My eyes just watered a bit at the end of this. I've wanted an X-Pro2 for many years and I decided to watch some of your older videos again, almost like catching up with an old friend. I've always enjoyed photography, but you have always been a massive reason that I love it. Your photo critiques with Samuel, your "serious damage with these 3 lenses" video, your photo walks, your educational content, your connection with your brother (and hilarious strap holding technique debate lol) your confidence, yet humble kindness you exude while talking to us. All this to say truly are missed in this space, and I hope life is treating you, and yours well. And please, for the love of all things good in this world my virtual friend... drop us a line sometime, and remind the RUclips community of the joy, and romance, that a simple camera, a great dude, and a chill video can bring to someone/anyone who's watching your content. Today, after owning many cameras over the years, I am finally the official owner of a camera that has eluded me for many years, the Fujifilm X-Pro2. So I thought I'd stop by and say hello, and thank you.
Just subscribed. I liked the vibe as it didn't feel forced or pretentious.
Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate the sub! 🙏🏽
Yay love how personal your street photos are- I look forward to seeing more of your stuff! I really like the black and white tip- it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the super chill and honest and helpful vid!
Thanks for watching and I am glad you dig the it brother!
Going thru the archives. Love the perspective man 🙌🏾
Well done. I like the mention of the "Joel Meyerowitz" setting. Thanks; keep it up.
I’m coming from the X-Pro 1 and X-T10 to the X-T2 so all of the new settings, menu user face and customization options were overwhelming the first couple of days. Your suggestions and clarity helped me a ton. Many thanks!
Good stuff mate as an x100 series user I’ve just bought a used Xpro 2 had my first shoot with it today as much as I adore the x100f this XP2 is a gorgeous camera happy with the first efforts for sure liked n subbed 📷❤️
Just switched to Fuji and I had been making most of my money in my day job and on the side with video but this camera makes me want to do stills and do them good my guy. It fits my fit my guy.
I just bought both of these cameras. Excited I found your channel.
Thanks for checking me out! Congrats on the cameras. Hope you’re enjoying them!
Just bought myself a X100f and I’m very happy I did.
Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Congrats on the new camera! Hope you're loving it.
You have an amazing voice - and great advice. Thank you.
Great video! Loved the content and your work. Keep posting.
Clear and sensible. Liked the modest and ezy presentation style.
Wow. Just checked out your website and your photography is off the hook. I absolutely love the processing, particularly the colours. Subscribed!
J, Thank you so much for checking out my site and the kind words. Looking forward to making more videos and pics to share!
Stockezy please consider making a video on your post processing workflow!
I love the aesthetic of your photos - they almost look like they were shot on a film camera. I'd be interested to see a video on your editing process!
Hey Emily. Editing video is in the works. Thanks for watching!
Love the clean black look, that’s why I went for the all black myself. I agree with shooting black and white as well, I find it makes you want to shoot more, then you’ll surprise yourself with the RAWs later.
Seriously, whenever I'm not feeling it on a walk I'll switch it to B&W with a high contrast curve and everything just starts to click. Thanks for watching brother!
Stockezy that’s the move! Great photos brother
Subscribed, liked your settings and will try few of them. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! Very informative, as a fellow street/travel photographer, I appreciate the realness in this video. Just subbed!
Awesome tips, I’m looking forward to try them on my Fuji cameras. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Hope the tips will help you out.
Man I have so much love for this channel already. Been planning on making a channel myself this has encouraged me. Keep the Fuji love going
That front button setting is it.🔥
Recently discovered your channel since I'm looking into getting a Fuji xt3. This is your best video I've watched so far. Informative. Good job. Looking forward to watching more. Should try the Langley camera bag doh yo
Thanks for the tip on the strap. The little one you showed, as I found, is the Skinny Jimmy Hand strap. Very cool. And, by the way, love the X100F. It's a great for street and travel.
Glad you dig the strap & the video! Those straps are conversation starters for sure.
