    I picked up this Fuji XA2 for $120 and am super stoked on the results! It may be a great budget option for you to dive into the Fuji X series of cameras.

    Hello
    I purchased this little one a few years back. Used it as my daily. Purchased the XF 27mm F/2.8 and dropped it... Aghhh!! I purchased the TTartisan AF 27mm F2.8 Compliments the camera very well. I highly recommend both camera and lens (TTartisan).

    I’ve never had a Fuji, but wanting to get one-but question. The presets I know are for LR post process; the ones you sell on your etsy are they for in camera settings or for editing afterwards?

    • @alexbolen
      @alexbolen  หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are for using in Lightroom afterwards. In the video the black and white photos were using an in-camera preset that comes with the camera. Fuji's have wonderful in-camera color! You do not need to buy presets to get amazing results, but I like to use the ones I created as they give me a little more customization for what I like.

    Hey!
    What settings did you use to get those vintage type of colours that you have on your video?
    Im very curious as I got myself one of these bad boys and I've no idea how to replicate that

    • @alexbolen
      @alexbolen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use Lightroom to edit my photos and applied my Kodak Gold preset to these photos. If you use Lightroom then you can download my preset from the link in the description. If you don’t use Lightroom I would recommend checking out FujiXWeekly’s “recipes” for X series. The only problem is this camera doesn’t have as many options as other X series cameras. You can still get some great looks directly out of this camera by following those recipes as best as you can. Cheers!

      If you want 4k video and 24mp then go with the X-A5, otherwise if you're okay with 16mp and 1080p then save some money and get an X-A2 :)
