My Holy Grail Fujifilm Camera

Ойын-сауық

Nothing like looking at cameras and NOT taking photos! Am I right??? Ahhh?
Just kidding. But this video is deep rooted in greed, G.A.S, and bling, bling-ness.

    Ive had my [you know what] since the year it came out, LOVE it to death. There is one thing I have just discovered recently in regards to the OVF; well most of us know that by sweeping the from toggle lever to the left (towards the lens) you get the mini LCD in the lower left hand corner in both MF and AF, and by pressing in the back dial (don't rede,ber if that is a default operation) you can zoom in to the focus area in that picture-in-picture screen in the OVF setting, with peaking or without, your choice... However, I just discovered that in OVF view if you hold that toggle lever to the right (away from the lens) for three seconds, you get a OVF magnifier element drop in to bring those frame lines to fill the OVF and vice versa. You're welcome :)

    That camera is such a beauty, Omar! I remember it clearly in my head when I was visiting Kyoto, I saw a mother who had a black X-Pro2 with a pancake lens taking some photos of her daughter in a Kimono. At that time I was not even familiar with the Fujifilm camera & lens ecosystem. But since that day I really wanted to own one. Fast forward to now, I own the small X-T20 and have made pretty good use of it. Still happy with the IQ and UX of it to date.

It’s absolutely fantastic so far. It’s the perfect compliment to my big full frame canon I use for most professional work. I might actually be in love with a camera.

Tip: get a vented lens hood works well when using the OVF view…BBF: First you'll have to put the camera in M (Manual) mode via the front selector switch. Then, you'll have to go to "Instant AF" and select how you want your camera to AF when pressing the "AF-L" button. You can choose between single and continuous focusing. At this point you'll be able to use BBF.

    The X-pro 2 is my favourite camera I have ever owned. Wonderful, tactile camera with a fantastic sensor delivering some lovely images. Upgraded to a x-pro 3 last year after my Xpro 2 became a little slow and general wear and tear started to show its age a little bit and I still not quite at one with it. Even though principally they are the same camera I still feel like I haven’t got used to it or formed a connection with it. The Xpro 2 felt like an extension of my body. Guess i only had the Xpro 3 a year and perhaps haven’t been away with it and spent time just shooting for days straight to get underneath it and get a proper feel for it but yeah the 3 so far doesn’t quite match the heights of the two. Perhaps I don’t agree with some of the design decisions - perhaps it’ too analogue for me (screen being flipped) or it’s just needing the time to spend time with it - I don’t know l! But I highly recommend the Xpro 2. Fantastic camera that is just a joy to use.

I do have to disagree with you about lenses though. I use all my primes and zooms on it. It handles them all effortlessly!
