See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1
As mentioned in the previous initial thoughts to the X-Pro1 I am in the process of looking at the Fuji X-Pro1 Wedding Photography options and viability at the moment. This post will be very brief as I have literately just downloaded the cards from yesterdays wedding and wanted to put together some very early initial thoughts before putting the more formal article together in a week or so for the magazine. Obviously, as this was a new camera I used it very sparingly throughout the day and ensured the main part of the coverage was covered with my tried and trusted equipment. I took perhaps 60-70 exposures using the Fuji X-Pro 1 throughout the day.

The camera is so light and small that I barely noticed that I had it on me. And for the convenience of a second body, this little dude makes life real easy. The images are on par with my 5D mkii body and have a very nice “film” look to them that I love. Having the camera on me just gives me more options to shoot with. I bought the 35mm f1.4 lens for it, so while i’m shooting long on my Canon, i can easily swap to a 35mm on the Fuji for those times when I can’t swap lenses. The files from the camera have a huge amount of play in them. I can really push the shadows and highlights in post which is awesome cause I can get some really unique looking shots for my clients…

I’ve been excited to add the Fuji X-Pro 1 to my bag since it was announced in January. I was able to get my hands on one from an Asian exporter a little early about a week ago. With just enough time to get used to it I brought it along with my Nikon kit to yesterday’s wedding. Right now I only have the 35mm (52mm equivalent) lens. Here is a list of some observations after shooting around 1000 images.

Yesterday was my first attempt at taking the new Fujifilm X-Pro 1 on an engagement shoot.. and I loved it! I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about taking the camera into the wedding and engagement world.. especially since I switched to shooting only film quite a few months ago. I met up with a wonderful couple in New York City.. and shot this camera anywhere and everywhere I could.
“I really tried to test it in dramatically different lighting conditions.. and was excited to see that the camera held its own! I really did what I wanted it to do in the field.. and that’s what is important to me. I want to know that regardless of the situation.. I am able to perform my job at the highest level possible.”

Ganz anders mit der X-Pro1. Die leichte Kamera war schnell und problemlos ausgerichtet – da störte es auch nicht, dass das Stativgewinde etwas seitlich versetzt sitzt und nicht genau in der Objektivachse angebracht ist. Und noch praktischer: Im elektronischen Sucher konnte ich das Motiv in aller “Helligkeit” betrachten – ohne Verdunklung durch den aufgeschraubten Filter. Denn dort wird ja sozusagen das “spätere” Bild angezeigt und die Filterwirkung ließ sich somit auch sofort beurteilen. Was für ein Vorteil!

Laboratory tests performed by Anders Uschold Digital Technik, Germany.
Fujinon F1.4 XF35mm R
Total resolution is moderate and improved gradually by dimming. 3-4 step dimming is recommended for relatively uniform resolution across the frame. In the center resolution is very good from f/2.0.
Fujinon 60mm F2.4 R XF Macro
Excellent resolution from maximum aperture. No dimming necessary to achieve better resolution. The resolution decreases slightly towards the edges, but this is generally all the stops, and barely visible.

So I’ve been shooting primarily with the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 lately, just to learn and get used to the camera. I find myself switching up from 18mm to 35mm depending if I’m in the landscape mood or street mood. I took it out last weekend for a bit …

X-Pro1 with 35/1.4 vs. M8 with CV 35/1.2 Handheld. Auto WB. Manual Exposure. EXIF info is on the XP1 frames only, but the shutter speeds and aperture for the M8 frames are analogous, if not exactly the same.

This mini review is going to focus on X-Pro1′s abilty to do extreme long exposures and infrared photography. I purchased the X-Pro1 because I wanted have have a small camera that I can bring when I travel. I also wanted a carry anywhere small & fun snap-shot camera! But is it good enough to do extreme long exposures?

So far, the X-Pro1 has afforded me a different shooting experience, a more ‘deliberate’ shooting technique favours the X-Pro1 user. The X-Pro1 does not do well with ‘reactionary’ shooting due to the less than lightning fast AF, but instead, a more anticipatory approach will be likely to yield better results. Have a plan of the kind of shots you might be looking for, set the camera up for it and seek the shot out. The X-Pro1 wil then reward with beautiful images, in a package weighing less than one of my DSLR zooms, surely, a godsend for a travelling photographer.
