Yes. As far as I know, Cambo has a Sony E mount version of the Actus Mini. You can find it here: bhpho.to/4jNfPHr

@DanBaileyPhoto many thanks 😊 how about lens can I use the same sony lenses too?

Thanks for your comment! That's awesome, I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying this lens so much! It definitely lends itself to dramatic imagery. What kinds of subjects do you like to shoot with it?

Hey Thomas, thanks for your comment. It's definitely a great lens, so I'm glad you're enjoying it. What kinds of subjects do you generally shoot?

Yea!!!! I actually didn't know that until I read your comment, so thanks for letting me know! What do you plan to shoot with it?

@ Landscape, I wasn’t able to get the film since it sold out very quickly on the site I was getting it from. But it’ll be back next month!

Yea, I'm sure it's in high demand!!

Hey Christopher, thanks for your comment. I have not played around with that kind of comparison, at least not in awhile. I haven't really used LR for a few years. I was always been happy with my LR exports in terms of quality but X RAW STUDIO does a much better job rendering the different Fuji film looks. It would be nice if you could export a new RAW file from X RAW STUDIO, but even if you could, LR would still revert the image to it's own color profile and you'd have to use their versions of the Film Simulations, so that wouldn't really be any benefit. Basically, you have to decide whether you want the flexibility of more sliders and adjustments in LR, or the exact Fuji adjustments in X RAW STUDIO. Either way, if you come up with something you like in either program, I think that both will end up exporting a great quality image. What are your findings?

@ Hi Dan, many thanks for your reply. My work flow is memory card to computer drive, then load into LR. Process the RAWs then export 1600 x 1200 jpegs for club competitions. This works very well for me, but keep reading that Fuji X Studio and Capture 1 do a better Job with our Fuji files, which nags in the back of my mind. I will practice with Fuji X and make some comparisons. Just on another subject, I hope you get your hands on the new 500mm prime soon for a review, looking forward to that. I’m still enjoying my 100-400mm but expect this to give better IQ. Best wishes, Chris.

Yes, in my experience, X RAW STUDIO and Capture One do a better job decoding and more accurately replicating the secret recipes of the Fuji Film Simulations. X RAW will obviously get them perfect, since they're the ones who own the recipes, which are held secret. The don't give out those to anyone. C1 seems to do a little better job than LR, but here's the thing: It's all kind of subjective. May RAW shooters don't make use of the film sims, because they prefer to do their own processing and color adjustments. Some people like to apply one of the Fuji film sims inside the software before making further adjustments, and that's where you'll see a slight difference. X RAW is limited, because you only have the same adjustment as what's inside the camera: film sims, H/S Tone, Clarity, WB, etc..., where LR and C1 give you many more options (sliders) to adjust your images. It boils down to what you want for your images. If you're happy with your final LR jpegs, than really no need to switch, although you might compare with C1, just to see how well you like the interface and color color options... but of course, that could open up another rabbit hole, because I'm guessing you already have a big LR catalog. Switching that all over could be problematic. Adding yet another software to your workflow is always adding more complications. If you're pretty happy with how your photos look straight out of the camera, and only do minor adjustments and don't do anything like local adj, layers, or if you want to experiment with different film sims and a few settings, then X RAW STUDIO is a very simple and straightforward solution. Hope that helps.

@ Many thanks for your detailed reply Dan. I will keep shooting and processing and try not to overthink the technical stuff.

You're welcome. 👍 Remember, the most important thing is to have fun!! Getting bogged down in too much technical rumination can start to eat away at that. Also, I haven't seen the new 500mm lens in person yet, but it looks pretty awesome!! What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

That's great to hear it! I'm glad you found this video so helpful. What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

@ I just got a Fujifilm X-T5 after watching video clips like yours. I’m learning photography from KZbin and am most interested in portraiture. I love other genres too, but first things first.

Cool! The X-T5 is such a great camera. Let me know if you ever have any questions about it, or about the Fuji system in general. What lens(es) did you get with it?

@ I will, thank you for your kindness. I have Fuji Xf 23mm f1.4 and Xf 56mm f1.2. Xf 33mm f1.4 and Xf 16mm f1.4 are on my wish list.

