Fuji X100 Firmware upgrade

So Fuji released a new firmware upgrade (2.00) for the X100 today (or recently anyway!).
I have the X100 about 18 months now and its a fantastic little camera, made even better with each firmware upgrade.

The firmware update Ver.2.00 form ver.1.30 incorporates the following issues:

1. Improvement of AF speed Approximately 20% faster AF speed is achieved in various conditions such as bright scenes, dark scenes and changed focus distance compared to the previous firmware version. 

2. Improvement of close-up focus performance The focus distance from the lens surface without switching to macro mode is approximately 30% shorter compared to previous firmware version. 

3. "Focus Peak Highlight" function for manual focusing is added. The function, which features on FUJIFILM X100S and X20, is added and assists accurate and sensitive manual focusing by enhancing the outline of your subject in high contrast. * With this update, "Focus Peak Highlight" function is selected as a default setting. Pressing the center of the command dial for a while enables you to switch the setting of "Focus Peak Highlight" and "STANDARD" (off of "Focus Peak Highlight"). And "MF ASSIST" is added in SHOOTING MENU where you can select "HIGH" and "LOW" in "Focus Peak Highlight" and "STANDARD". 

4. Improved manual focus operation This makes it easier to capture the peak of the focus by displaying the image with shallow depth of field, using open aperture, when adjusting the focus with the electronic view finder or the LCD. 

5. Faster start-up time The camera start-up time is shortened by approximately 0.2 second with QUICK START mode OFF. 

6. Improved operability of selecting focus area Previously, the focus area was selected while holding the AF button on the back. With the upgraded firmware, pressing the AF button will switch to the focus area selection screen and the area of your choice can then be selected. 

7. The phenomenon is fixed that a camera will automatically turn off during "Bulb (B)" shooting with the "CONTINUOUS" setting in "IMAGE DISP."

Its bucketing down outside so I've only had a quick little look at the improvements listed above, heres what I've noticed (also the more important improvements for me):

• AF much faster, and better in low light
• MF ring is now useable
• Much faster start up, for me its gone from "come on, come on, come on" to "oh its on"!

Upgrade here.

Fuji Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic

I first came across this nice little camera from Fuji a few months back when it got its release in Japan. Over the last week or two there has been lots of talk on websites and blogs about its official worldwide release, which is still looking like will be early next year. MSRP in the US will be $199, no news yet on other regions. A pack of 20 exposures (ISO 800) is set to cost $20.

The camera itself is a nice looking thing, its look fitting in with their recent X range, to use a word I hate "retro". But this is a film camera, as its name suggests, instant film, somewhere around the size of business card.

It has some nice features, a flash, a tripod mount, double exposure option, macro (30-60cm), shutter speed including bulb, and a party mode where background and ambient light doesn't get totally destroyed by the flash.

I love Fuji, have a very old Fuji SLR and the X100, they make great products. The price of the Mini I would like to see maybe 20/25% lower, but obviously not having seen one let alone use one it might well be worth the asking price. 

I'd like to have a mini instant camera in the collection, good job this comes out after Christmas!

LowePro Roller 100 AW

After a lot of researching (a number of LowePro's & Think Tank's) I decided on the LowePro Roller 100 AW, its a little bit small for me but it is regulation carry on size, even for the "budgetest" of airlines (i.e. Ryanair!) and other smaller domestic flight operators.

             

Delivery took two weeks, and I was like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting for this (currently no commuting to work means a lot more time in the day)! It finally arrived and I couldn't be more happy with it, realistically fits all the gear I need, sturdy, its a roller!! And like all LowePro bags with the AW - All Weather, it has a weather jacket than is stored in the handle pocket for when it rains. A padlock can be put on the zip, and theres some nice front pockets for quick access to travel documents, photograph release forms etc.

The wheels are sturdy but if do need replacing, only require an Allen key. It can take upto an 11" laptop, I don't have a laptop at present, but I'm hoping at a squeeze it will take a larger one, not the end of the world if it doesn't. 

