Nice one Brody!

Having a little fun with the X-E1 and kit lens

Some street shots from today.

Olelovold beautiful images! How are you processing them? They look very film like. I'm a film shooter and am contemplating buying a Fuji x-trans camera. I've seen some images from shooters using an X pro 1 that still have that digital look, then others that are posting images that have a film quality. I'm not referring to film grain, but to the color depth. I'd just like to know if this is something unique to these Fuji x trans cameras, or if its something the shooters are doing in the processing stage?

Thank you Nisieb! For the film-like look, I use a plugin for Lightroom called VSCO film - this is pack 1. I usually use the 400H/Portra 400 weakest settings, and adjust tonal range with the tools that Lightroom have. Due to the poor way Lightroom handles RAW files from the X-Trans cameras, I often only shoot JPGs - I use STD mode, -2 highlights, -1 shadows, -2 NR, 0 sharpening. I find that I in the vast majority of cases are covered in tonal range from the JPG and the WB is usually spot on. For situations with difficult mixed lighting, I also shoot RAW, since it is unbeatable for messing with colour palette.

Great! Thanks for the response.

Very nice shots everyone! The shots from the CV15 are really nice! Here's some from a buddy's bday party last night. Horrible lighting but whatevs, it was fun

Weissbier and citrus... shouldn't go in the same glass!

Hello,
Question:
How is the LiveView operation of the XE-1?
I only have experience with a Canon 5DMkII, I like it.
I am asking about LV specifically, as I would like to use the XE-1 for possible macro shots.
Anyone done any macro work with the XE-1 using LV?
Thanks.

OK, a few India shots from between assignments. This is a killer B&W camera (shot in color/jpg, converted using Aperture)!

X-E1 + 35mm.

And why not a couple in color...

One thing I'm really debating is whether I should pick up the 18mm.

I shoot 35mm on FF as my almost exclusive work lens. It's the FL I feel most natural in; I love it unconditionally.

That said, this 53mm equiv. on the Fuji does two things: i) gives me a second FL to carry without switching lenses, and ii) forces me to look at the world at around normal/slightly beyond normal FL. I'm loving that, and I'm loving the diversity of shots this is making me add to my work.

I'm afraid I'll fall back to the 18mm (27 equiv) if I get it... which might negate a lot of what I'm getting out of using this current Fuji lens.

As far as problems go... it's a damn nice one to have.

justruss -- I'm enjoying your photos very much. Very skilled use of the camera.

By the way, are you using a 3rd party lens in addition to the Fuji 35mm? Some of your pics have "50mm" and f/1 in the EXIF.

Glad you like them, zlatko.

Yes-- I've used my Tamron Adaptell-2 SP 17mm f/3.5 via adapter. It works sometimes, but I really have to nail focus it seems. I've played with my FL 55 f/1.2 too... but not on the India trip.

That said... the 35mm f/1.4 is really incredible. I love how it renders.

I have an x100s on pre-order, it has the same processor. Looking forward to it.

Tromsoe, Norway.

Thanks for looking!

Nice!

I hate you folks ......I was this close to finally deciding on the EM-5 before strolling through some of these pics. Very nice
