Finally Switching to Fujifilm for Street Photography?

Thanks for the video. It’s great to see someone that knows what they are doing just starting to use the x-pro3. I just bought one a month ago and I am loving it. It seems that everyone that posted videos using/having an x-pro3 has moved on to Leica. You went the other way, so great to see your perspective.


I also shoot Sony cameras and have an x-e4 which are all great but there is just something about the x-pro3 that feels different.

I would say in 2023 the XPro2 is better.

I've used the. X-Pro1 for three years, but never really connected to it. Switched it up for the M8 and it feels like I'll never need another camera. It just feels right in my hand, and the colours of this old CCD Sensor are just like I like it as somebody acustomed to film.

What film sim did you use in X-Pro3? Amazing colors.

IBIS would be helpful.

One question Sir: Are you using an GoPro/likewise to capture your walking scenes?

Glad to see you trying out the Fuji world for your photography. I’m a fellow X-Pro3 shooter, and it rapidly became my everyday carry camera. The ergonomics, image quality, form factor, and workflow were exactly what I have been searching for in a digital camera! Is there a plan to release Issue 5 as a digital download? I live a fairly nomadic lifestyle and have loved reading the previous issues on my iPad while I travel and won’t be home to read a physical copy for several months.

Love your approach and hope you're wrong about the x-Pro 4...the 3 is out of production and can't be found in the states. I really would like that flip down screen, my 2 makes low view angles difficult to frame. Cheers!

i really admire how the colors stand out how do you do it? any presets?

This is going to sound insane, but josh, you are my favourite photographer - I’ve been following you on twitter and frequently visit your website - but i never knew this was you on Framelines 😂 watching this video i was like “oh this looks like josh’s style” and then i realised…. Wait a minute this is you 😂

Man, awesome work. How you get those wild colors? What film simulation setzings you use? Looks crazy good.

Ooo I got the 23mm too! I love it. I love mine, and I just keep getting more and more lenses every year for it.

Pretty sure X-Pro4 will happen. What would I change? Several things >

- Give it the new processor and improved AF of the X-H2
- Give it the 40MP sensor from the X-H2
- Give it the 5.76M dot EVF of the X-H2, along with a bit larger, higher eyepoint optical viewfinder
- Lose the X-Pro3 LCD screen and replace it with the flush flippy screen of the X100V
- Add IBIS

Done.

I don't think Fuji "nailed it" as such. It is still a 26MP crop-sensor. If it was a full-frame then I'd agree with you.

I am sorry... but, these images are stunning. Very very beautifully captured and edited.

Is only me finding colors not really natural and contrasts pumped?

I just got an x pro 3 but really can’t gel with the colours of its images. Both JPEG’s and raw the colours seem really unnatural and way to drab if toned down or way to Gareish if you try to increase the saturation or exposure. It’s a shame because using the camera is a dream and really nice. But I’m thinking to sell it and a few other things to get a Leica m10

You went to Fuji, I went to Leica Q3 from the XPro3 because they delayed a XPro4. Lost interest in the brand with their poor xsummit which delivered nothing of value. Fuji owners were wanting more and fuji under delivered.

Sorry to say this however I miss the editing quality that the restrictions of film imposes even though film has been hijacked by Leica M6 snobs. By all means shoot away digital. But please if you are shooting with a fujifilm Xpro3 and you comment about it's inherent capabilities in 2023, its all anathema. One could have taken the same photographs with any digital camera from the past 20 years.

Thanks for the video. Which film simulation did you use?

Belle foto . Sono un fotoamatore uso Fuji XH1 della X Pro 3 non mi piace lo schermo coperto , aspetto di vedere la XPro 4 👋👋.

really loving the colors! Do you have film simulations for it?

Is 23/24mm is 35mm on a Crop sensor body

What camera setting do you prefer? Manual , aperture priority? I tend to taje photos in manual, but ive recently stsrted using AP, and must say im enjoying AP😊

The 27mm f2.8 has been my favorite lens for ages and on the X-Pro 3 it’s perfection.

