Mother nature puts on a show at Carrizo Plain National Monument in Central California. I have never seen this kind of display of flowers in all my years of photography and seeking out this kind of spectacle. Lots of rain last year germinated a lot of seeds and sunshine at the right time made them explode. Entire hillsides completely covered in flowers. <br />

The system quickly grows, Canon is making sure the Pro lenses are there for users that require the Pro level lenses. This is going to be very interesting. The RF 70-200 f/2.8 shows what the advantage of this system will be like. Having a 70-200 f/2.8 at that size is a great advantage in size and weight over their legacy system.<br />

<h2>
<b>FUJIFILM ANNOUNCES THE NEW X-T3, A MIRRORLESS DIGITAL CAMERA EVOLVING X SERIES INTO FOURTH GENERATION</b></h2>
<i>New X-T3 introduces all-new back-illuminated 26MP X-Trans CMOS 4
sensor and X-Processor 4 processor; World’s first APS-C mirrorless
camera capable of 4K/60P 10bit recording</i><br />
<b>Valhalla, N.Y., September 6, 2018 </b>– FUJIFILM North America Corporation today unveiled the new <b>FUJIFILM X-T3</b>,
launching the X Series mirrorless digital cameras into its fourth
generation. Introducing an all-new back-illuminated 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4
sensor and X-Processor 4 processor, the X-T3 delivers superb image
quality, dramatically improved AF performance, exceptional tracking
performance of fast-moving subjects and blackout-free burst shooting.
The X-T3 is also the first APS-C mirrorless camera capable of 4K/60P
10bit recording to meet the needs of professional videographers.<br />
“We are proud to introduce the new X-T3 to market as not only the
latest addition to our X Series mirrorless lineup of digital cameras,
but as an introduction to fourth generation technologies that feature
substantial performance enhancements over previous models, delivering
high AF performance, superb color reproduction and outstanding image
quality to photographers and videographers alike,“ said Yuji Igarashi,
General Manager of the Electronic Imaging Division and Optical Devices
Division of FUJIFILM North America Corporation.<br />
<b>Fourth Generation X-Trans CMOS 4 and X-Processor 4 for
Improved Resolving Performance, Color Reproducibility, and Faster
Processing</b><br />
Featuring the latest, fourth generation 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 APS-C
sensor with no optical low-pass filter, the FUJIFILM X-T3 boasts the
highest performance in the history of X Series. Utilizing the unique
color filter array of X-Trans CMOS sensors to control moiré and false
colors, it is the first APS-C back-illuminated structure sensor with
phase detection pixels distributed across the surface to improve image
resolution without compromising signal to noise ratio. With the X-T3,
ISO160 is now part of the standard ISO range, previously this was only
available as extended ISO, perfect for use in bright scenes or when
trying to shoot wide open with a fast, large-aperture lens.<br />
The new X-T3 debuts the X-Processor 4 processor which features a Quad
Core CPU to achieve a processing speed 3 times faster than current X
Series models. Providing incredible AF accuracy and speed, the processor
is also the first to deliver 4K/60P 10bit output, fulfilling the
performance needs of professional videographers. It is also capable of
implementing complex image processing tasks in an instant, such as the
unique FUJIFILM Color Chrome Effect or Monochrome Adjustment function.<br />
The new FUJIFILM X-T3 features the Color Chrome Effect, previously
limited to the FUJIFILM GFX 50S medium format mirrorless digital camera,
which produces enhanced color gradation in highly saturated colors such
as vivid-colored flowers with shadows, a notoriously difficult subject
to reproduce. With the high-speed processing power of the X-Processor 4,
this effect can be applied not only to a single shot but also during
continuous shooting.<br />
<b>Exceptional Autofocus and Viewfinder Performance </b><br />
With the X-T3, AF performance receives a dramatic improvement from
previous X Series products, increasing the phase detection AF area to
the entire frame with 2.16M phase detection pixels providing fast and
accurate phase detection AF. The low-light phase detection AF limit has
been increased over the X-T2 by 2 stops, from -1EV to -3EV, making it
possible for photographers to accurately focus in low light conditions,
perfect for night photography.<br />
Furthermore, the X-Processor 4’s high processing speed and excellent
