poison people who look through the thread ma brows.gif

btw anyone using the additional grip that comes with the x-pro 1/xe1/2? I tested it out and I don't find a big difference..prefer it without the additional grip actually..with that grip it makes my fingers so uncomfortable (esp my pinky and ring finger)..

yup this i have to agree with you. when I was in Seoul the temperature was about -5º for 1 or 2 days..took about 50 shots each day still had half battery

but the body is DAMN cold..i don't like wearing gloves so the full metal body of the xp1 and the 23mm is freezing  sweat.gif

Yup..my X-E1 don't have. I wish next update body like X-E1 got face recognition.

i think having grad nd filter is better. as compared to HSS as we need a highly powered lighting to make a high speed sync flash.

it might be an alternative to HSS smile.gif

should be same as phone premium SP ie scratch proof. be first to review smile.gif

I am still tkinking getting 14mm, should I sell 35mm and cos 23mm seems more forgiving. I wish the x-e1 have face detection. below f4 at the street is not easy for 35mm in crowded scene especially without the focus distance indicator.
*
is it face detection really important to you? hmm.gif

the 16-50mm lens actually cover the FOV of 18mm and 27mm, which i think there is no reason for you go buy those three lens together, in the end you will just stick to either one.
so for your case, 16-50mm is sure come with your XM-1, and does it still have the free 18mm f2 lens deal? if have then grab it fast. The 18mm f2 lens is a very fast lens and you will appreciate the f2, compared to the 27mm f2.8

i assume your night view picture are those like putrajaya night scene? then 18mm f2 is surely yours, but if got money go grab the 14mm f2.8. For now grab the XM-1 with 16-50mm and the 18mm (if the 18mm free deal is still available), and you are good to go!

between xf 18 and xf 14 which one would you recommend? i read somewhere that xf 18 is sharper though hmm.gif

exposure compensation dial is to set what kind of exposure u want. 0 means the exposure is like how u see it, u + 1/3 +2/3 +1 it will make the photo brighter by camera setting, EG if it is in aperture priority mode then it will use a slower shutter speed or higher ISO if auto ISO. opposite for -1/3 -2/3 -1..faster shutter speed/lower ISO
*
okay2.now i get it.im already read the manual but dont really understand.

the exposure com is useless if we go full manual mode.it is only can used if we set either aperture or shutter set manually

btw,it's an amazing camera.coming from samsung nx1000 which is APSC sensor to x-e1,im extremely happy with the result.especially the colour.

u gotta love it drool.gif

the above is x-e1 and below is nx1000 (both is sooc)

Hm how about for you who uses a D800?

Of course the XE2 and 23mm will perform not as well, but is it good enough for your needs? (e.g. taking picture of stranger walking in the street)
Also the EVF in low light, does it "lag"? Back with my XE1 I decided to sell it after realizing that it was nearly impossible to focus AND manual focus in low light because of how the EVF was refreshing at like 7-10 frames per second ): like watching stop motion.
*
i finally find a way to focus in low light. we need to set to the focus into continous AF and at the same time hold the AE /AF button anytime we wanna take a picture.and the camera focus correctly wink.gif

this is impossible in manual and single AF mode.

about the lag in evf, it doensnt bother me really much as for me, as long as the camera can focus properly it is already enuf.

luckily the evf doenst lag a lot in good light conditiom biggrin.gif

Hi! I'm using the Eye-Fi card on my X-Pro1, which in turns sends all my photos back to my Nexus 7. So far I don't have any complains on how it works. The X-Pro1 have this nifty feature that allows the camera to go into powered stand-by mode for 20 minutes (I think), so your pictures will still transfer even after you flip the power to OFF!

Battery consumption wise, yeah it will probably shave some life off your battery but... the convenience of having your photos appear on a tablet with bigger screen can easily outweigh that concern.
*
what version of eyefi u are using? is it mobi or pro x2?

what about convenience? i read most people using it find it difficult to set up blabla.

and the transfer speed?

im considering ez share wifi card. but never read its review

That depends on you, normally a lens hood will be good enough to prevent unwanted damage to your lens. If you want to be more rest assured, a good lens filter is a good choice, there might be some very minor degrade, but if that doesn't bother you much, go for it.

A recommended filter would be by B+W nod.gif
*
oh but the lens hood might cause scratch on lens body. maybe im opting not to use it smile.gif

i wanna try putting graduated nd filter. any brand? is it 3rd party filter is really that bad? hmm.gif

Good point lol! As for me I bought EM5 because I thought I could never live without viewfinder, but after a few years ahem... tiltable LCD viewfinder made me forget about the EVF. Wondering if anyone here experienced the same thing.
*
just my 2 sen.

coming from a non evf camera, i found that it is extremely useful to have evf, mainly to compose ur pic particularly the exposure.i tend to get a wrong exposed photo especially when shooting in low contrast area.

just my opinion la. i dont know the opinion from a evf cam user to a non evf cam user blush.gif

I used my existing Filter set onthe XM-1 with step up rings. The kit lens for XM-1 is a bit flimsy with large filter. So, you may want to consider smaller filter (e.g. Seven5 Micro Filter System )  if its only meant for this system.

I am using LEE Filter set. ( You can google for LEE filter for more information )

oh. i just buy cokin p set. only the holder is the ori one. the ori one is 3rd party filter. dunno gonna be good or not sweat.gif

btw anyone here has been using xf 18? how is it compared to xc 16-50?
i thought of buying xc 16-50 as it has wider field of view and cheaper also.
is it any difference in sharpness,distortion control etc?
