Love these walk around street shoots! Great content and and very inspiring. But then we’ve come to expect nothing less from you! Always fun! Maybe some day I’ll get to NYC!
Love the 27mm optical viewfinder tip! And man, those X-Trans III sensor tones are beautiful… almost as beautiful as the graphite finish
Omar, in this video you made the best street photos you ever showed us, big up!
Loving the video and the camera! Great work Omar. Looking forward to the editing video...
Best photos so far in the channel (besides your incredible professional work). It seems this camera is inspiring you!
You got me good with the " ahhhh...you like ". Cracks me up every time 🤣😂
Great images mate, the street portrait was epic !
I just received my graphite Xpro2, it is amazing. I am in love. The looks, the controls, the clicks, the photos. Thank you for this video, adding to the decision.
Love Omar street photography 😁
Keep it coming ✨👌🏼
great shots and lovely camera - now I want one....😀
I really enjoyed this. As someone who wanders around NY with an xPro3 and the 27mm. It was great seeing your shots with a similar setup.
Great video and so many epic shots, Omar. Nice! While the woman with the hair (who you posted on Instagram) is just stunning - nearly every capture in this video has been inspired and inspiring! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Great looking camera and shots. I have the XPro 3 and absolutely love it use mostly with 23 f2. Used to live in NYC shooting lots of bw film and slides, looking forward to returning later this year using Xpro3 to do some comparison photography. Keep up the graet videos
Omar! Glad you took ‘er out for a spin. Been a while since my x-pro2, but if I recall, you can switch the OVF magnification with holding the OVF/EVF switch in the opposite direction, thereby eliminating the OVF crop with the 27mm.
That’s correct. It will switch to the magnification of a 18mm.
Which is what I use with my 32mm so it'll give me extra room to frame with. I love this feature.
It's all amazing that when you swap for a 50mm lens, for example, it'll automatically magnify the OVF.
Still jelly of your new baby!!! 😂 enjoy!!! Great shots too. Love the nod to PR too.
Great Video as always! Got the X-T2 now I need the X-pro 2 :)
I know that they keep "improving" sensors, but that X-Pro2, X-T2 and X-E3 sensor might just have the perfect ratio of clinical/vintage rendering.
Omar, you owe it to yourself to just get the new 27mm R-WR. You'll wonder how you lived without the aperture ring plus it will have the same weather resistance as the body. I bought the Squarehood for mine and it is very well engineered, looking like it was built as one piece with the actual lens.
Enjoyed this video dope shots, and bad jokes my favourite combo.
I think film recipes are awesome, but would love to be able to store more and make the adding of them faster.. Imagine if we had a system, where you could make your recipes into QR codes that the camera could read, which you could share with other people online.. FUJI, ARE YOU READING THIS? lol
Anyways, great stuff as always, Omar!
I do miss my X-Pro2 sometimes. The build quality is amazing on that, compared to my X-T5 which replaced it!
i love pushing the ISO on the film sims, the grain is soooooo nice!!!! fun video thank you omar
Oh no! Now I want one too
These photos were definitely “delicious”! Can’t wait to see that video!
Finally .. found a great deal on graphite X-Pro2 kit.. it’s on the way. 27 and 33 are excited… I am also.
Very cool Omar!!!!
Thumb rest and square lens hood. :-)
Great looking images! Looks like you really enjoy taking pictures with this camera :=)
These are some of your best street photos yet!
I love the street portrait!
The odds of you not shooting that camera with spring in the air were basically nil! LOL! Ha, coffee is your friend... Thanks for taking us along!!
Omar............that is beautiful!! Im so jealous lol...seriously what a gorgeous camera...I want one!!! 😊
3:05 and 4:09 were my favs. Nicely done Omar!
What a great video love it!! 😊
Ohhh yes, I likkkke!!
Thanks for sharing.
Really fine photographs!
Omar you crack me up!! You're my entertainment as I eat my breakfast. Love the channel. And I would "LIKE" even if you did charge for presets. . . PS I have the Xpro-3 and love it except that darn compensation dial placement makes it so that half the time it gets bumped out of my setting. Wish it had a lock!