Welcome to the channel, Leigh! Glad you're enjoying mu videos. What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

@ Thank you. I use the XT-5 the most for landscapes, waterfalls and wildlife. I started with the XT-20, which got broken, then the XT-3, which I still shoot with as well.

Cool! What are your favorite X Series lenses?

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful! Have you tried making music videos before?

Thank you for the kind words, and happy new year to you as well!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about these two excellent lenses. I mirror your analysis, both are extremely useful in a variety of situations. The 100-400 is indeed a beast of a lens and an excellent performer in critical situations, but you can't beat the portability, and performance of the 70-300 when you want to go with a lightweight kit. Despite the redundancy in focal length, they make for excellent companions in your overall lens arsenal.

Thanks for your comment. I don't really have time to read 520 pages about a pandemic that's now behind us, but even if that weren't the case, I'm wondering what it has to do with a silly rock and roll song?

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🎅🌲

Shannon, check and see if the AUTO switch is enabled. Other causes might be that the camera is set to another shooting mode, like MOVIE or ADV. Press the Drive button and make sure the camera is set to either Single frame, or CL/CH. Let me know if any of those solutions work.

Which AF-C parameter are you referring to? There are two that use numbers:Tracking Sensitivity, Speed Tracking Sensitivity. Tracking Sensitivity is how fast the camera will look for a different subject if it temporarily disappears from the AF sensor. 0 tells it to switch immediately. 1-4 make it progressively longer, so less jumpy. Setting 2 is less jumpy than 4, but more jumpy than 0. If you're talking about Speed Tracking Sensitivity, keeping it at 2 will optimize the camera for tracking erratically moving subjects. That could cause the AF to jump around, because it's anticipating a subject that's moving quickly and in different directions. In other words, more "jumpy." Hope that helps. What kinds of subjects are you shooting?

Hi Kelly, I just tried this out with my X-T5, and yes, what you're asking works, in a way. If you put the camera on C1 (or any other C mode), and press the REC button while the camera is set to STILL mode, it will shoot video with all your C1 settings. However, what you're noticing, is that the camera seems to choose a shutter speed automatically, based on your ISO, frame rate (such as 23.98p, or 59.97p etc...) and your aperture, even if the camera is set to manual mode. I guess it does this, so that no matter how the exposure settings are configured, when you press the movie REC button, the camera will automatically ensure that you will get well exposed footage. Does this make sense?

Awesome!! What kinds of subjects do you like to shoot with it?

@ Man I shoot everything street, nature and love it’s portrait’s and mp’s never seem to be an issue.

The reality is that unless you're printing large format reproductions, high MP should never really be an issue. Sure, it looks great when you zoom in and pixel peep, and it's fun to have a new camera with super high res, but that''s not what makes a great photograph. What lenses are you using with your X-T1?

​@@DanBaileyPhoto lately I been using a Viltrox 33mm I got free that's pretty good and of course the 16-55 2.8 I'm a fan of the Fuji lenses also

I haven't tried any of the Viltrox lenses. How are you liking the 33mm?

Thanks for your comment! Glad it was helpful! Yes, there is so much creativity to be had right inside the camera by using the film simulations. Are you currently a Fujifilm shooter?

Thanks for your comment, and good tip. 👍 When I was testing this lens, I wasn't using a tripod, so that didn't occur to me at the time. How are you liking the performance of the 150-600 so far?

@@DanBaileyPhoto I quite like it! I've also used it with the 1.4 teleconverter. But it is truly difficult to fill the frame and track a fast flying bird at 900mm equiv, let alone 1240 mm equiv! Using this lens at full zoom with BIF pushes the XT5 autofocus to the limits of its ability.

I agree!! It's very hard indeed to try and track a very fast and erratically moving subject with a long lens. The higher the magnification ratio, the more difficult this becomes, but the extra mm makes it even more powerful if you manage to nail the shot! Of course, all that takes practice.

@@DanBaileyPhoto My practice is unending ^_^

Mine too! Same for all of us!! 😀

I have that tiny little original 18mm f/2 as well, but this 14 really shines with its extra width and excellent image quality. Which camera(s) would you use it with?

@@DanBaileyPhoto For street photography I use my trusted X-A1 because it's so small. I think I'm going to rent the 14mm at some to see if it fits my needs.