Good job, I enjoyed that. I'm thinking of getting myself an X100F and getting into street photography. I have a Sony at the moment. It's good, but I like the idea of the Fujifilm way of shooting. Subscribed.
If you're near any Fujifilm Wonder Photoshops, they rent them for free. Give it a test run and see what you think. Thanks for watching!
Do it!
Great video man. I use an x100f in the streets of nyc too. It’s an amazing shooting experience
Love your channel and my X100F.
Nice video man thank you. I prefer to set ISO to front dial and have the front button on the x100F for “back button” focusing when in manual focus but that is the cool thing about these cameras and the Ricoh GR that they are totally customisable. I’ll have to try the zone focusing you spoke about as I haven’t tried that approach. Cheers
Great video - really helpful. I'm still getting to know my x100f, and it's interesting to hear how you set yours up. Thanks!
Glad it was thought-provoking! Thanks for watching.
Found you because of your xpro2 ode video, loving the content. You have some very good shots in your portfolio as well. Keep up the good work!
Awesome review and settings, It push me to learn more and personalize my Xpro2, thank you Jason! I saw the Samuel life stream yesterday it was nice to see you three! Hope to watch more of your New Yorker street photography POV.
Thank you, Christian! I love my Xpro2 and I know it like the back of my hand. It'll only help you respond quicker in when shooting in the streets.
Appreciate the tips! Picking up my x100f tomorrow as my everyday shooter. I’m in NYC myself. Subscribed!
Congratulations brother! What color you grabbing?!
Stockezy picking up the silver and black. My Sony a7iii’s are black so I wanted to switch it up
If you're looking for video requests I'd love to hear more about the black pro mist filter! Great channel!
would you make a video on how to edit your photos?
great video... love the content and various settings you use
Thanks!
That B&W tip is very interesting... I'll try that on my next photowalk.
I like to think shooting in B&W helps me build the bones of the photograph and focus on composition. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Awesome stuff! Keep the content coming!
Great video! Thanks for the tips!
I agree I don't like the additional grips on fuji, if I want a grip I'll use another camera.
I have the Vinta bag!! Love it!!
Best camera bag I've ever used.
I was really surprised seeing you on Samuels stream, I stumbled upon your channel yesterday since I just bought the x100f and need to get to know it! I followed and turned on notification and then today I saw you on the stream! Keep up the great work!
Congrats on the new camera. That thing is a beauty and it always gets me out the house. Thanks for checking out my channel and for watching the live stream!
Really liking your videos. Keep up the great work👍🏼
Very useful video and wonderfully relaxed. Some great tips there and I will be trying a couple out on my X-Pro2 and X-T2. Thanks for posting and yes, I have subscribed too. :)
Thank you kindly! Hope you'll enjoy the next one. :)
Make more videos my guy! Great stuff
Working on it brother! Thanks for the encouragement.
Your colours are GREAT. Meyerowitz vibes
Nice channel! Just subbed, 300th subscriber, congrats!
Haha thanks for helping me get to 300!!
Hey man thanks for making this video been out of the street photography game for a couple years, time to get back to my passion. I recently got a Fuji xe3 cause it's small and powerful. Gonna use some of these tips to up my game. 🙏👍👌
Glad I could help! Love that little discreet XE3. Hope you're getting some killer shots.
Love your vibe bro, im subscribing for sure 🤟🏾
Paracord straps...I use a Monarch Black Mamba on my XPro1 and a Japanese Camera Hunter on my Olympus EM1....Monarch straps are expensive..but so nice,,,.
Just checked them out. Very nice straps! Might have to slap one on the new rig.
Great video! 👍😀 it is very helpful.
Very nice and informative video. I have used mft (GF1 and GX7) for nine years now,
bought a nos GF1 a few months ago. Considering switching to 100F. Regards Ulf
I hear those are solid cameras. I personally like the operations of the x100f but if you ever try one out, let me know what you think!
