After using a Leica for 6 months I actually realized that I was gay. It was an incredible experience.
That’s amazing John! Just a reminder that it’s obvious no matter what your sexual preference you (johnbullock8885) definitely scare away the hoes and are 100% bitchless 😀
@@DeeRosa omg, so hot
Today’s photography tech is incredible, fast, and high quality, Still, there’s something to be said about feeling like a “Photographer”, having that control in an engaging experience. The X-Pro, X-T line, and Leica’s help a lot of people achieve that. Great meditation man 🤝
Thanks D - the X-Pro line isn’t comparable to any other camera. The ability to go from full, powerful workhorse to a quick but intentional tool is crazy.
I did a long overdue day trip this past weekend to a small Utah desert town with my X-Pro2. It really reminded me of why I love that camera. I brought along extra lenses but found myself sticking to the 35f2. I was delighted with the whole day and with the subject matter and how the photos came out. I had been fighting a bad case of GAS for a Leica M but I realize now I was just in a restless rut. I love my X-Pro. It’s really still my dream camera. Really taking it out again reminded me why.
Yo! It’s insane how much I relate to you on this. I’ve have an M11 for over a year now and I couldn’t bring myself to sell the Xpro 3. I often find myself picking it up and appreciating it so much more. IMO the Xpro 3 with manual focus lenses is the rangefinder evolved. The Xpro 3 is why I fell in love with photography.
Damn, right on the money!
I was being called an idiot on a forum when I expressed that I felt I’ve become a worse photographer as (because) cameras has gotten faster and more feature rich. It seems that the tech gets in my way.
I shoot way too fast because my camera is fast. I do not take the time to look at the scene and compose at my own pace. It’s like I’m trying to keep up with my camera.
That’s why my next lens will be a fully manual Voigtlander .
I’m quite sure I will enjoy shooting more, and who knows, it might even help me make better images in time.
I would love to see Fuji making a real range finder. If the X Pro 3 had an range finder patch I would buy it in a heartbeat.
This is REAL love for Fujifilm. Love it.
Hey man! I just sold my m10, after shooting leica M for 10 years. VLP me crazy but got a Sony a7C a few months back with the trio of small G lenses and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Doing photos I just couldn’t do with the m. I was so tired of the manual everything. I think it’s a phase every photographer should enjoy and move on ⚡️
Absolutely man! I’ve mained my x100F for 6 years now and feel the Leica itch. I drifted into manual focus, OVF and aperture priority 2 years ago and it makes the process of photography much more rewarding. It’s busted for the first time and while I think it’s repairable I now have that Leica itch. Who knows if I’ll itch it or transform it into an xpro3 itch. Btw, I’m in Houston and I’ve shot with Lee a couple times. If you’re ever down here it would be sick to meet up 👍
My version of this title:
I (sometimes) wish my Fujifilm X-Pro3 was a Leica M10
😂
When I need to take a break or have a challenge I put the Voigtländer 35mm f/1.2 on it. Lovely lens and I am happy I didnt listen to the majority of youtubers who said the Voigtländer Nokton lenses are garbage for Fujifilm. Yeah, Image is soft wide open and you get flares...so what? I stop down to f/2.8 and I'm good
im definitely in a similar boat. I have a Sony I use for the work I need to handle, but all the other stuff I use my m240 daily. I love that camera, I previously used an xpro2 with manual lenses. So that's what inspired me to buy my "dream" Leica and ive been using it ever since.... butttt I can get myself to sell the xpro2. That sensor is just too good, the film sims are just fun to use. I want to sell it to fund other lenses, I currently only have one m mount lens, but I feel like ill miss the pro 2, whenever I take it out the results are just sooooo good. lol Goodluck, on your journey, I do hope the xpro 4 is a bop.
People on FB groups complaining about fuji AF or xpro4 lust. Me with renewed love for the xt2 cause of voigtlander 35mm apo. Lol AF is slow, I wouldn't know.
To each their own but sheesh people get so mad about AF and half the time it’s user error.
Dee, agree 100%. It seems like the more constrained I am the more I enjoy the process and the results
what happened to the 262? Love my X-Pro 3 .. totally get you
Loved my xpro3. I rented an m10 and liked it at a lot but had the same feelings you are talking about. Thanks for putting words to it. Xpro4 might be the move!
I can't say I miss my Xpro3, but I do miss that rangefinder experience. Switching to Nikon ZF, I feel in love in photography again. Not sure I'll buy the Xpro4 even though its very tempting. Shooting with some Voigtlaender glass for the ZF, I might just buy a Leica.
I was actually going to get the Q3 to go along with my X-PRO3, Instead i bought the XT-5 and the new 8MM 3.5 Fuji lens. I may still get the Q3 but ONLY when they become readily available.
Preach. I’m hoping xpro4 is a real banger.

Everyone should learn range focus. It forces you to be better and there is absolutely no way out but through. All shots are your skill, 100%. Nothing else. In my mind, these are pursuits that make artists. Commercial work is a different thing, of course.
