![]() ![]() As for the serial number on the bottom of the camera, if it starts with 21 or higher, then it's the first quarter of 2012 or newer. specifically prefixed with the letters EBC. Technologies A technology company, Fujifilm is engaged in a wide variety of endeavors. years 1983 - 1996, please send me email and To get you started, this kit includes a FUJINON XF 18-55 mm f/2.8-4 lens.The … A collection of creativity-oriented lenses, which complement the X-Trans CMOS sensor perfectly and eliminate the low-pass filter for ultimate sharpness. It would be easy to blame this on the subjective nature of this attribute were it not for users that own or have access to more than one copy of a particular lens who report the same thing.Hood. In some units (same lens model) the aperture ring may be very loose or it might be quite tight. The whole issue of sample-to-sample variation is something that bothers me about Fuji gear. Of course, that doesn’t mean the situation hasn’t changed in the meantime. (This would drive me nuts.) In more than one interview by more than one Fuji exec at Japanese HQ, Fuji has denied that any D-pads have been changed out when addressing the light leak issue or that there is a “revised” D-pad. There are reports of D-pads where some buttons are clicky and others are not. ![]() Having read many, many threads on this topic, there are reports of users with early samples that have clicky buttons as well as users of later samples that have mushy buttons. Do you have a reason to believe it is not the latter, Jordan? While it is plausible that Fuji has made changes to the D-pad, it also seems possible that this is sample-to-sample variation. Nice to see that Fuji is listening, even in the middle of production. While the buttons are still somewhat recessed compared to the X-E2 or other X-Series cameras, they give notably better tactile feedback when pressing them compared to the first X-T1 I handled. The camera I reviewed in March had a distinctly mushy feel to the buttons. The X-T1 in my possession now features 4-way buttons that have a nice positive click to them. Having just obtained a second X-T1 with a 42A# serial number, I can confirm that Fuji has indeed made a change to their manufacturing on the D-Pad from the early batches. There have been some reports of users sending their X-T1s in to get repaired for the light leak, and coming back with better D-Pad buttons. However, just because they have been quiet about them, doesn’t mean they haven’t been listening. While Fuji has publicly acknowledged the light leak, and has promised a fix for those early cameras and a change to current production to fix this, they have been silent about the 4-way controller buttons. The early release of the X-T1 also revealed a light leak issue with early batches of the camera, where light could infiltrate the light box through the side ports or autofocus assist lamp. The Fujifilm X-T1 The Four Way Controller of the X-T1 In my review of the X-T1, it was certainly one of the things I knocked about the camera. However, one of the things that has been nearly universally criticized about the camera is the tactile feel of the 4-way controller (or D-Pad) buttons on the rear of the camera. Many photographers are drawn to the old-school control scheme in a rugged, capable body with big performance improvements over previous Fuji cameras and a gloriously large EVF. The Fujifilm X-T1 has been a hot topic in the photography industry the past few months. ![]()