Happy to twee someone on TH-cam using the ovf. Use it with the 18mm a lot and it’s a great experience. It gets me more into the moment and focus more on photography.
Omar, I too love shooting with my Pro2 and for two years I loved shooting with the 27 mm F2.8, but then I picked up a used 18 mm F2 in perfect condition for only €250, about $300, and now I love shooting with that lens and don’t use the 27 mm very much. You’ll find the frame lines are perfect, even better than the 23 mm. It’s Fuji’s second smallest lens and many consider it a pancake, but you have an aperture ring and F2 and a wonderful focal length. When you consider that for a long time 28 mm was the focal length on iPhones up until the 14 pro series, it’s a perfect focal length. And that lens actually is very sharp and has wonderful character. Borrow one or pick up a good used copy.
This is why I shoot with an 18mm f2 on my X-Pro 2, AND have an X70! Both options are great🙏
3:05 this shot is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love your images with this camera.
That's a nice one, Omar. As usual. Thanks for sharing... And because of you, I've recently grabbed a venerable X-E2 (with the very last 4.1.1 firmware providing roughly the AF of the X-E2S)...
Very nice!
Sold my X100V for X-Pro2/27mm. So much fun.
Hey Omar, oh wisest one, the video is dripping with lurve for the graphite shooter, the man is smitten and the pics are gor ge ous! 🤣
great video thanks for sharing your X-Pro2 walk around. My main (non work) camera is the XP2 and I love shooting street, portrait and travel photography with it. Have the 35 f2 WR and 23 f1.4 WR, and always shoot RAW!!!! 😁
omar-thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. at 2:55 is an image of the Cunard Lines building. Cunard was the ocean liner firm that owned the Titantic. great building. and i'm so surprised, no images of "The Bull"? thumbs up.
XPRO2 is a very beautiful camera.
Love this camera! I owned it twice and twice sold it... fool... in my opinion it's one of the most beautiful cameras ever made and only graphite version. Most of all I love how it looks with the original graphite xf23 2.0 or classic xf35 1.4. Very cool stuff! Congratulations! 😎
Nice photos!
Maybe get one of those silicone body covers to stop any scratches? Flouro pink should keep things nice and discreet on the street ;-) Gorgeous pics, thanks for posting.
O mar god! 😉 Great photos 👍🏻😎
Thanks! 😃
You should've said "cash me outside, how bout dat!" 😂😂😂
Nice street shots!
Good choice with the X-Pro2. My X-Pro3 had an LCD failure a few days ago, a common issue which is definitely due to the flip screen. Gotta get a repair for at least 250€… But, I really love the X-Pro experience. My favourite camera for sure.
I bought an xt20 because of you that I have since sold. I have missed that sensor ever since. Now my dream camera is the xpro2 so I can get that sensor back with an optical viewfinder.
I’m thinking about switching from Sony apsc to Fuji because lack of apsc primes. I was looking at the xpro 2 and think it looks cool. Thanks for making this vid Omar. Also excited to see your editing tutorials.
Had to use my xpro2 as my other camera during a wedding last week. My XT3 was playing up and couldn't risk using it.
The X-Pro2 performed extremely well...not quite xt5 focus speed of course, but some cracking pics
Best camera ever made
Thanks for sharing the optical viewfinder with me!
Great seeing you yesterday. Also your video edits are amazing!
You are bang on, that is one sweet looking Fuji, pics were not too bad either lol.
Started looking for one right after I saw your unboxing. Found it new with the 23/2 on clearance at a shop here in Singapore. I am STRUGGLING with autofocus but having a ball with the camera.
love the xpro 2
It seems that u quite like the X-e2… And that u r a rather talented street photographer !! Great video, thkz Omar.
Way to keep pace with the hipster Fooj Euro crowd :D Love you and Samuel!
😂I love that line everytime u post a video of saying "you like' 😅 I find myself saying it with you all the time 😂😂.. Fujifilm makes beautiful colours I am just a fan all the way!
Same here.... I always say the "you like?" with him. And then still laugh out loud as if it wss a surprise 😂
3:06 ❤ that’s a really nice image.
I would love the x-pro 2 but it is still too expensive. For me anyway. Love your style and your video edits!!! Keep rockin’ our street photo world!!
