Fuji X-Pro1 – Part 2 | Bert Stephani Photographer

Fuji X-Pro1 / Photographer / Reviews / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

I’m convinced now that the X-Pro1 is a great camera when you put it in the right hands on the right kind of photography. But I’m still not sure if my hands and my kind of work are right for the X-Pro1. If money was not an object, I would have already bought one. I’m sure my photography would grow by shooting with the X-Pro1 and I’m sure I’d be rewarded with some great images. But I’m also running a business and just like most photographers I tend to spend too much money on gear that I don’t really NEED. I promised myself at the beginning of 2012 to spend my hard earned money more wisely. An X-Pro1 was not budgeted so I would need a really good reason to add it to my gear budget. The personal project I’ve been starting up lately (more info soon), was the reason I wanted to test the X-Pro1 but I’ll be testing some other gear setups soon before I commit to anything.

Fuji X-Pro1 – Part 1 | Bert Stephani Photographer

Fuji X-Pro1 / Photographer / Reviews / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

When the stars are perfectly aligned, the X-Pro1 is simply amazing but a fart in a galaxy far far away is enough to create chaos in the X-Pro1 universe.

What I mean is this: the combination of the sensor and the Fuji lenses gives you amazingly great sharpness, details and color. Straight out of the camera, the files often look a lot more crisp than my 5D mark II images. Fuji has a great reputation when it comes to sensors and lenses (they make lenses for Hasselblad) so that wasn’t a big surprise. The lenses are just like I want them: small, light, sharp and fast. But what’s the point in having a fast prime and a beautiful shallow depth-of-field if the camera isn’t capable of performing consistent autofocus?

X-Pro1 at the Indy 500 on Race Day | Anthony Tokarz

Fuji X-Pro1 / Sample Images / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

 

I have seen it all, weather wise, at the Indy 500. This year it was heat. Not Indiana heat but Texas heat. Man it was HOT for the race. Track temp was over 130F. If you have read my previous post you are aware of my goal to see how the X-Pro 1 capture action. No it is not a high end sports camera. But it does a good job with action. You have to adjust for the way this camera works. So to end this series of discussion I have included images from race day at the Indy 500.

Random Shots from a Time When I was in Toronto | John Smith

Fuji X-Pro1 / Photographer / Sample Images / Street Photography / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

 

All photos were shot with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 at ISO ratings between 800 and 6400. Shots were done with the Fujinon 35mm f1.4, Voigtlander 25mm f4 Color Skopar, Leica (Leitz) 50mm f2 Summacron and the Leica (Leitz) 90mm f2.8 Tele-Elmarit. My entire kit can fit in a jacket pocket. That is liberation!

Shutter Lag – Verdict | Markopa from fujix-forum.com

Fuji X-Pro1 / Tips and Tricks / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

 

Verdict:

- The shutter lag is contained below 50ms

- For some reason after you take one shot you don’t allow the X-Pro1 to take its time and settle down, but you half press the shutter button as soon as you can an anomaly happens which results in a consequent lag of 225ms after you press the button all the way down. An eternity.

- Not confirmed, but it looks we have also a ~100ms of the delay in the EVF. I can’t measure this, but is there for sure !

- If you have noticed we have about 1 to 3s between each shot. Pretty slow.

Creating Meaningful Photographs | Alain Briot

Aspects of Digital Photography / Fuji X-Pro1 / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

I believe that that in order to make meaningful photographs, learning the art of seeing and vision is as important as learning craft and technique. After over 15 years of major advances in digital photography, there is a need for artistically-inclined photographers to focus on the artistic aspects of photography, to the essence of seeing and personal expression, and to the fundamental aspects of photography as an art.

FUJI X-PRO1 – Raw file workaround | SoundImagePlus

Fuji X-Pro1 / Tips and Tricks / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

I’ve decided not to give up on the X-Pro 1 yet, and have gone back to using a (revised) version of the workaround I posted some time ago. This involves creating a raw file. First I create a Tiff from the raw file in SilkyPix using a modified Super Neutral Setting. This involves making the file low contrast, turning all sharpening off and setting the dynamic range expansion slider to maximum.

Using the Fuji X Pro 1 for street photography – Part I | Picabroad.com

Fuji X-Pro1 / Street Photography / Tips and Tricks / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

 

This review is based on using the Fuji X pro with the 18mm, 35mm and 60mm (although admittedly the latter is not really a typical street shooter’s lens).

Unlike most other areas of photography (even sports) street photography requires a camera that is fast enough to shoot almost instantly.

Many times you will see an expression or a gesture which will be gone in a a few tenths of a second. Few cameras can be brought to the eye and triggered in that time period. My D700 and can do this and autofocus as well. The GXR can do it in manual focus mode as can the Leica M’s. Any lag in the camera will lose photographs – not necessarily every day, but lose them you will….

Zeiss 18mm F4.0 vs Fujinon 18mm F2.0 | Photohead Online

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

 

I wanted to test the Fujinon 18mm F2.0 lens and see how it would stack up to the Zeiss 18mm F4.0. The Zeiss 18mm F4.0 has a large following and is very poplar with the Rangefinder crowd. How will to perform on the Fuji X-Pro1 and an APS-C 1.5x crop body? Let’s take a look.

Camera Review | Fuji X-Pro1 | Aaron Joel Santos

Fuji X-Pro1 / Reviews / 0 comments

See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1

So first things first. I’m not a camera reviewer, and this blog has never been about gear or technical specs or 100% crops or anything like that. I’m a full-time editorial and commercial photographer based in Vietnam and working across Southeast Asia. I travel. A lot. And I’ve been waiting for a smaller, more compact professional digital camera for quite some time now. With interchangeable lenses and a decent interface and enough resolution to work for magazines and newspapers and other publications. And so when the Fuji X-Pro1 came out, I was all over it. The following post contains some initial thoughts on the camera and its usability.
