Tony & Chelsea Northrup review the Fujifilm X100V, the Fuji X-Pro3 and the Leica M10-D to find the camera that brings the best of both worlds: the analog film experience of shooting and the digital experience of not changing or processing film. They also use analog/all-manual lenses from TTArtisan and 7 Artisans, which you can buy new or used at KEH.
Hi Tony,
I know you guys are usually fairly careful in evaluating equipment and your general comments here on the joys of rangefinder photography were very telling. I particularly enjoyed your show on megapixels and the size of prints you make from them. Fantastic work.
Here, you unfortunately made a fairly significant error in your comparison of the two 35mm F1.4 rangefinder lenses. Your Leica 35mm F1.4 Asph lens is an older version (
Thanks, Steve! That's a good point and I'll pin your comment.
Stephen, can you be more specific about why the Leica lenses, both the new ASPH and the "Leica originals" are superior? Because when it was time for me to find M-mount glass, I wasn't able to find evidence that this is true. I haven't shot the Artisan-series lenses, but other than size, weight, and reliability, I wasn't able to find any comparisons that definitively put the Leica lens performance above other lenses like Zeiss and Voigtlander in M-mount. I'm really interested to see some comparisons that you could suggest. Thanks
@@zfisher Not stephen but I've been using Leica glasses for basically since I've started photography. In order to save cost, I went with cheaper voigtlander and dji optic lenses (ttartisan & 7artisan). I've found out that the sharpness difference between the pre-fle version and ttartisan is pretty much comparable (people who buy the older 35 wants the "character"). However, The new FLE blows both lenses out of the water. The new 35 FLE gives much more contrast and detail with much less fringing than both the older leica and the artisan. It deals with flares much better. Sharpness close up is also pin-point unlike the older asph. Since you talk about zeiss, I also own the zeiss distagon 35mm 1.4 zm, and that lens performs pretty much the same as the Leica FLE, however with a bit more fringing (but overall performance is both impressive) BUT the lens is huge.
However, the lens that I can give a lot of props to are the newer voigtlander APO-Lanthar series. I do not personally own the lens but from other people using and testing, it is sure to beat the much more expensive $8000 APO Summicron lenses in value with much better performance than both the 35 FLE and 35 distagon ZM.
I hope this is helpful, cheers!
@@tt__shin thanks for your comment, that's extremely helpful, and sounds more in line with what my research had found, that even the FLE compares pretty well to zeiss. I know that Steven didn't discuss zeiss in his original comment but he gave me the impression that the FLE so epic as to be better even than non-M-mount glass, which I also don't think is true.
Thanks
Wow, Steve, maybe you should work forLeica AG! Your commission would be substantial! Arguing like £3000, £6000 or £8000 is worth that extra investment against a ~£150 lens? Based on discrepancies of incremental design changes? That's brave, man. But unfortunately the fact finding still amounts to the same point that T&C make here. Honestly this sharpness row feel toxic. It's so Ken Rockwell circa 2010.
Outside of the US we’re not used to constant adverts every 2 minutes on our TV’s so this feels like one giant advertisement for KEH. How many times can you plug them in such a short video?!
I was thinking the same thing
This is true… I’m German and the constant marketing and brainwashing is killing me.
Seriously. Please chill out on that.
I understand what Tony is after. For years I couldn't believe people were still shooting film, but in 2021 I decided to try it for myself and got a non-Leica rangefinder and some lenses. It's hard to describe, but there's something about having to imagine the composition while you're making the photo without the instant feedback, and checking all your settings manually, that changes the shooting experience.
It can only work if the process is more important than a result. But I agree - there is nothing like having to check all settings manually and missing the only shot that was really worth taking on a day. )))
To even clarify that the x100V takes better photos than an iphone is a disservice to how good the x100V is
The i can't believe its not an i phone camera
Yea the comparison is an insult
Yea, can't believe she compared it to a phone
I could watch an hour long video of you guys walking around taking pictures, Thank you Tony & Chelsea for all you've done over the years.
Why? They are complete tools, don’ know how to take good images, don’t know nothing about art of photography, and all they do is show off.
Tony, your closing lines perfectly verbalized how I feel about my craft right now. Thank you both for this video.
Just got an X100V, can't wait to get out there and use it.