Need to do a update of this video with the xt3. Just going thru all your videos. Fire... I used to work down town. Now I’m upstate in Saratoga county.
You ain't lying! Thanks for watching brother and look out for that update soon!
Fair play, no nonsense you got a subscribe from me. I’d like to see more with the x100f. Keep it up man.
So I just discovered your channel with this video and I want you to know how much more excellent it is over all the other "pros" I am subscribed to, worldwide. Dude, you are awesome! I am a newbie from Atlanta and I may need your advice in the near future on a Fuji system. I had to subscribe and I want you to know, once again, how great you are!
Sean
Sean, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful message, you've made my month in doing so.
Can't tell you how much joy it brings me to know people are finding value in these videos. Feel free to reach out anytime to discuss cameras. Looking forward to seeing some more videos of you killing it on the guitar!
Really liked the video and the Fujifilm cameras, but which one would you suggest as a first purchase?
If you’re just looking to shoot leisurely, I always suggest an x100 camera. 35mm is the perfect focal length to commit to and it’s small enough to carry with you everywhere you go.
@@Stockezy thanks for your help
Really like your style man. Subscribed and followed.
Thank you! I'll be sure to keep it going. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I really want this camera for a very long time. I’m not sure if I’m ready to give up my X Pro 2.
Many thanks for a brilliant summary. One question: would you reckon that the X100F would work as a video camera doing the same kind of video? I am working with RUclips, and seriously considering a new Fuji, and the video seems adequate for doing work like yours. What do you reckon?
The X100F is surprisingly good for video. I don't know that I would use it for anything handheld but on some sticks its impressive. This video was shot with the X100F ruclips.net/video/zWyM5Wf8OZc/видео.html
I can’t find the electronic level in the setting menu on the x100f. How can I switch it on? Thank you
I enjoyed your video 🤙🏽
Great!!
This video was my inspiration to get an x100f, I purchased it on January but sadly it was stolen during my last trip to London. 3 weeks ago. I will spend all my money (again) on a new camera. I'm really in loved with the x100f but I'm thinking to go for the x-pro2 w/23mm f2. I'll really appreciate if you can give me your opinion to help me to decide. Thank you in advance, greetings from Spain! I love your YT channel by the way!
the grip is only really needed if you use a capture click a lot, a tripod a lot or have actual grip problems lol, defo think it looks better without imo
Good stuff dude!
Very interesting
Have you gotten a chance to use the new x100v? If so are you making any videos?
Working on borrowing my friends in a week or so. That camera has def caught my eye. Can't wait to use it.
How you managed to customize the front dial to change the Shutter Type? Can't find on the menus 😢
If you hold any button on the back of the camera it will automatically take you into programming the buttons. Hope that helps!
If I press and hold the front dial, nothing happens. The Rear dial is on the Function (Fn) Setting menu, but press and hold on it don't open the customize options either. Going to leave the way it's and remap other thing I'm not using....(I like that "tip" for changing the Shutter Type...)
@@sirionpavanelli926 press and hold the function button. Any of the buttons on the back allow you to customize everything. I don't use the front dial as the shutter type. It's a button on the front that I use.
My bad fam, I thought it's was the dial...
Great !! 👍📸
Wonderful video. How would you compare the xe3 with these two for street photography?
Great stuff man. Do some on your lenses yeah?
Thank you. I am.
You talk an awful lot of sense! I like your mellow style too. Subscribed!
Thanks for the watching brother!
whats with the old school michigan plates?
Just found you, great video
You should do street training professionally...cool style and excellent delivery. If I was closer I'd go on your workshop :)
This is such a great video. I just wish you had gone a little slower when you talked about your X Pro 2 settings. I'm going to have to slowly step through them. By the way, what is a Pro Mist? I never heard of that before. What does it do for you?
Noted Chris! I'll be making some videos putting the settings into practice while shooting street. Black Pro-Mist is a lens filter that adds a subtle amount of haze to your image. It helps take away the sharpness making it look more like film. Thanks for watching!
