If you decide to do it yourself, keep this in mind. You are cleaning the glass filter in front of the sensor, not the sensor itself. It is really quite easy, but you should read up on the ...

You could just always clone them out. I clean my sensors when I start noticing them, but I have one that is under the glass (even after Fuji service), so always needs cloning out. If you do want to ...

Take a look at them here with the dehaze cranked up. You need to clean the sensor. It gets dust on it. Hopefully they are not under the glass, which requires service to clean. I guess if you aren't ...

Here is a version started with Iridient and then exported to Lightroom as a tif. I only let Iridient demosaic and left everything default except for choosing the camera vivid profile. This might ...

I went with this approach Vic. I ordered a B+W 093 and a Hoya R72, both in 62mm for the 23. I also bought step-up rings for the 14mm and the 35mm. I knew I'd still want a lens hood with the 14mm, ...

Happy to post an update in a while. My local shop only had aluminum, but I'm pretty sure I want the carbon, so ordered. Rich

Thanks Jerry, I'm beginning to think I have a problem with OIS on my lens. It seems to work well on the continuous setting, but not on the "when shooting" setting that I use as a default. I need ...

That makes sense. From what I understand, there is no actual lens calibration for mirrorless IR. He probably is just checking to make sure the new filter is in place properly and dust-free. Rich

I was putting together an order for B&H today and decided to go for the carbon Road Trip. Thanks all for the feedback. I'm finding I really need a tripod when I add the teleconverter to the ...

Looks like neither of those lenses are good for infrared. Perhaps he can test the 27 at f/2.8. http://fujixsystem.blogspot.com/p/fuji-infrared-lens-tests.html Rich

Thanks to the others who have chimed in here too. I definitely realize that carbon will vibrate less. That is a consideration. I've also read that the ball head is not that great, but for my needs, ...

Excellent. Thanks so much. I'm also wanting to move to Arca-Swiss, since all the Fuji grips use it. I haven't decided whether it is worth the extra cash to get .4 lbs lighter on the carbon though. Rich

I'm looking at getting a lighter tripod for outdoors. I currently have a big old Manfrotto tripod and ball head and it weighs about 7.5 lbs. I'm liking the reviews of the MeFOTO Roadtrip so far. ...

I'll post results to confirm when I get the camera back, but it will be about two weeks. I've looked at your gallery as part of my evaluation in doing this. Great stuff! I've had my XE1 sitting ...

This is my understanding as well and I confirmed it with Life Pixel. In fact, they have my XE1 right now and I am getting the 590nm conversion so that I do color as well as B&W. I actually plan to ...

Here is a link to them on SmugMug. They are probably a bit better there, but as I noted in another reply, conditions were less than ideal, so it may have more to do with that. http://photos.herodot ...

Yes, this is an issue with these photos. I should have noted that conditions were less than ideal. It was harsh mid-day Colorado sun, so the photos all had rather dark shadows with no detail. I ...

I haven't had a good chance to go out and shoot actual wildlife with this lens, but I live by the Denver Zoo, so my wife and I extended our walk though the zoo today and I happened to be carrying ...

Nice shots!

I know you were asking 57even, but here are a few night shots from Golden Gai in Tokyo, all shot at f/1.4 and ISO 3200. Really a great lens. Hope you get the issue sorted out. Rich
