Oh yeah I forgot to mention. I’ve shot over 100,000 shots on my xpro2 previously. That’s a big factor. I feel like people think I just randomly picked this up and made an opinion on it (to which I even clearly stated, that “I don’t want to make a conclusion on the camera yet”.)
Great video, mate. While i still use my d800e n nifty fifty for street.
I just came back to this video because I'm thinking about getting the X-Pro 3 instead of the Q2. There are some lenses for the X mount system that have a distance scale (like the XF16mm 1.4 fujifilm-x.com/global/products/lenses/xf16mmf14-r-wr/ ) and you can actually adapt M mount lenses like Faizal Wescott did with the XE-4. Because otherwise I'd fully agree: I did buy an X100V last year because I want to do more zone focusing and sent it back because no distance scale makes manual focusing quite a bit less viable and fun.
Great video though, many great shots you nailed with one battery charge :)
I hope this video gets blessed by the TH-cam fujifilm gods
Haha. I don't know about the fujifilm gods, but I bless it. Would have loved to see a film simulation section on the video. Shooting on Provia and then tweaking Raws is of course fine, but doing it exclusively doesn't capture a very important part of this brand's experience. Maybe in a future one?
About your usage question, usually I do use these cameras in autofocus as well, but tend to fix my iso and aperture, and only vary shutter speed to control exposure. Manual exposure, I guess. On my old dslr I usually always do Aperture priority mode.
Thanks for the videos.
Lol! Sending some good juju your way 😂
Blessed!
It did, it came up in the recommended videos on the home screen!
You have compulsive use of facial mask continuously touching it which destroy the purpose of having a mask , just remove and talk , you are outside on open air , no virus is gonna come to you if you are far from people.
I absolutely love my X Pro3 and say that as a Leica film shooter. The screen at first annoyed the living daylights out of me having gotten used to them on other Fujifilm cameras, but with it tucked away yet easy to access, it helps smooth workflow immensely. Think of it as a highway with no traffic on it vs rush hour. I was glad to hear you also got more than expected photos. With the X-T2, I get
I love the XPRO3, recently picked on up and have been enjoying it. I really think it makes you work and think alot more for you shots. Glad you enjoyed it.
Another solid vid , nicely done . I shoot with an X-Pro3 and really enjoy it , it's esp fun to shoot with vintage manual focus lenses . I use an assortment of old Nikkor & Zukio glass.
I bought an xpro3 two weeks ago and I'm loving it!
Loved this video. Enjoyed the shots too and more importantly, agree with the sentiment of showing some valuable images that help people make a decision. Keep it up dude! The Fuji gods are watching 🤣
you're one of them!
Gajan made a good point. I like his channel, and he's definitely not one of the TH-camrs lost "living inside himself" that I mentioned in my other comment. He keeps it fresh and real.
Love how you work with layers. The white and negative space really enhances the red line you create through Z, into the picture.
Thanks for checking out the photographs! Means the most to me
@@UlyssesAokiPhoto Thank you for making inspirational videos. They make me want to take up my camera.
Hahahaha love the music that you've used, great video, greetings from Spain.
Thank you for your views on the X-Pro3. I really agree with you on most points. Lovely street photography too for us to appreciate.
You definitely got some bangers, Ulysses! I hope you make your goal of 10k subs soon. You deserve it. I've been inspired by your photography.
