Potential Fuji XT-2 purchase

[helen.HH]

Helen - love the images! Reds are reds but the overall color palette seems muted, which is appropriate for the image. I like the 3D pop and the ACROS film simulation. I want to compare that with my B&W workflow using Silver EFEX.

Thanks,
Keith

Thank You !
Cool, please post Your silver Effex & fuji files
I just have lightroom ... old version maybe 5

Great work Helen. I've always admired your sensibilities and your talent, and I have to agree with your assessment of the Fujis for b/w. I seem to have pretty consistent tonal range throughout, and I use mine almost exclusively in b/w - not with your skills, certainly, but I am happy with my results.

Sweet Mark, very kind, Thank You ~
though I do think fir Me , if I like the rendering of the sensor, nail exposure, files do not need much tweaking
post sone B&W , would love to see them !

Sure, those look fine. I don't want to sound like a FF bigot, but to my eye X-Trans doesn't match digital M BW richness. And I suspect that would also hold for the A7R series, which the OP uses.

made me Giggle John... FF bigot sounds so funny, never heard that before
it's really all so personal, what one will put up with, what one loves
I do not think about FF much... just try cameras ... Desire Atmosphere in my shot... see if I fall in love with sensor/lens rendering, and ergonomics
I'm a fickle girl with most things
and a few select things passionately obsessive

.... my M-mount lenses (21-25-35-50)....

Any gotchas that I should be aware of?

32-38-52-75.
Not 21, but 32. 25 is 38. It just sucks.

I made some comparison lately and with most current MFT cameras it looks promising as small size kit.
In FF equivalent - 30mm f1.7 Summilux for $550, 50mm f1.4 Summilux ASPH for $600.
Or MFT most cute camera with 34mm (FFE) f1.7 lens which just like RF lens has DOF and focus scales, plus AF for 1373$ kit.

And to me more DOF on larger aperture is advantage. I'm not into "one eye and only in focus" photography, but using lower ISO is beneficial.