phase detection algorithm means the camera refocuses (AF) and meters
(AE) 1.5 times more frequently than the X-T2, enabling accurate
autofocus even when photographing subjects that change speed and move
erratically across the frame, such as sports photography. The
performance of Face Detection AF has also been improved. Eye Detection
AF now supports the AF-C mode to maintain accurate focus tracking. Face
and Eye Detection AF is also available during video recording to achieve
smooth filming of subjects.<br />
The X-T3 offers photographers incredible viewfinder performance, with
the ability to now track a moving subject in the 3.69-million-dot high
resolution EVF with a magnification ratio of 0.75x. Further the X-T3,
allows continuous shooting of 11fps with the mechanical shutter without
the optional vertical battery grip, enabling fast continuous shooting
while maintaining a low weight.<br />
Additional enhancements to the X-T3 include a display time lag of
just 0.005 seconds and a EVF refresh rate of 100fps for smooth display
of moving subject or when panning the camera. A new sports finder mode
for enhanced capture of moving subjects is especially useful for sports
and wildlife photography, and a new pre-shoot function, which allows
photographers to start shooting as soon as the shutter button is
half-pressed to ensure the moment is never missed.<br />
<b>Enhanced Video Performance to Meet the Needs of Professionals</b><br />
The X-T3 is the first mirrorless digital camera capable of internal
SD card 4K/60P 4:2:0 10bit recording and the first mirrorless digital
camera with APS-C or larger sensor that is capable of 4K/60P 4:2:2 10bit
HDMI output. Supported video formats include the widely-used
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC as well as H.265/HEVC for greater data compression,
which enables internal recording of 4K/60P 4:2:0 10bit at200Mbps bitrate
as well as simultaneous HDMI output. The X-T3 sensor’s read speed has
been increased from that of the X-T2, enabling17msec reading in 4K/60P
video, reducing rolling shutter distortion for smooth recording of
fast-moving subjects. 10bit color depth for video boosts the amount of
color information 64 times compared to 8bit, and is combined with
approximately. 12 stops dynamic range to enable capture of subjects with
rich gradation of color.<br />
Also introduced in the X-T3 is a new noise reduction algorithm and 4K
inter-frame noise reduction, the minimum sensitivity for shooting F-Log
footage has been lowered from ISO800 to ISO640, further enhancing the
camera’s performance to meet the needs of videographers.<br />
<b>Designed for Ultimate Operability</b><br />
Inheriting the popular design of the X-T2, dials are positioned on
the top panel, and the camera features a central viewfinder and
excellent grip design for stability and comfort. The X-T3 also
incorporates enhancements to its design, including a lockable EVF
diopter adjustment to prevent unintended adjustments while carrying the
camera, and a touchscreen panel with higher contrast, wider viewing
angles and better functionality for more intuitive operation. In
addition, the X-T3 offers larger top-panel dials than the X-T2, and
larger rear-panel buttons and a more pronounced press function of the
front and rear command dials, as found on the X-H1.<br />
<b>X-T3 Vertical Battery Grip </b><br />
The Vertical Battery Grip VG-XT3 is designed to be dust-resistant,
weather-resistant and capable of operating at temperatures as low as
-10°C/14° F, and holds two additional batteries to increase the maximum
number of shots to 1,100 (in normal mode). The grip features a shutter
release button, focus lever, AE-L button, AF-L button, front and rear
command dials, Q button and Fn button to provide the same level of
excellent operability with vertical shooting as with horizontal.<br />
<b>X-T3 Metal Hand Grip</b><br />
The MHG-XT3 Metal Hand Grip makes it substantially more comfortable
to hold the camera when it is mounted with a large-aperture lens, in
order to reduce camera shake. The battery or SD cards can be replaced
without having to remove the hand grip, and the base can be used as a
quick release shoe when using a dovetail mount on a tripod.<br />

Interesting entry level full frame mirror-less, pro version coming soon. I think we can assume the pro version will have the the missing elements that we don't see here. AF point toggle for starters, rear control dial, dual card slots...... The control ring added to the lenses looks very interesting. Canon looks to be on the right track. Now give me a 45mp pro version and I'm in. : )<br />