Stockezy Wow, thanks. I had an X Pro 1 and got lots of good images but became frustrated with its sluggish performance. I decided just last week to upgrade to an X Pro 2 so your video was perfect for me. My other street shooter is a Zeiss Ikon, so I do love rangefinders and film. Thanks for the tip about the Mist.
Very nice video. Have the same two Fujis and my setups are 95% of yours. The pro mist I think is a wonder I think it gives that Little extra Caracter to the photos. Keep posting. Per from Sweden
Love these cameras! I'd love to see some of your pics too. What's your Instagram?
Stockezy hi my Instagram name is, chockgranat, hope you like it. When is the camerabagrewiew coming? What brand and model? Best regards Per
Loving your videos. Have you tried out any of the X100 conversion lenses? Looking forward to the next vid!
Cristobal, I have not tried out any since I own all those focal lengths for my Xpro2. I like to keep the X100F nice and portable.
Excellent photography and presentation skills. Your comments and tips are thorough, but to the point. Wondered if you could give me the name of the case on your XT-2 and the wrist strap you use. Keep use the good work, looking forward to see more interesting and informative videos.
Thanks for the kind words brother! No case on my X-T2 but the one on my X!00F is made by Fuji. The wrist strap is by a company named Sailer Straps.
Should I buy Sony a6300 or x100f for street photography. How much should I buy them for used?
You’ve got a new subscriber in me, buddy 👍
Awesome video! Just wondering--have you tried the Tiffen BPM 1/4?
I haven't but I know I wanted a stronger impact of the BPM without overkill so I felt the 1/8 was perfect. Another RUclipsr I really like did a review on the 1/4 with the x100f also. Check it out if you're interested in that combo. ruclips.net/video/LInIlVO0Gr8/видео.html
Great video. One thing I didn’t quite understand is you mentioned you weren’t going to share you curve settings. What does that mean in terms of camera settings? I’m familiar with that is respect to Lightroom, but not in camera. Bought a x pro2 today, can’t wait to take it to the streets.
My apologies for not being clear. In the Quck Settings menu you can add more contrast to your shadows, highlights and sharpness. I tend to shoot my B&W in camera with a +2 Shadows +1 Highlights +3 sharpness this will give you a really nice high contrast look. I don't use these files in the end because I like to process them later but it will definitely put you in the mood to shoot.
You explained this really well man. Question, what program do you edit fuji raw files in to avoid artifacts like in lightroom?
Thanks for the feedback brother. I use Capture One Pro. They're partnered with Fuji now and handle the files beautifully. You can even tether and control the camera in app.
Stockezy I appreciate that. Do you know if its available for the ipad?
Stockezy also, i just went on their website and they have capture one pro and capture one fujifilm.... ? i would think capture one fujifilm is it but you said capture one pro works for fujifilm raw
@@rafarmand capture one pro cost more because it works with all cameras if you want to tether. They have stand alone apps for Sony and Fujifilm if you don't plan on using other cameras models. Those version cost a bit cheaper too.
Hey bud, have you tried the fuji half leather case for the X-Pro2?
What's up with that camera bag review?
Hey man, great video! what about the focus settings? which ones would you recommend? I sometimes get soft or out of focus subjects even if I put the single point focus box on their face! thanks
That really depends on the lens you're using as well. Try making the single point even smaller and focus the eye lashes and see what you get.
hi- what button did you press on your xpro2 to get the silent electronic shutter?
If you hold the Back button long enough you can program any button to whatever you like. I use that front button where the evf/ovf toggle is located.
Shutter mode on front button is a good idea for silent places, thanks for the video. btw you dont have to program the fn button for wireless, I guess it works as wifi button in playback mode and works as programmed on shooting mode. can you check on 100f, It is like that on my pro2
Wow, you learn something new every day! Thanks for the excellent tip.
