Post your X100 photos

Jbielikowski, nice stuff. Any personal reason why use the Fuji DR settings and not shoot RAW instead?

That's great, Helen! I bought the original X100 new, when it first came out, and never regretted it. It makes great pictures, and the hybrid viewfinder is a joy to use. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
BTW, I use the domed hood for the Pentax DA 40/2.8 Limited lens on my X100 - keeps thing nice and compact.
 
ok, I did it !
took quite alot of hemming and hawing on my part...

I ordered from Stephen-CameraQuest the X100F 😱 😀

I will admit it... I am never faithful in the 'World of Digi'
Did not want to make a big Investment (leica)

Could not decide between the new XT20 / XF 50 f2
which felt fantastic in the Hands and I loved the 'Touch' options
but there was something that just pulled at me for Miss x100F

Those were the Two fuji's that drew my Attention
Now One will soon be mine ... Yippee !

Helen, please share your experiences with the X100F. I've been waffling on the same decision myself, and also drawn to the X-T20 for 50mm capability and flip screen.

We know you love 50mm, so it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Cool, Great to hear from You Ari !
Thanks for the Hood Tip... Should receive it Tuesday , end of day
Glad to see You have One, Use it, Love it !

Helen, not sure if you've seen yet that the lens doesn't have traditional female filter threads, but male instead. You need an adapter to mount filter or hood.

And yes -- Fuji really has something special with this camera series.
 
Still learning the camera, and trying to figure out whether my images are in focus or not (I am used to a D750 and maybe I have some learning curve with this one) Nevertheless, I took these yesterday and today, they're JPG through wi-fi, so not hi-res.

I have some work to do creating better images with it, but I don't believe the camera is the limiting factor..

Congrats on the X100F Helen. I love mine. I have posted a couple of experiments in my 'test' gallery:

https://kirkh.smugmug.com/Photography/Test/

The first three shots are actually three different takes on Acros 100. You can see the captions when looking at a shot by moving the cursor just below the bottom edge of a given photo. The first is with the X100F simulated Acros at ISO3200 and neutral density filter (this gives some graininess). The second is 35mm film Acros 100 in my Leica MP. The third is 120 film Acros 100 in my Fuji GF670. The simulated Acros on the X100F is pretty convincing.

The final three shots are an experiment with the 50mm 'digital teleconverter' on the X100F. In this mode the camera takes a 50mm field of view crop of the 35mm field of view original, then up-res's the result to 24MP. The first shot is the regular 35mm fov. The second is my crop (in lightroom) to 50mm fov with no up-res. The third is the up-res'd 50mm fov shot using the digital teleconverter. These are all at 2048 pixels wide on Smugmug, so it is not a true test of the quality of the digital teleconverter. But at 100% in lightroom I really can't see a significant loss of quality.

This is probably the coolest digicam I have ever owned.

Cheers,
Kirk

Kirk,

Thank you for sharing these here. I have not compared Acros simulated to the real Acros film yet, but recently shooting with my X Pro 2 played with a file comparing the Acros G simulation to RAW. I still preferred the RAW result but find the simulation to be really good. I am still working on tweaking in-camera settings. Fun to see this comparison. On my monitor the simulation looks a bit more like the 120 sample you posted 🙂

Really great picture !
The colour is very nice.
Can you share any tips on your colour grading process ?

Thanks

Thank you Tony!

most of the time I start with a custom ACR presets based on vsco presets (they gave away some time ago basic kit with Provia, Gold and a few more). I spent some time tweaking them to my liking, but still they need to be adjusted to every single picture. Oh and ACR has really ugly "grain". You really want to keep it subtle with grading, and the real deal are curves and shadow/highlights. Bit more blacks with bumped midtones and preserved highlights. I also like to use "auto-color" tool right after initial grading, often only to undo it or tone to 20%, but it makes keeping grays gray easier. I often make so many versions of one picture that I start to hate it.

I found a silver X100F last Saturday at my local Best Buy and bought it. I always wanted to try one, but took it back today. Love the color output and overall design and build quality, but don't care for its ergonomics or zone focusing capability. I decided to stick with my GR. Perhaps a GR III will arrive soon.
