Fujifilm X-T1, Neewer 25/1.8
Over the years I've heard a lot of love for Fuji's Film Simulations and particularly the Classic Chrome simulation. I never really played with them much as I shoot RAW almost exclusively and frankly tend to just leave the camera in the normal or Vivid/Landscape/Velvia modes.
Since I've re-acquired the X-T1, I've been shooting both RAW+JPEG so I have JPEG's to feed to Instagram, and using the Classic Chrome emulation to get a real feel for it. So far I'm rather liking the more muted tones it delivers.
As it turns out, my X-T1 has an issue, the control dials are very skippy. This isn't an issue for most shooting, but since I use those dials to set aperture on the XC35, it does make that lens occasionally frustrating to use. So back in early March I dropped by Downtown Camera and Stan hooked me up with a second Fuji body for next to nothing and now I have an X-E2 to go with the X-T1. For now I'm shooting the XC35 on the X-E2, and anything manual focus on the X-T1. I also grabbed a Neewer 25/1.8 manual focus X mount lens, which is working really nicely on the X-T1. And yes, using Classic Chrome a lot on the X-E2 as well.
