Buying the Fujifilm X-Pro1 in 2021 - The Cultist's Camera
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Thinking of buying the Fujifilm X-Pro1? So was I. If you manage to snag a good deal on the x-pro1, don't hesitate. Despite this camera being nearly a decade old it can fetch quite a high price. This camera has amassed a cult following of photographers who are in love with the design, body, and of course - the sensor. I managed to pick one up to see what the fuss was about and so far I'm quite pleased. X-Pro1 shooters, what is so unique about this camera that compels you to keep picking it up?
x100v shooters, I'm still loyal don't worry...

I really feel like my x-pro 1 is just an endless roll of film. Each picture has this liminal quality that I just fell in love with. No editing nescesary.
I've noticed that I get more hits right out of the camera with mine vs my much newer X-T30.
Love this! My first Fuji was the X-Pro1. I “upgraded” to the X-T3, mostly for video features, but over the years drifted over to Leica M (typ 240) and Sigma fp. I recently sold all my Fuji gear, but just couldn’t part with the X-Pro1. So, I saved it and the 18mm f/2, the Fuji X to M adapter, and my X to M42 speed booster. I don’t use it much anymore, but the X-Pro1 is one of the handful of cameras I truly adore.
wow what a journey! glad to hear you kept the xpro1!
It is my first digital camera and I am in love with it! Love hearing about your journey!
Never had an X-Pro camera. But I’m still shooting with the original X100. Liked and subscribed.
awesome! thats commitment
Still shooting my original X100, too. Never got into the X-Pro line.
Bayer sensor as well as the XA-1.
I‘ve just purchased an old X-Pro 1 a few days ago and I love it!
I’ve had an X100F before. It was my EDC camera for street, travel and portrait photography but some dude broke into our studio and stole it. :(
Since then I’ve worked with Sony cameras and they are great tools but they ain’t more than that - just tools. Fuji cameras and especially the X-Trans 1 sensor have that special touch, like a heart or a soul.
I’ve just rediscovered my love for street photography and I hope that it’ll serve me well ❤
Well titled and amazing presentation!
Had my X-Pro1 for 6 years now, the sensor is truly special, if I could choose just one word... organic. Images truly look filmic and perfectly useable even at 6400.
Had a lot of cameras, this is the only one I'll ever be truly bonded to!
thank you! true, the images are very fresh and organic!
I never thought of the term "organic" but I would agree. I'm surprised at how many images I keep straight out of the camera. That doesn't happen much with my X-T30.
Never owned the XP1 but I own the XP2 & XP3. I'd highly recommend the XP2. It's the best overall value and has the biggest jump in specs and improvement. I would never sell my XP2.
You can't go wrong is 23mm, 35mm, 50mm f2 lenses. Fast AF, weather resistant, and very light & compact.
The f1.4 23mm, 35mm, and 56mm f1.2 have the best optics but slower focusing.
Again great video! I'm loving all the Fuji videos.
thanks for the support! ive heard great things about the other xpro series and fujicron lenses. my eyes are on the 16 and 35mm 1.4 however. they seem like a lot of fun!
Because of your video,I bought a Xpro 1 in mint condition yesterday.I am also a Fuji X100V owner.
Thanks for your content!
wow! hope you enjoy it as much as i am!
I’ve been using mine for about a year now! I love this camera to death. I use a 23mm F2. Loved this video, glad to know I’m not the only one out here still shooting with it. Subbing 100%
I love my xpro 1 . The pics are beautiful, and it is slow. It makes me slow down also. I just really enjoy the experience.
yes! slwoing down really changes everything
You make beautiful images, and the X-pro 1 is one of my favorite cameras and with a shutter sound to die for. Great colors, yes, but fantastic for black and white too imo. Enjoy 16 mega pixels of pure magic! Jan.
im starting to love b&w on the xpro1 !
Gotcha! This sealed the deal. Gonna get one with my stimuli now
haha a good way to spend it!
@@andrepel I GOT ONE!!! I love it!
@@kimchikidbear awesome! happy for you!
Wonderful Video! I'm currently shooting on a Nikon FM and everything is manual. It really helps me to slow down and focus on my composition and lighting, just like you said. I'm a film guy and I love how much the images that this camera produces resemble 35mm. The Xpro 2 and Xpro 3 definitely don't have the same feel to the images. Keep shooting and stay inspired!
