Fuji X-Pro Firmware 2.0: Quick Test

The upgrade process was smooth. No nasty surprises.
 I updated the body first, and then the lens: 35mm 1.4.

The overall performance is not worse, maybe better. However, I did not have the impression that the AF speed is stellar fast. I think it did not improve much. I can easily make a situation, in which I press the shutter, and the camera takes picture after a long time, possibly seconds.

However, I was able to almost focus on my fish without that much difficulty I recollect from Epson Aqua Stadium. So there could be an improvement. Still, the photos do not look as sharp as those from D700.

Both photos were taken with the lens wide open.

Glyptopterichtys gibbiceps. Click for enlarging.

Uaru amphiacantoides en face. The photo looks pretty soft, even if taken at 1.4.

Hint: Fuji X100 charger with lost widget adapter

One of the peculiarities of Fuji X100 camera is the charger, which require a plastic widget adapter for the batteries to be blocked in the charger and charged. It is a part, which is easily lost.

What to do, when it is lost? The best is to use something that you already have with you. I always have one or more USB cables for external disks or cameras. I use a USB standard plug to block the battery in place. It works perfectly.
