I know it is obvious, but you'd get far better results on these older manual lenses by using a tripod (if you can).
Thank you for the video. Keep. Up the good work. It's hard to make Vidoes with not many follower but I like the way you make your Vidoes. I'm sure if you continue and post weekly you'll reach many people ❤🎉
Chris, when I view a still photo on the camera I want ONE histogram. I can't get rid of the FOUR histograms currently shown (red, blue, green, white.) How can I get just one white histogram in play-back mode?
Hi Cris, thanks for the informative video. I have read that the FTZ adapter has no aperture coupler. How is it metering with an Ai or AIS lens? Thanks.
Honest review and I'm planning to move myself from F mount to Z mount. So the assessment is fair and impressive.
Hi Chris ! I'm unearthing this a bit! I'm mostly shooting film and want to start going digital soon as I'd to do a bit of professional work soon, mainly street/fashion lookbooks. I highly prefer small rangefinder like cameras and was interested in the xpro/xe lines. Xpro 1 is said to be too slow and maybe the resolution is not high enough for print, so I'm considering xpro2/xe3 now, do you think xe3 could do it ? Even though people might think a small camera can't do the work.... thanks for your feedback!
And sorry the auto correct messed your name Cris
Absolutely. I used the XE3 for many projects. Probably not sports of fast action tho it’s not lacking much behind, but depending on your projects I think you should give it a try. If video is not a requirement, XPro2 and XT3 are still workhorses for many.
Super helpful thank you!
(Commenting on a now 2-year old video 😊): I bought a Nikon D300 less than 6 months ago. For one : I have no money 😂. But in all seriousness, the D300 has a great reputation and still takes great photos. Looking to improve my photography skills and get a few decent lenses before considering buying a new or at least more recent body.
I have used it - its compatible with my Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 but doesnt work with Nikon 50mm f1.8, Nikon 70-210 F2.8 or Sigma 105mm F2.8 . So no you cant adapt lenses. Its frankly a total disaster.
Hi Cris, fantastic video. I plan to upgrade to Z system from D750. I have the Tamron 70-200mm G2. Could you please detail the performance of the lens when adapter.
I’ve had mine for 9 years. I’ve no plans to replace it. It’s only got 1200 shots on it. 😂
The body is magnesium.
Brilliant, Thank-you 👍 👌
It's a mixed bag. The button had a nicer tactile feel on the X-Pro1, but the ERF on the X-Pro2 makes manual focus with the OVF much more useful.
Dude , you say Jes😢us Christ in blasphemy , I’m giving you a 👎 and deleting your feed.
Im so scared, noo nooo, NOOOOOOO!!!
Just saying hello, I hope all is well.
Hello back my deae friend, all is well, hope with you and yours as well🙏🫵🏼
Saw this review and i picked up an X-M1 last week, thank you so much.
Hi. I just got an X-t10. Yes, in 2023! I got a Samurai DSLR Mc digital 52mm 0.5 wide lens with Macro lens with it. I'm trying to figure out what adapter or other accessories do you I need to attach it to my camera. Would you please help me? Thank you!
Just discovered your channel. I have an x100T and feel the pain.
Fantastic comparison and analysis. Any thoughts on combining IBIS and OIS?
Is the shutter speed on this camera great with the lens 200-500mm ?
AF-D auto focus doesn’t work with the adapter. Nikon lost me as a mirrorless customer at that point. Bought a used D810 and possibly if I need a replacement I may even trade up for Sony A7iii which is incredibly cheap compared to a Z6ii
I just got this camera and I love the size of it. I've tried a couple of recipes, but the output doesn't look so good like yours. I dug a little deeper and realized that the X-M1 has a unique oddity: it has a first generation X-Trans sensor, but a second generation image processor (EXR II processor). It seems like this camera compares to the X-Trans II with the JPGs. What's your experience? Did you have to tweak the recipes a little bit, or use the X-Trans II recipes? If so, can you share your settings for them? Thanks! 🙌😊
Could the lenses of this camera works on the fuji xt30?