The X-Pro 1 was my first Fujifilm camera... And I bought it with the money I had set aside for a Leica 50mm lens that was on backorder for my M9 (which I had at the time). I bought the three Fuji lenses too that came out with the X-Pro 1, the 28,35 & 60mm lenses and enjoyed using them all.
Now, I have the X100V and the XF10 and am now content with that... Well, maybe I might consider buying a GR3 and sell the XF10 but I'm happy to stick with the X100V now... A simpler life.
Happy New Year to you.
haha theres so many good options! happy new years!
Before buying this, also consider the s5 pro. slightly older and clunkier, however the sensor is exceptional for the age (fujis own CCD), I would argue that skin tones and hues render in a more pleasing way than the early x trans cmos sensor ie X pro 1. the body is a fuji modded d200, so takes f mount lenses, allowing use of lovely vintage nikkor! just my 2 cents - would love to hear from people who own both!
thanks for the recommendation!
Yes, I can subscribe to that.
My favourite is the X-Trans II sensor from the X-T1. It's the true no edit camera. It's just not worth me keeping one, because there's no pixel remapping, so when you get a jot or dead pixel, you have to edit it out. Which means that whole shoot it and print it experience is lost, because I'm back at the computer again.
heard great things about the xt1!!
Thank you for this. It’s helped me bust this camera back out and enjoy it again
Just bought it :) after the Fujifilm xt-20. I paid 300€ for it. Can't wait to get it. I'll be using it for daily walks and documenting life
awesome! sounds like a great deal!
@@andrepel it was and is :) almost like new and love the film simulations and jpeg processing. Shooting with 35mm and 23mm perfect for daily stuff.
I had the X-Pro1 and traded it for an X-100F but will go back to the X-PRO1. Yes, because of the sensor, but also because the results I got form my Olympus OM Zuiko lenses, particularly the 28/2.8 with black & white were just so wonderful. I strongly recommend you get that lens - they’re not expensive and give you a 40mm equivalent field of view on the X-Pro. I also have the Hexanon 40/1.8 which is a spectacular lens and will get the adapter to use it on the X-Pro. I’m primarily a film shooter, but the X-Pro1 gave me very film-like results that I really liked.
I like the 50mm f1.4 OM also a lot for B&W. That smooth creamy texture...
@@pascaldeshayes5459 I don’t think I used the 50/1.4 much, if at all, on the X-Pro1. But now that I have the camera again, I will give it a go. I have *three* different samples of the Zuiko 50/1.4 I can try!
This is a great camera. I bought my second Xpro1 last year, after the shutter down on my first one.
I love my xpro1, the sensor really is something special. I also love vintage lens but more often than not use them in conjunction with my xt20 because the focus peaking aid is soooooo much better. Its a shame Fuji won't do a firmware update to improve it
agreed! the focus peaking on the xpro1 is sadly subpar
Have several takumars and Minolta lenses I think would WRX well with the xpro1. Have the xt1 and prefer the images over the xt2/x20. Does the pro1 have rather same sensor as the xt1?
@@markscott4059 Hi Mark, the xpro1 is a CMOS 1 sensor, the XT1 is the version 2, XT2 is version 3. Each version gets a bit more crispy!
@@watersignphotography my only concern with the pro is lack of diopter. I wear glasses and the hybrid evf seems very small
@@markscott4059 Me too! I tend to work of the back screen for that reason.
My first Fuji and it continues to be my favorite even though I Have a newer models. There’s something special about that camera with the original 35 mm F 1.4.
ive heard great things about the 35! planning to pick one up myself
@@andrepel yes it’s not as quick focusing as some of the newer Fuji lenses but it is magic!
@@marksantostefano1637 I second the "magic," although there will never be anything "quick" about the xpro1 or the 35 1.4.
@@senior_ranger Yes indeed😉
Xpro1 is simple, fundamental and feels like a "camera". Most cameras nowadays are just technical devices. Like driving an old Porsche, it is not as fast and has its temper. The fun is to overcome and live with its shortcomings and enjoy what it is capable of. The feel is that it is a "camera". The Leica fans will feel the same for their cameras.
very true! some cameras are worth the workarounds
Nice video man! I have got my X-Pro 1 few months ago and loved it, really special camera. Actually, I have shared a POV video with it last week in my channel, cheers from Turkey :)
awesome, i'll check it out!
