Thanks for your comment. Yes...Hey Xseriesthinker, <br /><br />Thanks for your comment. Yes, being from Japan, I know Fuji is a very common name. Mt.Fuji, Fuji Television (major TV network), Fuji Heavy Industries (they own Subaru), the Fuji apple (named after town that invented it, Fujisaki); there's even a chain of grocery stores in Vancouver named Fuji-Ya (or Fuji Store)!! And yes, I love my Fuji track bike, very nice indeed. <br /><br />One day when film will no longer be mainstream, and our grandchildren ask us why a company that makes solar powered digital optical glasses has the word "film" in it, we can tell them the history of photography and the good old film days of long, long ago (as we take out our relic Leica M6 out from storage).Bigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-33559630232630287712013-08-03T11:12:53.492-07:002013-08-03T11:12:53.492-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-4232686794519717082013-07-31T19:53:52.081-07:002013-07-31T19:53:52.081-07:00Hi again.

Just realised (starting with your blog header photo and ending with your 'about' info) that you absolutely don't need to read my blog entry, cos it contains nothing that you don't already know. You even have a Fuji bike!<br /><br />Right, after making a public idiot of myself, I'm giving up on blogs for today, and going back to watching Sazaesan.<br /><br />Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-33440904779291595782013-07-31T19:50:58.182-07:002013-07-31T19:50:58.182-07:00Thought you might be interested to know, in Japan ...Thought you might be interested to know, in Japan the word Fuji is extremely common as a business name, usually appended somehow with other words to help differentiate each company or corporation.<br /><br />I just wrote a bit more about this on my blog here, if you're interested (not trying to spam you - honest)<br />http://fujifilmxseries.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/on-names/<br /><br />Take care.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-59012777889726622882013-07-30T20:10:09.550-07:002013-07-30T20:10:09.550-07:00Jpegs only.

As for sharpening, I always add a bit of sharpening, but nothing aggressive. I find Fuji is not aggressive with sharpening on their Jpegs, which is a good thing. You lose detail when you're too aggressive. So after uploading, a bit of sharpening is needed on these files.Bigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-23715865298522387902013-07-30T20:07:46.552-07:002013-07-30T20:07:46.552-07:00Thanks for your correction.

I confused their wording of APS-C CMOS sensor with EXR Processor as meaning X-Trans, but it's completely different.<br /><br />As for the lens on the X-100S, I find that its a bit too soft for me at F/2. If they made a more humble F/2.8 like Ricoh, I believe it would be acceptably sharp wide open. The way it is now, I usually shot at F/2.8-4 to make sure it's sharp, which I'm ok with. The new 23mm F/1.4 is great, as long as it's sharp wide open.<br /><br />Thanks for your correction, opinion, and comments!

X100 of course did not have Xtrans sensor, it has a regular crop sensor (12MP) which was CMOS and it was pretty good one, but it was a regular non X-trans sensor. Xpro1 was the first camera with Xtrans sensor. Now that is why some people swear by X100 (not S) because they just cannot stand the Xtrans sensor colors and quality and say it is just not the same as it was on X100. I am on the other hand love what I am seeing from Xtrans sensor (on my XE1, I have no intention of getting X100s as 35mm is not my preferred focal length, plus 23/1.4 lens is coming out very soon and it will be better 35mm equivalent than the 23/2.0 on X100s). So Give me Xtrans any day of the week. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193864507814205157noreply@blogger.com
