PRO3 OR XT-3 FOR STREET AND TRAVEL


Recommended Posts

I have both cameras and regard them as interchangeable for most things. For street I prefer the X-Pro 3. I always hankered after a Leica M-D, but baulked because of a lack of screen. The hidden screen gives me just what I wanted in a street camera, a screen I can look at if and when I feel like it, but not all of the time. With the F2 lenses in particular one has a very discreet and highly capable camera.

any comments for mainly street photography?

Hi there, I'm shooting (unprofessionally) a lot of genres and almost everytime I use EVF, but when I shoot 'street' and 'street' is my main area of photo-interests, I mostly use LCD because it's attract much less attention to me and it's much quicker way to frame and shoot on the go.

Thanks mdm. So you are using the pro-3 and shooting from the waist or shooting while looking down at the rear LCD while folded out? Interesting technique of you use it MOST of the time.

 

When you use the OVF on the pro-3 do you add the real time view of the your frame in the lower right corner of the OVF view?

Hi algrove, sorry I might sound confusing. No, I haven't got x-pro3 and I hardly get it by the reason of this sort of LCD. It's absolutely inconvenient for my style of shooting. It's too sad as I think in all other departments x-pro3 is a fantastic camera and now I don't really know what to do as I prefer rangfinder body.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