This is an awesome video and you’re really chill! Subbed!
thank you for the support!
Love my X-pro1 ❤
(and my X-T1, X-h1)
It's special...spirit, soul !?🤔
It's pure...slow down and you look more of the composition🧐
agreed!
Great camera. I shot mine all over the globe for years until it eventually wore out.
awesome! sounds like you’ve used it well! :)
How did it wear out? I found a brand new xpro1 in box. I want to take care of it.
I have tried a bunch of different systems over the years, but this camera produces the most pleasing photos. i can't quite put my finger on it, but I keep coming back to it. Mine has seen so much use that the strap lugs are almost worn through, but I will use it until it stops working.
oh man, you’ve used it well! i agree, i’m trying to shoot with the x-pro1 as much as i can. the newer bodies, while great, have more digitalness to them
Great video and very interesting. I've recently been trying to understand exactly why I enjoy the X-Pro1 so much. I'm not finding it easy to define. It's my favourite camera to use with manual focus lenses - it just seems more in tune with the whole X-Pro1 way of working. I find the focus peaking works better for me on the X-T20 though! I only really bought the X-Pro1 because I used rangefinder cameras many years ago and wanted to find out how well that worked in the digital world. No regrets on the purchase and I can't see me selling this camera.
thanks! yes the camera is fantastic with manual lenses. Its true though, the lcd screen is outdated and the peaking isn't fantastic, but the sensor makes up for it! :) happy shooting!
I'm surprised to hear focus peaking works for you better on the X-Pro 1. It's the opposite for me and my X-T30. I must have a poor copy. It's the only drawback, except for speed, with mine.
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime As I said, for me I find the focus peaking works better on the X-T20.
@@stevieb7121 Whoops, you did say that. My bad.
I bought my X-Pro1 in 2017 new for $499 and love it. I had the XF-35mm f1.4 lens and it pairs with the X-Pro1 perfectly. I also added a used Really Right Stuff L-bracket and grip for the camera that greatly improved the handling. It is a great camera that would be hard to duplicate again today on the cheap.
keen to pickup a X100V and an XPro1 for black n white.
Hi there, just bought the Xpro1 last December! Wonderful camera, especially paired with the xf35/f1.4 ✨📷 old school magic
Also own the X100T since it came out. I use some vintage Nikkor lenses on my Xpro1 as I own a Nikon FE Filmcamera. Very cool to have that option.
My main reasons the get the ‚old diva’ were the very same: ICL system as oposed to my x100t, slowing down, be in the moment, take my time, just think more about the settings, framing etc and of course pair it with old glas to give the pictures a different character! (All the compact ones are great, zuikos have some of the most compact lenses, small even with the adapter. Yours looks nice and portable too. Was close to get the same lens a few weeks ago).
Only things I‘d like the Xpro1 to have: diff colors for focus peaking & some recent film simulations as I like to shoot jpegs with minimal processing if needed.

Cheers from Switzerland
thanks for the support! im looking at the 35mm 1.4 as well. it’s a very tempting lens. also i agree, a non-white focus peaking would be great!
How do you compare the xpro1 with the x100t. I own the x100t.
@@xamuth hi there,
Formfactor: X100T‘s body is slightly smaller, not by much though. Big difference is the lens. Here you see it side by side: cameradecision.com/compare/Fujifilm-X100T-vs-Fujifilm-X-Pro1
I prefer the ergonomics of the XP1, just fits my hand better, better grip as well. Feels like a proper camera, still in a small package, it all comes down to the lens. (Strictly talking size) I have the 18/2 (very compact) the 35/1.4 (w/o lens hood just right). Tried the fujicrons 35/2 & 23/2 nice balanced feel wouldn‘t like any bigger/longer lenses on the XP1 - got the 7Artisans 35/1.2 wow perfect combo)
So, the X100T you just drop in your bag, what ever bag it is you carry with you daily, not so the XP1. You would certainly need a dedicated bag. (Maybe not if you just bring one lens along (18/2 or the 7Artisans) I bought the brevite jumper (works nice - even too much space 😉)
Performance wise, the X100T is ahead. Better EVF, faster AF, just about everything is faster.