I really dig your post-processing and how you control the highlights and shadows, did you use Lightroom for these edits?

Th consistency of your colors is amazing, they are always so bright and vibrant!

Yes I use fuji film for street. Fuji acros 100 FILM.

I've been tempted with Fuji for years...
Have my canon full frame for night photography.
Was glad to hear you mention the Lumix GX80.. I've had mine since 2017, and paired with the Summilux 15mm 1.7 It's wonderful...

Love the inconspicuous outfit!

I love your Fuji XPRo 3 street photography. I personally use the Nikon D5500 which has the same size sensor as the Fuji XPRo 3

Has Fuji added any lenses to their lineup that match the tradition of manual rangefinder lenses? The biggest thing holding me back from trying a Fuji rangefinder is the lack of lens options from Fuji with shirt manual focus throws (instead of the infinity focus rings all new lenses seem to have). Seems odd to me to make a rangefinder to compete with Leica but no lenses that that emulate the traditional rangefinder experience. 😢

My first fuji was the X-Pro1 and the three primes that came out on launch but now I only have the X100V (I have other brands of cameras too but the X100v beats them all). It’s as near to perfect a camera could be.

Love the colors! Your images really pop

I bought an XPro-3 two years ago, along with Fuji 35 f2, f1.4, and 23mm f2 lenses. Absolutely love it. The images, portability, etc. I thought I’d upgrade to a Leica Q2 but never did, the megapixels are enough and easy to work with.

honestly, if they re-released this camera with the new battery and that was the only change they made, I would buy it and never be left wanting. The old battery is the only small complaint I have with this camera. Other than that, I simply love it.

My favorite digital camera, by far

I really liked the photo with the man on the blue bike

I’d be interested in the X-pro3 but the flip over screen makes it a non-starter for me. I’m too used to seeing an image of what I have just taken and being restricted to the EVF or flipping the LCD out every time would be a pain.

I’ve got the X-Pro3, 23mm f2 and 50mm f2. Great setup for leisure photography!!!

Use the X-Pro 2 and really like it.

If you want to experiment with different lenses, the 16mm f/2.8 is very compact and has another neat trick. With the 16mm mounted, normally giving a 24mm equivalent angle of view, and then set your camera to 1:1 square aspect ratio, the 16mm gives the same side-to-side coverage as the 23mm does when set for the normal rectangenal aspect ratio.

So you can shoot square photos with a familiar coverage but with more vertical inclusion.

Super nice pictures and video as always! Do you use the xpro with zonefocus or autofocus or both? 🤓thanks a lot!

Something drew me to shooting photos in Oxford Circus as well when I visited. Unfortunately wasn’t as sunny as it was in this video lol but as you mentioned, the flow of people is just ideal. Loved it. Great vid!

Welcome to the clan Josh! But I'll be waiting for your next video called ¨Why I upgraded from X-Pro 3 to X-Pro 2¨ :)

What film simulation are you using?

Glad it’s not a Leica video!! Go Fuji

That Gucci sign is astounding. Especially with the guy and the helmet. 👌🏼

I prefer my dull and extremely effective Sony. It's so dull that it completely disappears from my consciousness while I'm shooting, allowing me to focus my attention on what's happening on the street.

man is just an amazing camera, makes want to shoot everytime, such a pleasure to use and look. man i love mine, definetly suggest to try the 23 1.4 or 35 1.4 for street shooting

The most important aspect of photography for me is finding a style and a workflow that makes me want to keep going - the enjoyment seeing what new imagery I can create and add to my growing portfolio. I do use a ‘boring’ A7III with a totally not boring Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 but in some ways the choice of camera for me is secondary to the other points I’ve mentioned. As long as I can fit the camera into my workflow and it’s not too big and intrusive that’s what matters to me. I do like how photographers approach photography and gear differently to one another but we all have the same goal, to create great photographs.