<h2>
<b>EVOLUTION MEETS REVOLUTION AS CANON ANNOUNCES THE ALL-NEW EOS R SYSTEM</b></h2>
<i>Optical Innovation Inspires the Next Leap Forward in Imaging<br /> </i><br />
<b>MELVILLE, N.Y., September 5, 2018 –</b> Canon U.S.A.
Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the next
revolution in the company’s long history of innovative and award-winning
camera systems, the EOS R system featuring the newly designed RF mount.
Recognizing the need to advance optical design, the Company sought to
create a versatile and powerful new system that supports all current EF,
EF-S, TS-E and MP-E lenses<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn1" name="_ednref1">[i]</a>, and also provides the optical advancements and engineering flexibility to build upon for years to come.<br />
When Canon set forth to develop a new interchangeable lens camera
system, they focused on three core optical principles: high-image
quality, high-specification performance, and compact design. Recognizing
that optics is the foundation for any camera system, the RF mount was
conceived to open new doors in optical design. Canon’s new RF mount
features the same size diameter as the EF mount (54mm) and shorter back
focus distance. This allows for lenses to sit closer to the sensor (the
focal plane) and allowed Canon optical engineers to reimagine lens
design utilizing larger rear lens elements to produce an image on the
full-frame sensor. This new optical formula has paved the way for higher
performing lenses. In addition, the Canon RF mount features a
high-speed 12-pin communication system that provides faster and more
in-depth communication between the camera and lens over existing Canon
mount systems.<br />
The EOS R system is designed for full, uninhibited compatibility with
all existing EF, EF-S, TS-E and MP-E lenses through the use of mount
adapters<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn2" name="_ednref2">[ii]</a>.
In addition, through the use of the optional Drop-In Filter Mount
Adapter or Control Ring Mount Adapter these lenses, in fact, gain
functionality.<br />
“There has never been a time in history in which visual expression
has been so prolific. Imaging, both still and video, are the
communication mediums of today’s society. Much in the same way we
learned to type in the past, today’s youth are skilled in shooting,
editing, and visual storytelling in ways that only the masters of each
craft were decades ago,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief
operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Knowing this, we needed to step
back and design a system that delivers all the creative expression and
functionality today’s youth crave, now and in the years to come.”<br />
<b><u>The First in a New System: The EOS R </u></b><br />
The new Canon EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera features a 30.3
megapixel CMOS sensor that is powered by the Company’s latest image
processor, DIGIC 8, enabling shooting at up to 8.0 frames per second<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn3" name="_ednref3">[iii]</a>.
The new camera inherits a lot from Canon’s legacy in both EOS and
Cinema EOS. Video storytellers can capture stunning 4K UHD video up to
30fps and record in 10-bit 4:2:2 (with an external recorder). The EOS R
also comes with the ability to shoot Canon Log, providing 12 stops of
dynamic range, minimal loss of detail in shadows and highlighted areas
and an increased range of choices when color grading. Users with an
existing collection of Canon lenses will be excited to know that all EF
and EF-S lens are compatible with the camera. In order to do so,
photographers and videographers can choose between using one of three
new mount adapters, each uniquely designed to meet the individual needs
of the user.<br />
The new Canon EOS R camera features Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus with 5,655 manually selectable AF points<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn4" name="_ednref4">[iv]</a>,
supporting AF at up to f/11 with a 384 zone (24x16) real-time metering
system. With f/1.2 lenses, the camera astonishingly boasts AF
sensitivity in low light in as little as EV-6. When using the RF
24-105mm F4 L IS USM lens with the EOS R, the camera can focus in as
little as 0.05 seconds with Dual Pixel CMOS AF<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn5" name="_ednref5">[v]</a>, making it the fastest autofocus speed in the world<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn6" name="_ednref6">[vi]</a>.
These features provide photographers and videographers with Canon’s
most advanced AF system to date. The EOS R also features a silent
shutter setting when shooting in single-shot mode; an important feature
for those who need to capture imagery without disrupting the scene. An
upcoming free firmware update will enable silent shutter in continuous
shooting mode as well.<br />
“The EOS R system is not just a new camera or a new lens mount, it is
a new design that will allow us to produce visual tools that were
previously impossible, and allow our customers to tell their stories
with greater depth, richness of color, and creative flexibility, in
optically stunning ways.” states Kazuto Ogawa<br />
<b><u>Thoughts From the First Users</u></b><br />
“I think every camera system has its place and it’s all about having
the right tool for the job,” reported acclaimed outdoor photographer and
Canon Explorer of Light Jimmy Chin. “The new EOS R system for me in
particular is very useful for the kind of shooting that I do in the
mountains, where I need to worry about the size and weight. Having the
option to use the new RF lenses or the EF lenses is really great.”<br />
“I was instantly impressed with how quickly the EOS R was able to
focus,” remarked celebrated fashion photographer and Canon Explorer of
Light Lindsay Adler. “Whether my subject was moving or I was shooting in
near-complete darkness, I had no problem getting tack-sharp focus in
every shot. It was a relief to know my gear wasn’t going to hold me back
from executing my vision, but instead it would really help me to
execute this vision.”<br />
“For us, it's all about getting the shot no one else can get, and a
lot of this has to do with the camera,” says Devin Graham, director and
filmmaker behind YouTube’s DevinSuperTramp. “The new EOS R will become
one of our main cameras. It has a very small footprint, yet is able to
create amazing images. As for the lenses, the new RF 28-70mm F2 has just
become one of my all-time favorites. I’ll be bringing it on every
project.”<br />
Conveniently placed just to the right of the EVF, Canon has
introduced a new Multi-Function Bar that will allows users to more
easily access their customizable settings, such as AF, ISO and White
Balance. Users will have the option to either slide or tap the bar to
gain access to the settings and adjust on-the-go as they deem necessary
depending on each particular shooting situation.<br />
Answering the demand for enhanced mobile editing of RAW image files,
Canon is also announcing a new application, Digital Photo Professional
Express (DPP Express). In combination with an updated Canon Camera
Connect App, DPP Express enables users to send, view, edit and process
CR3 RAW files on their iPad<a href="https://www.dpreview.com/news/4985835462/canon-full-frame-mirrorless-system-begins-with-debut-of-eos-r#_edn7" name="_ednref7">[vii]</a>. A free download of the app will be available October 2018.<br />