The XP1 us not as bad as you read in the net, I was suprised. The EVF lags a bit, not as clear and bright as the X100T but plenty good to work with. Even with the teo older lenses AF is okay. Slower and noisier but works fine for most daily situations but fast stuff. With the fujicrons the XP1 becomes a different camera, near silent and much faster AF. I‘d say more or less as the X100T (newest firmware !) i got the xf18/2 with the body and the 35/1.4 from a friend, other wise I would have had a hard time deciding between the f2 version and my one. The fotos look different one from the other...i‘d say more organic with the 35/1.4 and more contrast with the f2. If AF is important to you, the newer f2 lenses are the way to go. The 23/2 being the fastest & near silent lens).
At the moment I have both cameras and even though I am a minimalist and would like to just have one camera as I am just a hobby fotografer I have a hard time which one I would keep.
For the XP1 speaks:
-Interch. Lenses (even though I don‘t want to collect lenses, more like one in one out - but you have the option if you wan‘t to change)
- feels more like a proper camera
- better ergonomics
- photos have a certain organic feel I like (X100T more contrast, a tad sharper maybe...more digital if you like)
- pairing with manual lenses (vintage as well)
X100T
- better performance (AF, EVF etc)
- nice & compact, more the everyday camera
- no additional choice of lenses, focuss on what you got (less gear!)
- classic chrome (I like to shoot jpegs and CC is a very nice filmsimulation)
To break it down, if I go out to take pictures (foto walk) I would take the XP1 and the lens I feel best (note I still would just bring one lens).
If I were to bring a camera just in case (everyday thing...going to work etc) I might opt for the smaller and more compact X100T. Still managable with the XP1 & 35/1.2 7Art. I think).
Or going on a weekend trip with your family, for the occasional shots, the X100T would be nicer I think. Drop in your coat pocket.
Not sure this is of any help. Fact is, I have a hard time deciding to let go of the X100T. Yes I lean towards the XP1 as I wan‘t to get more into photography and have the flexibility to have another focal length going fwd. but as per now the 35mm is constantly on it and I try to get the hang of that one. So still a camera a lens at the end.....like the X100T.
But also, the XP1 inspires me more to grab it and go out.....maybe cause it is the ‚newest‘ camera in the house 😉
Hope my english is ok
Cheers
я купил себе такую и не жалею. хорошо снимает, прекрасно выглядит.
Great review!! Do you have any film simulations or recipes that you really like for the x pro1 in particular?? Love the look of your photos...
thanks! honestly i love using monochrome a lot. otherwise astia but you can find some recipes I've used on this channel as well
hi andrew are the pictures edited in lightroom or are they straight out of camera jpg?
I like you videos and you have a great voice. I’m distracted by something in your photos though. You often cut off the main subject at the borders. The subject that is in the center of the image often is incomplete. Is this a certain style element?
thanks for the comment! I've actually never noticed that! I'm not sure to be honest haha. It's not something I do intentionally - usually I just photograph what my mind thinks looks good and everything that results is a byproduct of that.
The most authentic digital mirrorless Fuji camera. It's legendary.
very true!
I got mine few months ago even though I have X-Pro 2 and X-T2 😋 It is a very cool camera and feels good in hand.
yes! it still has its place alongside newer cameras
@@andrepel I will soon share some POVs by using it in my channel 📸
Getting this as my back-up/every day carry to complement my x-pro 3. This camera with a manual-focus (w/ dist. scale) pancake lens and I'd be set. I use a metabones speedbooster and Canon FD glass and, while the optical and tactile experience is first-rate, the size of most lenses + adapter is not really compact... So its not the most inconspicuous rig for street photography (although everybody assumes it is film).
agreed! unfortunately adapters do add bulk - the KH 40 1.8 may be a smaller solution since the lens is already a pancake :)
I used to own all 3. Stayed with the xpro2, its just the perfect balance of the 2 but i do wish is had the xtrans2 sensor since it's my favorite.
xpro2 seems like a real gem!
Have u tried the xt1?
