Fujifilm X-E1 and the XF 18-55 f/2.8-4.0 Kit Lens

Fujifilm X-E1 and the XF 18-55 f/2.8-4.0 Kit Lens

The last conversion you are going to have to look at. I hope these images have shown at least some people just what this system is capable of, and I hope it has been of some interest to the rest.
Again very detailed and what I like about this image is the overcast sky. I couldn't tel the difference when I was taking this but in the conversion you can see the different cloud strength by the different tones. All this done without the banding problem I was experiencing with the old 12 megapixel m4/3rd sensor. The OM-D is much better in this respect, but then again, they used a different manufacturer this time around. A very good decision if you ask me.

This a different format to the previous image with a slightly different angle of view.
I don't like flat monochrome images, hence the reason for the high contrast in these images. They are more pleasing to my eye.

This is possibly one of my top three conversions of all time. Just look at the water, the different tones that can be found in there. The skyline is sharp and very detailed and lastly I love how the streking clouds just compliments the rest of the image.

This, to me, is getting close to a perfect conversion (for my taste). It has something of a 3D look to it. The low contrast sky lets the building pop out of the image. It may be difficult to see at this small size, but I'm sure you get the gist of what I'm trying to convey.

The more I play with the B&W conversion, the better it gets. I think you will always have to find the best conversion workflow for your taste, for each camera you have. When using a new sensor this alsways takes some trial and error but then everything comes together and bingo. After that, conversions won't take you long at all to finish. My problem, still, is actually seeing in B&W. This isn't an easy thing to accomplish and really does take a lot of practice, sometimes years.

Even if seem to repeating myself in these posts, I can't remember the last time a camera exited me son much. It is fun to use and the image quality is to die for. The conversions are quick to do without any problems such as banding the sky. I just love these conversions, and is a prelude to much more images being converted.

This second image has been processed with slightly softer tones than the first.
can you tell the difference, I certainly can and it just shows how versatile SFX II is.
Well worth the money.
