The CK in the App title means that it it can be used as a Photoshop Plugin as well. This is a package comprising of Tonality CK, Intensify CK, FXStudio CK, Snapheal CK, Focus CK and Noiseless CK.

So, I just use either Lr or Apple Photos.I f I open the Fuji RAW files in MacPhun CK suite, it uses the Digital Camera RAW engine.Ĭontinuing with my experimentation with non-Adobe workflows.Īs I had already bought MacPhun Tonality from the App Store while it was on offer, I qualified for a deal on the complete MacPhun Creative Kit (CK). I tried pixel-peeping to see which one was the best, I tried all the settings for the Apps suggested on various websites and in all honestly could not see any differences that I could reliably pick out, not on my Apple Thunderbolt monitor anyway. I've tried Rawtherapee, Lr and Adobe Camera Raw (obviously), SilkyPix (supplied with the X-Pro1) and Apple Digital Camera RAW (part of OS X). If you frequent any of the Fuji X forums there is a great deal of debate on which RAW developer App handles the X-Trans RAW files the best.

I shot wide open with the ISO set to auto. I used the Fuji X-Pro1 with the Fujinon XF 35m f1.4 lens. Whilst Topsy was getting ready for the shoot, I took the opportunity to take some preparation shots of the makeup look being applied.

It is of course possible with digital photography to use studio flash without a flash Meter by using trial and error, however its is much easier if you do have a flash meter, I bought a Sekonic 元08s from Wex photographic for £119.00, it was sold as an Open Box but arrived in brand new condition. The strobe head uses Bowens fit for attachments, which is nice and secure, not all the cheap strobe heads out there are like this.

The flash can be triggered by PC cable and optical sensor. There are two levels of modelling light and at each level the output varies with the flash power setting. The Strobe is double insulated and is CE marked.įlash power is from 1/1 (full) down to 1/16, adjusted with a detented rotary control.

The case is made of plastic, which is nice as the mains cable is off the unearthed figure of eight type. Quality was better than I expected, with no sharp edges. There was also a 16 channel RF flash trigger with Hot shoe transmitter, PC cables, mains leads and 3 spare fuses. I recently pressed the button on Amazon and bought a Neewer Eagle EG-250B Strobe kit.įor my £174.00 I received a rather nice carry case, with Neewer embroidered on the side, which contained, 3 x 250W strobe heads, 3 x stands, 2 x soft boxes, 1 x reflector, a circular grid diffuser which fits the reflector, barn doors and 3 x colour filters which slot into the barn doors and a white shoot-through umbrella. The x-Series cameras and lenses are pretty much hand built as can be seen in this video: The Fujinon XF 35mm f1.4, that the X-Pro is wearing in this photo, is extremely sharp, has no distortion and superb colour and contrast. I've used the 'blad lenses quite a bit and know how good they are.

The Fujinon XF lenses are superb, no question about it, but then, Fuji have been making lenses since 1938 and make some of the best TV and Motion Picture lenses as well as the Hasselblad lenses for the H system. I find the EVF quite useful, I like t shoot RAW +jpg, on all my cameras, with the Fuji I set the jpg to B+W (red filter) and then see a BW image in the EVF which is helpful for composing the shot as you get to see what it looks like in BW, then develop to taste from RAW later. It is unique but there is the ability to switch to EVF mode if you desire. It is not a rangefinder like the Leica M or just a Viewfinder like a Canon Powershot G series. The Optical/Electronic Viewfinder (OEVF) will not be to everyone's liking. I like this camera a great deal, true, its not that fast in general operation or AF, but I do find the AF accurate. Used my Fuji X-Pro1 as a subject, the shape of the camera makes it a good subject for HDR. Canon 5D2, Canon USM 100mm f2.8, Neewer EG-250 Strobes