I'm on the fence between xt1 and xpro1.
Just got one. Aftergetting an X100. Love the bayer. But the Xpro1 sensor is insane. I had x100s and hated the xtrans ii
I own the x pro 1 and its so freeking good , the screen sucks and the viewfinder is small , but omg the images are unmatched !
I'm using older camera and sensor also... X-E1 and X-M1
i've heard good things about both the x-e1 and x-m1!
@@andrepel yes... both are old camera..but somehow, i really love outcome from both camera
I have two xpro1 bodies and I am loving it! This camera is only for a real photographer!
thats awesome!
Great video and images. I need your feedback. I shoot Canon digital and film, and I have a Fuji XT30 that I love. I want as old Fuji sensor so I’ve been researching the X100T and the XPRO1. What are your thoughts on each and which would you go with?
tough, since they both run on different sensors. if you enjoy the older aesthetic however, then xpro1 :)
X-trans sensor (first gen, the best!)
yes!
Was the X100V your first Fuji camera? If so, the journey down into the Fuji rabbit hole has begun 😉 There's no escape. I started with a used X100S in 2017 and have bought since then an X-H1, X-Pro3 and more lenses than I really use haha On my X-Pro3 I also use an Olmypus OM 50mm f1.8 but mainly I use that vintage lens on my X-H1 for video work. Also: happy new year, all the best for 2021.
i had the xt30 for a small period before the x100v but i wasnt feeling it. the V is definitely special. for my wallet’s sake i hope to not go too crazy...happy new years!
Good description - Fujifilm rabbit hole.Look out for me i'm down there too. Moved from X100 to Canon DSLR, to Nikon D750, did the Leica Dlux7, but went back to a Fuji X100s, XT20 and awaiting delivery of a s/h X Pro 1. I have the 18-55 lens and also going for the 27mmf2.8 to mix between the two mirrorless bodies. After all the hassles of the DSLR's Fuji are a breath of fresh air. May go for the adaptor and do Canon FD 50mm. little price for good glass
I'm considering the same lenses! breath of fresh air for sure
This question is for anyone really. Is the xpro1 suitable for indoor portrait photography in a well light, natural light studio? I have a Nikon d7500 with some Sigma lens and they’re great. I want a different alternative that performs well. Thoughts?
i personally think so. if you have solid lighting, any camera can perform well :)
This camera has something very different. I sold my A7 II to get X-Pro 1 then my G.A.S triggered and bought the X-T1, then sold the X-Pro 1. Which is my worst regret of last year. Now I’m searching for the X-Pro 1 again. 🤣
oh man...GAS hits hard..hope you get your hands on another!
I picked up mine during the pandemic mostly because I kept wanting the X-Pro 3 and I thought this was a cheap way to see if I'd like it. I do love the camera but as you said, be very careful with the quality. The screen on mine is pretty washed out which is a bummer.
I can't use manual mode on mine. It's just too hard to see the focus. Maybe it's due to the condition of mine. It's about the only drawback with mine.
sorry to hear that! at that point i'd turn the screen off and just use it as a pure viewfinder cam :)
Thanks for this! Wanting xpro1 for street.
I know you have a nice voice, but may I ask what microphone you use? Haha
haha thanks! I actually use a Boya lavalier mic, relatively cheap :)
Great photos, which film simulations did you use? I'm inspired to try my vintage Zuiko lenses on my X-pro 1 again. I have just bought a Fujifilm Finepix E900 so it is always in my pocket- that is a massive 9 megapixels ha ha !
awesome choices! in this video I mainly used astia (and a bit of provia i think)
These are jpg out of camera?? I have a x-pro 1, it is indeed a beautiful sensor, but I don't have such overexposed painterly pastel colors.
I am very curious to understand how you got this rendition..
nope, not sooc jpegs! if memory serves, I'm pretty sure I edited these images in lightroom :)
Fuji X - A1 Bayer sensor never beaten!
never tried, but have heard great things about the bayer
@@andrepel The Bayer in the XA-1 is the clearest sensor ever - not the XA-2, 3 or 4 but the original XA-1. There's a steel grip for the XA-12 too for a few Euro that makes it into as good sturdy camera. There's a separate thumb rest as well.
