Shooting wide open with the Fuji X-Pro1 in daylight to isolate the subject, and blur out the background requires an ND filter. Which one?
So the reason why I wanted an ND filter was because the filter will reduce the amount of light that goes through my lens, allowing me to shoot at wider apertures. Many buy a F1.4 lens to shoot in darker situations because it allows more light into the lens. But some like the effects that shooting wide open can generate. What effects are these?

It’s not often I get excited about camera gear as I’m very much a “it’s-not-about-the-camera” kind of photographer but the new Fuji X Pro-1 has me quite excited! I’m not going to bore you with all the technical details that you can read on the camera geek websites; I’ll talk about why this camera is or is not suitable as a camera for professional wedding photographer use (or maybe as an SLR alternative to my clients who have photographic aspirations), image quality and overall feel. This definitely isn’t the kind of blog post that I normally do but there’s so little information and quality reviews by working professional photographers about this camera that I want to share my thoughts. This is going to serve as my preliminary thoughts, I’ll post a more comprehensive review with sample images later. Note that at this time Lightroom does not support the RAW files from the X Pro-1 so I will be shooting jpeg and thus heavily relying on the in-camera processing.

I have now spent a few days with the new Fujifilm X-Pro1. I must say that thus far I am very impressed. The most important thing that I can report on to date is that the IQ is remarkably good. Easily the best I have seen on any 1.5/1.6-crop sensor. A number of folks have already posted RAW images. I hope to get around to showing some of my own images very soon, but here I’ll describe the basic camera control layout.

When the sun comes out in Northern Ireland there is nothing like a visit to Coney Island beach and surrounding area. Home of the film The Shore and the famous song by Van Morrison the views are breathtaking set to the soundtrack of literally total silence. I am continuing to use my mono Lightroom 4 preset as a starting point to these black and white landscape images adjusting the levels of black where necessary.

For charm alone the luxurious, premium-feel Fuji X-Pro1 is the most exciting and interesting release in the Compact System Camera world since Olympus’ original E-P1 digital Pen of 2012.
Like that camera, the Fuji is not a mass-market product. The period of familiarisation required, the attention to detail that has been put into the build and the serious price tag all see to that.
What the Fuji X-Pro1 does offer, as well as an enticing alternative to anyone who has ever lusted after a Leica camera before. It’s an opportunity to leave that bulky enthusiast digital SLR at home and still be able to achieve impressive image quality. We found that, because of the X-Pro1’s size and features set, it worked well as a shoot-from-the-hip camera for street photography and reportage.

The X-Pro 1 autofocus is surprisingly good at locking onto moving targets – humans, bicycles and cars can all be caught with relative ease. First, set the X-Pro on AF-S (NOT AF-C). The trick is to depress the shutter in one go – the camera may take 1/4 of a second to sort out the focus, but it feels like there is some sort of an algorithm that compensates for that 1/4 second (or however long focusing takes) and puts the plane of focus into the right position.
If you’ve been brought up on DSLRs the overwhelming urge is to half press the shutter to get focus – do this on the X-Pro 1 and the autofocus will fail on fast moving objects. Mash the shutter (gently) in one go and it works really well, even at f.1.4 with taxis.

Although the lens will fit physically,automatic diaphragm,auto-focusing,or any other function will not operate correctly while using this adapter.
In this case “stop-down mode” will need to be used when metering since he lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body.You can shoot with manual mode or aperture priority mode.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Fuji releases a delightful camera that’s not quite like anything else out there, but it comes with all sorts of quirks.
A lot of you will remember that the same thing could have been said about the X100, but honestly you can say the same of all of Fuji’s professional digital camera line-up, going back more than 12 years to the “frankencameras,” S1 and S2 Pro, which had great technology at the time but also felt like welded-on digital backs for the Nikon F60 and F80, respectively. They’re weird, they’re wild, and generally I love them for it. I ground the S2 Pro into fine dust from overuse, and the S5 Pro helped see me through the dark days of Nikon bodies with terrible high-ISO quality.
