Appreciate this video. I have my late dad’s black paint OG X100, evidently a special edition. He was a Fuji guy all his life, from the film days onward - he would tease me for shooting Sony, said it made people look like corpses 😆. On his desk when he passed was his trusty X100. According to his iPhoto library, he took 28,000 pics with it… I’m happy to continue using it. I shoot it exclusively in monochrome JPG with a Cinebloom 20% filter. It’s predates Fuji’s “recipes” by years, but it’s a connection to my dad - of sorts. Like he was in life, this camera isn’t the fastest or most cooperative - it can be downright stubborn, but it’s got a unique charm and a lot of pizazz that newer models, do not have.

Mike this is such a beautiful comment. That you have an actual totem that he left behind is really moving. Something that was literally an extension of him and you get to make photographs with it. Also, the comparison of the cameras “characteristics” and your dad’s personality made me smile. People ask me on a regular basis what camera they should get. They mention that they want to improve and so they’re looking for a tool to do it with, but I think your dad got it right when decided to use what he had and make 28,000 photographs! That’s amazing. Also, shooting in monochrome with a cinebloom filter sounds like something I’d like to try for a while! Maybe I’ll make a video about that at some point. On a different note… Mine stoped working a few months ago but I finally found a local place that will fix it, so after Christmas I’m gonna pay more to get it repaired than what I paid to buy it in the first place. And you know what? It’s totally worth it! I wish you many more beautiful memories with this camera and with your loved ones that remain. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays and if I can ever do anything to contribute to your process let me know. One more thing (I probably should have waited to come up with a more thought response). The “downright stubborn” part made me smile cause I think that maybe, and possibility one of the reasons that I love that camera is due to the “stubbornness” of the camera as well as mine. Like two old grumpy men who bicker but are inseparable. Ok, have a great night or day and I wish you the best.

There is a beauty in simplicity. Most modern cameras are needlessly complex. At it’s heart, a camera is a simple machine.

Hi Merry! That’s a really beautiful comment! I really appreciate that. As far as the x100 I was actually thinking about that a few days ago. I’ve had the original for quite some time and then last Christmas my sister gifted me the x100f and I do love it but even now, after using the x100f there is something special about the original. I don’t know what it is. A few days ago I was doing a shoot at my house and I had access to all of the cameras that I own and I ended up doing the far majority of the shoot with the original x100. It made me think of all of the times I bought gear only to realize that what I already had was already great. That’s happened so many times. That being said, I don’t want to insinuate that it’s a bad thing to buy gear and to try different cameras out, but the original really I’d so nice to use for me and its a special camera. As far as what you said about my work, thank you so much!! and in regards to the work I put into the channel I really appreciate that as it’s been quite challenging for me lately due to life changes and so the encouragement is so greatly appreciated.

Nice to see you, Marco. I completely agree with your assessment. My x100v is set at M with the front button set to function like back button focus, if necessary. I am usually at 1/250/f4. Of course, these settings are arbitrary but generally do not make many changes. The ND filter is really an important feature. Glad you brought it up. ISO is auto, screen is off and I never chimp. The results are magical. And, it was only because I learned to “trust” the camera. Enjoyed the video. It was a nice reminder and review. Regards……Wayne

Hey Wayne, yeah, I think shooting when we trust our gear to do what it does and where we trust ourselves to use our gear is for me a liberating experience. As far as the x100v, that seems like an amazing camera. Thanks for sharing your approach. The ND filter on these cameras is a life saver when shooting wide open. I just realized I didn’t talk about iso in this video, I’ll probably have to do a follow up video at some point but I also leave mine in auto iso, with a few exceptions, but like you said, the settings are arbitrary. Anyways, thanks for watching and for the continued support. Have a great weekend and happy shooting!

Fellow X100 here, it's almost 10 years already and you can tell by the looks that the camera has plowed through a.lot and it still holds it's ground. It's a great gem and always a joy to have in the pocket. I think you forgot to mention about the Auto ISO setting that you use, but I guess it must have become second nature to you. For me the fn button is assigned to ISO, wich is imho worth tweaking even in the auto mode. Another button that I use in addition to the focus and reframe strategy is AE-L, wich sits right under my right thumb and allows for locking exposure, than focusing and reframing. Left thumb often tweaks the metering mode or recalls the focus point settings, especially the size. All that is easily done in ovf mode, and i agree that it's a great experience.