Cheers
OMG!!! I'm literally stopping at 16:34 because these are all of the things I've been thinking about the Pro 3 but no one else on TH-cam is talking about them. I'm in love with the rangefinder form factor as much as every other fanboy but I still have to question the qualities of the OVF when it comes to manual focusing with Fujinon lenses or vintage lenses. The fact that one has to rely on the tiny EVF in the corner to check focus is just not practical in real life applications. Also, even though the EVF is OLED I didn't find it to be much better than the EVF on my XT2. Thank you so much for your honest impressions. Best XPro3 review on TH-cam!! :) #subscribed
I really enjoyed the insight you had on the Fuji cameras. I have a fuji xt30 that I take as my digital camera for travel and family. Small and can use vintage lenses. I had looked at the Fuji x100v and x pro 3 but I chose the xt30 as it is my entry into the Fuji eco system. Great camera but I agree that the manual focusing is a joke. Once the fix that I will definitely be happy. I really dislike the focus by wire. And I enjoy shooting manually as I am a film shooter as well. But I will say I do enjoy the ease of use on Fuji cameras and the nostalgic feeling like everyone else. And they look good too :) keep up the good work! Love your stuff!
Just discovered your channel - loved the vid on zone focus. Also the choice of music here was so fresh!
Great video. I have the xt3, xt30 and XPro 3. I love the XPro 3, the OVF and the hidden lcd are perfect for me and have changed how I shoot.
Great video and photos. Keep them coming! Cheers! : )
Completely agree with you on the manual focusing of Fuji cameras. It’s really the only thing I want them to “fix”. I wouldn’t need a Leica if they did lol. Enjoying the videos as usual, good luck with 10k!
Well, there's also hybrid ERF that can be enabled when you're in OVF mode with AF-S or MF. This can give you a split focus function similar to a rangefinder. It's been there since the X-Pro2. Good enough demo: th-cam.com/video/ziMH8u0oQdM/w-d-xo.html
@@MrChomiq i personally use this method while adapting M lenses but I really find the hybrid screen distracting and introsive since it "pops" so much more than the OVF itself and gets in the way of your actual framelines.
Use a manual lens. Massive choice available.
I agree with you Ivan, but Fuji would never give up their focus system for a small group of enthusiasts like us because they are aiming for the mass crowd that loves stats and electronic features. That's why Leica M's will always have its own niche market and value.
@@ScowlerJase Fuji still need to add better focus aids within the OVF
You highlighted the character of the camera correctly and quickly got to character shots. Love to see more ...subscribed!
Hey, new to the channel. Nice overview of the Xpro 3 from a practical perspective! You'll hit that 10K in no time 😁👍
Great video Ulysses. Regarding the manual focus, this is what still makes Leica a clear winner to me as well, for the kind of photography I do. Manual focus to me is faster than autofocus for street photography, assuming that one works with the hyperfocal.
I thought though that the fujinon 23mm f/1.4 was a true manual focus lens with distance scale and would be worth trying... never had the opportunity to give it a try yet. What remains then is the fuji viewfinder not being a rangefinder...
Looking forward to your next video, take care!
Soothing video, nice shots!
Man those shots are stunning! 🙌🏾
Nice! I liked the photos at 6:25 and 7:45. I shoot my X-Pro2 in autofocus, and I switch between looking through the EVF and at the screen. I shoot my Q2 in manual focus while looking through the EVF. I love the focus tab that the Q has and I feel like the Q was made to shoot in manual focus.
Interesting. I shoot the xpro2 manual focus and find it a little cumbersome.
i love how lowkey this video is
Craaaazy timing for release of this. 😇 You'll find out why later, but I really agree with all your points. And we discussed this all before, so it's fun to hear you turn it into a video now. SO.. I will be making another video about the XPro 3 in the near future also because I have solved some of the issues we discussed with that camera. Keep it up!
hey Alex! looking forward to the vid man
I only use zone focusing on my Fuji’s. All I do is use the scale on viewfinder/LCD and an elastic to fix focus ring.
Didn't know you had a youtube channel! Glad I stopped by :)
Loving the music on this one! Some lenses have a focusing scale: the 16mm f1.4 and the 23mm f1.4 have then. I miss it too on the other lenses
Great video
Look, it's Manny!
Hey Manny!! Wow thanks for dropping by man I've been watching your vids for... quite a while.
