That's what I thought when the issue appeared. I don't think it will be fixed.

That's what I was thinking too. I think a monitor with LUT is a better solution to record LOG and check a REC 709 image. Combination XT3, monitor SWIT 55C, Anker 26000 (to supply power both) is perfect in my fiction work.

New member here so appreciate I have next to zero credibility, but an XT3 user specifically for video.

I was using an XH1 last year and an XT20 the year prior, but the XT3 is by far and away the best hybrid I have used to date.

I use mine on a Sirui freestanding monopod only so have no issues with it not having IBIS (and use my XH1 for anything handheld).

I don't use any native lenses, but principally the Sigma 18-35 with variable ND and the Fringer Pro and eye AF and whilst it's not quite as fast as Fuji's own zooms, it's actually pretty good, even in low light.

Where I find Fuji's eye and face AF doesn't work so well is at a distance, but the April firmware looks like it's going to make it quite special.

When I need something longer, I swap over to the Samyang 50mm T1.3 which is a superb '75mm' equiv option. Manual focus only.

But why the Sigma 18-35 over any native options?

Quite simply, f1.8 throughout the focal range. Meanwhile, Fuji's own 16-55mm is at f2.8 and the 18-55mm at the longer end, f4.

As a wedding photographer who also shoots video, the low light capability is a must for me as is having AF for the times when I need the camera to be recording whilst I'm shooting stills at the same time, such as entrances/exits/confetti etc.

Heavy/bulky? Yup, a bit, but a couple of inches shorter than the MK lens and including the adapter, faster and 1/5th of the price...though I'm considering one for next year!

Want to go lightweight and mobile... the pancake-like 15-45mm is great outdoors.

Ninja V next to replace the Feelworld 5" I was running last year.

Thanks.  So that's almost full-frame, be it an Academy ratio size sensor (ASP-C).  Is it true that there's a crop issue (output) from what androidlad posted?

Yeah there is a crop if you want to shoot in Flog and view it as a film simulation like Eterna. So you either have to get an external recorder that can use a LUT to preview the image or just monitor with Flog in camera, or just deal with the crop.
