I'm sure your wallet has breathed a sigh of relieffuji event on friday. i wonder if the x-pro 3 is likely to announced. so far im not impressed by the leaked design and omission of the d-pad..

I'm sure some die hard PC fans will disagree with me but having made a very good living out of PC's going wrong (software more than hardware).
If you don’t mind me asking, are you guys working on a Mac/Mac Book or Windows. I’m getting close to getting a new personal unit (as I’m still on Windows 7) and obviously need to change pretty soon as support for W7 stops in January and my old laptop is not suitable to upgrade to W10. I’m still undecided If I should stick with Windows or change to an Apple unit as I already have an iPad Pro 12.9 and an iPhone. I don’t actually use or have LR any more and very seldom use my copy of PS, having had good results with Affinity but I’m extremely interested in equipping my next unit with a really good RAW software as the Affinity part of RAW is ok but still a bit clunky and does not save your edits.

I use both. Personally, I prefer Windows, however, both work similarly enough with respect to the software that it isn't greatly different. I use C1 for my fuji raw files and bridge/photoshop for my nikon raw files. Main reason I prefer windows is that things are standard with respect to placement of keyboard symbols and functionality. IMO, newer macs since the introduction of usb-c/thunderbolt 3 have been distinctly less reliable vs the 2011-2015 models. (part of my job is to support and maintain a mac based userbase) This is ignoring their frankly stupid idea of ridding all their laptops of sensible ports meaning you need dongles for absolutely everything, which somewhat negates the portability advantages.Many thanks for that, I really don’t want this to turn into an Apple Vs Windows debate as I know there is a specific thread for this sort of thing.
I’m extremely interested to know what software for handling Fuji RAW files works better on, ie an Apple or Windows unit. As I said I’m quite happy using Affinity for my PP work apart from the fact that the RAW converter in that software is not as good as I would like. I also convert all my Fuji RAW files to DNG as it suits me better (don’t ask why) for one reason or another but affinity will not open them correctly on my iPad Pro. The developers of Affinity say for them to open correctly on an iPad the Fuji RAW files must be in their native format and uncompressed. I’m wondering if this is the same as they would be on a Mac/Mac Book. They all open correctly on my Windows unit. This is why I’m interested in knowing if software such as C1 will eliminate this problem on either platform ie Apple or Windows.

I use an iMac just as personal preference. Im not especially computer literate and just find a Mac easier to use. I bought an off-the-shelf Mac two years ago to replace a 6 year old unit that was chugging a bit. Adobe CC is a bit sluggish for 15 minutes or so after loading, C1 loads the catalogue and then runs fine. Keep in mind I'm only using the free Fuji edition atm though. My iMac is only used for photo editing, nothing else.

im using a MacBook pro. its a 2012 model retina model which i bought in 2015, i think. it hasn't missed a beat.
it gets used daily for work and photo editing. its probably used for about 10 hours a day on average. i have to say its probably the best bit of tech i bought in terms of how its performed for me. im nervous that it could pack up any day now, but it hasn't shown any signs that its about to.

Try iridient for raw conversation, mate
@G.K.Jnr. I've ben using the free version of Capture One and i'm stunned at the difference between it's RAW conversion and PS. Very impressed indeed.

Just a simple landscape type Fujigraph taken at Dungeness Kent UK of an old winch mechanism that was used for hauling the boats or catch up the beach and an old fisherman's hut. These are just two of the many things scattered about the beach that have just been left behind. I've deliberately gone for a higher contrast gritty look for this snap to emphasize the rust & decay etc.
I'm also working on a personal project called Things Left Behind and this will be one of the shots included.

Many thanks for that matey, that's another possibility that I'll certainly give a look at a bit later.
George.
Great subject, great mono. Nice one.
here ya go, matey https://www.iridientdigital.com/
“Excellent” set of Fujigraphs, liking all of these very much with #3 probably being my fav’.
George.
Thanks very much, really appreciatedLovely set and a great way to go out and learn a new piece of kit
I downloaded windows 10 on my existing PC and it runs fine. I also use C1 Pro (switched from Lightroom) and it runs smoothly without any problems. As mentioned above, C1 downloads the whole catalogue before you start editing which I find handyMany thanks for that much appreciated.
I’m only in the market for a new unit because the W7 will not be supported from about mid January next. Everything works just fine on the old laptop that I’ve already got its just not suitable for upgrading and will not take things like C1 & On1 because the graphics card is not of the correct type and is not up to the job.
George.
Agreed. C1 handles Fuji file way better than Lightroom@G.K.Jnr. I've been using the free version of Capture One and i'm stunned at the difference between it's RAW conversion and PS. Very impressed indeed.
What's everyone's view on worthy upgrade for X-E2? I've been out of the loop on cameras for a while. Lately, I've only been using the X-E2 + 18+55mm combo to photo my 1.5yr old son, who is starting to move too fast for sharp focus.
I have X100 classic, which I'll never get rid of, love the camera. For interchangeable lens, I have 10-24mm, 18-55mm, 55-200mm and original 60mm macro.
If I change camera, will my existing zoom lenses(specifically the 18-55mm f2.8-4) keep up? How does latest Fujifilm camera do with regard to erratic tracking? Which new camera has good AF tracking + pop-up bounce-able flash like X-E2 + EVF?
Alternatively, Is there a weather resistant camera + lens combo that will do better AF tracking than a new camera + my existing 18-55 combo? EVF and flash are still desirable.

Wonderful capture! Wow...Messing around at the river last night and a guy approached me and asked if I could take some shots of his dog jumping in. So much for the 56 not being able to capture fast moving subjects as often claimed

Thanks Rick, do you think it works well in B&W ? First version was colour but I prefer this personally.Wonderful capture! Wow...

Well, the XH-1 has arrived, I had a quick play indoors last night while trying to hide if from the wife I think I now have the settings as I want, and am going to be able to try some shooting this weekend. First impressions are, I like the feel of it, but it does feel huge compared to the XT-3, not a criticism, just an observation. The shutter is taking a bit to get used to, but I will. It looks and feels more robust than the XT-3 though time will tell how I get on with it when shooting. I tried some shots with the 56 1.2 and the IBIS is certainly working well. I'm please I bought it, and will certainly be using this as well as the XT-3 a lot. I am also going to try some video shooting, which is something I have always steered away from, and used GoPro in the past.
Watch this space for evidence of cack-handed efforts at pictures!
I think the B&W treatment suits it perfectly.Thanks Rick, do you think it works well in B&W ? First version was colour but I prefer this personally.
