A few more Fuji 90mm images

Kids are very hard to photograph. At least my grandsons are. The Fuji system has improved it's focusing attributes a lot with frequent firmware updates, but it's still not anywhere near the league of DLSR or M4/3 systems. I suppose I had about 30% keepers from this afternoon's venture.

I have to say my kids are used to being in front of the camera so they tend not to move about too much. I have to say the 90mm is looking very nice. The DOF I like a lot. #3 is pick of the lot for me, but that could be because its such a candid photo, as a mum I love them of my kids!! Great effort!

Do you find this still applies to the X-T1 with continuous focus after the recent firmware upgrade? I haven't got round to upgrading mine yet.

To be honest Murray, I'm finding the 90mm very slow to focus, even for a Fuji. Sometimes it takes ages to lock on, even with the current 4.0 firmware. However there may be reasons for this. The two shooting sessions I have done this week have been after work eg late afternoon with lowering skies, so I'm working with high ISO. Because there's no IS/VR on this lens, and because I'm photographing little kids, I've kept the shutter speed up at 1/250. I did try all three focus settings and it didn't seem to make much difference. I also tried with and without facial/eye recognition. (I usually shoot without it at F2 because even though it picks up the face, getting the eye in focus is another thing.)

I will admit I haven't yet mastered the new firmware. The 90mm is a portrait lens. Most of the time a subject will be still, so there's no problem. The 90mm definitely won't be used for sports or animals.

Maybe I should read up on the XT1 4.0 firmware and try and get some improvements out of the system?

Maybe turn High Performance on under Power Management (I don't have that on myself - burns the batteries more).

The quality of the lens is evident. I'd love to see some work taken indoors by window light, shot from a tripod. This should reveal the lenses true character.
