Finally Online: the Fujifilm X100T review of riflessifotografici! Here an excerpt:

I lately switched from the X-Pro1 to the X-T1 and sometimes I found myself thinking nostalgically to the “old” Hybrid viewfinder. This is not to say that the electronic viewfinder is not good, because it’s not true. The electronic viewfinder is what makes CSC cameras special since you can visualize what would be the final result before you push the shutter button. The thing is that, sometimes, photography is not necessarily rational. Sometimes instinct wins over thinking, the heart wins over the brain…sometimes you just touch a camera and it’s love at first sight…You either love it immediately or you’ll never love it. Again, this is not rational, but we all know it works like that.”

Look at these 100% CROPS – Lightroom 6.1 significantly improves Halo Effect : Adobe Unlocking the Full X-TRANS Potential

LR 5.7 Vs. LR 6.1 100% Crop Comparison

_ _ _

It seems that Adobe is about to unlock the Full Potential of the X-TRANS sensor… and yesterday they made the first important step.

As demonstrated by FXF Member BarwickGreen in this FXF thread, the annoying halo effect has been significantly improved! He shared & compared some 100% crops here processed in LR5.7 and LR6… and I definitely like the results :) .

And this is just the beginning. In fact, Adobe is also working to “improve fine detail rendering and overall edge definition.”

So Adobe’s poor X-TRANS demosaicing was not just a placebo or pixel peeper problem ;)… and I’m happy to see them finally sorting out this issue.

Feel Free to Share your own tests in this thread here.

Fujifilm HS-V5 Tethered Shooting PC Software available in Europe… and how it will run on MAC, too!

 

Fuji’s tethered shooting odyssey is slowly nearing its end. After UK, now the HS-V5 Tethered Shooting Software is available also in Amazon Germany and Amazon France.

It’s a PC only software, so MAC users have to wait for a dedicated Adobe Plug-in, which will be available (not for free) sometimes at the Adobe Exchange site… or do it like Rico, who explained in his X-T1 tethering shooting article here:

Mac OS users will have to install a (virtual) Windows machine on their computer. Personally, I was using Parallels Desktop and Windows 8.1 to check out a pre-release version of HS-V5 on my MacBook Pro.”