I recently got back into film photography and shelled out a few bucks to get a Canon F1 with a few prime lenses. I wanted to have something that was fully manual and analogue and this setup has definitely given me that. I felt the need to get more connected to the process of taking pictures like I did 20 years ago when was studying photography for the first time. I absolutely empathise with your desire to get back to that experience, and, even though, I still love and appreciate my current digital setup, there is something special about clicking that shutter and waiting for the result that will come out of the lab / chemical process, rather than being able to see it immediately as one does with most digital cameras.
Tony just said Chelsea was wrong and he was right. He DOES like to live dangerously.
For me, my xt-4, with the rear screen flipped closed and my primes set for manual focus brings me back to shooting like it was 40 years ago. The xt-4 is actually just a bit bigger than my Pentax was but it’s close.
I'm the owner of an X100T and X-Pro2, and I love them both. I understand the competitive nature of this video is just for fun, but one will not go wrong with either camera.
There is something truly liberating about a fixed-lens camera, which removes so many decisions from the process of going out to take pictures, and with my X-Pro2, I have a bag containing the 23mm, 35mm and 50mm "Fujicrons", which covers most of my needs for the day. Sometimes I'll also bring my 90mm f/2, if I need more reach, or I'm specifically doing portraiture, and it is great that they ALL fit into a small ThinkTank bag.
I don't have any of the TT Artisans lenses, but I LOVE using adapted vintage lenses on my X-Pro2, and that is another way of getting lenses of unique character for not a lot of money. My favorite remains my Helios 44, which is the early 13 blade version, because of the unique swirly bokeh, and the dreamy, soft quality wide open, and also the sharp, saturated and contrasty images I get when stopped down. If you can't find one of those, look for the Helios 44m, which is also excellent, though a little stiffer and harder to focus.
Love the X100V. Can’t wait to get one. As far as KEH, I’m not really digging them right now. Depending on how they do with fixing a problem in the next few days will determine if I ever purchase gear from the again.
I love my x100v.. feels like my "me" camera... and I get to leave all my Sony gear at home..
"The Fujifilm x100V takes better pictures then my iPhone"🤦🏽♂️ Well DuHh
Immediately after Tony mentioned chimping at around 9 minutes, CZcams fed me a MailChimp ad. These platforms are getting too creepy…
It's been over a decade since I haven't used an ad blocker. I'm missing out on so much, but glad others can live it up.
There's also the fact that the company you just mentioned is absolutely plastering youtube and the rest of the internet with ads.
When I got my Canon 80D (based in part on your helpful review), I went for EF not EF-S lenses, thinking eventually I would upgrade to a full frame body. I may do that someday, but in the meantime I got a Canon ELAN7E for about $120, and it being a 35mm film camera my lenses are automatically the right ones! Beyond the differences in the images themselves later, shooting the two cameras are (is?) completely different experiences, not just due to the image size; shooting digital is effectively free, whereas with shooting film, every snap costs money - not a lot in 35mm versus medium format 120, but still something. And knowing there are only 36 shots in the roll, you just have to think a bit about what and why you are capturing in an image.
Driving around with no plan to find photos is one of my favorite ways to do photography!
Before I watch this video latter, let me ask. This "film experience" includes the film simulations? Because this is the thing that maybe really makes the "film experience", "old style" on Fujifilm cameras, using AND customizing the film simulations to emulate stock look.
Please post more videos. I would like to see more of the photo critiques you did in the past.
Tony, just shoot film :) Would be amazing have a segment on the channel where you guys just shoot film with different cameras.
Yeah, I would love to see a film video that was about the Nikon F6 vs. the Canon EOS-1V. That would be a fun remix of the usual Canon/Nikon DSLR battle but in the film world.
Right ! Ok totally here for that !
I use both the X100V and Pro3 with small primes and just love them.. The Leica Q2 Mono does have my attention, but the price does not. Would love for Fuji to release a Mono version of the X100 or Pro series cameras. Left mirror flapping DSLR's many years ago and have not missed anything about them...
You guys pulled off a retro mood / feeling with this video. I really enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed it like I enjoyed the Digital Rev videos back when I was just getting started with photography. CZcams was a happier place back then. Almost seems like a different world.