@sarifoto

Жыл бұрын

Hey! Yeah, you’re totally right. I do put it in auto iso. Except for when I’m shooting indoors with the built in flash, in those situations I’ll just set the iso manually. As far as the AE-L button, I’ve been using it for focusing and recomposing as well as for setting my focal distance when zone focusing. It works well or at least it did up until recently when the camera stopped working. It’s been a huge bummer cause it’s one of my favorite all time cameras. I did find a place that may be able to replace the motherboard but it’ll be a month or two before I can get it repaired. On a different note, I’m glad you’re enjoying yours and getting your message makes me want to take mine in sooner :). Have a great weekend and happy shooting!

Thanks for another video Marco. I found your thoughts on "trusting the camera" really interesting. There is a lot of advice out there about being in control of the artistic (photographic) process and not letting the camera make the decisions. This is, of course, very useful valid advice. However, in my opinion, there are situations, styles, and ways of working which are suited to this - but it isn't necessary for everything, and it doesn't mean we are a less accomplished photographers if we don't. Your idea made me think in another way - rather than control every part of the process, we can set some boundaries for the camera within which it can "make" some decisions. This can be really liberating - as you said in your video. This could be because of the camera's limitations (as in your x100) where your choice of control is limited; or it could be because, for the type of photography we are doing, some of the controls just don't matter. One of my own examples relates to ISO. My experience shooting digital started when cameras were around 2-4mp - and the constant mantra was keep the ISO low so you keep the noise low, and I accepted and followed this (blindly). But then a photographer on KZread made the statement that the noise handling of modern cameras was so good (and post processing tools too) that they just set an upper limit and let the camera decide the ISO. Of course, I knew this, but I didn't really KNOW it. Now I mostly let the camera decide (within limits) the ISO, and I enjoy the experience of taking photographs a lot more. Of course, if I was shooting, say, macro, or printing large images, I would change tactics. But, like in many areas of life, with trust there is also responsibility - and by this I mean knowing the camera: how it functions, it's limitations and what it is good at, so we can make an educated decision about what we need to control and what we don't. Thanks again for another way of looking at things.

Hey Laurence, thanks so much for your comment. It actually made me think and reflect on my process as well. My first digital camera was a Nikon d40 (it was actually my sisters camera but she lent it to me indefinitely:) that camera had 6 megapixels. And I remember thinking it was the most amazing thing ever after learning to shoot on film. I also kept my iso as low as possible for many years. Even when I started shooting with a Sony a6000 I would always shoot in manual and I’d keep my iso really low. And I’m not sure why but with the Sony a6000 it feels faster for me to shoot in manual and I think that on that camera changing the iso was so easy for me the way I had that camera set up, so if I found myself in a lowlight situation I would quickly change the iso to 6400 for example but when I got the x100 that approach, though it’s possible, i found that it detracted from the joy of shooting. Then, I took out an aperture priority film camera that I love using out for a photowalk and I was reminded how liberating it feels to shoot with that camera (Pentax ME). Though it doesn’t have auto iso, the latitude in color negative film is so much so that I could just set my exposure compensation to plus one or two and no matter what I shot id get a useable image. Taking that same approach and adapting it to the x100 just worked. Sorry for the long stories but I guess what I’m saying is that I agree one hundred percent with your statements and you said it in a way that I probably couldn’t have said it. Setting certain boundaries for the camera is a great way of putting that. Anyways, thank you for your comment and thank you for sharing. I feel like everything you said, describes my journey in photography to the letter. I hope you’re well and I wish you an amazing week!

Only a little here and there as it is expensive. It amazed me (and still does) that I could take a general reading with my light meter and set the camera controls and just leave it like that - maybe leaning a little towards over exposure - and I could be sure of almost always getting good results. All I had to do was change the values up and down so the exposure was the same. Another thing I wanted to thank you for is your use of the OVF on the x100 series.

The original X100 is absurdly sensitive to the write speed of the SD card you are using. Anything less than 95MB/s and the buffer is extremely slow to clear. If you use cards at or above that speed, the camera will become much more usable. On a personal note, I just brought my X100 LE out after several years sitting on the shelf and have loved shooting with it. I'm so glad I didn't sell it off despite having newer and more capable Fujis like the X-T3 and X-T20.

The autofocus won’t be as fast as the newer cameras of today but I feel quite confident in saying that I would absolutely love to shoot with one. As much as I’d love to recommend the original, they’re older and the electronics inside can go bad from one day to the next so the x100s would probably be the oldest x100 series camera that I’d pay $200 or slightly higher for. If you find one at a good price I think it’ll be great camera (depending on your use of course but generally speaking I wouldn’t hesitate to get one myself).

