Bruh, i got mine about a month ago despite hearing everybody say it was slow af and all that. I love this thing. Its fast and accurate. The pictures that come out are flattering as all hell. I dont even want the v and vi anymore.
In 2023, I decided to join the digital realm (I learned photography with a Yashica D, which I still have, along with other Yashica TLRs; I was 12, and I am 64). Since I am proficient with my film cameras, I wanted to know why there was hype with digital cameras. I bought the Fuji X-T30 II for an upcoming vacation. It took such a long time to arrive that I decided to buy the X100F. I love the retro look of the Fuji cameras, but I found a great deal for an X-E3 in like-new condition, so I bought it. Well, the X-T30 arrived a week before my trip, so I took it with me; that retro look, wow, the size surprised me. I have medium-sized hands, and it felt so tiny. Loved it. One thing, I am not technologically challenged, but I was overwhelmed by the learning curve of operating it. My E3 was gathering dust until I took another trip last November. It wowed me. The sheer size and how it shot with the three prime lenses I took for the trip, 27 mm, 35 mm, and 56 mm, are all AF from TTArtesan. Most of my pictures were taken with the 27 mm. Still, the X00F looks so lovely, perhaps my next Social Security check 😂😂😂, but first, I have to pay off my bills from my trip. Enjoy your camera, my friend, life is very short.
@@luisbperez368 😂😂😂 I was just going to say that’s a lot of cameras you bought back to back. But great comment! What’s your opinion on digital cameras now?
@ I retired on the last day of 2017; my home was paid off, and so were my credit cards, except the one I used for my trip (it was to Disney World, so you can imagine how friking expensive it was). I live comfortably, with no luxury. My kids have their lives; my wife will retire in six months. So you can see that my needs are minimal; I live for traveling now, camera in hand. Now, I have to say that my digital cameras are spoiling me rotten 😂. With film, you have to be very careful when taking pictures; film is expensive by itself; if you send the film to a color lab, that is an extra $$$. Most of my film photos are in B&W; I have a small room dedicated to my lab. You must carry an extra SD (I have 6, 128 Gig 😂) and extra batteries with the digital cameras. I only have one regret: why am I waiting so long to get a digital camera 😂😂😂. You earned my subscription. Stay safe. By the way, please show us more content related to the X100F.
@ you are living the life I want later in life. I’m newly married and we also don’t believe in debt. Hopefully will be a home owner in a few years but the plan is to pay it off early. Hopefully I’m like you just traveling all the time with a camera in my had. Sounds like a dream!
@@stefanfischerleipful I’m using the one that came with it. I don’t think it’s replaceable. But if you’re asking for the hood that I was using the Haoge Square Metal Lens Hood you can find it on Amazon.
That’s the one I was going to get! The reason I didn’t get it is because people are reselling them so high. So I figured if I was going to spend that much I should just get the F so that I can use the WiFi and the 24 megapixels. Thanks for the comment! 🙏🏿
@ When I use a manual lens on my digital cameras I use the exposure triangle to keep me sharp. I chose the film simulation and recorded the jpeg and the raw file. Since most of my film cameras don't have a light meter, I use the sunny 16 rule. If I don't use that rule, I will use an app on my iPhone to read the light. Why? Old habits are hard to break 😂😂😂😂. Get a film camera, my friend; believe it or not, life is much simpler with them and slower.
Picked one up last week. As a long time Fuji user, I just wanted something as an everyday carry camera.

@@minusmartin I feel the same way! Literally love this camera. What kind of photos do you take with yours?
After hearing your story I think you will really like the Fujifilm X10 too.
@@MrPalukassen I’m going to check it out! Never heard of it till now.
The X100F is a super capable camera and I've actually been considering getting one myself to pair with my X-T4
Let me know if you end up getting it!
Nice video bro! What strap you rockin?
Thanks man I appreciate it! I just put the link to my camera strap in the description of this video. 💯
If the x100f is an old camera then im shooting with relics from another era.

@ It took me a while, a long while. But at the end, everything comes along.
Could you please tell me which adapter ring you have on the lens?

@@stefanfischerleipful the filter I had on the front was the shortstach everyday filter.
Okay, thank you!
Try to get the original x100 I still use mine all these years

Me shooting on a camera from the 70’s 😅
@@malypavel25 it’s probably fire! Is it a film camera??
Hahaha, I love my Canon IVSB from the 50s 😂, not counting my collection of Yashica TLR. Stay safe, enjoy your camera.
@@luisbperez368I have to get a film camera one of these days! Always wanted to try shooting with one.

Old?!
@@Gack1e well it’s not a camera from the 90s but it’s 8 years old. Definitely not a new camera.
