Thanks for commenting, George. I did bracket the exposure, but the one which to my eyes was best was the "neutral" one, which is reproduced here "as shot" except for a little LR noise reduction, the appication of the Pro Std profile and of course cropping . Even the WB was Auto.Very nice Stephen, with spot on exposure giving detail in the shadows & highlights.
George.
So it's not just me! I felt that way too but didn't like to say. Although there are other mechanical aspects of the 2 I prefer such as the flippy screen and the joystick.

Hi Trevor - I remember you to
Fun times on the old X10 thread - my philosophy on photography full stop.
Just thought I'd give the X-T2 a try out last week under stdio conditions before I went away for a few days. Must admit I'm pretty damn' pleased with the quality of results that can be obtained from these units. (Looks better at full res on Flickr.)
X-T2, 105mm Micro Nikkor Lens, 1/125th @ F11, ISO-200, Multi Flash.
George.
Brilliant - thanks for the confirmation on this. I know what I'll be doing this evening!"RESULT" I've just updated my X-T2 to the latest firmware (Version 1.10) and I'm pleased to say my Non updated Nissin i40 flash is now working just fine with TTL Flash Auto Zoom etc etc. As yet I've not tried the HSS setting.
George.
Good, even, clarity. BTW good to know the i40 now works. I seldom use flash but that's what I've got. Not tried mine yet 'cos I can't find it after the move!Just thought I'd give the X-T2 a try out last week under stdio conditions before I went away for a few days.

GreatSad minds and all that
It's so good I couldn't tell where the light was coming from or that artificial light had been used. Many thanks SJ, much appreciate your comments.
"The lighting setup was three soft boxed studio heads.
Light #1 was overhead on a boom arm slightly behind the subject and angled forward enough to keep any stray light from the black paper BG.
Light #2 was from the right (looking at the subject) slightly behind and at the same height as the subject and once again angled forward enough to keep any stray light from the BG with the same power setting as Light #1.
Light #3 was to the left just off camera axis (looking at the subject) and set to about 2/3 of a stop less power than the other two"
Hope this helps.
George.
Thanks George. I'm just trying to visualise the set up in my head
The pic could easily be in a magazine or the cover of a magazine!
Thanks George, much appreciated. TBH this was more a bit of fun than anythingNice bit of photography Toby, with some good reflections that are not overdone and competing with the subject.
George.
The reflections were as shot, they're not done in post.
Lol yours is a lot better set up than mine. Think I might start a project taking danbo to different places and taking photos. Bit like when garden gnomes used to get taken and travel abroad!!!GreatSad minds and all that
Yep, seen loads of these. Although that Nutella one made me chuckle
Mine won't be going too far though 
I had the Pro2, but only used it in duller conditions. Illogically I thought the colours and rendering were better than the XT2, but did not enjoy the ergonomics. I suspect that I've not yet got a true grip on processing the raws from the T2 and once I have, will like them.
Strange how Fuji files need 'special' handling isn't it?