I've committed to buying a Fuji X-E4 for all the reasons you describe, regarding putting the joy and simplicity back into photography. I need to do more photo excursions like I used to and like you guys did in this video.
I know it's a lot of work to produce any kind of video, but I hope videos like this one are at least "fun work" because this was really enjoyable to watch...complete opposite of when I fell asleep with CZcams playing the other night and woke up halfway through your X-T2 tutorial, wondering WTF? I wasn't even on your channel when I fell asleep. Needless to say, I let the tutorial keep playing and had no trouble going back to sleep!
with the 100V are you shooting raw or jpeg ?
Fun stuff! I've been shooting with the TTArtisan 11mm fisheye and really enjoying it.
Tony - Glad to hear you're getting your passion for photography back! :) Fuji tip: I noticed the "Fuji hunt" when the video switched from Chelsea's review to Tony's review. A trick I've found to cut down on the hunting is setting up back button autofocusing, but then switching the camera to Manual focus. I did this because when I do bird photography with my 100-400, I was struggling with focusing on birds in leaves. When you enable back button AF and then switch to manual, the back button will still AF initially, but then jump right into manual mode and focus peaking. Manually adjust on the birds eye and grab my capture. I tried the same technique with video and the neat thing is that when I focus on a bird while shooting video, the camera will still micro-adjust focus automatically if the bird moves, but if I move the focus box off the bird, it wont jump to the background. I don't vlog, so I haven't had a chance to test this "vlog-style," but it might be something you two might want to test to see if it's a usable "Fuji-hack." Anyway, great video as always!! :) I love my 7Artisan and TTArtisan lenses. The TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 is one of my favorites for my X-T4.
Okay... Need to modify my "fuji tip." So, I went out to do some birding video, set my "hack" and it wasn't working the way it was before. Started tinkering around with settings and couldn't figure out why I couldn't replicate what I had done just a week ago. Then I figured out the problem - I must have accidentally switched from Manual to single point af (AF-S) when I switched to video.... oops. So, for those of you trying my "hack" and are wondering why it didn't work.... user error... my bad... story of my life. :( Still, I can confirm that simple point AF with a 100-400 gives you nice video! Was I able to get the camera to hunt to the background? Yes, but I set my autofocus pulls to slow. This explains why I didn't experience hunting the first time.... My apologies for the confusion.
At 5:06 Chelsea said it takes her 5 minutes to connect to the app? I just timed from app closed, camera off (Bluetooth and location were on before) around 55 seconds to a minute-ish on my xe-3. My strategy is to after opening the app wait for the Bluetooth remote button to light up, which means Bluetooth is now connected at around 34 - 40ish seconds. The established connection makes connecting to the phone seem phone much faster at 20ish more seconds. You do not press any buttons on the camera other than turning it on, pressing okay re-pairs your phone.
EDIT: Also make sure if you have a VPN on to turn it off or connection will fail.
The video camera you guys were using was having all sorts of exposure problems and weird jitters. Which camera was it?
A7S III. Watch my long-term review of it... It's flakey like that. I'm thinking of switching back to Canon.
Bitten by the bug of the Leica Q. I am now fumbling my way around a Leica M240, 1940's leica lens, a LTM Canon lens plus a couple of Voigtlander's. Great video thanks, I'm sure there is life before DSLR's & Mirrorless.
You tubing has been good to you guys! Living the dream! Good for you! Do more videos on the 7 artisans lenses!
Would love to see how you find the 3 in a busy environment. Chelsea said people don’t find the X100V disarming but there was no-one around!
I've only played with the X100V twice. Such a lovely camera, it's so fun to play with. The lens is also shaper than the older F.
yes
Love that NECK STRAP ON THE X-PRO 3, Care to share where i can buy one? Thanks in advance.
I really enjoyed this video, you totally captured why I have gone for the Fuji-x system. It is not the best, but probably the most enjoyable process. One big downside of this video is that I got to see a 4 cylinder BMW. I really think that the straight-six n55 or b58 are the superior engines for the 4 series platform.
“Bring your KEH memory cards and join us next week when we try out the new KEH digital body, paired with the new KEH lens, and go shooting at the KEH warehouse. Oh! And did I mention KEH?”
Fun video and really appreciated the emphasis on the shooting experience. Not that I don’t love gear reviews too...
