My X-Pro2 Review.


Recommended Posts

Continuing (and finishing I think) the theme of 'the X-Pro1 "look" from the X-Pro2'

 

It would be slightly remiss of me not to try this with the SOOC Jpeg output.

 

I'm not much of a SOOC Jpeg shooter, and the tools to change SOOC Jpegs are limited compared to RAW.

 

How did I get on?

A story of snaps and dodging rain drops this week!

 

After all those articles about getting the "X-Pro1 look" from the X-Pro2, I thought it was time to hit the streets with the original X-Pro, and to make life a little more interesting, I only took the XF56 with me!

 

I hope you enjoy the article

The X-Pro2 and Something Old Something New: A chance encounter with an ancient pathway

 

This week's article is a story about  the magic of finding a new place to photograph.

 

Turns out that not having a lot of time or the correct weather can make for the right photographical environment!

This Sunday's article, well.... THIS ISN’T A TEST IT’S A BIT OF FUN

 

Lunchtime Legends: A Bit of Fun with the X-Pro1 and Leica M9

 

So two cameras... Quite frankly both a bit long in the tooth these days... yet each has quite a cult following, based largely on the look and feel of the images.

 

We can't really directly compare these cameras, (that would be like comparing two different cult movies) but we can take each out and see what pictures they come back with.

Goodness me, Sunday already... I haven't stopped this week!
 
Images Compared: A Bit of Fun with the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2
 
Two X-Pro cameras, one lens, one image editor, and light so scary, tough and hard, that I wanted to hide my cash in my sock :-)
 
But just how different did the images turn out?

What I love about the X-Pro2

 

After all those articles about the look of the X-Pro2 images compared to the X-Pro1 ones, let's have some positives!

 

I own more than one camera, and yet I keep the X-Pro2 around and shoot with it frequently.

 

Here's why.

My X-Pro2 Images: Two Years On
 
Revisiting the very first images with the latest PP techniques
 
Well it's been two years since I got the X-Pro2... I wonder how my very first shots look with how I PP them these days?

The X-Pro2 and Monochrome Options
 
Ted Grant famously said:
 
“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”
 
But what about YOUR soul, how do you want your photograph to turn out?

This week's article is all about my involvement with a Portuguese cycling culture project.
 
It's a ground up concept that I'm proud to have been involved with from the start.
 
It's waaay out of my usual comfort zone, so I thought you'd like to see how I got on...

Oh and I'm taking my first vacation in 6 years, so no articles next week :-)

    • Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek
    • Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