There's also the brand new 8mm f/3.5 lens. That's another ultra wide lens with very little distortion. It might be worth checking out: bhpho.to/43hfrIJ

Awesome! The 100-400 is a real winner. I hope you have a ton of fun with it!! What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

@@DanBaileyPhoto For what I've read and seen on the Tube, it must be. I bought it because we're going to Tanzania to "shoot" wildlife and other nature thingies. I will be slaping this behemoth to my X-T3.

Sounds like a good combo!! I've shot tons of action with my X-T3 and 100-400. I'm sure you'll get some amazing photos with that setup on your trip!

I have not seen that at all. I've shot many photos with the 35 f/2 that are sharp and have very vivid depth. What kinds of subjects are you shooting?

That's awesome! The 14 is definitely a fun and versatile lens. Which X Series camera are you using and what kinds of subjects do you like to photograph?

Thanks for that information. However, my question is, why would anyone search Google for “gay fauci music video?”

Thank so much for your comment and your feedback! Yes, I know... I do talk a little fast sometimes. 😂 Anyway, glad you're enjoying the channel! Are you currently a Fujifilm user?

Thanks for your comment. Glad you're loving the 50 f/2 so much, it's such a fun little lens!! What X Series body are you using it on?

XT3

That's a great camera. I've shot a lot of my favorite images with the X-T3. Keep having a ton of fun with it!

@ Thanks. As a stills photographer, I see no need to replace my XT3 at this time

If it ain't broke...! 😀

Thanks for your comment. I agree, the tiny little X-M5 looks like a great option for quick and smaller projects. It's so portable, and definitely powerful enough for many photo and video situations. I'm excited to try it out myself! Let me know your thoughts when you've had a chance to use with it for awhile. What kinds of subjects do you typically shoot?

Thanks for your comment. The Recall C1 Setting on the X-T5 is indeed a very powerful feature. It's so fast to instantly bring up a favorite and most used setting. What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

Awesome!! Thanks, Nick! Are you currently a Fuji shooter?

Robert, thanks for your comment. I think with any camera, practice and experience count for more than anything, but I'm glad you're finding success with your current camera. After all, they're just tools, and each one resonates and inspires a slightly different amount and type of creativity and performance.

Hey Dan, thanks for your comment. Yes, the X-M5 does look pretty awesome, and I imagine that there will be a firmware update in the near future to add some of the new functionality and AF performance, to the other 5th gen models, including the X-S20, like Movie AF Tracking. I've seen the X-S20, but I haven't used it, so I don't know how it performs compared to the X-T5 and X-T50.

Thanks for the comment, Mike! Sounds like my message came through loud and clear, because that's exactly what I was trying to say in this video! Small, compact, tiny, but full of high-end features that will give you great results when you want to leave the house with minimal gear. What's not to love?! What Fuji do you currently use, and what do you like to shoot?

Robby, that’s the thing bits all about trade offs, isn’t it. For some people, certain features are worth the upgrade in price. Hope you’re doing well. What have you been shooting lately?

David, thanks for your comment. As with many features, the screen is definitely a preference thing. Some people love the flip screen, even a few still photographers I know, while it seems that most of them prefer the tilt screen. I'm a tilt screen guy myself, which is why I much prefer the X-T5 over the 4, which I now use as a dedicated video camera. That said, if I were to get an X-M5, it would be used as a backup or an ultralight camera for things like cycling, and I would learn to live with the flip screen, simply because the camera is so small and light, and also because I do find it useful for video. There are times when I find it frustrating, though. 😆 Do you have other Fuji's besides your X-M1 and X-S20?

@@DanBaileyPhoto I live with the 'flippy' on the X-S2 as it's a great all round camera for the size and price and bought mainly for the video. I've actually just bought an old X30 instead of the X-M5, if I get on with it I'll sell the X-M1. I try and stay at two cameras! Will be nice to grab the X30 and go without the half an hour deciding which lens to use!

Oooh... an X30! Going old school! 😀 That was such an amazing series- the X10/20 were my gateway drugs into the X Series, although I never ended up getting the 30. I did get the X70 a few year later, though. Anyway, keep having fun with your Fuji gear. What have you been photographing lately?