Puerto Rico in da house ❤😂
I love my XPro 2, I found it for £300 in a bargain bin, its now my main Street photography camera.
OMG OMG OMG - Did it have a Leica BnW recipe on it? If it did you have my old XPRo 2
accidentally Wes Anderson LOL,,... love it!
accidentally wes anderson, lol. I love it!
When I do get to NY one day with my Xpro2 (my fav), it will be with the XF35 1.4(my fav) and XF50 f2 and yes with EC. Good video..
Love my xpro 2.
c'è ben di più che solamente ironia. Grazie Omar
Beautiful images!
Many thanks!
Always a pleasure watching your videos!
Omar, I have an XT3 and I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction. If I choose a metering mode on the dial, do I need to go into the camera and choose the same metering mode to match or does one override the other? Thanks in advance and continue the great work with the videos.
love ur quirky little jokes make me laugh
Great Video! I don't use RAW anymore. The JPGs are soo great! I just stream them to my phone and I do very little editing (Contrast, warmth, vignette) and they are ready to print or ready to send by messenger... ;-)
Surprised you love the OVF+no-screen approach with the 27mm but didn't love that form with the X-Pro3 (where the screen is sort of always off?)!
A tip that I didnt know about after years of using the X-Pro2: If you hold the lever for a second or two, that switches the viewfinder mode from electronic to optical, you can acctully zoom the optical viewfinder in or out a bit. With the "wide lens" in the viewfinder I find that an 18mm is perfectly framed in the ovf. It will also automatically switch the "viewfinder lens" when attaching a wide lens to the camera.
It can also sometimes be fun to use the wider optical viewfinder with lets say a 35mm or such, to see more of the action around the frame lines, so that you can see what is about to enter the frame. One big reason imo to stick with the X-Pro2 over the X-Pro3, since it does not have this dual lens thing in the optical viewfinder.
I grabbed mine and tried that as soon as I saw your comment. I’m shook 🤯
@@probably-nobody easter egg-status on that little feature. 😃
This is by far the best looking camera Fujifilm ever made. I am kicking myself for ever letting my Xpro1 go.
My Fuji Bro
Yeah, you do!
Nice share.
Liked this video. I likeee.
How are you adding grain in post? I agree that some of the recipes with strong grain can be a bit much.
Make sure you clean it thoroughly apply some polish and put it back in its clear climate controlled case with LED lighting when you're done! 🙃
Lol
@@ogonzilla maybe if it was a Leica you might want to do that lol
I like that color/finish version of the X-Pro2 but I still prefer the look of the all black version
as @IszakG already mentioned if you hold the lever for a few seconds in the right position it will actually change the FOV of the OVF which is pretty impressive
Shoot for sunlight? You clearly haven’t been to London recently 😂- fabulous images O 😊
Haha. True.
Colors look great….
I have lots of optical stuff I dont want to scratch,
But I never use , I need to loosen up!
Always shoot RAW+JPEG and learn to love the Film Sim Jpegs...and you will love the SOOC experience.
Omar I have a question. I’m a Nikon shooter mainly but I purchased my first Fuji being the xpro 1. Fell in love. Now I want to further step into the Fuji world and get a work horse camera for street but also for serious portrait work including flash. I want to get the xpro 2 but the xt4 feels like the move I should make. From your experience which would you rather. I’m not to heavily invested in lenses. And I feel I will get the 35 1.4 and be great with just that
What's the wrist strap you're using? It looks so lightweight
I love your video . Can you make video how color grading for your Sony zv-1
It would be a short video. Standard with shadows -3 lol. WB 5200k
Coat it in ceramic car spray wax. Problem solved.
Scratched!!!! Put a leather half-case on it and only you will know its tantalizing beauty! I love the color of that camera! That street portrait of the woman was great!
If the 27mm isn't showing frame lines, you must have it in the magnified OVF setting? I think?
One thing.. make sure precious owner didn’t put copyright info in the camera. Mine has this and I discovered from looking at EXIF data.
Omar did you get the 75mm 1.2 Viltrox? Or do you want to? 🤔👍🏻
4:43 Barcelona :)
