Alf got a reaction from DavidG in Why do I prefer my x-pro1's images over my x-pro2's?
I think the XP3 is absolute overkill for the Fuji X system and almost pointless
Its def overpriced and that "silly" Duratect coating......... really ?
I sell A1 /A2 Giclee Prints of my work shot on XP1 and XP2 and the prints are beautiful from both with in my mind the images from XP1 a preference but either is fine
So there's a point ..... XP3 .... Why ?
People talk about Film Simulation ...... Thats only in JPG, Shoot raw and if you really must use a simulation just adjust in your preferred software ..... Buying an XP3 for a Film Simulation is worse than buying a Leica for a Red Dot ( and I've bought plenty over the years )
Dont waste money guys and seriously dont listen to Fujis "X" Photographers ... most couldn't take a decent pic and only get used because they are happy to write pages of content .... Have you ever heard them say a bad word ?
Fuji make great cameras but please dont get caught up in the hype and waste your money ..... Your XP1/2 didn't suddenly stop taking great pics ... only you did that !

Alf got a reaction from Adam Woodhouse in X-Pro2 Screen Protector
My god you're fitting a screen protector not doing surgery !
Ive just fitted the 650d protector to my XP2
quick wipe and on it went
no bubbles or dirt
very easy

Alf got a reaction from MacPhail in Travel storage box for Fuji NP-W126 battery ??
or you could just chuck them in a pocket in your camera bag .....
I put a rubber band around each charged battery and then remove it when needed so duds end up in bag with no band on ...... too simple ?

Alf got a reaction from Reactivestills in Fuji X Wedding Photography Chat
Im shocked at how much gear people think they need to cover a wedding
I don't shoot weddings these days (Thank God !!) but when I did the Fuji didn't exist and it was all shot 6x6 and my god the gear was a killer !
To have one small bag for a job now is a sheer joy
To be honest I think i could do a pretty good job of a wedding with just an X100t ................. Anyone getting married

Alf got a reaction from rghoag1 in Have I gone Mad ???
Heres an interesting thing ......
I may well have lost the plot (quite possible)
Anyway here goes...
In the beginning there was the XP1 which after a bumpy start I ended up really liking , it had soul it was a camera that just felt right ...
Then enter the XT1 with all its bells and whistles and yes I was tempted by the new camera and ended up with 2 of them
They were fine and I used them with no problems but I did not love them
Compared to my XP1's they were ugly and just had no soul
Yep I know I'm mad but to me a camera needs to have something about it more than mega pixels and fancy focus , if the camera feels right a decent snapper will make great pics , I really do believe that
So....
Here we are at XP2 launch and I have had mine a few days
Yes it works fine
Yes its faster
But having it made me get my XP1's out of the cupboard and guess what .... It doesn't seem so slow
Granted its not very useful for super fast things but I don't snap super fast things
Then I started looking at image files from the XP1 days and I think some of my best Fuji era work was on those cameras !
Ive also printed those files to A1 with no problems (I'm never likely to go bigger )
So here I am with 2 XP1 bodies and an XP2 body , I am 2 days away from a job in Paris and I am seriously thinking do I dare go back to the old days !
I am seriously considering it and if I do ....... who wants to buy an XP2

Alf got a reaction from Francisco Evangelista in Problem with my X Pro2.
Well clever you
Im happy to help work out the problems so you can buy a cheap camera with no faults
I assume you've just bought an XP1 , I think thats now cheap enough