Thanks for your count, Graham. In most situations, that's exactly what happens. On the Fuji cameras, this would be done in the Wide/Tracking AF Mode. That said, every modern camera has a host of AF settings that help you optimize how the focus system performs and "looks" for your subject, and knowing how these settings work and how/when to use them in specific situations can make you a more proficient photographer. If you are interested in my course, know that I have a 100% guarantee, so if you run through all the lessons and decide that it wasn't worth your money or time, or if you feel you didn't learn very much, then I'd gladly give you a refund. What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

Thanks for your comment! I agree, this will be a great little camera for outdoor adventures! I’m considering getting one that myself!

Thanks for your comment. I do know that the AF algorithms have been updated with the X-M5, and it even has a new improved "subject tracking" features when shooting video. What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you found this to be such a helpful tutorial. Have you made music videos before?

Thanks for your comment, John. You're right; I actually have the X70! It's definitely a fun little camera that brings full APC size quality to a tiny, compact form factor. I've enjoyed using it here and there over the years.

Thanks fro your comment! I had a great chat with Ritchie for this interview, so I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! He really does have a cool thing going with his FUJI X WEEKLY site. I do play around with different settings in my Fujis, often making adjustments to Shadow Tone or Color, or using the Monochromatic Color settings when shooting black and white, but for whatever reason, I tend not to save them to my Custom Settings, or if I do, it's usually just one or two. Maybe it's because I like to respond in a unique way to each shooting situation. Sometimes I'll go with the stock film sets and no adjustments, while other times I'll make a few changes, and then move on. We each have our own method, and that's the great thing about photography and creative pursuits like this.

Awesome!! Glad it was helpful! What Fuji do you use and what do you like to photograph?

Hi Dan, I own a Fujifil XT100VI and love experimenting with the fuji colors. Working with Xrawstudio make me understand how the recepis are made. Your presentation is so in detail and helped me understanding how to use it, like exporting a photo to jpg. Did not know how to do that, thought it was not possible. So thank you from Holland 😉

Again, you’re welcome. There’s so much creativity to be had with the film simulations, experimenting with the different settings and making your own recipes. Did you watch my interview video with Ritchie the Fuji X Weekly guy? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5zNqp-oeMukr8U

Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you found this helpful. Which X Series camera are you currently using, and are you considering one of theses two lenses?

@ I recently purchased the x-t3 with the 10-24 F4 and followed that up with the 16-80 F4. After your comparison, I think that I will ask for KEH gift cards for Christmas to purchase the 70-300 and the 35 mm F2 prime for fun. Next year I will get the 1.4 extender. Regardless, I love the system and am super happy that I switched from Canon.

KEH gift cards definitely make good stocking suffers!! So glad you're enjoying the Fuji system. Let me know if you every have any questions about the X Series cameras or features. What kinds of subjects do you like to shoot?

Thanks for your comment, Paul. I agree, but its design and features are consistent with the history of the X-T10/20/30 line. Adding those additional components, would have brought the price too close to the X-T5. At any rate, how are you liking your X-T50 so far?

@@DanBaileyPhoto Loving it, the size is perfect for travel with a small lens on it

It is indeed! I just did a three week vacation and only took the X-T50 with 3 lenses. I love my X-T5, but the slightly smaller and lighter body was nice while traveling!

That's so awesome!! Yes, shooting aerial photos while flying is a pretty special and amazing activity! I hope that I can inspire him with my photos.

Thanks for your comment!!! 😀 It was great to finally get back into the sky!!

This would be difficult since I'm shooting these videos by myself. I don't have a Dan Bailey stand-in to use for test focusing. 🤣 When I do these, I generally use Face Detection.

Thank you!! That’s the plan!! 😀

Indeed! I’ve really missed flying!!

Haha!! It was definitely windy out there today, but not too cold. I was shooting out the window with bare hands. Give it another month, and it will be a totally different story!! 🥶❄️

@DanBaileyPhoto I bet. Be careful up there. I'm going the other way. Heading for the Grand Canyon State. Stay warm brother

Will do!! Have fun in AZ! I've taken quite a few trips down there in the past couple of years. What areas will you be visiting?

@@DanBaileyPhoto AZ City, Phoenix

Cool! I've got friends who live there. Will probably visit them again this winter.

Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Where do you live in Germany? We were in Bavaria a few years ago with our bikes.
