    Weekly X-Series Photo-Sharing Thread 21 JUL – 27 JUL

    Hello, everyone and thanks for making Contributions to this worthwhile endeavor,

    This weekly thread serves as a place for those DPRevived.com members who own Fuji gear to share recent work …… specifically, with their Fuji X APS-C cameras. It's just fine for owners to post images made with their “other” cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with Fuji X APS-C cameras to compare notes, tips, and any other helpful hints.

    To contribute your image, please respond to the original thread. Please include at the top your message a title to reflect what you wish to convey. Consider making it somewhat entertaining… it may add some “spice.” In addition to uploading/embedding your image, please tell us a little about the image if you wish. It is helpful to some of us who are less traveled to talk about the location of your photo if possible. If you can provide details such as camera, settings, and processing, that would be great for people reviewing the images.

    If you wish C&C (comments/critique) please indicate that in your post. In this thread it should not be assumed everyone wants C&C. However, if you want specific feedback (composition, exposure, subject, etc.), don’t hesitate to mention it. It may be helpful to respondents what your needs may be.

    Thanks,

    Bob, your humble host

    PS…… We're getting fewer participants as the weeks move forward. With DPReview having been rescued there are many returning there to display their work. But don't be reluctant to show it here. Bob and Alan have worked quite diligently on this website project and it would be worthwhile showing them appreciation by sharing some of your Fuji work.

    To repeat what I said in the initial thread post: We're getting fewer participants as the weeks move forward. With DPReview having been rescued there are many returning there to display their work. But don't be reluctant to show it here. Bob and Alan have worked quite diligently on this website project and it would be worthwhile showing them appreciation by sharing some of your Fuji work.

    One more from my frankengear setup.

    XH2s with xf 1.4 tc plus fringer proii and tamron tc1.4 with tamron 100-400

    Roughly F11 1/1600s 784 (1176mm equiv) iso800
    The tc behind the fringer does not get added in.

    Trying out the extra long reach.

    Just a straight up pic of an Australasian Grebe I took on Monday at the local lake in Bicentennial Park in Sydney with the XH2s and XF100-400mm.
    Cropped and processed in DXO Photolab 6 and size increased in Topaz AI.

    For the first time since I bought it, I took my 33mm lens out for a try. What a lovely lens it is too. F1.4 is amazing. Such narrow DoF if you let it - and I did with the picture below. The nose is clear, all else blurred - superb. (I don't say it's a good picture, but it proved what I wanted to try out).

    and I also liked this - where the camera (X-T5) and lens was able to focus through the branches onto the statue.

    Comments appreciated.

    and your X-T5 didn't miss the focus in the images! Did you try pressing the BBF or shutter and check the distance scale?