I bought a Leica M3 and a Fujifilm TX-1 Panoramic camera during the COVID period. The Leica is all manual and requires a light meter and the Fuji is more electronic, but both are remarkable rangefinder cameras. Also let me add that processing my on film has really ignited my love for photography. Seeing images on film after developing is a thrill
I put my late father’s Leica 35 mm lens on my Fuji Xpro 3 was how I recaptured the shooting analogue feel into my photography.
You do realize that classic Leica screw mount lenses adapt to the CanonRF (I do not know about other brands). Considering what these sell for used (unfortunately I sold my 21mm Super Angulon years ago) it is great that there is now a 'reasonable' option. Thanks for the tip. Question: Price not a consideration, how do TT etc. lenses compare in results to a 50-70 year old Leitz? If I still had the 21mm f/3.4 Leitz would I gain anything but speed with the TT? BTW: If you do not like screens and big cameras, try an RP and fold the screen facing in.
I love when you do these videos in your area! PS... KEH has always treated me so well (knock on wood🤪). It’s not just gas, I truly enjoy trying new things!!!
Can u do one video about fuji x100 conversion lenses
Lol! That audio at the end of the episode. 🤣
That Fuji X-Pro3 half case and strap… 🤩 where can I find it? Good video!!
This is a great video - but when can we get a full review of the GFX100S? Is it coming soon?
Tell Fuji to loan it to us!
@@TonyAndChelsea I did, ages ago! I'm shocked and disappointed at my lack of influence with Fuji. Why won't they listen to me?
Thanks for the video.
I shoot a Leica M10 digital rangefinder with the following lenses:
Leica 21mm f/1.4 Summilux-M
Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 Distagon ZM
Leica 90mm f/2 Summicron
I also shoot a Fuji X-Pro2 digital mirrorless with the following Fujinon lenses:
56mm f/1.2
23mm f/1.4
16mm f/1.4
16-55mm f/2.8
50-140mm f/2.8
Originally, the Fuji was supposed to be temporary. I only planned on using it until I found a Leica rangefinder that I liked. However, after I bought the M10 to use with my M6 lenses, I decided to keep them both.
I totally agree about how you can take these cameras anywhere and you don't feel like they're a burden to carry. I'm a wheelchair user and over the last few years I have come to adore small formfactor cameras. I rig my x-e3 up to the chair with a clamp and a baseplate and I'm free to go anywhere. I could never have done that with my old DSLR. I suppose I give up some ergonomics in the hand and I don't have all the controls right at my fingertips but that's a small price to pay for the freedom cameras like the ones in this video can give. You can have the best gear in the world but if it's too much of a pain to take out and shoot then it's pointless.
The non leica glass wide open tends to have more CA and edge issues wide open, plus copy variance.
Love my X100V. I call it my dog-walking camera. My Canon’s feel like I’m working. The iPhone just doesn’t measure up to my expectations. That little Fuji is the perfect intermediary. Great images, quick and intuitive. I feel a sense of photo freedom with it. And photos of walking the dogs look great too. The V is a giant step forward from the X100f. I never bonded with that one. It was good but just not quite there.
HAHA! She pulled it out of the refrigerator and smelled it to see if it's still good!
I absolutely LOVED my X100V... but then I started using the ND filter on hikes for long exposure shots (waterfalls etc)... and then decided I'd prefer the wider angle look with the wider angle WCL converter.... so I bought that, then I realised I basically had turned it into an interchangeable lens camera... so I decided to go ahead and buy an X-T4 with Fuji's amazing lenses instead... still miss the V though.
Also, agree with the delay in metering if it switches from light to dark. I only really notice when I take a lens cap off, but I think it's a trait of the X-Trans4 sensor. It's weird, but less a problem, more just interesting.
Hi guys I was just in that area before I saw your video. I have to agree with Chelsea, I love my x100v. I live in Manchester,Connecticut. I travel around Connecticut and New England taking pictures.
Nice video! It's always great when great channels deal with the topic. What I'm missing here is a definition of what you consider a "film experience". You can see with the X100V that Chelsea uses the EVF all the time. That's as much film expirince as a smartphone....why not force you to use the cameras as if they were a film camera?
