Quote from: flash on May 20, 2024, 08:52:54 AMWhy would you want a hard case for carry on, if I may ask? I don't think you'd get that on ANY domestic flight in Oz as they're strict about the 7kg limit here. The bag would weigh more than the gear.

I'll occasionally use a hard case in the car where I can chain it to the structure. But for air travel I'd have an ultra light wheelie bag (which you can also put foam in). Personally, on a plane, I'd put all your gear in a Small Wandred backpack and have room left over.

Hi Gordon,

Thanks. I mentioned it being carry-on because that is one reason I would use it for. Another, using pacsafe mesh, would be to chain it to a fastened structure when travelling.

Alas - I have not been to Oz, but my experience with carry-on is more about exceeding size restrictions not weight (although I often wonder whether this is checked by authorities with the amount of stuff people seem to get away with bringing onto the aircraft).

Cheers.

Quote from: Paul2660 on May 17, 2024, 08:03:07 AMThey all use the same base 100mp sensor as there has not been a new announced for years. Same sensor just different color filter arrays.  A lot has been written on Jim Kassons site as to what Fuji really did with the sensor in the GFX100II. Boils down to not that much difference between it and other versions with the same sensor. Much was also written when the GFX100II was released that Fuji had had a completely new 100mp sensor made by Sony. Nothing has ever shown that to be the case and Sony has not mentioned a newer sensor in any of their sensor announcements.

Same with Hasselblad as their color filter array gives a base ISO of 64 inline Fuji's 80.

Sensor itself is excellent but it's been more than likely pushed to its max.

Is there a specific article Jim has written that you can link to? He's written so many exhaustive posts over the years that it may be a big hard to know where to begin


Here is a link to an article written by Jim that discusses the ISO 80 level on the GFX100II.

X1D/X2D Cameras / New to the X1D mk1.
Last post by X1dman - May 20, 2024, 10:10:42 AM
My first outing.

45P lens.  Handheld around F8, 250s.  Edited in LR5, with mono conversion tint.

So enjoyable to use and image pp create.

I should add, the images are posted here in low res.

My first outing, the X1D mk1. 45P.

Conversion to slight mono tone was so easy.

The link is to mobile 2.....the opening of 1 is nothing like that (which is not surprising)

The problem with all things I.T. Is that things are usually straightforward, but seldom any instructions for anyone new.

The video is so quick from sequence to sequence, there isn't time to take in....turning the loud music off helps.... (Why do any content providers think music helps?)

With a thumbnail of images downloaded to PM1, there is few controls or menus to take things to the editing stage.
This is why I think something is amiss.

I will try to post a screenshot of what appears....problem is the world has moved on from 2016.
