    Advice Wanted Printer purchase advice

    I have an Epson printer, and clogged-up nozzles were a consistent problem with the OEM pigment-based inks. I then tried a set of dye-based inks (non-OEM), and found that they didn't clog up during periods of non-use. I can see no difference in print quality, and they are inexpensive, by...

    Advice Wanted Photoshop Borders

    A slight amendment to item 1. above. The px value for the top border needs to be half the value used for the width in item 2, since the width value is shared across two borders. Mea culpa. :blush:

    Advice Wanted Photoshop Borders

    A (relatively) quick-and-easy work-around:- 1. Using a bottom anchor, add a 200px border at the top 2. Add the borders as you describe in your post above. DONE! You could then turn this into an action, if you wish to use it multiple times. Of course, none of this should really be necessary...

    Apologies if I've misunderstood your meaning here, but you can use adapted lenses on the x-Pro1 (with an adapter, obviously!).

    GAS Dear Giary!

    I don't have the x-Pro2 but I do have the x-Pro1 and the x100, so I can offer thoughts on a 'similar' comparison. ;) The x-Pro1 is a delightful camera, but I have to say that I return more frequently to the x100 than the x-Pro1. There is something about the x100 which continues to appeal - long...

    Fuji The great X100V discussion thread (formerly "specs leaked")

    Yes, that's interesting - I've read this in a number of places. I reckon that if the x100V were available with an updated Bayer sensor - but which retained the aesthetic qualities of the original sensor that appeal to me - I'd be much more tempted to go for it. So... I won't be upgrading. (for...

    I agree with all of that - especially your comment about the price! :biggrin:

    Fuji The great X100V discussion thread (formerly "specs leaked")

    Yes, that's right. I actually tend to prefer the output from the Bayer sensor, However, I readily acknowledge that the X-trans has far better performance, by most 'normal' measures - it's just that aesthetics are hard to measure by normal measures. I admit that what appeals to me about the...

    Fuji The great X100V discussion thread (formerly "specs leaked")

    That x100V looks superb, @redsim74 ! I'm still using the original x100 (which is still just wonderful, IMO), and have never yet felt inclined to upgrade, upon the release of a later version. However, I have to say that the x100V is the first of the subsequent releases to send a faint 'siren...

    Quite amusing, really. We in the U.K. have spent the past 50 years absorbing U.S. words and expressions, through television and film. Now that we have - to a large extent - completed the process, you're absorbing ours! :wink: What a strange world it is. :biggrin:

    Fuji Showcase Fuji TCL-X100 (any version) Images

    This image was made using the original x100, with TCL-x100 adapter (Mk1). I find the x100/TCL-x100 combination very enjoyable. The result images are very much to my taste, and as a bonus, I also like the way the adapter lens looks, on the camera. BTW, if anyone viewing this thread is thinking...

    Nice, Leeland! I see that you're in Cornwall, so I'm guessing that this shot is in the same area?

    The Decisive Moment (the book)

    I get that. Once digital had 'arrived', I thought it had for me too - for a good number of years. However, since resuming shooting film, I've been really enjoying it. Of course, it's much less convenient than digital, but then - we're supposed to 'suffer for our art'........ aren't we...

    The Decisive Moment (the book)

    Well, do you currently print your digital photographs? If so, then I would guess that - whatever it is that you do with those prints - you'd do the same with your darkroom prints! :wink: Conversely, if you currently view your digital photos only on screens, then you'd view the scanned film...

    Yes - I've been on here for about six years (on-and-off), and I don't recall ever being 'flamed'. It's a good-natured bunch of people. :)

    The Decisive Moment (the book)

    I agree - although I certainly would use the term "clinical" for modern digital output. It is this which has driven me back to film (for the most part). I'm horrified when I recall the countless hours - over a period of 10+ years - spent trying to get a truly satisfactory emulation of the film...

    Fuji My dream X100....

    I agree, in principle - although I think I'd have liked an 85mm (eq.) - especially since I have the TCL-x100 converter, and therefore already have a 50mm (eq.) f/2.0. 👍 Incidentally, I'm very pleased with the TCL-x100. It does a great job, and looks really good, when attached. In fact, I've...

    Fuji The Original old X100 can still boogie

    I can certainly understand this, Kyle - but I also think that there's a slight risk that the reality might be a disappointment. IMO, there's something about the pre-x-Trans sensor in the original x100 which has a certain 'look', which is well worth keeping! :thumbup: I'll readily admit that it...

    Photoshop 2019 install causing problems in Win7 SP1 machine

    I agree. I borrowed someone's Windows 10 machine, for a short while, and I learned to utterly detest Win10. For me, Windows 7 does most things reasonably well, while Win10 does a lot of things quite badly. :frown: I cannot see how Microsoft imagined that any of the post-Win7 operating systems...

    Fuji Can a Fuji X100x be set up for hyperfocal distance?

    When set to manual focus, the x100 (original model) keeps its focus distance setting through an On/Off cycle. It also (somewhat to my surprise) survives the removal and replacement of the battery!

    Sony RX100 - it's going back...

    The RX100 Mk 1 is a slippery little fella, and I presume that the Mk IV is no different.

    Sony RX100 - it's going back...

    I'm still on my trusty Mk1 (now almost six years old), so my comments relate specifically to that model. However, they might be (and, I suspect, probably are) common to later models. There's no 'focal length resume' function as such, but there is, at least, a useable work-around:- if one saves...

    Thanks - the IA button was already on this setting. :thumbup: BTW, I wasn't so much denigrating the 'user' attachment, as complimenting gary0139's shots, by means of a little self-deprecating humour - but thanks anyway, for the words of encouragement! :D

    You certainly manage to get your LX100 to 'sing'! For some inexplicable reason, mine doesn't seem to do quite as well. :confused-95: It must be the sub-standard 'user' attachment :wink:, fitted to the viewfinder of my LX100.

    Film Thinking about Medium Format

    A year or so ago, I obtained a Bronica SQ-a. Using this camera slows one down to an extraordinary degree! In circumstances where - when using a DLSR - I might take 30-50 shots, when using the Bronica, I would probably take no more than five! This results in a far greater enjoyment and...

    Sigma New owner of the DP1

    Having owned both the DP1 and the Olympus XA, I can't say that I agree with you on this. I liked the DP1 very much for its image quality, but when it came to in-use characteristics, the XA is really 'snappy', whereas the DP1 definitely SLOW! :) As an aside, my DP1 (2008 vintage) went 'belly-up'...

    Yes, I recall that quote from his book "An English Eye" - of which, I'm fortunate to have a copy. Browsing it, on a sunny summer's day in the garden, accompanied by a cup of tea (or something stronger :)) is one of life's great delights.