The walk with the X-Pro 3 was better but for manual lenses you have to use the EVF. but that's not your fault.
M10-D is of course the absolute analog experience.
I find good that you have also shown the Leica!
I can appreciate what you said about feeling more connected with the M10-D, Tony. As a hobbyist I've felt more and more connected as I've removed assists from my shooting. Theses days it's all film and metering 100% by eye. All the failures (and occasional successes) are entirely on me. It's the most rewarding photography has ever felt. Love you guys and hope that all is well.
@Tweed Penguin I didn't say what camera I'm using. 🤷🏼♂️
On my x100V, there is a dirty spot on the sensor after 2500 shots... no way to clean...
Looks like you had a lot of fun with these cameras.
I love the opening! Very funny!
Good colorgrading on this video! 👍😃
I’ve been shooting on an aps-c slr with a 1.8 50mm prime for years because it gives good results for very little money. The size and the utterly tragic AF on the 50mm has been a constant thorn in my side, so this convinced me to go and order an x100v. I’m hoping the size will have me picking it up more often when I walk out the door. Though if I ever win the lottery I’m getting that Leica.
I just recently purchased a Leica camera for the same reasons you mentioned in this video. I wanted to focus on the process and art of photography instead of the specs and technology.
Connecticut looks very interesting. I would love for you to show more of your state.
Have you guys thought of doing a side by side comparison of film vs. digital photography? Film has really been making a come back on Instagram, and CZcamsrs are starting to swear by it over digital. They’re saying it’s a more fun and challenging way to learn photography
I regularly shoot film, mainly with 4x5 and 8x10 cameras. Yes, it is much more challenging than using a current full frame dslr....but that doesn't mean it's better. It's just different. Sometimes it's fun to slow down....way down, but it can also be fun to not worry about the technical issues or camera adjustments, and just concentrate on the image. And then there's the little issue of weight. My LF tripod weighs 16 lbs by itself. :)
I saw you overlaid "Full-frame equivalent: 35mm f/3" which is inaccurate. I also caught your video comparing full frame to crop sensors where you made similar assertions. I think it is worth clarifying that, while yes, crop sensor cameras DO have deeper depth of field at a given aperture, the light gathering capability of them is unchanged. f/2 is f.2 whether it is APS-C, FF, or even MF. Otherwise, metering would change across sensor sizes - which it does not (excluding variances in sensor manufacturer of course).
I mainly do Wildlife and Landscapes so I still use my Nikon D850, but my Leica M10-P gives me so much pleasure on travel/Street. It wouldn't meet all my photographic needs, but its such a wonderful experience. I guess its like having your BMW and the vintage car for weekend. Cheers
Good on you two for having a bottle of Cholula! I expect nothing less than at least Tony being from TX. You should try the chipotle version, pretty fantastic.
Been watching a while, had no idea you were in CT. Just did an engagement shoot at Henry park up in Vernon, CT
Yeah, kinda sucks that these mediocre togs are repping CT on here..
I haven’t watched this channel much before, but I find it incredible it’s got such a large following base given the video feels like 15min KEH ad. The videos are good, but the ad placement is way too much.
5:10 You need a video on best camera connectivity apps from camera manufacturers.
And when you do so, please do not forget to critizise Fuji for needlessly renameing files on transfer.
Leica app wins it’s not perfect but it works everytime , fujifilm it’s baaaad
There are many online complaints (including my own) about the Fuji iPhone app for file transfer. I'm glad Chelsea got hers to work.
Great video!
So interesting that everybody is talking about the M10D! I had to grab one! Coming next week! Hahaha
Are you filming in 60 FPS?
Yeah
@@TonyAndChelsea KInda like it~~
Didn’t realize the Fuji x100V is slow to read exposure. Still, it’s good enough to be the carry-around camera for a current “Washington Post” photographer with two Pulitzers to his credit.
who?
@@HendrikWieduwilt -Michael S. Williamson
@@altonmarsh Thanks!
I agree that manual focus lenses are very helpful for slowing down and, for me, creating better art. The Zeiss ZF.2 manual focus lenses for the Nikon F mount do this as well, working on both film cameras like the F100 and DSLRs like the D850. While a split screen and microprism ring focusing screen would be ideal, it seems difficult or impossible to use with a DSLR, so the AF assist has to suffice. If i turn the back LCD off, and only use the information on the top 'Casio-style' (Tony's favorite :-D ) panel, it is really close to my film experience with the N90s / F100. Paired with the Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Distagon or 100mm f/2 Makro Planar, and I really concentrate on what I see through the *glass* viewfinder to create the best art I am (barely) capable of.
