Instead of an old X70 or Ricoh GR, get this! (Fuji X-M1 and 18mm 6.3 lens for small lo-fi cheap fun)

- More fun with the smallest Fujifilm X-Trans interchangeable lens body - the X-M1. This time with the 7Artisans 18mm f6.3 lens. I've already covered this lens, but this is really where it shines. The X-M1 is near the same height and only a little wider than the Fujifilm X70 compact camera from a few years back. A camera with an 18.5mm lens on an APS-C X-Trans II Sensor. Those can still go for a good price these days. So what if you wanted a Fujifilm camera with that focal length (shared with the likes of the Ricoh GR series)? And pocketable? Well, one way to do it is with the old X-M1 body - an entry level body with an X-Trans I sensor, same as the X-Pro1 and X-E1. But much cheaper and smaller! And if you put the 7artisans 18mm f6.3 'UFO' lens on it - you effectively have a simple point and shoot camera for every day carry where a larger camera might not venture.
Now, this lens is simple - pan focus (everything is effectively in focus), fixed aperture. It's not much thicker than a Fujifilm body cap. You can easily slip this into most pockets. And it's more fun in most cases than a phone. The pictures have their own unique quality to them. They're not bad at all! Just a bit different sometimes. But this is a great lens to have when out and about in daylight.
And then unlike an X70 or other compact camera, you are not stuck with this lens. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Love this video in 2024. Just subscribed
Same here. X-M1 with TTArtisans 27mm.
Was contemplating getting one of these for my xe2 , will get one thanks to your review... Cheers.. Paul.
That was a very interesting video presentation. I am going to do more research on that camera now. 😊
Good choice. And, good pboto also!
I like it. Looks like film.
Great video!
Interesting review of the title XM1.. I have been rooting about looking for a small form factor always in your pocket camera and as a long time Fuji X user - I always regretted selling my Xpro and XT1 camera bodies -- and the XT1 in particular.. I did consider the XM1 and I was recently offered a very clean XT-1 body at the right money and I am very tempted to buy it .. I have the Fuji 27 pancake which is a cracking little lens and I note the XM1 is getting pricy .. I now shoot with XH-1 and I bought that camera body specifically to shoot with vintage lenses - the IBIS works its magic - greetings from Ireland
I find myself constantly tempted by the X-T1 myself, despite my preference for the rangefinder style bodies. The X-T1 is still so compact! And for a while it was crazy cheap though it seems prices (at least on sites like MPB) have ticked up again recently. I also find myself interested in the X-H1 and I really really love my other X-Trans III cameras and am drawn to the X-H1 for its looks (it feels more like an old-school medium format SLR with that big viewfinder faux-prism) and wanting that big body and IBIS for doing landscape/outdoor photography with big heavy zoom lenses that don't feel quite as at home on an X-Pro. But yes! It seems like all used Fuji camera prices have gone a bit crazy lately! Especially the rangefinder style bodies and it's kind of weird seeing that hit even the X-M1.
Well done.
Hi! I just got my Fuji X M-1 last Sept. 1 2022. , as a gift for myself. Very good camera. a semi pro camera, that can be used for a point and shoot too. Liking the camera, coming from a full frame Nikon system. Small, light, easy to use, & also affordable. Thinking of getting your recommended lens, 7 Artisans 18mm. Thanks for your sharing experience.
X70 prices are sky high - so this is an excellent alternative
Enjoyed your review and I think I'll end up with an x M1. There's now a mark 2 version of the 7 artisans 18 mm out , so maybe I'll also get one . Thanks for the review.
dude... they're like $350-$450 dollars now. That's absurd for what this camera is and it's age. You can get an X-T1 for that price. (the silver ones are a little cheaper I noticed).
what film color sim you use in this video, astia? it looks really filmic
I use “expired eterna” recipe for X-Trans III cameras from the Fuji X Weekly. Provides a pseudo-eterna flat tone with a hint of purple for a mild “expired film” look
Hey Thankyou! I am totally getting this setup asap. Im an x pro 1 user with 7 artisans lenses but I wanted a smaller lomography inspired point and shoot for everyday. This is perfect and so affordable!! Do you have an Instagram for your photography?
Thank you! I did take this setup along on a recent trip and the images I got from it were very very once again very reminiscent of photos from my LC-A some 20 years back. I'm on Instagram as 'aodl' - instagram.com/aodl
1:50 LOL... not anymore. The silver ones (which for whatever reason are cheaper) in decent to good shape bottom out at the $250 area. The black ones are $350-$450 dollars which is absurd. You can get a used X-T1 for that. A far better camera with quicker focus, newer sensor, elec. viewfinder, etc etc. People be acting loco out there on ebay.
It's wild that these irrational prices have gotten to the X-M1. In some ways, I get it :it's got the sleek minimalist styles of the X-E4 (which itself is madly overpriced these days). But in other ways: the X-M1 missing so much of what I think of as the Fuji X charm! Its mode of operation (beyond just the PASM dial) is so different from my other Fujis.