What do you reckon is better - x100, x100s or x pro 1? What I am looking in a camera is a feel of a film camera - in using it and seeing it in the photos. Oh and I very much look forward to your workflow video! Subscribed! 😉

@@sergeikozitskii4426 thanks for subscribing and welcome to the community! As far as recommendations. I’ve never used the x100s or the xpro 1. They’re both cameras that I’ve been super curious about. I do have the xe1 and that has the same sensor as the xpro1 and I also have the x70 which has the same sensor as the x100s I believe. I would probably recommend the x100s for one reason and one reason only. Recently my x100 original stopped working. The electronics just died from one day to the next. It was working fine and then a few days later when I went to turn it on again it just wouldn’t turn on anymore no matter what I did. It may be the mother board. I think the sensor of the x100 original is one of my favorite sensors of all time and if it wasn’t for the fact that this happened I would totally recommend it over the other two just because of the sensor and because of the user experience of it is so special to me. I enjoy using it more than the x100f. So much so that I’m probably going to pay a few hundred dollars to have it fixed. It’s a special camera for me. But that being said, the x100s is a tiny bit newer and would probably last you a bit longer (I would assume). The Xpro 1 is a bigger camera with a similar user experience. But it is pricier and bulkier. But you can change the lenses. If you’d like a smaller everyday carry I’d say go with the x100s. All of that being said, if I had to do it over again right now knowing what I already know, I’d still get the original :). I hope this makes sense and that it was useful and not contradictory. My suggestion is x100s but I would buy the original because that’s just my nature is what I guess I’m saying :) Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. And thanks again for watching.

@@sarifoto yes, everything you say makes a lot of sense, thank you for your reply. x100s and x pro1 have the same xtrans sensor. however the x100 original has a bayer sensor. I think there is still a debate present in Fujifilm community as to which sensor is better, from what I have read most people prefer xtrans, especially the second gen. I think I will stick with the x100 series, I will just have to choose between the original and the s model. Hopefully you will be able for fix your original x100 and show us some great photography with it ;)

Hi, what metering setting you use?

@sarifoto

Hi Jorge. I use multi metering on all of my Fuji cameras. Even when doing portraits though every once in a while I’ll put it into spot metering but for the most part multi metering works great when shooting in aperture priority.

Hi John, do you mean any of the later x100’s? If so, yes, I have the x100f and I love that camera as well. It’s a different user experience than the original but I’ll probably shoot with the original until it no longer works and until no one is capable of fixing it :) but the x100f is amazing as well. Just different. If for some reason you meant something else, let me know and I’ll be happy to answer. Thanks John and take care.

Got the x100v but I Think I buy the OG X100 aswell. Coming from an xpro 1 (so sad I Sold it twice) I miss the old Film look. The new one Looks tooo digital

I haven’t tried the new one but I’m assuming it’s similar to the x-e4. I love that camera but the user experience does feel quite digital and computerized at times. And the original x100 feels so good to shoot with. It slows me down in a way that’s enjoyable. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy them both. The new one and the original. Take care!

I just got one finally. 365 us on ebay. Updated the firmware to 2.11 I am shocked by how much i love it. And... i have an xf10. The x100 is Timeless. The photo processing looks like a film camera

Hey Frank, congratulations on getting an x100! Yeah, it’s a really great camera. From all of the cameras that I’ve shot with, this camera reminds me of shooting film the most. As far as the firmware, I’m going to check to see what firmware I have installed on mine. I don’t think I’ve ever updated the firmware on it since I got it but maybe the previous owner might have. In regards to the price… they’ve definitely gone up. So have the xf10’s. But I guess that’s how the market functions. But even at that, they’re definitely worth it. Enjoy your week and happy shooting!

@@frankartale1026 ive always been curious about the S and the T. I have the original and the F. As far as sensors, I do love the sensor on the original. The x-trans sensors take some getting used to. I still haven’t gotten used to the files that come out of a lot of them if I’m being honest. I hope you enjoy the S.

@@frankartale1026 if that doesn’t work for you then at some point when it’s a viable option for you, I’d highly suggest the F. It’s a great well rounded camera. The sensor is an x-trans sensor also but one of the most well balanced cameras I’ve used to date.

Very useful video
