Thanks for this posting. With the line of thunderstorms last night I lost my T1 for awhile. How long? Don't know. I went to bed. Let's see how this does in comparison to the camera's processing.

According to Andy Westlake, one of the primary reviewers DPREVIEW, the raw files for the 18 and 60 mm Fujinon lenses contain lens correction data that LR automatically applies upon import.

The corrections are for barrel and pincushion distortion as well as for vignetting, Andy does not mention the 35 mm lens. Longitudinal CA is not addressed. However I find the 18 mm's CA is well corrected using the new eye-dropper tool in LR 4.

So, don't fret that there are no default ACR lens correction profiles for the XF lenses.
 
On a quick peek this morning, I did not see any big differences between camera JPG detail and Lightroom detail. I did notice that putting sharpening on 50 seems to improve detail.

Also, does anyone know of a good way to combine RAF and JPG files imported at different times without re-importing? Simple stacking is not that useful, and I don't want to lose the last month's worth of corrections.

Thanks

As an FYI, I came across this posting lately. Originally posted in Fuji rumors website. It is an interesting read split into a 3 part post from the developer of photoRaw app for the iPad and what he had to do to support the Fuji raw files. I am not sure if this was already post somewhere else on rff. But it helps to explain why Adobe has taken so long to ship a version of LR for this camera.

This has finally convinced me to buy Lightroom. Capture One still can't handle the fuji raw files. People seem to be pretty fond of LR, so I might as well give it a shot.
 
I just paid out 106 quid for LR4 to try to get some decent RAW support. No doubt I will get used to it in time but I am pretty disappointed at the time of writing.
 
So, everyone waited for Adobe only to find out Silkypix is the best RAW converter for X-Pro1?

The link GaryLH posted is a great read.
 
Seems silkypix was the only software to have Fuji's RAW algorithm, all the others have to code it themselves and that takes time...

Real lousy on Fuji's behalf to put out some great camera's and subsequently not share the RAW algorithm to their files...
 
I'm just starting to play with a couple quick snaps in LR. The reds look horrible through the LR4 so far. Not conclusive yet but sort of discouraging.
 
I hope that Silkypix comment was a joke because it isn't even close.

I just finished importing 1,000+ RAW files and have been going through a compare of the JPG's to the RAW files they look very comparable. Very pretty. There might be some occasional minor differences but it appears as though the LR team has nailed this one.

I'm very pleased with the overall IQ (even up to ISO3200) I'm getting from this combination of camera, lenses and software and how it fits into my style of shooting and workflow. Pixel-level detail that is troubling to some just doesn't bother me as it's more about the image and not some micro-dots.

Great news!

Yes, great news as its fixes quite a few of the problems that I had been experiencing – editing in external apps, importing the RAW files etc., buy one problem remains for me, I still can't get the Flickr to export any photographs. I went from lightroom 3 with the uploader working to Lightroom 4 where it broke. Now I'm using 4.1 and it's still broken: anyone know how to fix this? Strangely enough on my MacBook Air, a clean install of Lightroom 4 hasn't the Flickr problem, it works just fine as it wasn't upgraded from an older version.

I was just going by the articles writen by PhotoRaw developer. I have no experience with X-Pro1 or Silkypix. Still, ACR applying "pretty curves" (that mimic Fuji's jpg engine) after demosaicing is not a proof of a superior raw converter, IMHO.