Fits (as per the LowePro website):

• 1 Pro DSLR or 1-2 Pro DSLRs without grip, with attached 70-200mm f/2.8 lens
• 3-4 extra lenses
• Flash
• Spare batteries and memory cards
• Up to an 11" laptop or tablet
• Extra accessories or personal items

Technical Specifications:

• Notebook Compartment: 33.3 x 1.9 x 24.8 cm (13.11 x 0.75 x 9.76 in)
• Internal Dimensions: 33.7 x 12.7 x 40 cm (13.27 x 5.00 x 15.75 in)
• External Dimensions: 35.6 x 18.4 x 47.6 cm (14.02 x 7.24 x 18.74 in)
• Weight: 3.5 kg (7.70 lbs)

My use:
I used some extra velcro dividers I had from my other bags to divide the bag up a bit more than the provided dividers allowed. This fits pretty much everything I need except my large reflector, but once all airlines allow this as carry on, I'm more than happy.

• Nikon D700 + 85mm lens
• Fuji X100
• Nikkor 14-24mm, 24-70mm, 50mm
• Nikon Speedlight SB800
• 2 x Cactus triggers
• Nikon & Fuji chargers
• AA batteries
• Camera batteries
• Memory card case
• Memory  card reader
• Blower
• Cables (flash, power)
• Torch, Monocular, pocket tripod (for Fuji), lens & body caps, mp3 player
• And other smaller bits in the pocket on the left of the photo

Pros

• Meets all airline carry on specs
• Sturdy, well padded
• Its a roller!
• Adjustable layout
• Handle can be hidden away
• Side handles
• All weather cover
• Front pockets

Cons

• Given that its airline regulation size, I can't really put lack of laptop space as a con

Magnum Contact Sheets

This is the coffee table book of coffee table books, coming in at 508 pages, 13.9 x 11.6 x 1.9 inches and a hefty 9.7 pounds, 139 contact sheets from 69 photographers. It's beautifully put together, even the cover is like a package you would find in the darkroom.

I'm old enough to remember when there wasn't the choice for digital or analogue so remember well the negative and contact sheet process, and in some ways it was more satisfying than my current process in the digital age, but in others its not all that different at all, analogue & digital workflow processes have adapted rather than changed.

Most of the photos that people recognize were taken by a Magnum photographer, and I don't think the history of Magnum could have been put together any better than this.

Showing not just "the shot" but the shots that were discarded, and information behind the shot. There is varying sizes of the negatives (35mm, slide, large format, b&w, colour), and with a page at 13.9 x 11.6 inches, there is plenty of room for displaying the contact sheets, and full page shots look fantastic.

Photos included go from 1930 (actually before Magnum was set-up) right up to 2010, and include portraits of likes of Che Guevara, Martin Luther King, JFK, Thatcher, Mother Teresa, Muhammad Ali, documentation of wars, events, massacres, riots, uprisings, disasters and general life. Interesting extras such as comments, notes, press passes and of course details behind the shot from the photographers themselves.

If you are a photographer you will love this, if you are a photojournalist (professional or otherwise) you need this!

McCullin

Donald McCullin, CBE Hon FRPS (born 9 October 1935, Finsbury Park, London, England) is an internationally known British photojournalist, particularly recognized for his war photography and images of urban strife. His career, which began in 1959, has specialised in examining the underside of society, and his photographs have depicted the unemployed, downtrodden and the impoverished. (from wiki) 

A fantastic documentary from his start photographing the people of Finsbury Park, to Civil War in Cypress, The Congo, Vietnam, Lebanon. It was a different before (photo)journalists were officially  "embedded" and they took photos of what the saw and encountered, not just what they were shown. His accounts of what he saw are harrowing and he himself was scared he was becoming a "war junkie", seeing so much devastation that it started to not effect him. He talks of the people, soldiers, mercenaries he encountered. As well as the interview for the documentary, old snippets of interviews are used from news pieces to his appearance on Parkinson.

He speaks very openly and comes across as very honest and humble and you can clearly see how everything he has seen in his photographic life has effected him. When it finished, it didn't seem anywhere near the 90minute running time, always a good sign especially when it comes to documentaries. This is a must see for all, not just photographers, it really shows how much of the horrors of war just one man captured. 