Well the Fuji God has spoken
Great video 👍 going to get the Fujifilm xs10 to rent soon on Fujifilm plaza Tokyo
Thankyou for reminding me why i didnt choose the leica q due to the evf lag. Good review! You should do more reviews from your perspective
Would love to see your thoughts on the GFX cameras!
+1 on this
I rented the GFX 50R for a week with the 50 f3.5....... wow, it was wonderful. General focusing was good, centre point was fast and it was quick to use for documentary work. The files are to die for.
+2!
I tried the gfx 50R in one of Fujifilm events on Tokyo last month's only 4 hours but boy oh boy the quality of the photos is just super and wasn't heavy at all at least for me
I had only a 45-100 lens. The JPEGs are amazing oh and the raw files are 100 megabytes lol crazy
I took my new XPro 3 out Monday for its first use with a 35f2 lens. The camera seems far less threatening to people compared with my DSLR. The OVF is fun to use and works well with the ability to see outside the frame.
The battery lasted around 150 shots only, all through use of the OVF and some EVF, but no LCD at all. Hopefully the capacity improves with use! Focus is very good in daylight. It did miss a few basic exposures that my Nikon D7000 would not have, either under or overexposing faces between shots by about a stop. Much to learn I have!
Perhaps it's muscle memory but I am able to operate my DSLR settings way faster than those of the XPro. That's probably my biggest gripe with the XPro - operation requires too much visual confirmation of buttons versus 100% feel without removing my eye from the viewfinder. For example there is no tactile distinction of the Q button from the grip, so I have to take my eye away from the viewfinder to see where the tiny, flush button is... it's somewhere under my thumb knuckle, but not quite... sure. Then the EVF has to wake up again when I reapply my eye to the viewfinder. Same goes for the fn button above it. Some smarter micro design could permit old school looks but better controls feel in the next model.
Finally, the USB access door is flimsy and lets down the overall quality impression of the camera, IMO. Plastic is fine, it just needs a hinge. Film simulations are nice to have, though I have those in my Nikon anyway, and they're 100% user definable in the Nikon.
As a next iteration I'd like to have a larger battery, more distinction in those fn buttons and perhaps IBIS as some icing on the cake. Mind you I'll probably replace my DSLR with a Z 6II and keep the XPro3 as a niche camera. The XPro3 is quite a joy to use.
bro your hands down my fav youtuber to watch. I can tell how important authenticity is and I appreciate it. Would love to see you run train on the fuji film cameras, maybe like a comparison video between medium format and apsc. Any ways hope you have a good day bro keep slaying the dragon!
Flattered by your positive comment Kevin, you have a good day too!
I think you nailed it with the Contax G2 comparison. It feels like the natural digital successor and matches the crisp, quick style I loved the G2 for. Just with the G2 (the "poor man's Leica") it's a totally different camera and sits in a class of it's own with different aims and audience.
I think the same principle applies to the HVF. People tend to overlook the functionality of having both OVF and EVF. While the OVF doesn't function like a traditional rangefinder it still retains the visual benefits (natural uninhibited view, extended framing outside the focal length) while also giving a substantial boost to battery life. Plus an EVF if/when you need it.
I love being able to shoot all day with the OVF like I've got my G2 with unlimited rolls, then switch to EVF at night with -6EV AF coupled with a manual exp comp dial for quick 'TTL' adjustment. Feels hyper versatile, despite its niche reputation.
really enjoyed this video. keep up the good work and you will get 10k sub in no time.
Love your channel and i subscribed hope to do some street photography in Japan one day!!!😍 I think Fujifilm built this camera as a pure photographers camera that s why they designed the LCD screen. I wanted a X pro 2 but with my budget a X pro 1 first!!!
You were trying to reach 10k subs? You're past that! Congrats! New sub from last week btw
I would LOVE you trying out the GFX! Great video as usual my man!
Hey I love your videos keep pushing them out..
I'm thinking about which film simulation you used in the video, they look great!