When shooting tall vertical objects, converging vertical lines can be a problem, as you can see in the top image, the vertical lines converge towards the upper center of the image. I used Lightroom's Transform module to correct this image. When using the Transform module you have to be careful not to over correct, if you do a lot of correction, resolution will be lost. I tend to not use auto correct. For this I used vertical and a small amount of horizontal. I lost some resolution and sharpness, however, the sharpness was brought back with Photo shop, using a mask on just the man made objects and applying a smart sharpen filter.<br />
<br />
Its a pretty amazing tool and I will use it for all converging vertical and horizontal lines. This is also an argument for higher resolution sensors, with more resolution, you are able to do more correction, assuming you left enough space around the image that may be removed by correction.</div>

Larger improved grip, with larger and hopefully stiffer buttons and dials along with the top LCD, should make for more intuitive use.</div>

Not much of an upgrade from the X-T2, but the Flagship going forward, I am quite surprised the sensor is not new. I guess we will see that in the X-T3.</div>

My monochrome interpretation of Valencia's, City of Arts and Sciences. First off I have to say this is one of the funnest places I've had the privilege of photographing. So many images could be made here, one could spend years returning here and see something new every time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
My first instinct was to shoot it in black and white, I love how these images turned out and the Fuji XT-2, did a superb job of rendering my vision. I used both the <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1021608-REG/fujifilm_16412188_xf_10_24mm_f_4_r.html/BI/5222/KBID/5976" target="_blank">XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"></a><a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1110879-REG/fujifilm_xf_16_55mm_f_2_8_r.html/BI/5222/KBID/5976" target="_blank">XF 16-55 f/2.8 R LM WR</a>, lenses.</div>