He now lives in the English countryside and takes landscapes, a far cry from his days of putting his life on the line to show the world the horrors of war.

Helmut Newton 10th Anniversary edition of Sumo

Who really needs an introduction to Helmut Newton?

Helmut Newton (31 October 1920 Berlin Germany - 23 January 2004 West Hollywood, California USA) was a German-Australian photographer famous for his fashion, nude and portrait photography at times even being known for his controversial work. His work has been featured in the likes of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Playboy.

In 2005, his world famous photograph of Henriette Allais titled "Big Nude III" was sold at an auction for the world record price of $311,000.

SUMO was originally released limitedly in 1999, breaking all records for size, weight and resell price, going for thousands of dollars. Copy number one of the book autographed by over 100 of the books photographed celebrities sold at auction in April 2000 for record breaking whopping $430,000.

Luckily for most of with not so deep pockets, in 2009 this was re-released, smaller and somewhat more affordable (somewhere around the €80 mark).

Although smaller this is still one of the biggest books I have, I had to extend the shelve height to fit it, and at 7KG make sure its a solid shelf! Even with the shelf extension, I have to take other books of the shelf, and tilt it to get it on/off the there.

In fact it even comes with its own plexiglass reading stand, packaged together in a nice box with handle and all! It also comes with a little booklet on the making of the book. With pages being 26.7 x 37.4 cm, and a mixture of square, landscape and portrait photographs, they are all nice a big with some colour but the majority in black & white.

Photographs in the book cover all aspects of his work - portraits, nude and fashion, bringing together 40 years of his life's work - I think 450 photographs in all. Alot of the images are fashion shots for the likes of Vogue, others are more well known people in the fashion industry and movie stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Catherine Devenue, Karl Lagerfeld, Dennis Hopper, Kate Moss, Winona Ryder, Naomi Campbell, Andy Warhol, Twiggy, Charlotte Rampling, Nicolas Cage, Daryl Hannah, Sigourney Weaver.

Who is this book for? Fashion, nude and portrait photographers. Taschen really out did themselves on this one, 7KG, 480 pages, 450 photographs, making of booklet, reading stand.

A great documentary on the making of the book can be found here.

Retrospective 30

This is one of the bigger bags from the Retrospective® range. It wouldn't be the bag for a walk-about, but it is the perfect bag for most location shoots, weddings etc. with the amount of gear that you can fit in it. In fact this fits so much of my gear, it will replace two other bags I usually have to use for when I am out on location.

The first thing that stands out is how unlike a camera bag this looks, so if you do have it out and about its not going to be screaming out camera inside rob me!

Front Exterior

Back Exterior

It comes with two straps, hand strap (which can be removed if required) and shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is very nicely padded and one of the most comfortable I've come across. The shoulder strap pad also firmly stays in place. Another manufacturers bag I use I constantly have to fix the padding to my shoulder, driving me nuts.

The back of the bag contains a large single compartment, for notepad etc. My iPad in its case just about fits with zip closed. I like the pinestrone color too, a bit of a Magnum vibe about it! It is also available in black.

Once you open the flap you have plenty of choice for what goes where. It is as divided as follows:

• DSLR in middle
• Large lens either side
• all 3 of these compartments can be adjusted or removed as needed
• Either end of the bag has a flash pouch - this will give up real estate to a smaller lens
• Large back compartment
• Bits & pieces compartment

Inner Compartment

Inner Compartment with flaps open on front pockets

The front pockets are big, one side containing the weather flap, and still with room to fit at least another body. The empty pocket can easily take an 85, 50, lensbaby, and yet again still have plenty of room left for more bits.

Lens & Flash pouch

The inside back has a large pouch for notebook, iPad, or possibly a small laptop. In between the front pockets and main compartment is an other large area (again subdivided) for bits & pieces like extra memory cards, cleaning kit, cables, batteries, pens.

Inner bits & pieces compartment

On top of all the other compartments I nearly missed 2 more! On the outside of the bag either end again has a deep pocket, for the likes of phone and other similar smaller items.

I know I already said that its not a walk-about bag, but thats if you have it full of gear and gets weighty. As you can see from the photographs below from the exterior it doesn't look big, so if you pack lightly then it would be perfect for you.