There is NOTHING fast about the xpro1. I can take a nap between the time I press the shutter and it finishes writing to the card. Nevertheless, I have almost nothing that can give me a better image when coupled with the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 lens. A contender would be my xt2 with the Fuji 16mm f/1.4 or fuji 56mm f/1.2.
agreed! the end result is what makes this such a great cam!
Another option is X-T1 or X-T2, the used X-T line seems to be cheaper than the X-Pro line, and it is basically the same cameras.
true! xt options are great and affordable!
Got mine today almost as new for 300€ with grip, it's cheap for what it is imo. Yes it's not as fast as newer offerings, but I don't like the jpegs of xtrans 2 and 3. Xtrans 1 + 35mm f1.4 and pro neg hi is simply the best jpegs I know of. Been shooting with an x-e1 since 2014 for that reason. X100f collects dust, will sell it. The jpegs are just uninspiring, lifeless. Xtrans 4 and Classic Neg has me curious though.
that sounds like a great deal!
I have my Xe1 paired with the Minolta 50mm f/1.4 and this kind of combo is very challenging but once you mastered the focus, helped by the peacking, you can have really nice photos. May be I ll try a Xpro 1 one day
sounds like a great combo! I've been interested in that lens for some time. If you get a chance I'd try the xpro1 for sure! The peaking isnt as good as the newer models but the viewfinder makes up for it!
@@andrepel OK nice. I'll try one day. Thanks for this review
Hey man! I enjoyed this video, just wondering though, the 'magic' sensor found in the xpro1, is this the same sensor as in the xt1? because i have an xt1, xt2 and xh1... I don't use the xt1 anymore, but ive read a lot before about how the xpro1 is special...
unfortunately i believe the xpro1 has the x trans 1 sensor while the xt1 has the x trans 2 sensor. so although its not the same, ive heard each generation of the x trans is special in its own way!
X-E1 has the same sensor as pro1 and is very cheap. Why dont you use the x-t1?
@@jan-martinulvag1953 I don't use it professionally because It doesn't have 2 card slots. As a casual camera id use it but apparently the xpro1 had a better sensor.
"the x100v is great, because you don't have to think about which lenses you'll take with you!" *buys a second camera with interchangeable lenses*
yep! i had the V as my only camera for about 6 months and needed to try different things
@@andrepel don't wanted to sound rude... i just find it funny that a lot of reviewers like the constraints of a fixed lens - but then have other cameras and a lot of lenses... :)
its true. personally for me my wants and needs change as time goes aka me realizing i cant shoot 35eq forever if i want to improve and expand
The xpro1 really doesn’t have wifi/nfc? Wondering if it’s possible to transfer directly to phone as the cameras now days
i don't believe the xpro1 does! other cameras have that function however
I have the XT-30 but I want to save up for the X100V -- love the video!
thanks! the V is great, i personally love it more than the xt30!
X pro1 x ever
😆
I have an X Pro 1 with a 18-50 and a 50-230 and that’s a perfect combination. Is there very much difference between the 1 and 2?
ive never owned the xpro2 but i've heard its a solid upgrade from the xpro1. however i think if you're happy with the set you have currently, theres no need to upgrade :)
Is it easy to use the xpro1 with manual lenses? Is it possible with the optical viewfinder or does it have to be only evf?
not as easy as some of the newer cameras with better highlights and lcds, but not impossible
I have one and love it.
I would never sell it.
love it!
@@andrepel i cant wait for the film simulation app for android
I bought one used at a very good price a few years ago for the same reasons you mentioned. I enjoy using it but the only negative I encounter is the very slow write speed to the SD card. It takes 2 to 3 seconds to write each RAW image after I press the shutter. Do you notice that also? I use fast SD cards and have the most current firmware.
true, its a bit slower than newer fujifilm cameras but mine still only takes a second to write. i've heard certain settings in the menus can slow the camera a bit but other than that, I'm not sure :(
Mine is slow as well. I've missed a few shots of the dogs as a result. I'd take a shot, then the dogs would do something very funny, and I couldn't get it because it was still working.
I use the 35mm f1.4 and a Nikkor 105mm f2.5 with my X-Pro 1. I bought mine on eBay for $350, and the only blemish is the rear LCD, but it does not effect the use of the camera.
true! especially if you like the rangefinder more. sound like you have a solid setup!