Absolutely love my xpro3, paired with the 23f1.4 it's wonderful, I mostly shoot through the viewfinder either evf or ovf and depending on where I am I will set shutter speed manually but often find that aperture priority does a great job for most things. Would love to see you shoot with the gfx 50r in "xpan mode"
There's an xpan mode??? that sounds WILD
@@UlyssesAokiPhoto they don't call it xpan mode but it's the same crop factor and because it's a medium format sensor it's not cropped to hell. would be really cool to see you play around with it.
Before Panasonic went to m4/3 it made one 4/3 range finder style camera called the L1 and it had very much the same controls and style as that one. Fun camera I kept until last year until I sold for a trade in since I had not used it in years. It was the industries very first live view camera.
The Fuji lineup continues to fascinate me and maybe one day I will get the 100v even though it doesn’t have IBIS. Anyways the camera in hand I could not use with the fold screen keeping that way all time around my neck it would be truly annoying.
I admire that you carry around a real camera and mic for filming while shooting streets ✌️ borrow all the Fuji’s, get those views 😉
Great video! Enjoy the video and the photos! Yes would like to see Medium format
Wow those are some beautiful photos and that’s one good looking photographer
Ooh lala
Yep, GFX please. Love the vid. Keep sharing.
I love your shots and videos, i am debating if I should upgrade my Xpro2 to Xpro3.
I have a toddler and fast autofocus and tracking is pretty important to me.
How is overall shooting experience compared to Xpro2? I really like that folding lcd idea.
You dont suck. If a review doesnt have the taking photos part, its as informative as a specs list, so thank you.
Very lovely video! Support and hope to see more videos soon!!!
Nice overview and impressions, for sure. Second the emotion on your thoughts on the GFX. Plus, if they're free to rent! :)
Great video. Like the honest approach and style of the video. 7.43 nice shot!
What auto focus/metering mode did you use with the 35mm F1.4? Continuous or Single point?
More fuji videos like this please.
Good video, good vibe. One note: the size of the sensor and that it’s cropped has nothing to do with Fuji’s having issues to determine precise focus distances. Just look at the GR series, their snap focus and focus distance is really precise.
It is an issue with the focus by wire, and yes they suck at MF (not like the wonderful Q).
Great video!
Hi there... quite enjoyed this... music is great... your voice very clear... pics are nice.... comments are fair thanks
Ulysses, great review!
Question for you, hoping you’ll answer!
I’m a longtime fuji shooter who uses an XT3 and X100V for my pro portrait work. I’m looking to add a third body, and can’t decide between the XT4 or the XPRO 3. Any thoughts on that?
The 23mm 1.4 and 16mm 1.4 do have a distance scale that you can use but you are right, the focus by wire is not very convenient for manual focusing.
Ulysses, have you ever thought of making a video showing your editing process? It would be super interesting content to watch
honestly don't do much, but if that's the answer people want I'm down to making that vid 😁
@@UlyssesAokiPhoto me and I bet most of the channel’s subscribers would love it
Really liked the video, kind of exactly what I was looking for, which was a big help, thanks!
Btw, what glasses are those? anyone please let me know 😂
Hi! I'm considering this and the Leica M... What would you recommend? 😁 Cheers!
Hi Ulysses.. I've just watch your video because I just bought an x-pro3 today. In it you said you've never been to France... if you have the chance go there it's a beautiful country.. ( I'm French by the way. My name is Jean.. but I always put it backward for privacy.. sorry I'm old school. Naej). Great video as usual. Can wait to get back to Japan... At the moment it's not too bad with Covid in Australia.. fingers crossed. Take care.
You don't suck, you're awesome dude good video
Love the reality break at 15:40 😂
I tried to hype things up this video but I couldn't help myself by the end lol
Love to see your videography skills making progress!!
Also, what's with the music in Spanish? Really nice and chill. I wasn't expecting to listen this kind of music here lmao.