Vivid blue sky and bright white buildings create a perfect setting for black and white images. Processed in lightroom from RAW, I love the simplicity of images like this, Fuji files allow for pushing the blue almost to black in Post, giving me a super high contrast. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I tried Acros presets but my standard process in Lightroom worked better here, very little ghosting at edges and deep contrast helped keep a nice clean image.</div>

Cordoba was a wonderful city to walk around for a couple days, enjoying the beautiful off season weather and the lower tourist count the shoulder season brings. I highly recommend visiting in October. We where lucky, I'm sure, from the weather standpoint, low eighty's and partly cloudy sky's.<br />

Next up Seville, check back soon.</div>

I shoot Nikon, Canon and Fuji and I prefer Canon and Fuji glass, that's why I'm vested in those systems. Nikon is not far behind and Sony has a ways to go. Its about the system.<br />

Key specs<br />
<ul>
<li>46mp BSI sensor, no LP filter</li>
<li>7FPS, 9 FPS with grip</li>
<li>Full-frame 4K 24/25/30p</li>
<li>8K time laps</li>
<li><span itemprop="articleBody">ISO 64-25,600, expandable to 32-108,400</span> </li>
<li>MSRP $3300</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>High-Speed Capture:</b> The D850 is capable of shooting
up to 7 fps at full resolution, with full AF/AE or 9 fps at full
resolution with the addition of an optional battery grip (MB-D18) and
EN-EL18a/b battery (Buffer approximately 51 frames of 14-bit lossless
RAW capture / 170 frames of 12-bit lossless).</li>
<li><b>Wide ISO Range:</b> The D850 offers a wide ISO range from 64-25,600 (Expandable down to ISO 32, up to 102,400).</li>
<li><b>Flagship Focus System:</b> The D850 uses the Nikon D5’s
153-point, Multi-Cam 20K AF system, which features 99 cross type
sensors, 15 of which are sensitive to f/8.</li>
<li><b>EXPEED 5:</b> Behind every great sensor is a great
image-processing engine. EXPEED 5 is Nikon’s most powerful engine yet,
allowing for fast data readout and swift image processing, improved low
light performance, high speed shooting, full-frame 4K UHD video capture
and greater power efficiency for longer battery life.</li>
</ul>
I have been considering medium format of late, especially the Fuji GFX, but I think this is now a better option, I am looking forward to getting my hands on this and trying it out.<br />
<br />
The addition of a focus toggle is especially nice, I don't understand why it took Nikon so long to implement this, my Canon cameras have had it for years. I am also hoping for a better live view implementation.<br />
<br />
This kind of sounds like the ultimate camera, lets see how it performs in the real world. <br />

The Views from an airplane can be quite spectacular, if you have a fairly clear window, photography from 30,000 ft can be a lot of fun and good images can be acquired, if the right technique is used.</div>

Use fast shutter speeds and get your lens right up against the glass. Think about that composition and horizon before pulling the trigger.</div>

Finding an old image in the archives that was overlooked is always nice, I frequently review my archive to see whats available and I often find an image I like. This is a good reason to not delete every image you don't like when you download to your external drive.<br />
<br />
I often read of people saying to delete images you don't like. Disk space is cheap, you can get 3 or 4 terabytes of disk space for $100 these days, so better to just hang on to those images and review them later.<br />
<br />
The above image I took in Nov of 2015, but I somehow missed this image in black and white, today I really like it. So hang on to those old images, you never know what gems you might have hidden in the archive.<br />

The long awaited 6D replacement arrives with many improvements, including the vari-angle touch screen display and all new 26mp sensor. Looks to be a very nice upgrade from the original, if it had an AF joy stick I would highly recommend it, if you can live with out that and 4K video, run out and get it, if your getting the kit, be sure to get the kit with the EF 24-105 f4 II. <br />

<li>24.2 mp Exmor stacked sensor</li>
<li>20 FPS continuous shooting</li>
<li>4K 30p Video</li>
<li>ISO 100 - 51200</li>

<li>Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder with approximately 3,686k dots</li>
<li>693 focal plane phase detection AF points</li>
<li>AF joy stick (so it wont take all day to find those points) </li>
<li>5-axis image stabilization</li>
<li>$4500 </li>