I like that you specifically point out that you don't need gear to pursue a particular mind set. My A7Rii has a Voigtlander 21/3.5 or Pentax 28/3.5 on at all times, and the screen off at all times. Range focus around NYC every day. Don't need a Leica to shoot with a specific intention!
Damn, about to leave for the airport with my GR III + GR IIIx, but now I’m asking, “Should I bring the X-Pro3 w/ the Fujicrons?” Great timing…
I've been looking for a case like that for my M11. Do you have a part number? I think the dimensions are the same.
They are not. New case for M11 is needed.
I'm with X-Pro 3 and it's just enough limitations to encourage me to shoot and be creative.
Best X-Pro for its (lack or) back screen fight me
And that’s on periodt.
I luff you for this.
My X-Pro 3 is by far the closest of any camera I have had; be it digital or film. I own Leica M4, OM-1 SLR, couple of half frames, Mamiya 645, Sony, Canon compacts, and have basically used Q2, M10, SL-2, X100F, some Canon Ds, etc. Despite the f annoying X-Pro 3 ribbon cable failing on me 2 times and fixed back, it still is the closest to a perfect camera I could ever ask. Maybe X-Pro 4 will top it off but until then, YES. M lenses adapted makes it even more fun to shoot with but Fujinon lenses are already so good!
I don't quite understand. You need a camera with the rear screen not visible to not chimp? I just turn off the rear screen of every camera I own, which puts me in the mode to never chimp. In most cases (with most cameras) all the info you need is visible in the viewfinder or the buttons and dial on the camera. I never chimp because it is distracting and, maybe, I spent too many years shooting film.
Wow bro you’re so super cool.
@@DeeRosa Yes, I know.
@@d30gaijin wow bro you’re so super cool.
I think what you meant to say is you were shooting your X-Pro3 like a Leica 😉
If I could select two features from my M10 to add to my X-Pro2, it would be the rangefinder manual focusing and the ability to produce high-quality 24x36mm images with my Leica M-mount lenses.
If I could select two features from my X-Pro2 to add to my M10, it would be the reasonable price and the twin memory card slots.
Yo what happened to your 262? I'm also an XP3 + 262 user
Needed a CLA and the turn around for that was 3-8 months - since I use my Leicas for work I couldn’t wait around 😞
@@DeeRosa damn😭
"There's nothing worse than a sharp photo of a fuzzy concept" - Ansel Adams, I think
Sorry, the outro reminded me of that behemoth of a quote 😅
Lol the random comments are freakin funny “made it to Roswell…B’s be hatin”
They are thoooooo.
Allsups serves up heart-stopping greasy-spoon fare. SE NM is my stomping grounds and I speak from experience. You speak about cameras "shaping" you... so if you visit Allsups long enough they'll shape you, too. Potato shape!
Man, get out of my brain. I’m in the process of selling my native Fuji AF glass and getting a 3rd party manual prime for my X-E3 because the lenses are too boring and uninspiring. One camera, one lens for my non-pro/poor self.
we are never happy with what we have.. i sometimes wish my m11 what an m10-p
YALL NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PASTOR RIGHT NOW!
Man, Ive always been super interested in the Xpro3 after having the X100V for almost a year now. I took tips from your video on your XH1 setup and transferred that across both my X100V and XH1 and havent looked back but, I want to start practice using range focusing. Any tips on setup for that on the X100V?
😭😭😭
@@devincutter_yo Big Dev, switch your focus mode to manual and use that digital distance scale! More or less similar. There’s no notch on X100 cams to truly simulate the range focusing experience but it’s close enough!
@@leedeleon2745 spent my whole beach weekend using this method and whoa! its so much easier to compose, have quick reaction shots and just feel ready for anything.
Limitations? On the XPro? That thing can almost make you a cappuccino. What limitation?
It actually can’t come close to making you a cappuccino. Are you sure you don’t have a new model?!
I'd wear the jeans shirt ..
if you are color blind, it's the best reason to become an artist, a photographer, or to use Fujifilm film recipes :) :) :)
Right!
Canadian tuxedo
Well-done!
Excellent
alsups chimi 👍
Just sold my x100v to get another Xpro3. Should've never sold the Xpro3.
I can make this wish come true
😂
I (always) wish my fujifilm x-pro 3 was a leica m10. 🤔😂👍
The term “Jean shirt” is the most American thing ever.
… sigh… alright.
This is like saying I wish my Jaguar E Type was an SUV!!! Makes no sense to me. Sorry.
Boo hoo.
😅@@DeeRosa
Thank you for the video. What do you wish the leica has from the xpro3?
He screen and that’s sensor.
I’m not lying. That x trans sensor is better than anything out there.
@@DeeRosa awesome! Thanks. I love my xpro3. I am thinking of getting a Leica for a retirement present. I use my voights on the xpro3. Thinking I can use them on the Leica?
I will Never sell my xpro 3. with the new iPhone the best combo
and i wish my R5 doesn't go nuclear when switching to video
