thank you

I like it - the sensor is the same as the X-T2; at 24mp, it is quite enough for me, as far as resolution goes.....

I liken this sensor to a cross between the 16 and the 24mp in the K-5 and the K-3:

- all the power/resolution you want from the 24mp

- all the malleability the 16mp sensor gives you.....

and I honestly believe that Fuji has the best jpeg engine in the game.... they are gorgeous and a huge amount of latitude in them....

Yes we have them, but they do not always cooperate by flying in when I need them.

Lovely expired film feel on these, Aaron

DX Coded - I do own a camera that reads these - a Yashica oddly enough... the Dental Eye III = if one uses uncoded film, the camera sets itself at ISO 100.