Wow, is all I can say to those specs and the first look at this amazing piece of camera tech. This will hurt Nikon even more, now that Sony has already overtaken them in sales. Look for the Canikon to play catch up to Sony.<br />
<br />
It looks like Sony has got a real winner here, this is a dream spec of a camera, The lenses are coming, they still have a ways to go in the Pro telephoto end, but they are gaining ground quick. This is meant for pro's that shoot sporting events. Birders will probably drool, but its not for my type of shooting.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Using the <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1263381-REG/fujifilm_x_t2_mirrorless_digital_camera.html/BI/5222/KBID/5976">Fuji X-T2</a> as a travel camera has been a great choice for me, I usually pack it along with three lenses in to my small <a href="https://www.rei.com/product/865973/granite-gear-taku-24-pack">Granite Gear, Taku 24 pack</a>, two lenses in Lowepro soft lens cases and one mounted on the X-T2. It is a nice light weight kit, that I can take to the beach with extra gear or hiking and it will not overwhelm me with gear, I also pack a light weight tripod and a few Lee filters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My 5D Mk IV is still my main camera for professional style shooting, but I am done packing it around on vacation, just to much weight. The Fuji does not supply the full frame image quality of my 5D, but it sure gets close. At the end of the day, like my recent Maui trip, I sure do appreciate the light kit and the <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1003764-REG/fujifilm_16405575_xf_23mm_f_1_4_r.html/BI/5222/KBID/5076">XF 23mm f1.4</a> lens pretty much stays mounted for most of the time.<br />
<br />
The other part of the equation in travel photography is packing your gear in to places to eat or drink. Having a small pack like this allows me to not leave any gear in the car and not look like a Sherpa when walking in to a place to eat after a day at the beach or on the trail. I can comfortably keep an eye on a small pack and people are less likely to trip over my bag. </div>

Ahhhh, Fuji out of camera jpgs, the one thing all camera manufacturers try to get right and for the most part fail. Fuji is nailing this part of the equation. Some slight adjustments where made to adjust shadow and highlight, to the jpg only. For some reason my camera settings had changed and I was not shooting RAW, this is where Fuji fails, the menus are not to bad, but some times things are not as they should be.</div>

Sometimes its just hard to decide with an image, was this meant to be black and white or color? The color image was adjusted manually in Lightroom and the black and white was adjusted manually in Lightroom, with ACROS+G on top of it. I like both renditions, Fuji colors are great, however, I think I still prefer the black and white though.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Its nice that it does both well, dynamic range plays a big roll in this, but I believe the Fuji X-Trans array helps with the rendition and how fine detail is rendered, some people don't like it. I think it adds a uniqueness that can't quit be had with other sensors. It does have its drawbacks, one appears to be <a href="http://www.imagesensors.org/Past%20Workshops/2007%20Workshop/2007%20Papers/042%20Getman%20et%20al.pdf">GrGb mismatch</a>, that causes some unusual noise. Fuji's software overcomes this noise issue, but with Lightroom it requires a little finesse, do not over sharpen! and use caution with noise reduction. For the most part it will not affect your images if you know what your looking for.</div>

This camera begs to be shot black and white, just put it in the ACROS film simulation mode and look through the view finder. Yes its not as simple as that, but it helps to look through a view finder and see the world in black and white. It also helps to see those image previews that way too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When in ACROS mode though, you see that high contrast black and white image before taking the shot, to me it simplifies the seeing in black and white, which is not always as easy as it sounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I tend to shoot a lot more black and white with my X-T2 than I do with my 5D Mk IV, a lot has to do with the ability to see the image in the view finder. The way Fuji images are rendered in black and white is another attraction to shooting that way.<br />

Today Fuji officially launch the GFX 50 S medium format mirrorless.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
My dream camera? Perhaps, this one I will rent with the <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1283432-REG/fujifilm_gf_32_64mm_f_4_r.html%20/BI/5222/KBID/5976">GF 32-64mm f/4 R LM WR</a> lens as soon as it is available. This is what I consider a landscape photographers dream camera. With all the technology from Fuji's X-cameras going in to a larger sensor like this, I can only imagine how nice the images will be on a large monitor or large format printer.</div>