Other nice little features include:

• business card compartment
• choice to have the front flap use the velcro contacts or not - i.e. making it silent
• key lanyard

Pros:

• Doesn't look like camera bag
• Plenty of pockets & compartments
• Nicely divided up
• Shoulder & hand straps
• Rain cover
• Fits a load of gear
• Strap padding stays in place!

Cons:

• Top flaps Velcro's shut, no zip
• Wont fit large laptop

This would be perfect for the likes of wedding photographers, all your gear together and not cramped

If you are looking for a walkabout bag, this is probably not it, it just takes too much gear. There are a number of Retrospective®'s of varying sizes in the range, so if this sounds too big for you, I'd definitely recommend checking out the smaller versions such as the Retrospective® 10.

To end this, I was really surprised by how much gear this fits, and I'll repeat myself again, this has loads of room!

Vanguard Nivelo 204SL Tripod

The Nivelo range of tripods are aimed at the smaller sized camera market - bridge / 4/3's / mirror-less etc. For this review I'll be using my Fuji X100. The first thing that stands out is the size of the tripod, very neat. At first look/feel it seems too light, but I'll explain all in the review.

The box!

Tripod & Case

Tripod in case

I've had compact tripods before, but the legs were locked in place with the usual clip, adding to the size of the tripod. The Nivelo uses the leg itself, swiveling it to lock the leg in place, this also makes it nice and fast to do. I've read some reviews that don't like this system and that the legs are prone to collapse when you think they are locked in place. Well I've often forgot to snap the clips back on my Manfrotto and seen the leg collapse, so its up to the user to ensure things are locked in place before throwing a camera on top!

Another great part about the Nivelo is that the centre column ( Quick Fold Central Column) inverts without having to remove the camera, or even remove the column, you simply pull it up, release the safety catch, swivel it around, allowing you to get close to the ground or your subject. Fast and hassle free. I rather like this even though I probably wouldn't have need for it, but for macro shooters this is probably the best feature of the tripod besides its size/weight.

Tripod - legs collapsed

A nice neat head, since this is aimed at smaller cameras, big heavy handles aren't needed. Spins 360 on the horizontal, and unto 90 on the vertical. I've always had a removable shoe on my tripods, so it will take a bit of getting used to having to remove the camera from the tripod by unscrewing it rather than a release catch, but this style does help keep the size down. And of course you wont be searching for the head when you forget to replace it! In this area theres also a spirit level, handy if you cant get that horizon straight!

Front

Side

Back

I know some people would say, why would you need a tripod unless you're using an SLR, well a lot of the mirror-less cameras are only a step behind SLRs, theres no reason why you can't achieve the same results. I use the Fuji for a lot of video and long exposures, but it looks lost on top of my Manfrotto, but on top of the Nivelo it looks right at home!

Quick Fold Central Column

Spirit Level

90 degrees

I nearly always have the Fuji with me these days, so this would be the perfect tripod to have under the seat of the car (which it fits under very nicely!) for those spur of the moments pulling the car to catch that long exposure or to catch some video.

And as for travel I wouldn't hesitate to take this me, any other tripod I've had has been too bulky/big/heavy to bother bringing. This will easily fit in a carry on bag.

Centre column reversed	Centre column reversed

Fully extended the tripod mightn't go as high as you'd like, but this is what you sacrifice for the collapsed size & weight, I can live with that!

Given its size and weight (very light) it doesn't feel cheap like I'd expect - aliminimum for the legs and center column, tough plastic for the other parts, and the feet being slightly rubbery to give a bit of grip - all the parts feel solid and look well, and with the legs in the collapsed position, this makes a great table top tripod too!

It also comes with a nicely padded case that I nearly missed, as it is stored at the bottom of the packing! The User Manual is part of the packaging, should you need to use it, but the tripod is mad easy to use, a few seconds fiddling and you'll have it down.

CameraBag 2

I'm not sure how I stumbled across CameraBag, but when I did they were offering it for $19 (€15/£12) with a free upgrade to CameraBag 2 which was following in a number of weeks. 

What its not is Photoshop, but almost! What it is, is probably the best $19 I've ever spent! 

