Lightroom and Fuji

Lightroom 6

There have been many discussions about best practices in Lightroom with Fuji cameras over the years, but as support has gotten better the topic has begun to tone down a bit. It is still an evolving topic that many Fuji photographers follow, but you can get good results out of any of the RAW engines available today if you put the time into learning how. Fujilove released a useful guide to help photographers more closely match Fuji JPEGs using the various Lightroom presets provided by Adobe. If you like Fuji JPEGs you should give this guide a thorough read.

The Fuji X-Pro2 at ISO 12800

Ted Vieria’s been sharing his experience with the X-Pro 2 on YouTube since receiving it around launch and it’s pretty obvious he is loving the camera. In this video he does a great job of explaining how well the new X-Pro 2 handles noise up to 12,800 ISO and he also includes a link with higher resolution samples, since YouTube isn’t the best way to judge noise performance.

Mirrorlessons has an unusual shoot out between the Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 and Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 on their page. The 75mm M.Zuiko is about 4 years old and arguably the best lens available on m43. Similarly the Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 is considered by many the sharpest X mount lens available at this time and it was only recently released. How do you think they will compare? I must admit I was surprised by the results.

Pixel vs Film Format Basis Focus on The X-Pro 2

Fujifilm DOF Scale

If you’re confused or curious about the difference between Pixel and Film Format Basis focusing on the X-Pro 2, Fujifilm has a detailed explanation for you. I haven’t played with this option much, but I don’t imagine many pixel peepers are zone focusing their cameras. It’s nice to have options, but this feature is only beneficial to photographers with Fuji’s widest lenses.
