Great job with the video. There's so much out there now and it's hard to stand out, but especially your presentation here is what makes it that much better, enjoyable to listen to! Also informative!
Really great video! You showed so much understanding of the things that actually matter to a working photographer. Because I work with Sony and Fujifilm systems (I do documentary, events and some other stuff but not weddings) this really hit the spot. Really balanced insights without all the hype and hate that so many on RUclips load their videos with.
Pleasure’s all mine. You should check back on the channel in the next couple of days, because that’s the exact video I am currently working on :) Hopefully I’m done editing it by tomorrow.
There was (maybe still is) a Fuji forum on the x100 S x100T days and I vividly rember one fantastic post with pictures of another photographer that shot like you did 28/50 and the pictures were incredible. Happy to see other photographers doing the same.
This sounds great! I was just doing aome calculations if the new Fuji could be a good upgrade for my Pen F kit These 2 converters make it very small and comparable kit while giving me more resolution, never sensor and a bit more DOF separation
Man it's hard enough to get one of them and you've got two ! ? been waiting for mine for months now. BTW: I am just blown away by how good the low light shots turned out (especially on a crop sensor) ! Fuji sensors are definitely next level...
I was surprised as well with the low light. I'm used to how good the Sony sensors are on my a1 and especially the a7Siii. but the fuji can hold its own. thanks for checking out the video!
I would have loved to be able to shoot a wedding with the X100VI, but here are the main reasons I choose not to: - The lack of dual SD card slots and the inability to save the same image to both cards is a dealbreaker for me; I can’t take that risk during a wedding - no matter what - you only need one wedding in which you are not able to deliver because the SD card fails - thats a huge headache. - Weddings are typically fast-paced events, where quick thinking and rapid reactions are essential. Combined with the challenge of shooting in tight spaces, I need equipment that won't slow me down. In my experience, the 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is the most versatile option for around 80% of the moments during a wedding day. But for street/travel photography X100VI is something worth playing with.
Fellow wedding photographer here, great video! Would love a wedding where I can just shoot with X100 series, but my only hold back is the lack of dual card slots. Granted the chances are super low now with better SD cards, I am just... too nervous for that aspect... Ha ha
I feel ya. The thing is, we’ve been used to single card slots for a long time, and it was even worse with film. So double card slots are kind of a newer thing. Before my a7iii back in 2018 people were totally comfortable with single card slots. You know what I mean?
You could get the same quality with any other entry level aps-c of any brand.. I have made weddings with Canon R100 with 24mm 2.8 and 50mm lens, this set cost 600€
great shots and review! btw, I know it's not fully weather-sealed unless the lens is covered - do either the wide-angle or tele conversion lenses complete the weather sealing?
This is awesome! I'm curious about using the conversion lens vs the digital ones. Does the lens add some compression since it's mechanical? or is it too small to notice a difference?
Conversion lenses will give you a bit more compression versus the digital crops. it's a small difference, but I think enough to make a difference. I made another video where I tested out the various conversion lenses. thanks for watching!
@@movetomirrorless great vid proves it's all about the photographer. Using the 50mm conversion, if you use the crop feature, does it make it 75mm? Does it work like a longer focal length?
Really useful as I’m taking mine to my nephew’s wedding as a candid/wingman and don’t want to be seen with my Canon DSLR. I’m only using the standard lens and 50mm via digital converter so I can use the in built fill in flash. If you had one Sim to use which would you recommend? I’m thinking Astia or possibly Pro Neg Std, plus RAW of course.
That sounds like a fun gig actually. low pressure. I;m still new with the fuji film recipes, but I listed the one I used somewhere in the video. it's based on classic chrome with some adjustments. it's the one I;ve used so far in the last 3 months, just hadn't had time to play with the other ones yet. im kind of a set it and forget it kind of person, as long as I like the look, im not gonna mess with it too much.
Tomorrow I'm going to photograph a wedding for one of my wife's nephews and I'm going to take my X100VI and Canon R6 with the 24,35,50 primes and the 70-200 2.8. I don't think I'll even touch the Canon 🙄. I'm just an enthusiast when it comes to "paid" work, but a professional in real estate (I own a real estate company and I insist on being the one to photograph my properties). They asked me to photograph the wedding and it will be my gift! They will have a professional videographer and I will be the photographer, because at family gatherings everyone loves my photos! By the way, a tip..., try the Portra 400 "recipe" and Reggie's Portra..., you'll love it! With Fujifilm I only shoot in Jpeg and with Canon in RAW. Tomorrow I'm going to shoot in RAW + Jpeg with the Fuji...., just to be safe. Oh..., and I have four of each battery! 😅 A hug from Portugal and thanks for the video..., it gave me some security!
That’s awesome! I’ll check out those recipes when I get a chance. My only advice is definitely have the r6 + 70-200 as your 2nd camera during the ceremony, that would’ve come in handy for me and saved me from a lot of running around (I’m assuming it’s an outdoor ceremony).
@@movetomirrorless It went incredibly well! I'm choosing the photos and doing some retouching..., what's wonderful is that, as I mentioned, I photographed in RAW + Jpeg and I haven't even touched the RAW files yet..., I used Portra 400 and Kodaks Tri X 400, with really good results! As for Canon, I used it for the Golden Hour photos with the 70-200 2.8 and I ended up buying the Presets from Manstin Labs and I'm using the Kodak Gold, which has an identical vibe...! It gives me a lot of pleasure doing this work and offering this gift to my Nephews by Affinity! Thank you very much for your attention in asking and worrying...! Big hug and continued good work with these little wonders called "Fujifilm X100VI"! 🫡🙏💎
I am going on my first trip to Portugal next month (Oct 24). What will I take? My X100vi and the WCL. I am thinking of buying a TCL for the trip. This video has 'nearly' persuaded me to buy the TCL.
Out of curiosity. At any point did you ever use the 50mm(equivalent) TCL in combination with a crop mode to simulate an 85mm(75mm). Mainly just seeing if you risked a 75mm shot at 20megapixels or if it would be better to shoot a 40megapixel 50mm equivalent photo and crop later in post
I actually did that for the ceremony. Thing is, the digital crop only affects the JPEG and not the RAW. Since I short this wedding in RAW+JPEG I had to redo the crop on the RAWs when I processed them in adobe Lightroom.
@@movetomirrorless that’s great to know and honestly it’s kind of a relief that this only affects JPEGs. It gives some redundancy in the form of a 40mp file. Good to know and thanks! 👍
My wedding photographer took about 60 images, Each was crafted to perfection and about ½ we made into an album. Why would any professional take over 3000 images?
I’ve been told to wait for my order in a queue that might take one to 2 years Just to get a X100VI and good sir you have two of them. I’m just so jealous 😭😭😭. Great work by the way.
The pre orders are crazy, especially with how few Fuji is shipping out. I work for a camera shop and we keep getting questions from people hoping to be able to just pick it up the same day lol.
@@movetomirrorless Makes sense! I really appreciate your videos. Sony wedding shooter as well, and your workflow and approach is very similar to mine. Not a lot of X100VI videos out there from our perspective.
I wouldn't touch a wedding with this - my last Fuji wedding was with a GFX50r and 3 primes - the problem with the tele is that it does very weird things with straight lines - the characteristics are way off a standard tele - we use Hass now becuase we care