I have been using it as my final pass for a number of images after I've prepared and cleaned the photo in Lightroom. I've even by-passed Lightroom and just processed a number of photos in here. Combing this with something like GIMP is the perfect and very affordable alternative to Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture etc. 

The thing that stood out the most for me with CameraBag was how easy it was to use and get going with it straight away. The interface is clean, simple and very intuitive:

• Application menu down the right, with a sub menu for items inside each section
• Adjust menu along the bottom when an item is chosen from the application menu
• Both side and bottom menus can be hidden when required

Menus

You get adjustment options (25 of them) - subdivided into Basics, Light, Color, Photographic & Utilty. Some of these adjustments include:

• crop
• rotate
• exposure
• contrast
• saturation
• vibrance
• brightness
• shadows
• various curves
• grain
• color correction
• tint
• RGB curve
• and a lot of other options

The amount of filters (like presets in Lightroom) it comes with by default is fantastic, a great start to processing your image. You have full control over these filters to adjust them and make them your own. You can save your own and share them, and add other new ones, other people have made.

The adjustment controls are a nice size and really easy to understand and use, the slider being big enough to tweak as necessary. It has non-destructive editing, and removing an effect is as easy as just closing the control for it, no need for Cntrl-Z'ing!

Adjustments

Inline Preview gives you a preview beside your original image. You are not limited to one preset, you can layer presets, adding them one after another.

Inline Preview

Quicklooks is a nice feature which takes the Inline Preview a step further, where you get a page of thumbnails with all presets worked on your photo, see one you like click on it and adjust as necessary.

Quicklook

Another nice easy to use feature is Batch Processing, its a cinch; adjust one image, then point the software to the folder you want to run it on the rest of your images which get output with an added _cb to the orignal filename by default.

The only things I found lacking were controls such as clone/heal, dodge/burn, watermarking, but as I've already said above, I've been using this as a last pass, and as I've said, combined with the likes of GIMP this is perfect for you. And for the cost of takeaway & DVD it is more than worth it.

For what it has to offer at the price I wouldn't be expecting anything more...in fact I would have thought it had a lot less.

Camerabag 2 is currently $24 - http://nevercenter.com/camerabag/desktop

<br />
Mark Condren (PPAI Photojournalist of the Year 2009, 2010) gained&nbsp;unprecedented&nbsp;access to photograph An Garda Síochána (the Irish police) for a year.<br />
<br />
His idea began in 2007 when his son was born with Type 1 diabetes and spent alot of time in Temple Street Childrens Hospital. He decided to raise some money for the hospital and with his father, uncle and wife &nbsp;in or ex Garda he thought a photo book on the Garda was a good way to go. The Garda Press Office and Superintendent John Gilligan were on board and it was set in motion.<br />
<br />
I hadn't heard about the book and stumbled across (not even in the photo section) it in a bookshop. A quick flick through the pages and I was walking to pay for it before seeing the price (a very nice €25) or that the proceeds would be going to the charity. The quality of the photographs and the amount of content and subjects covered really is amazing and I&nbsp;wouldn't&nbsp;have hesitated to spend twice the cost on it.<br />
<br />
It is divided into &nbsp;a number of chapters varying in size and themes, with a little introduction for each chapter, with each photograph getting a brief explanation.<br />
<br />
Photographs include a look at training at Templemore, riots, Obamas visit. Rural &amp; inner city Garda and their interaction with the local residents. Photographs of night patrols, checkpoints, breath tests. There are nice concise chapters for things like "The Poitín Still".<br />
<br />
Crazy nights in Templebar ending in the wrong end of high heels in hand cuffs! Crime scenes and forensics.&nbsp;Topics such as "A Ballot Box" of a little photo essay of voting on the islands. A little insight into RTE's "Crimecall".<br />
<br />
The Aqua Unit. The Immigration Unit. Ballistics. The Air Unit. The Drugs Unit. Mounted Division. Its all covered and the access Mark got and his photographs are really impressive.<br />
<br />
If you have an interest in policing this is for you, or like me if you like photojournalism you'll love this. And at the great price of €25 for top quality and the chairty involved makes it an extra bonus.<br />
