article that caught a couple people’s attention. In regards to the upcoming fixed-lens GFX camera, I stated, “I really hope for conversion lenses—both wide and telephoto—like the X100-series has. I highly doubt that the WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 will work on it (although it would blow...
Using vintage lenses from the 1980’s, or perhaps inexpensive third-party lenses with character, will help with the overall aesthetic. For the pictures above, I used a TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8, which has strong vignetting when used wide open. Basically, you don’t want a clean digital image; ...
I really hope for conversion lenses—both wide and telephoto—like the X100-series has. I highly doubt that theWCL-X100 and TCL-X100will work on it (although it would blow my mind if they somehow did), but something similar should be made for the GFX100RF. A 0.9x wide-converter (25mm...
Focus Check: This is only used when you are in manual focus mode (accessed via the switch on the side of the camera) or single-servo autofocus and have already focused. When on, this magnifies your focusing area to make it easier to focus manually each time you turn the lens’s focusin...

The Fuji X Forum is the perfect place for Fuji X photographers and fans. We discuss cameras (like Fuji X-T4, Fuji X-H2, Fuji X-S10 and GFX), lenses and of course great images.
This is often used for shooting large structures and tight spaces. It gives a visibly exaggerated perspective which is a hallmark of ultra-wide lenses. Like all XF-mount prime lenses, the aperture ring on this one has an A position to let the camera automatically choose the aperture. When ...
Now onto my favorite X Series lenses. XF 14mm f/2.8 I’m a wide angle guy. Always have been. Ever since I first picked up a used Nikon 28mm lens back in the summer of 1990, I’ve been hooked on shooting the wide views. For years, my SLR lens of choice was the Nikon 24mm f/...
Fuji lenses don't have AF/MF switches because every camera in the Fuji system used to have a focus mode lever right on the body where it belongs, but now that this camera has had that amputated, you're dead in the water unless you revert to menus....
Focussing regime:I always move my focus zone to where it is needed before I take the picture. This is because the Fuji X system lenses are flat field meaning a focus reframe method of shooting doesn’t work with subjects off centre in the frame [see note below]. The added advantage of...
