're managing to get out working again. (BTW, did you see my letter in the rag?!)
IIRC you set T mode on your dial. You set your shutter speed (not sure how you do that on the T20!)and you have to set A on your lens. That gives shutter priority. If you have a specific aperture on your lens then you are in full manual mode.Just a query folks, when I look on my Flickr at the photo it says in the Show EXIF taken in Auto, but I took the shots in Aperture mode ?

Guys, what is the focusing like between the X-T2 and X-T20?
Should be very similar but owning a xt2 I can honestly say the focusing and particularly tracking is superb and it totally nails fast moving objects.
Miles better than xt1
Nice and very interested in macro.Posted these on the macro forum but may be of some interest here too
Have been trying to get a 55-200 working with a Raynox diopter but just could not get on with it at all - switched back to an 18-135 and am now up and running!
These were shot with XT-1 and 18-135mm at 100-135ish with Raynox DCR-250. Lighting with Nissin I40 flash and homemade diffuser.
Might treat myself to the 80mm macro when it comes but this setup will do in the meantime

Nice and very interested in macro.
I just had a quick blast, but I'm presuming you cropped these as I was seeing a huge "vignette", but thats a very minor trade-off and found that if I put a tube on that would get rid of that.

Heheh - I've done that a few times tooah, I was around 100, perhaps I should have pushed it - anyway need to re-shoot them all, I completely forgot to take shutter speed of auto and it offered up a load of 1\25 shots... they were not exactly what you'd call crisp

Are you sure you haven't accidently engaged the auto lever on the X-T20?
lol, thankfully I'm not (usually) that bad, no the shots were in a dim room with flash on but I'd left everything as normal for outdoor shoot, okay I am that badAre you sure you haven't accidently engaged the auto lever on the X-T20?
Funnily enough that why I prefer #1, maybe I've yet to hit the HDR is awesome stage in my development
These look fantastic Mike.Posted these on the macro forum but may be of some interest here too

Cheers - yes, a very cheap and effective bit of kit which works well with the 18-135 it seemsThese look fantastic Mike.
I've got the same Raynox which I've kept after selling my DSLR kit so it looks like it'll be worth a try out.
