I just might have to look into a GoPro....great idea! To my surprise we do have a dive shop close and I live right by Glacier National Park in MT...so lots of rivers and lakes to practice in.


I would think the GOPRO on the head would interfer with raising and lowering and clearing the mask. You can get a harness for it to go around the chest and flare up your body for pictures.

I agree with the idea of guide to photo and me to enjoy the tour without trying to photo on my first snorkel trip

The XT4 also has weather proofing and dual card shots allowing one to show both raw and jpeg at the same time. When the IBIS is added to a lens with stabilization it is much easier to free hold in less light. It also adds some confidence when shooting water skiers from the boat,(no worries about fresh water splash).

During the film era I was more a fan of Black and White film for my serious photography but I did shoot color. For color I was a fan of Kodachrome 25, 64, and Vericolor II and III (160). I hated Ektachrome with its strong green cast. The slower Kodacolor films were OK sometimes, but the fast stuff was horrible like fast Ektachrome.

I really never thought of trying to emulate specific film looks from my digital photography. But from time to time I do see images by others or rarely one of mine that looks like a type of film. Or even the look of old National Geographic Magazines. I shoot RAW and probably could work out some film looks to my images if I wanted to. Though too me that would be an interesting experiment to watch someone else do.

Yes, I am certain different brands and models of cameras and different lenses give different color renditions to both film and digital. I have been using Pentax since 1977. I have many different models of Pentax lenses, from Super Takumar to smc Pentax DFA lenses. The coatings and optical constructions produce different RAW output. I would imagine in I did shoot jpg it would be even more noticeable. I actually sort of like the images I get from the old Asahi Takumar lenses. They seem to have more saturation and contrast and sharpness. The early K-mount lenses are a bit mediocre in many cases. The later AF / AE lenses seem really nice but require a bit more file tweaking in Ps. Actually I find more differences between my three main Pentax camera bodies, the K-20 and the K-5 are similar and to my liking, but I am not fond of the color from the newest, K-3. I have an old Pentax K-100 that I had converted to Infrared use, and it has a CCD sensor. Too bad I never shot normal color with it to see if it looks like Kodachrome.

By-the-way Fujifilm cameras have built in film emulation and a non-Bayer array. Never tried the film emulation in my Fuji X100T. I wonder if it includes Kodak emulations? I'll have to look.

Classic Chrome simulation on Fujifilm is similar to Kodachrome according to Tony Phillips' guide the Fujifilm X-T4. I personally have no way to compare.

And circle of confusion. (From Wiki)

The depth of field can be determined by focal length, distance to subject, the acceptable circle of confusion size, and aperture.[2] The approximate depth of field can be given by:


Sorry, but what do the letters in the equation stand for?

I have ordered one today. I will continue using the 35mm equivalent for walking around . I hope to get more detail for action and water skiing photos.
Thank you

Hello all. I am curious if anyone has experience using the fujifilm x 100f teleconverter. I am just getting started in photography and this is my first digital camera. There is a steep learning curve. My quandary is whether to add the teleconverter to the x100f for about 250-350 USD, or should I go ahead and get a DLSR or mirrorless that I can change lenses.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Danny