These 3 lenses are enough for all. 100% of my photos are taken with these 3 focal lengths. Very good video and really good combo
Nice work! I appreciate the breakdown of which lenses you used.
Thank you, my pleasure and hope it helps someone out there.
Would really appreciate it if you could make a short video on using an external flash with the x100v or x100vi. Enjoyed your video. Thanks

Man. That was probably years ago.
Great job man! This is a nice reminder to those claiming that you can’t use these cameras for some pro jobs. ✌️
Thanks for the kind comment! Agree with you, any pro should be able to use any camera.
This sounds great!

I just picked up an x100vi and used it at an event. I loved it but would not want 50mm to be my longest lens.

How are jpegs backup if there's only one card? What about tracking moving subjects and keping them in focus?
My thoughts also
My wedding photographer took about 60 images, Each was crafted to perfection and about ½ we made into an album. Why would any professional take over 3000 images?
Most do bud.
I'm seriously jealous!. You've got two and I can't even get one. How did that work exactly?😄
Didn't plan it to work like that but it did :)
What grip you are using on x100 vi ? I'm considering to use godox flash for o c f. Could you elaborate on customizations you did with buttons

Yikes... that is crazy. I placed my pre-order at my local camera store the day it got announced, when did you put in your order?
@@movetomirrorless that was around march
All hand held? No using a tripod?
How do you get comfortable shooting to 1 SD card? I’ve had some SD card failures (Sandisk Pro cards), so I’m always a bit concerned.
I've been shooting weddings for almost 20 years. the first half of those 2 decades, all we used were cameras with 1 card slot.
