Jmac-
Or any of you ?
Which film simulation do you usually use ? Or maybe you shoot raw.

I only shoot jpeg , so far , and as with lenses I’m always switching things up , settings, trying new combinations.
As to black and white , I think those x-m1 images are about as good as any.

What does LeRolls , shoot ? Probably raw .

Ok , thanks.

I most commonly use the standard one but have it tweaked to my liking. I don't have it on me now so can't check but I think I have the colour and contrast toned down a little from the norm. For B&W I usually use the Acros setting, which was one of the things that made me get the X-T20 rather than the much cheaper X-T10, but it's barely any different than the standard B&W and I wouldn't say it's better.

Here are a couple of night pics with the 23/2. The second one is not sharp as it was done just holding the shutter button down while in Bulb mode and the camera held on a not-very-stable tabletop.

No clue on the motorcycle one of the models just brought it and we shot it.

Yes I basically just shoot raw.

You do good things with that 90mm / x-t3 , LeRolls, Is the viewfinder any better than the one in the X-t1? though maybe you hadn’t had the x-t1 to compare , though .

Not sure if this appropriate, but since I use old manual lenses, many times the focus rings on some tend to be a little smooth , maybe slippery , or a little stiff or quirky - finally found some bands that help , called
ranger bands ; this particular brand , the large size , works really well for most of my fifties,, Its kinda funky and not ‘pure’ authentic like I like to do, but these lenses are old ..... they need a little extra help ......

Whatever.

Thanks. I've been shooting a tiny bit more with the 56mm lately but the 90 is still my go to. The EVF on the X-T3 is superb.

You have any recent shots with the 56 ?
Is it a little softer ?