thank you so much it help me a lot of . using Nikon for very long times but thinking about fuji
Im not sure about Fujis Auto focus, my friend and I shoot weddings with Fuji and the 16-55mm give us the worst results especially in backlit situations the lens seems to back focus a lot. the 50-140mm is better but the only reason we persist using Fuji apart from being cheaper compared to FF is because of the very capable & sharp primes 18mm, 33mm and the 56mm WR these are terrific, there not perfect the Auto focus still stuffs occasionally but they perform a lot better even compared with some of the Fullframe lenses i had when i was still using Canon.
I just want to ask. I have a fujifilm camera. The problem is that the glass inside the camera broke when I removed the lens. Can it be repaired?😢
I don’t ever pay for purchased apps and trying to determine if this app is worth the money to be my first pair for app. If I’m not a photographer but interested in this app, is it worth the $6.99 price? I take pictures but not a photographer by any means.I also like weather apps so with that being said can you share any advice or input if it would be worth a shot for myself? Can I benefit from it not being a photographer? Thank you!
Is that day/night complication part of the app? I can’t find it…
What I like the most of my X100T is its ability to guarantee great shots with perfect whites and colours in JPEG mode. I haven't used it often, but took it out yesterday and am really amazed once again!
It’s 2023 and currently going for $400
It’s insane. I cleaned up my old tech box and tried to sell it and was surprised about the price. Thanks for the hype 🎉
My man titled video "Camera is not important" while carrying around one of the unique cameras ever made 😭
Basically the XE3 is the little brother of the XPRO2. Smaller. Lighter. Cheaper. Same output. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Right now here are the z Dx lenses available Z dx16-50 3.5-6.3 Z dx 12-28 power zoom 3.5-5.6 Z dx 50-250 4.5-6.3 Z dx 18-140 3.5-6.3 Z dx 24 f1.7
Hello would you be able to tell me why my s5 shoots greens brown like trees in day time ? I just recently picked it up. 😅
Wanted an Xtrans 1 but was not gonna pay $500 for an xe1 so I got it. It’s pretty solid tbh. Great alongside my big boy xt-5
🎉🎉🎉thankss
It's a very important report. Thank you.
Hi bro, any recommend link to buy this L plate?
super helpful. thank you
Nice video :D I bought the ZFC a few month ago, a huge upgrade compared to my old Nikon D3100^^ If I can afford a lense with higher focal length maybe I can also start in wildlife photography. As you said, it is not the best camera for this purpose, but I think it is quite decent if you don´t want to sell the photos to National Geographics^^ Thank you and greetings from germany :D
I hope that everything is OK with you and the familia.
All good, my friend. Lots of action🫵😎. Hope you and yours as well🙏
@@CrisConstantin Glad that all is good.
This camera is magic in the way it renders Photos. Skin tone, High Dynamic Range. Portraits. I snagged one for a good price £260 looks like new its amazing only 18200 shutters :)
Does the x-s10 have better autofocus than z fc?
Pretty much the same I would say
Still subjects, what about moving? Not fast just regular walking etc?
Here in Uruguay cost 500 dollars used, 1200 XT-1 1500/1800 XT-3
If you had to choose between X-E1 and X-M1, which would you choose? XD
Xe1 for one simple reason, evf. As bad as it is, it might come in handy in sunny situations.👍
Lvoed my S5. Now an X-T5 user. A quantum leap. The S5 is still amazing.
Caution! I recently downloaded firmware for the Zfc from Nikon. When I hit the upload, the camera shut itself down and would not restart. Nikon support told me it would have to be sent to a service center. I mailed it, at my expense. After a week, I got an estimate for repair. Almost $ 300.00. This camera was just over one year old, purchased directly from Nikon and had less than 1,000 actuations. The camera worked perfectly until I tried to upload the firmware. Note - I own over two dozen Nikon cameras including four Z series and I am very familiar with the update procedure. Has anyone else had this problem?
