Here are the questions
that Marco answers on this episode:
- Hi Marco, I've heard you make
the argument in favor of tilt LCD screens on cameras and that they
can be very useful and sometimes can get you shots that would be
hard to get without it. I’m in the process of buying a new camera
and want to buy one with a tilt LCD. But there are different kind
of flip and rotating screens and I’m wondering where the advantages
of the different kinds are? I’m doing mainly interior and outdoor
photography.Thanks!
Question from: Melissa from
Boston, Massachusetts
- Hi Scott & Marco, why is it
that documentary photography and street photography work better
with wider angle lenses than tele lenses? It feels much easier to
get a clean, nondistracting image when I zoom in closer to the
subject. Thank you!
Question from: Piotre from
Krakow, Poland
- Should I buy a kit lens bundle
as they are often a good value or rather buy the body only and use
the extra money for the better lens that I really want?
Question from: Frank from
Brisbane, Australia
- Hi Guys, one questions from
Cologne in Germany: If you could look in your crystal ball, would
you see 3rd party lens producers like Tamron, Sigma or Tokina
to develop lenses for Fuji in the future? I only know about Zeiss
and Samyang which are no real serious competitors for Fuji lenses.
Thank you, and have a nice X-Mas.
Question from: Daniel from
Cologne, Germany
- I have a question about
TETHERING. I’ve got a FujiFilm X-T2, great camera, and I’ve got a
27” retina iMac, so in that respect, tethering at home is no
problem. But if I’m shooting portraits outside the home, or doing
real estate photography, it’s not practical to bring a desktop
computer. I don’t have a laptop, but I do have a WiFi only iPad Air
(about 3 years old) which has a lightning connection (pretty sure
it’s lightning). Is there a cable, and/or a workflow that will at
least give me a preview of my images on the iPad Air, without
interfacing with a desktop, laptop or cellular connection? I’m not
concerned about making adjustments with Lightroom Mobile, or saving
them to the iPad. It’s all about seeing the images larger, and
giving the client a sneak peak. Thanks in advance for the advice
and love the show!
Question from: Brent from
Pittsburgh, PA (USA)
- Listener reply to Warwick’s
question from last week:
How confident should I feel
about my computer being able to read my Nikon and Fuji raw files in
say 20 years time?
Answer from listener
Marc:
Marco, I have to tell you, that
the TIFF format is an ISO standard, so you will get software to
read the files even in 100 and more years! I work in the digital
archive business for 13 years now! Best
regards, Marc from
