Loving my Fuji gear Weka. The .RAFS shine using capture one. There’s a free “express” version for Fuji if you haven’t seen it.

what did you get?

Ive decided on the 50S 32-64 and 100-200 + EV adapter .........however besides not having a job, I'm still having trouble going from 16mm-400mm down to 25-160mm on fuji. Progear have 50s and 32-64 secondhand at moment, 50s is half the new price.

Much better dynamic range

I would sell my 5Ds for it

I have the Fuji X-T2 body with the 18-55 "kit" lens - which I find fantastic. I have the 55-200 and last year purchased the 10-24 - both of which I'm also really happy with. My photography bug has waned over the last year or two but I feel a wee tad of enthusiasm sneaking in. As I mentioned, Capture One works well with the Fuji X Trans sensor - some raw images I have really battled with until I found some professional Fuji photographers explaining the difference between bayer and x-trans sensors, and how most major editing software does not handle the x-trans that well. The theme was certainly that Capture One had invested in development for Fuji gear and after trying the express version which breathed new life into images I had hitherto written off. I purchased the Fuji-only version for NZ$175 and really enjoying it.

Certainly the theme seems to be that Lightroom and Fuji X-trans don't play nicely together but C1 is fantastic.

I have a .RAF I shot the other day with wide dynamic range - lots of highlights and shadow - PM me if you want it and I'll get it to you to play with.

Here's the link for Capture One Express if you need it..

https://www.captureone​.com …ture-one-express/fujifilm

The Fuji GFX50 and 100 cameras use a Bayer pattern filter, it's the same Sony sensor used by Phase and Hasselblad.
Only the smaller X series cameras have the xtrans sensor, which is the much smaller APS-C.

There you go! I didn’t know that - I haven’t followed the GFX series that closely as I can't justify one just yet..

Windy afternoon up the Awhitu. I wonder if this church is the North Islands version of "that tree"

Nice - and quite cheap too by comparison to Akl prices...

I hope who ever buys it understands that the wind factor there will rattle the building, yrs ago we looked at a property around the corner from that with similar view.
Must admit its a nice part of Auckland

I was a tad optimistic trying for a 60 second exposure yesterday - wind was at least 35 knots But you’re right - great part of the country.

There is a couple of spots just before hamiltons gap that have nice roling hills and big trees there is photo in there but no where to pull car over and park late afternoon would be best time

Boo! Long time no speak.

I'm glad to see that you're still over thinking everything Tony.
