Re: Fun with the Fuji X-Pro 2 -- some comments
Before I forget, I've noticed that the Fuji is set up with less headroom than I am used to. I've lost detail in highlights before getting used to setting exposure compensation at -.3 to .7 stops in bright long scale scenes. And the clattering that the 23/1.4 lens makes due to constant autofocus, that I have also seen remarked on in reviews, finally stopped when I set single AF not only in the menus but also with the little three position knob on the front of the camera. Having the electronic shutter to supplement the mechanical one for shutter speeds above 1/8000 sec is helpful. I've seen shots wide open that came in at 1/18000 sec.
The OOC Jpegs are fairly good, but have dark shadows when I protect the highlights, so I am currently developing the RAF files into linear DNGs using AccuRaw, then finishing and fine-tuning with Capture One, which won't support 24 MPx Fuji RAF files until 9.2 at the earliest. I'm also hoping that C1 will be able to work with the lossless compressed RAF files that LR handles, but AccuRaw cannot. It appears that fairly close cooperation with Fuji is needed to sort this out. The result is that each raw file plus jpeg combination that I shoot now takes up 150 MB when it could be about 25-30 MB.