Hey thank you!!! I'm really working on it now. The bosa nova and Spanish classical guitar music was something I found from Artlist (sound library that I use)! I love classical guitar so it was a good find.
Definitely would want a gfx video from you.
The new processor in the latest of fuji cameras is speedy enough for me to not care about manual focus. But I agree it would be a nice adjustment to have. Looking forward to you trying the GFX camera!
Yo man thanks as always! Agreed with you. Stoked on trying the gfx soon
Thanks for the Great Video! Very nice and Lots of effort.
The camera however is relatively huge!
Its as big as a fullframe leica rangefinder and especially with that lens its even bigger than a leica with a summicron, summarit, zeiss or voigtlander. So I think id take my Leica, the x100v or the xt30. In my opinion if it is not fullframe, it should have the advantage of being smaller. Anyway great video! 😊anyway.... what do you guys mean by ease of use? Fujifilms have like hundreds of menu options and hundreds of sub menu options.... for a Leica user that is insane 😅
Enjoyed the video. I’m in the fence about upgrading to this camera from my X-E3 which is a nice little camera. I do shoot manually 100% of the time.
Also, the images look nice. I was happy to hear your thoughts in the AF with that lens - heard the same rumors.
Do it. I had an xe-3 and went to an xpro-2 - it makes the xe-3 feel like a toy. Bigger, heavier, but you’ll appreciate it.
@@ScowlerJase Thank you for the feedback. Now it comes between going xpro2 and pro3
Tartarian architecture is a thing the buildings are beautifully built 👍
So, I have been in this dilemma for months: to get a (used) leica Q2 or an X-pro3. I'm doing exclusively street photography, and my style is almost always that I see a scene with potential I immediately raise the camera, "compose" instinctively through the EVF and shoot. No working of the scene (most of the time), because I mostly shoot people from relatively close to them, so I do need a camera with no (or really minimal) lag before the EVF turns on. You have used both, Q and x-pro3. Which one, then, for quick point-and-shoot candid photography?
the photos are like my old film camera (Bronica) I used to cart around for its excellent “film” photos
I'm hoping to try the X-Pro3 with M lenses. I started with (and loved) Voigtlaender on a NEX without any EVF, but never used manual focus on the X-Pro1 because the XF lenses just aren't fun to use that way. The X System was so much better in every other way, and had nice lenses of its own so it didn't bother me at all. It will be a while before I get one, so I'd encourage you to report your experiences on the X-Pro3 with M lenses.
I've used it before, but preferred using fuji glass
Great video!
So why can't a "pro" camera give options for the LCD screen. Different photographers have different needs. I would prefer a standard flip out screen; like on x100v.
Yo! Thanks for talking about distance scale on aps-c. I had wondered if the crop would affect the scale? I asked Big Head Taco on one of his Insta lives, but I think he didn’t understand what I meant.
I believe Fuji cameras have an on-screen focus scale which makes it possible to zone focus
Had my x-t3 for a couple months. My major Gripe is that the Fuji Raw files are a little strange commimg from Sony. They seem to have less latitude for editing. The colors SOOC are great but if your tastes are like mine which I consider "unnatural" they can end up looking cheesier when pushed in any certain direction.
Me encanta la música que escogiste para el video.
Was this shot on provia or astia? Or maybe another custom simulation? They look fantastic and I wanted to know because I'm a new fuji user. Thanks!
Hi Ulysses. Do you think xpro 3 is comparable with Leica q? Thanks
I switch back and forth with AP Mode and manual .Manual when B&W and AP with color
X-Pro3 with manual M lenses (Voigtlander for me) are an amazing combination.
Do you find yourself using the OVF much? How does it pair with manual focus?
@@samrobinson8258 on the X-Pro3 I opt for the EVF. It simply works better for me - especially when focusing. I find their OVF a little clumsy I guess at times. It’s also nice because it “just works” regardless of the lens.