Stockezy cheers man, have more fun :)
Hey, cool video. Not sure if I missed it, but what's your minimum shutter speed on the auto ISO modes? Thanks!
Glad you asked because I clearly forgot to mention that in the video. I always keep my base ISO at 200. If you decide to set your ISO this low you have to remember to set your minimum shutter speed higher depending on what you're shooting. When I am on the move shooting in the streets I set my min shutter to 1/500. If you don't do this and leave it at the default 1/60 the camera will treat having a lower ISO as the priority and dip your shutter speed to properly expose the image. This is why I shoot Higher ISO's in the daytime because I want to keep my shutter speed as fast as possible even when I am shooting at F8.
Stockezy thanks for the reply! With such high minimum shutter speed and at F8 , don’t most of your photos get exposed with an average of 800 iso or higher? What I noticed is that the camera while in aperture priority and auto iso, will always aim to reach the minimum shutter speed you selected. If is not able to meet your minimum shutter speed..then it will start to increase the iso until that happens. You can then keep a low iso only if you lower your F stop number.
That is correct. For me, ISO 200-1600 grain is completely tolerable. It's more important that my shutter speed remains fast than my ISO low but that just becomes a style preference. I also don't always shoot at f8 and spend most of my time in high contrast areas which rarely result in anything over 800 ISO. I like hard shadows and I underexpose a lot to crush the blacks.
Great video, again, thank you!
By the way; what is that nice sax music at the very end of the video? Bye!
I've been following you on Instagram for quite some time and just found you now on RUclips by accident!
Glad that you are diving into RUclips! Maybe will we get to learn more about your process and philosophies regarding photography?
It would be awesome to see a video of you street shooting and talk about your thoughts before/during/after taking the photos!
Anyhow, great content as usual, Jason!
Best of luck
Haha what a small world! Send me a DM Mikeal, I'd love to follow you back if I am not already.
I originally started the channel with the idea of making videos while shooting street. I really want to do it right so I have to find a really capable camera man. As soon as that happens I will definitely have some steady content for the street shooters.
Thanks for subscribing and the encouragement! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
what size is your Black Pro Mist 1/8? Can`t find a 43mm
Did you update the XPro firmware? How does the tethering do?
Hey Paul, I have updated the software on the XPro, but I haven't tethered with it. If I tether it's usually with the XT2 since I already own that cable. The best thing about the XPro update is the 4K video though. I've tried that out a bunch.
Hi do you do weddings with your Fuji gear
I have shot a couple weddings with my Fuji's. One with the XPro2 + 50mm & the X100F. The other with XPro2 + 23mm 1.4 & the XT2 + 56mm. Highly capable camera's.
Nice video! Do you have any tips on zone focusing with the x100f, or do you strictly just use the autofocus settings?
I don't zone focus too much but when I do I like to set the zone scale to feet and when you swtich to manual focus, there is a blue bar telling you the zone (in meters or feet) of acceptable sharpness. It's a really great feature when zone focusing but I'm sure you know that one already.
@@Stockezy thanks for the reply!. I'm used to zone focusing on my DSLR. Had trouble figuring it out on the x100f
@@greywn2611 hope that helps! It's definitely helped me out in the streets considering the lenses don't have distance markings.
Can you please explain to me how to zone focus with the X100f?
If you switch your camera into manual, set your aperture to f8-f16 you'll notice a blue bar that pops up on the bottom of the screen. You can switch this from meters to feet if you like. This blue bar indicates your zone of acceptable sharpness and as you close down your aperture that blue bar will extend.
What exactly does the lens head do??
hmmm... Lens head? Timestamp?
Hey, wait a minute! Your the fellow I watched today on Samuel Streetlife's channel. I had no idea. That was a great live stream. Good vid here too.
Indeed that was me! Thanks for coming over to the channel! Haha
What are your iso profiles set to?
Day: 400-1600 min shutter of 500
Midday: 800-3200 min shutter of 250 or 125
Night: 3200-12800 min shutter xfocal length.
