In 2023, I decided to join the digital realm (I learned photography with a Yashica D, which I still have, along with other Yashica TLRs; I was 12, and I am 64). Since I am proficient with my film cameras, I wanted to know why there was hype with digital cameras. I bought the Fuji X-T30 II for an upcoming vacation. It took such a long time to arrive that I decided to buy the X100F. I love the retro look of the Fuji cameras, but I found a great deal for an X-E3 in like-new condition, so I bought it. Well, the X-T30 arrived a week before my trip, so I took it with me; that retro look, wow, the size surprised me. I have medium-sized hands, and it felt so tiny. Loved it. One thing, I am not technologically challenged, but I was overwhelmed by the learning curve of operating it. My E3 was gathering dust until I took another trip last November. It wowed me. The sheer size and how it shot with the three prime lenses I took for the trip, 27 mm, 35 mm, and 56 mm, are all AF from TTArtesan. Most of my pictures were taken with the 27 mm. Still, the X00F looks so lovely, perhaps my next Social Security check 😂😂😂, but first, I have to pay off my bills from my trip. Enjoy your camera, my friend, life is very short.
@@luisbperez368 😂😂😂 I was just going to say that’s a lot of cameras you bought back to back. But great comment! What’s your opinion on digital cameras now?
@ I retired on the last day of 2017; my home was paid off, and so were my credit cards, except the one I used for my trip (it was to Disney World, so you can imagine how friking expensive it was). I live comfortably, with no luxury. My kids have their lives; my wife will retire in six months. So you can see that my needs are minimal; I live for traveling now, camera in hand. Now, I have to say that my digital cameras are spoiling me rotten 😂. With film, you have to be very careful when taking pictures; film is expensive by itself; if you send the film to a color lab, that is an extra $$$. Most of my film photos are in B&W; I have a small room dedicated to my lab. You must carry an extra SD (I have 6, 128 Gig 😂) and extra batteries with the digital cameras. I only have one regret: why am I waiting so long to get a digital camera 😂😂😂. You earned my subscription. Stay safe. By the way, please show us more content related to the X100F.
@ you are living the life I want later in life. I’m newly married and we also don’t believe in debt. Hopefully will be a home owner in a few years but the plan is to pay it off early. Hopefully I’m like you just traveling all the time with a camera in my had. Sounds like a dream!
Yeah it’s not old lol but you know how it is now and days. It’s 8 years old and has had 2 never versions come out. But when I say old I don’t mean like a vintage cam. Lol forgive me bro.
Bruh, i got mine about a month ago despite hearing everybody say it was slow af and all that. I love this thing. Its fast and accurate. The pictures that come out are flattering as all hell. I dont even want the v and vi anymore.
@ I’m loving it. Did a portrait shoot with it over the weekend. The 35mm eq isn’t my “normal” as I usually shoot 50mm. So that’s a bit of a challenge. Otherwise, I’m glad I picked it up.
@@stefanfischerleipful I’m using the one that came with it. I don’t think it’s replaceable. But if you’re asking for the hood that I was using the Haoge Square Metal Lens Hood you can find it on Amazon.
8 years is long long time but i dont think X100F could be categorized as old camera. There were huge technology leap of small camera markets on early 2010s when major camera manufacturer start to use sensors like IMX071 (notably deployed on cameras like Nikon D7000, Pentax K5, NEX-5N) you can call any camera before these era 'old' but after year 2010~2011... most of cameras since those days are still super usable in still image perspectives.
@@eek0212 I definitely agree! I labeled it as old because one of my main reasons of making this video is that UA-cam is filled with the “latest and newest tech” I think it’s important to show the these cameras that have had so many new releases are very capable. So I that was kind of where I was going with this. I definitely agree with what you’re saying. Young people that are just getting into photography / video constantly have to deal with everything on UA-cam being new pushed products for sales. Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
That’s the one I was going to get! The reason I didn’t get it is because people are reselling them so high. So I figured if I was going to spend that much I should just get the F so that I can use the WiFi and the 24 megapixels. Thanks for the comment! 🙏🏿
@ When I use a manual lens on my digital cameras I use the exposure triangle to keep me sharp. I chose the film simulation and recorded the jpeg and the raw file. Since most of my film cameras don't have a light meter, I use the sunny 16 rule. If I don't use that rule, I will use an app on my iPhone to read the light. Why? Old habits are hard to break 😂😂😂😂. Get a film camera, my friend; believe it or not, life is much simpler with them and slower.
great video! love fuji

@ It took me a while, a long while. But at the end, everything comes along.
If the x100f is an old camera then im shooting with relics from another era.

@@minusmartin I feel the same way! Literally love this camera. What kind of photos do you take with yours?
The X100F is a super capable camera and I've actually been considering getting one myself to pair with my X-T4
Let me know if you end up getting it!
After hearing your story I think you will really like the Fujifilm X10 too.
@@MrPalukassen I’m going to check it out! Never heard of it till now.
Picked one up last week. As a long time Fuji user, I just wanted something as an everyday carry camera.
where can i find one?
How have you liked yours so far! I’m new to Fuji but I’m loving it!
Try Ebay, also I put a link in the description for one on Amazon.

Nice video bro! What strap you rockin?
Thanks man I appreciate it! I just put the link to my camera strap in the description of this video. 💯
Could you please tell me which adapter ring you have on the lens?
@@stefanfischerleipful I’m using the one that came with it. I don’t think it’s replaceable.

Old?!
@@Gack1e well it’s not a camera from the 90s but it’s 8 years old. Definitely not a new camera.
