Not yet. I have the XF 14/2.8, 23/1.4, 35/1.4, 56/1.2 & 60/2.4 Macro and 
have a Viltrox 75/1.2 on the way. It's coming from the manufacturer in 
China, so lord only knows how long it will take. They say March 7th, but 
I'm not holding my breath.

I do have an an XF to K adapter and I used the 77 a little bit on my X-T1.
I might play around with some of my longer K Mount glass at some point. 
I don't see any reason to put the shorter glass on as the Fuji glass is 
as good, if not better, than the Pentax glass that I have that has 
aperture rings.
At the moment I am trying to get Pixel Shift and Focus Bracketing to 
work for me.
Pixel shift is way easier on the Pentax, probably because there is more 
margin for error on a 36mp full frame than a 40mp APS-C sensor. I have 
yet to get Pixel Shift to run with no errors.
I more or less have Focus Bracketing sorted out, the only issue I have 
with it is how hard my computer has to work to sort out the 80mb files 
in a stack.
The menu structure is pretty good, but it doesn't give any hints about 
why some items are grayed out, which is annoying, and the owners manual 
is both less than helpful and also digital only.

I much prefer paper manuals.

You got the technically excellent, but missed out on the total crap.

Nice shot.

Thanks. This should make amends for the technical excellence accusation.

Re: Peso: Max with the X-T5

[Bill]

Thanks Paul. That's a young tree we have growing at the top of the 
stairs to our second floor. I just ran a tape measure from it to where 
Max was at the top of the stairs, it's 4 feet from where he was to the 
front of the tree, which has an ~18" deep canopy.


I think us full frame guys forget how much DOF is gained from the 
smaller format. Maybe if I can get him to cooperate tomorrow I'll try to 
match that picture with the K1 & FA*85/1.4 at the same f stop and see 
how it looks. Dogs are only somewhat cooperative in these activities, so 
success is not guaranteed.

The XT-5 is 40mp, so the images are very close to the same size as the K1.
The Pentax is 7360 x 4912, the Fuji is 7728 x 5152.
Size wise, my K1 DNGs vary in size from just over 43mb to a bit under 
47mb. The XT-5 files are all in the 47.5mb range.


For the interested, the camera does an incredible pixel shift, taking 20 
images and combining them into a full bit depth 160mp image. It doesn't 
combine them in the camera, Fuji has some downloadable software that 
does the job. I suspect that is way too much processing to ask a camera 
to do.
It also does automatic focus stacks where you set the near and far 
points that you want sharp and push the button. The camera figures out 
how many focus points are needed and takes a picture at each one for as 
many frames as are needed. I'm going to find that super useful as a lot 
of my pictures involve focus stacking.
I don't think they can be combined like in Pentax. It's something I will 
have to try. The files would be magnificent. I want a faster card for 
that. I'm betting it will be a lot of data.


I have two, possibly three portrait shoots set for tomorrow. I'm going 
to use the Fuji rather than the K1 and see how it does.
