I posted this question on another forum and learned that the OVF won't function if the camera is in macro mode. Problem solved!

For some reason the lever on the front of my X-Pro 1 will no longer bring up the OVF. Have I done something wrong in the settings, or is this something that will require sending the camera for repair?

I keep a Fotasy 39mm vented hood -- $6.99 at Amazon -- on my X-Pro 1 and have been very pleased with it. The X-Pro with the 27mm lens is my everyday carry camera.

I don't know if this allowed, so if it isn't, Moderator please delete it! I've restarted my blog after a long lapse, and so far am sticking to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule. It's not Fuji-specific, but I am a Fuji shooter, and before that I used micro 4/3s. I've had a long and varied...

Why don't you quit testing lenses and get on with your next book, Bill? :026: For the record, as an architectural, commercial, and documentary photographer, I'm usually interested in more depth of field, rather than less.

I guess I'm really stupid, but I've been a photographer since 1968 and a full-time working professional since 1973, but I've never been able to see all those subtle differences in lens rendering that others appear to see. I can see that some lenses are sharper than others, and some appear to...

Thanks for the quick response, Bill. I enjoyed your book very much and am looking forward to the next one. Dave

Guys, could I get a little off-topic help here? Our friend, the super moderator from sunny Frimley, has written a very enjoyable book. I read it some time ago, but now I cannot remember the title or the author's full name so as to find it in my archives, either on Kindle or Nook. Could someone...

I got a set of those, but haven't used them yet because I don't have the right lens to pair with them. My use will be to re-photograph slides as an alternative to scanning.

Looks like all my lenses are too old to qualify.

On my (now departed) Canon 6D, there were two positions on the top left dial marked, as I remember, C1 and C2. Turning to either of these brought up a specific group of settings. It was much quicker than reconfiguring the camera when I wanted to change into, say flash, mode. Is there any way to...

Are you really going to make 40x60 prints and hang them where people can put their noses against them? If not, you don't need the Sony. (Although your Fujis would actually do quite well in such a test.) I gave up obsessing about super-large files when I learned that my Olympus E-M5 could create...

To my eye, the biggest difference is that you have rendered the files lighter in C1X than you did in SilkyPix. So I don't see a valid comparison here. Make the files the same degree of lightness/darkness in both processors and then let's see how they compare. This post was beneficial to me...

To me, the SOOC conversions look muddy, compared to the C1X versions.

A question for Bobby T.: How difficult is it to learn Affinity Photo? I would be coming from CS2, which I've never upgraded because it does everything I want it to do. I got my first digital camera and began teaching myself Photoshop in 2003, right around my 66th birthday. It seems that all I've...

I've been reading your blog from the beginning, Adam, and have learned many things from you, for which I am grateful. However, most of the time when you have posted your various comparisons, my reaction has been that there's not enough difference to make a difference. Maybe my eye isn't...

Yep. $49.99 from the Microsoft site.

How much does Affinity cost?

Am I misunderstanding this? Is C1 Express only available to current Capture One licensees?

As a Capture One user since shortly after switching to digital photography in 2003, the C1 Express is for me the biggest news to come out of Photokina. I upgraded regularly through version 7, but then went several years without switching cameras, so did not need to upgrade to version 8. My X-Pro...

If I had some money I would pick up a clean, used X-T2. But I bought a truck, so I'm strapped for now.

This is off-topic, Bill Palmer, but I hope you have another book in the works. I really liked the first one.

I sold my 18-135 because it was just too big/heavy for my taste as an everyday walkaround lens on my Fuji bodies.

I’m so tired of post-processing that I have thought about going back to a film workflow. But then one has to scan the film and process the files, so that’s even worse. Plus, there’s the expense of the film and the processing lab. Fuji jpgs are great!

I used Canon 24-105s and 28-105s as my main lenses for years, but a bit more reach would be nice. I always envied Nikon’s 24-120.

I could use the 16-75, but 16-80 would be better.

Never mind. I found it, right there on page 24 of the X-Pro 1 manual. Duh! Amazing what one can learn by RTFM!

Is there any way to set up an X-Pro 1 or an X-T1 for programmed automation, where the camera selects both aperture and shutter speed?

I couldn't agree more.

No offense intended, but compared to your usual work, these pix are very ordinary. They do not have the considered, something-significant-is-going-on-here feel that is present in most of your street photography, a quality that I feel puts you in the top ranks of street photographers. (Of course...

Thanks, guys. Page 19 got me started in the right direction, then I just pushed buttons until something worked. :crying:

Trying to fix some setup problems on my new-to-me X-Pro 1, I evidently pushed a wrong button somewhere, and now I can only review photos in the viewfinder, not on the rear LCD. What do I do wrong? Or better, what can I do right to review images on the LCD?

Thanks, Bobby. I’m disgusted with myself that I couldn’t remember that. This is a very nice camera. It came with one of those little screw-in raised shutter buttons. I promptly unscrewed it and put it away. The camera I broke had one of those, and I will bet that the reason it broke was because...

Just received my new (to me) $335 Fuji X-Pro 1 and it looks really good. I'm getting it set up as I like it. I think I've asked this question before on this forum, but can't find it. How do I check what firmware version is installed?

Sold my broken X-Pro 1 on Fred Miranda for $85 and should have asked for more. I could probably have sold ten of them!

I was able to find another X-Pro 1 on the Fred Miranda forum for $335, so I think I'm going to put the broken one up for sale for $75 plus shipping and PayPal. I was informed that replacement top plates are available on eBay for $179, so maybe someone who's good at tinkering can fix it and have...

Looks like repair is not an option. Fuji USA says they no longer have parts for the X-Pro1.

So, how much, Kyle?

Put my X-Pro1 on the seat beside me at a restaurant Saturday night and it was accidentally shoved off onto a tile floor. The shutter button/on-off switch assembly was knocked off. Talked to Fuji repair today and they said the whole top plate would have to be replaced. Cost would be $180 labor...

I suppose, Adam, that I should ask you what you mean by the "35mm look." Many, many of the greatest photographs were not made with 35mm cameras at all. Many were made with other formats, especially with 2-1/4x2-1/4 format twin-lens reflexes. In fact, many of those who are mostly remembered as...

I don't agree that it was "the vast majority," nor that "the 35mm look" is all that important. However, I really don't want to get into a debate with you, because I respect both your knowledge and your work very much. My larger point is this: photography is not about photography; it is about...

I just don’t think it makes enough difference to make a difference to anyone but optical scientists and pixel-peepers. This is not what photography is about. We debate endlessly about trivia and hardly anyone makes great pictures anymore. Most of the great photographs in the history of the art...

Clean X-Pro 1s are plentiful for +/- $300, Bobby. Grab one.

And as I think I've said before, I find your analogy to be very much on target. I love my X-P1 for its quirkiness and other good qualities, but my X-T20 and X-T1 are much better working tools for me. I think that's probably because of 50 years of muscle memory handling SLRs. If I had spent all...

So right, Andy!

I've seen it many times, Kyle, and also eaten there. I have long-time friends who live about half a mile from there. The reason I'm pleased with these files is that I didn't have to do anything to them -- just resized them for the forum.

Did something today I've never done before -- submitted some straight out of camera jpegs from my X-T20 as part of the selection to accompany an article I wrote for Georgia Backroads magazine.

Seems to me you have a rather impressive lens list yourself, Mike.:boohoo:

I agree with Mike. I think the red shoulder helps balance the composition with the red door and window casing on the left and the table and trash bin (?) at bottom right.

You got a digital Canon in the mid-80s, Bobby?
