Advertisement Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Hi gyoung, Take a look here Fuji X-T1. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
keenr Posted March 9, 2014 Share #22 Posted March 9, 2014 I tested 4 of my M lenses (21sem, 35cron asph, 50lux asph and 90 elm) all performed quite well using the Fuji M adapter on the XT-1. Minor smearing observed with the 21 sem. What I find most compelling is the Fuji M Adapter as you can dial-in correction info (distortion, color shading and peripheral illumination) on as many as 5 M lenses. Assuming the XT-1 sensor performs as well as the Xpro, which imho it does if not exceed, then the use of M lenses with the Fuji adapter and XT-1 is a nice backup to the M240. See attached link for examples of testing with UWA and WA: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=121039 Cheers kb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted March 9, 2014 Share #23 Posted March 9, 2014 I took mine out today for a trial, with the new 56mm. Have to say the EVF is superb, as is the manual focus implementation. Sent from another Galaxy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted March 21, 2014 Share #27 Posted March 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Light isn't water or dust... The light leak occurs in bright conditions when the port is open to accommodate a remote cable release. Fuji to their credit have already acknowledged the problem and are doing foc rectifications under warranty, with an expected turnaround of a week to ten days. It only affects an early batch of bodies and has been rectified already in production. That's how to handle an issue... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjh Posted March 21, 2014 Share #30 Posted March 21, 2014 It's a great camera but isn't it supposed to be water and dust proof?!! Whether there’s a light leak has nothing to do with the camera being water and dust proof – you only get a light leak (with an early batch of the X-T1) when the port door is open, and in that case the camera isn’t water- or dust-proof anyway – it is the port door that seals the camera against water and dust.

I am a long time Fuji fan having owned both Fuji X100 and XPro1. I would still have the X-T1 in a flash if the available range of long lenses were available and/or lighter! They are a very customer friendly company and in my opinion by far the most customer responsive camera manufacturer out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honcho Posted March 22, 2014 Share #32 Posted March 22, 2014 ...or a potentially self-destructing sensor.... For the sake of pedantry, the X-T1 is not waterproof or dustproof. It is 'sealed' in a few places, which adds a bit more marketing potential to an already good camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucisPictor Posted March 23, 2014 Share #33 Posted March 23, 2014 I got my X-T1 some days ago and, gentlemen, I must admit that I am totally amazed by that little cam! As far as I can say at the moment this is the best digital cam I have ever used. Following a line of Nikon D1, Fuji S1Pro, S2Pro, Canon EOS 350D, 40D, 5D, Pentax K100D, Leica M8, Nikon D3100, Nikon1 V1 and Fuji X-E1, the X-T1 tops them all. I have sold most of those cams meanwhile, but the set of Fuji X-T1 Fuji X-E1 Leica M8 with some nice lenses gives me all that I need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdriceman Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share #34 Posted March 23, 2014 I did get the XT-1 and the Fuji M adaptor. I was also very impressed the first few days that I used it. However, after a few days of comparing images and struggling with the auto-focus, I became less enamored. I bought it not to replace my M, but as a potential replacement for my Nex 6 because I believe the Fuji has a better lens selection and better build quality and I expected the IQ to be noticeably better given it has no AA filter. After days of eye-bleeding pixel peeping, I concluded that the XT-1 IQ doesn't compete with the M. And using the same lens (a 50mm Summilux) to compare, the IQ is about the same as the Nex. The main problem I had with the Fuji was that its auto-focus was not as good as the Nex and, I really could not rely on it for any object moving faster than my 80 year old mother. I know they talk about the improvements in the XT-1 auto focus, but it is not close at all to DSLR performance (I know that's not a fair comparison - although some in other forums are comparing it to DSLR auto-focus), but it's not even as good as the 2 year old Nex 6 technology. So, although I really liked the ergonomics, lens selections, build quality, I just couldn't justify spending $1,200 (plus start a new collection of lenses) to replace the Nex. So, back it went to B&H last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucisPictor Posted March 23, 2014 Share #35 Posted March 23, 2014 Strange, I took photos of my kids playing and running around in our garden at kind of dim light, which is somewhat of a maximum penalty for cameras. And I was quite satisfied with the AF performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted March 23, 2014 Share #36 Posted March 23, 2014 Most strange. I find it like greased weasel shit. Which lens? Some are notably slower than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdriceman Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #37 Posted March 24, 2014 Most strange. I find it like greased weasel shit. Which lens? Some are notably slower than others. Bill, It was the 18-55 zoom lens. An ok lens, but not exceptional IMO. I strongly considered returning the lens and getting the 23 mm which I know to be a very good lens (I have used on an x Pro 1), but then I don't have the convenience of the zoom. As I said, I think it is a fine camera and I really wanted it to work for me, but I didn't think it was enough of an improvement over the Nex to justify the price. I'll take another look at Fuji when (if?) an X Pro 2 is released. Ken Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdriceman Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #38 Posted March 24, 2014 Another frustration I had with the camera was that I found the shadows didn't hold detail well. This may be due to my lack of experience in PP with the X Trans filed... Or perhaps I am spoiled with the M9/M files and the ability to pull detail out of shadows. But I struggled with that also. Just wondering if you find the same thing and how you handle the PP in that regard. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucisPictor Posted March 24, 2014 Share #39 Posted March 24, 2014 Hi, that is nothing that I have realized so far, or better that has annoyed me. I need to check on that. Can it be that your 18-55 is faulty? I consider the 18-55 the best standard zoom lens I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 24, 2014 Share #40 Posted March 24, 2014 I have an 18mm lens that came with an X Pro 1. I'm a bit surprised how poor the edge performance is, even stopped down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
