Really, really like what I see from this sensor. Can't wait to get

with 50 1.8 afsI predict that you are really going to love this camera! I bought mine new back in 2014 and absolutely love it. Works great with everything from vintage Nikkors to modern Zeiss glass.
Looking forward to seeing more from you

DonDon, I think so too!
I actually shot with the XT2 for awhile after selling my D810/D500. I thoroughly enjoyed shooting the manual control system of the Fuji.
What I couldn't get use to was the EVF. So I went back to the D500 for awhile but then ultimately just sold everything when I decided to take a break from photography.
I also missed that FF look of the files and I just alsways liked shooting true to what the lens FL is(for some reason). So the DF for me just makes sense with it's OVF, manual controls, and...Show more →
I've read a lot of people diss the auto focus of the Df too. It makes me wonder if many of those people have ever owned/rented the Df and can speak from experience? Or maybe they are spoiled by the likes of a D5/850. But, I can say that I often shoot in very dimly lit jazz clubs and I really never have issues with my Df auto focussing when using my Art 50.
As for the glass... I always say, don't skimp on the glass. Glass is forever, as bodies can come and go.
Best Wishes,
Don

This is the one, I was struggling with Nisi 100x100 filters. I wanted to use polarizer, and ND, but I had only 10-stop ND, I wish I had 6-stop ND.
Beside that stop number challenge, there is a serious issue, or better say some kind of purple reflection, when you use two filters at the time.
It's been corrected, but I was struggling a lot.
I think, I'm gonna get a Breakthrough polarizer with 6-stop ND in one, it's been available for some time.

I get the same reflective issues when I use my 6 or 10 stop filters behind my neutral grad filter. You can also get the same issues if the eyepiece isn't covered during long exposures.
To make 100% sure I don't get the reflection issues, I shoot all the filters separately and blend them in photoshop afterwards. Although I'm not using the polarizer with my 10 stop, just my neutral grad and 10 stop. Sometimes when pressed for time I use gaffers tape and surround the filter gaps to block...Show more →
To be honest, I completely forgot to cover eyepiece, after using mirrorless cameras for almost 3 years.
Thanks for your input on this!

It seems I need to focus tune this lens now I use it far more often.

Sigma 105. Really starting to love this lens. Balances very well on D5 and focus is very accurate.