@@zobkiw That makes the most sense, I'm trying to justify and X-pro3 with manual lenses but it's hard as the ovf is the main selling point to me
@@samrobinson8258 The best OVF is the Leica - I know that’s in another price bracket, but even so, the X-Pro3 using EVF is so great due to the controls on the camera - it feels really nice and gets you in the Leica ballpark with regard to inspiration and feel. If you can return it, give it a go. I really enjoy mine.
@@zobkiw Thanks for your advice, I may well pull the trigger!
Wow, some kickass spanish song, nice.
Been debating with myself whether or not to get an XPro3 for months now. Not sure if I should make the investment, having already an XT3, financially it makes more sense to get something smaller like an X100V for that matter, or an XE3/4 (when they finally release it) as an ILC to take advantage of the lenses I already have.
nice photos！
If you can only get two lens for X-pro body. Which lens will you pick ?
It’s a great camera .
nice！i just got the x pro3 📷！
Song name at 4:00?! It’s so addicting!
It’s always nice to learn new tips and tricks from you :)
how is the handling with glasses and the EVF?
nice review and first impression and at the end like a stalker but nice photos ;-)
Some of the Fuji lenses have distance scales, but they're a bit limited. The 23mm f/1.4, for example, has it, but markings are not not very useful:
0.28 meters
0.5 meters
1 meter
5 meters
1 foot
2.5 feet
8 feet
I'm hoping the new 18mm f/1.4 will have the same manual focus clutch... but based on the mockups they showed recently, it probably won't have it.
Fuji does a good on-screen scale, but the problem with that is that you have to look at the screen! Which kind of defeats the purpose of a camera with aperture, shutter and ISO dials. Even the Ricoh GR bests it here, because on the GR you can get to a point where you can adjust snap focus distances by feel, if you configure it right, and with enough practice.
I think Fuji can just do a separate control ring instead. Like Leica did with the Leica X and the X-Vario. And even the Q/Q2 is actually focus by wire, so, it is possible to make good focus by wire. Some of the recent Sony lenses also have pretty decent focus by wire response. But of course, hell would have to freeze over before Sony will come out with an AF lens with a distance scale.
control ring sounds like a solution! great points here
Like and subscribed!
I must’ve missed something because I watch Fujifilm on the X-Pro3. I have never heard them say it was a rangefinder camera they have said it was style like a rangefinder camel.
for the cost of the body and lens shouldnt i just save up and buy a leica Q?
GFX 50r with 50mm 'pancake'
YES PLEASE!
Make it happen Ulysses...
sounds good!
Fujis new cameras does improve auto focus on their older lenses drastically. To the point it's like having a new lens. The 35 1.4 on the Xpro 1 is garbage. It was reselling for 2-300$ cad before the xt-3 came out. Once the xt-3 released the resale went up to 500-600$ cad.
Ps: great vid again
Are the files on the XT3 any different to Xpro3? I figured that if they have the exact same sensor the files should be identical. However, I heard another well known TH-camr mention that the files from XT3 were awful.
Why Fuji did not update the FW as they did for the XT3?
15:40 gahahaha
Your choice of music is dope
glad to know! I always love choosing my music for the vids. Best part!
Hey Aoki, love your photographs! great youtube videos as well. One thing that got to me from watching your videos on youtube is that you really downplay your youtube channel. You make it sound like i shouldn't be watching this video 15:38 and also in the video for the one you won an award. What I'm trying to get to is that (opinion) is that non of your content is stupid. You put time, thought and energy into each video which has translated to 11.2k subscribers me included now. We're all subscribed because we like your youtube channel and we're looking forward to watch this channel grow! Looking forward to see more of your content in the future :)
Thanks for the insight... I guess I'm still quite embarrassed about being in front of the camera and doing TH-cam, and I'm still not too confident about my content.
But you're right, I do put a lot of time in creating these videos, and I try to be very thorough. I thank you for the positive message, and I'll try to get better over time :)
