Very Interesting Podcast with Damien Lovegrove

Very interesting depthoffield Podcasts! Generous with his knowledge and experience, fellow X-Photographer Damien Lovegrove speaks with Matt Brandon about creating what he calls that “big picture equation” that helps a photographer stay afloat financially. They also spoke about developing a style that is uniquely yours and how critical this is to your work. Matt asks Damien straight out, are X-photographers promoting G.A.S. “Gear Acquisition Syndrome” and so much, much more. Listen it here.

Tethered Shooting Software

The Tethered Shooting Software HS-V5 Ver.1.2 for Windows and the Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Ver.1.2 are now available for download.

Windows users can purchase the HS-V5 software for tethered shooting in Europe at AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonITA, AmazonFRA and AmazonESP… still not listed as available in major US stores. How To Get the HS-V5 Tethered Software in USA: Here is how a FR reader bought his HS-V5 copy in USA – “Tethered Shooting Software is available in the United States directly from Fuji USA. Call (800) 800-3854 [FujifilmUSA Customer Information Services] – Prompt #4 (Parts). There you can order Fuji’s HS-V5 Tethered Shooting Software for the Fuji X-T1. The software price is $121.63, plus $9.95 shipping, plus tax (if you live in New Jersey). I ordered it over the phone with a credit card. Kelley [Fujifilm employee] told me that the HS-V5 software is available at retail in the U.S. at stores like B&H and Adorama, but they do not show it online.”

Dpreview (read here) just posted the full X-PRO2 review:

The X-Pro2 is a significant upgrade over the original Pro1, improved in every respect to give a much faster and more flexible tool.
More so than most cameras, it’s one that if you get it, you should considering getting it, and if you don’t, then you’ll probably miss the point entirely. Personally I loved it: because of its specialism, not in spite of it.

The camera earned a Silver award and has those Pros and Cons according to the DPreview team:

Pros:

  • Excellent JPEG output with good choice of color modes
  • Raw performance comparable with best-in-class
  • Class-leading high ISO performance
  • Distinguished design with solid, sealed build
  • Good single AF performance, reasonable in continuous AF
  • Unique and enjoyable hybrid viewfinder system
  • Sensible degree of customization
  • ‘My Menu’ feature simplifies access to settings you frequently change
  • Greatly improved video results work well with Film Simulation modes
  • Most responsive X series camera yet
  • Twin card slots
  • In-camera Raw conversion and Wi-Fi let you modify and share images quickly
  • DR modes let you easily exploit the sensor’s dynamic range

Cons:

  • Video and supporting features aren’t cutting edge
  • Continuous AF Tracking lags the best in class [Note: I hope they enabled High Performance mode]
  • ISO dial is attractive but impractical
  • Battery life disappointing (especially when using EVF)
  • No USB charging option
  • No focal-length dependent threshold for Auto ISO mode
  • Q Menu doesn’t allow exploration of options for each setting
  • Wi-Fi connection can be temperamental when making connection
