    Great vid man. The XA does have the compensation switch too. The XA2 does not. Hope you manage to make it to the XA4. Inspiring as ever.

    • @edpavez
      @edpavez  7 лет назад +14

      you are 100% correct! the XA does have have the compensation wheel. I just tried the XA for a few hours and hated the focusing patch so much that I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the rest of the features (like the aperture selection). my bad. I'll stick this comment so I stand corrected. thanks for pointing this out, man! :)

    You are a true story teller Eduardo! You have an amazing ability to tell someone's story in a single frame that is personal, individual and delicately captured, you are a far more skilled photographer than you ever seem to admit ;)

    This is one of the best street photography videos I have seen so far. I am not only talking about your photos, but also the whole presentation and espescially the fantastic choice of music. Around two minutes in I had to pause to 'hit that subscribe button'. Awesome work!

    One of my favorite videos of yours yet! It was so funny seeing people's reactions to your shooting. I have an XA myself, but I can definitely see how the click-stop focusing of the XA2/3 would be faster in certain situations.

  • @wojciechsiewior3868
    @wojciechsiewior3868 7 лет назад +1

    ive enjoyed this video so much, not only cuz im looking to get this camera but also because your photos are amazing and the way to take street photography with such confidence and no fear is amazing. my social anxiety could never allow me to do so! inspired me to get on of these!

    @Phistolemon 7 лет назад +1

    you're so inspiring, eduardo! I just started seriously persuing this hobby about half a year ago. you show me that no fancy, expensive gear is needed to get some lovely shots done. these cameras you use here have some serious charme :) I'll try to get my hands on this or something similar!

Ahora mi único trabajo es vender y reparar cámaras viejas así que muchos modelos pasan por mis manos. También es muy bacán que te tomes la molestia de poner los subtitulos en tu idioma nativo jeje, gracias por los buenos momentos ^:^ si algún día vienes a chile de nuevo salgamos a sacar fotos (broma).

    Finally...some street photos made with taste..where u feel some motion, like somethings going on..story...etc.
    So many street photos i get to see (from youtubers mostly) feel more like a quality/sharpness tech test. Zero story. Barely any subjects.
    What im trying to say is..good job, man. U got a good feel and good eye. Keep sharing these.
    Just my 2cent of improvement, if i may....- change the music if you can... makes me very nervous & impatient as a viewer :)

  • @davideades9588
    @davideades9588 6 лет назад +1

    Hi Eduardo
    Nice video. If I am not mistaken the XA3 has DX code capabilities when using DX film. In this case changing the ASA switch will make no difference. I think at least one other viewer has pointed out that the XA also has a 1.5 stops compensation lever, so I won't mention that

    I swear that there is not one image that this guy produces that I would not be proud of if I took it myself. I know "street photography" is a popular genre, but he has a natural talent (I would say) beyond measure.

  • @borderlands6606
    @borderlands6606 6 лет назад +2

    Differences between XA2 and XA3 are DX coding, backlight compensation, 1600 maximum ISO, and a redesigned light trap in the door.
    A neat thing with both models is the distance setting reverts to the middle when you close the camera, so grab shots have a better chance of being in focus. To manually set ISO on the XA3 you need to cover the DX panel on the film cassette, or DX will override your chosen film speed. All compact P&S cameras are a compromise, but the XA3 is the least compromised, most practical solutions for the greatest variety of likely uses.

  • @flashgordon5056
    @flashgordon5056 6 лет назад +2

    I’ve had my xa3 for over a year now and never use it cause I’m a camera hoarder with tons of toys lol. But this has inspired me to pull it out of the treasure chest and put some use to it.

    I think you can wiggle the ASA on the xa2 for backlight compensation but on the xa3 you can only use the +1.5 lever as the DX coding reading overrides the front setting

  • @MrFed-gh6gw
    @MrFed-gh6gw 6 лет назад +2

    It would be cool if you tried the XA4 which has a 28 mm lens and also a macro option that the rest don't have! It's becoming quite expensive though

    I am still surprised that you did not like the XA because it ist probably my favourit film camera and i think for a camara that size the rangefinder works very well. However not everyone can like the same camera. Nice Videos!!!

  • @LasstUnsSpielen
    @LasstUnsSpielen 7 лет назад

    I also really love the fact that you re able with every XA camera to fit 40 photos on a single 35mm film because of the fact the winding mechanism is so fail proof.

    Now I'm sorry I got the XA instead of the 2 or 3. I agree that camera is really hard to focus, both seeing the patch and dealing with the rapid ramp to infinity. Love carrying it around though

  • @salat
    @salat 9 месяцев назад

    6:02 The original XA (with 35mm f/2,8 lens) also has the 1.5 stops backlight compensation (like the XA3 and XA4, while the XA1 and XA2 lack that feature) - but also the original XA is the only real rangefinder and likely the best pick of the series..

  • @myahya1987
    @myahya1987 7 лет назад

    I noticed one thing watching your videos: you really do like lower angle shots 😅 Your work is fantastic and very inspiring!!!! Have you ever shot with a Nikon F3? Would love to see you shoot with it

  • @LasstUnsSpielen
    @LasstUnsSpielen 7 лет назад +1

    In my opinion it is not possible to change the ISO/ASA with any version after the original Olympus XA because all of them will read the DX code on the film itself and ignore the setting. Maybe you can manually set the ISO when you tape all DX code squares.