Hi Jose, I'm looking at buying an X-pro1 and adapting my old Nikon lenses. One of my favourite is the 105mm/2.5. I was hoping you could tell me whether it's possible to use the 105mm with the optical viewfinder? Or if the OVF is obscured by its length or if the framelines are incorrect? Thanks!
@@99woodcutter Hello Arthur. I have used a Nikon 105mm 2.5 on my X-Pro 1 and found that using the digital view finder easier than using the optical option. The focus point always seemed off.
@@joebeta thank you for your kind reply and help Jose
@@99woodcutter Anytime. Let me know how it works out for you.
I have a Canon 5D Classic and Mark 2. NOW THOSE ARE OLD!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here, gorgeous pics from the Classic.
Do you need an adapter for the Konica hexagon lens?
yep!
Lots of 'experts' took the piss out of this camera years ago, now it's the best thing since sliced bread....
pretty much!
I’m still using a Leica m3 with out a light meter and a camera from 2012 is old. Lol funny times
yep! funny how the camera industry is today
@@andrepel sure is. It’s like cell phones . Gotta get the new one every 2-3 years
What film do you shoot mainly?
I hate this "camera cult" for one reason only, one reason. I can't find any Xpro1 under $1000 here in Indonesia. I am saving money for years to buy this camera, I want it since first it come out, now that I can't afford it even I have already saved my money because the price is skyrocketing, finally I bought x100s. X100s is almost perfect, I just want xpro1 for interchangebale lens capabilty.
:( are you not able to order internationally? prices seem to be cheaper from elsewhere
Use for nature hiking and landscape. Or just for street shooting?
anything! depending on the lens its a very capable camera. i use it casually so i can’t say much for professional work but i’m sure others have that insight!
I bought an xpro 3 and immediately regret it. I got a faulty copy. while I love the 3, I couldve just bought all the lenses i wanted and bought an older body with the same amount
oh man! past the return date?
@@andrepel i think i have time but im not sure. Hopefully not! But its just a slow eye sensor so theoretically not the end of the world
What is the lens's name in 2:34, its looks good
it's the konica hexanon 40mm f1.8
Are those images straight out the cam ?? 😱
nope! they’re edited in lightroom 🙂
Great voice!
thanks!
music is not helpful in being able to hear you...fade in with it maybe but then cut. great video otherwise...I have two XP1's....it is simple and I just bought one for $300 in very good condition...I might buy more!
apologize about that! someone had also mentioned that before. I messed up on the first section and left the audio up but, the rest of the video should be okay!
@@andrepel Not mean to be overly critical...and yes, I did notice it got better, softer, but in short I had to work to stay tuned in to struggle to hear you, tempted to just move on to another video. You have a great voice/presentation and a thoughtful analysis...and it might just be me but the music detracts rather than adds. as I said, use it sparingly at the outset and maybe here and there is showing photos etc. But I want to be clear that your video is solid and I might just be nitpicking. Great work!
thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind and minimize them on the talking portions!
@@andrepel keep the creative spirit, experiment and do what moves you...sometimes I think it works to have the music at a very low volume so that it enhances without hardly being noticed...I watch a ton of movies and at times it is the soundtrack that makes it great. Just keep it going and best wishes and thanks for your replies...stay AWESOME!
ps, i now have two xp1's...why because all I really need is a camera with easily accessible ISO, Shutter Speed and F stop... I have never used video on any of my many fuji cameras, rarely use AF, continuous AF ...and I shoot mainly in RAW so many of the settings in the menu are useless to me...I just want a simple camera that works for me and after trying virtually all of the Fuji models and some from Canon, Olympus, Nikon and Sony, the Fuji Xpro 1 (not even the xpro2 or 3) is THE ONE for me.
Background music is a little too loud. Makes it. difficult to understand your voice.
i accidentally left it up in the first part of the video! should be okay for the rest though
イケボすぎ笑 ナイスビデオ!
thank you!
shits expensive af these days
yeah lmao
All your pics seem over exposed
I sold the x-pro 1 and kept the x-t1
interesting! any thoughts why?
@@andrepel x-t1 is better