I wonder if this video was sponsored by KEH? Do you think T and C have a coupon code? CZcams 2021...
The camera on the fridge is dope
I lust for the Fuji's :O
The Leica too, but at that price, I don't even have to think about it. Still, I appreciate the craftmanship
In my old previous Pentax k70 was better connection via app with my phone, that on Fuji i use right now... :(
This is my fav video you have ever made
Hybrid viewfinder is great in x100 series. Far better than the evf or ovf options.
Nice place where you live. Where is this village? Greetings from Austria
My grandfather had a bag like that too.
I love Tonys nerdy stuff but thank God for a different video 😁
the color grading is nice here
Another great commercial, guys. Well done
An M-10 is a bucket list camera for me, but even if I can ever bring myself to pay $6K for a body, no way I could justify the cost of the lenses. The image quality differences between typical Leica lenses and the ones you noted (and others) is just ridiculously miniscule. I've typically upgraded each time the X100 line has introduced a new model (with a couple exceptions), and have the X100V. My other main cameras are a Canon EOS R and a Fuji XE-3 (which I bought about six months ago because of the ridiculously low price, almost an X100V that takes interchangeable lenses). I also have Canon 90D and 80D bodies that I use for keeping particular fixed-length lenses at hand (one w/ 10 -18 wide angle and one w/ either 30 or 60 macro). The XE-3 with an 18-55 covers almost the same range as the EOS R w/ its 24 - 105 (after allowing for the XE-3's crop factor), while being MUCH more compact. Still, the X100V is the camera to just sling around my neck when I'm out and about and not on a dedicated photo excursion (although I've discovered the XE-3 is nearly as good for that, at least with an 18-55 mounted). I started my photo hobby w/ a Minolta SRT-101, then moved to a pair of Olympus OM-1s (no zoom lenses for those), and then a Canon F1 and Ftn (again, no zoom lenses). I really prefer the manual experience for the most part. The old lollipop meter on the Minolta made it really easy to set exposure (as well as to under or over-expose if you wanted to), and manually focusing through a ground-glass center where the image was blurred and/or off-axis until you had it in focus was super-easy. I really wish someone other than Leica - read: someone affordable - would come out with a camera that's mostly manual. Kudos to Nikon for their 2013 Df model, but it was overpriced, and at 16mp it's just not worth what's it's fetching on the used market. So, love my X100V and XE-3; mostly go to my EOS R only on dedicated photo outings - more often than not landscape stuff - or when I know I might want to really blow up the image when I print it.
love my x-pro2!
I like how the camera come out of the fridge :)
This was a great video! Fuji Film is the worlds best cameras!
I have to find a way of resurrecting my dead Contax G2. There is no one in the UK who could repair it. The pain is too much.
Those 7artisan lenses have quite poor image quality compared to any modern lens. But usually it is good enough for some portraits or shallow DOF photos.
Really put a camera in the fridge and smelled it while taking it out 😂
Your outro @ 13:24, brilliantly stated. I enjoy following new tech here on CZcams, but lately the art of photography is getting buried in today's specs battles.
how much did KEH pay you each time you said it?
It's not a cash transaction, like you are thinking. KEH actually provides them with an unpaid intern, who stays out of frame and serves as Tony's fluffer each time he says the name KEH.
It's a win-win for everyone... except the intern, who now bears lifelong emotional scars.
Photographers don't need to obsess over a RAW shooting dogma. Yes, of course we shoot RAW professionally, but with the in camera processing that Fuji offers - as well as the ability to create your own recipe - the x100 series is a must have for me when I just want to shoot for fun.
"Creating your own recipe" isn't anything specific to Fuji. _Every_ camera manufacturer offers multiple colour profiles with additional options to control contrast, saturation, sharpening, colour tone, etc. Canon even go a step further and let users create their own colour profiles entirely from scratch-right down to the base matrix that creates the red, green and blue channels-and upload them to cameras, enabling things like in-camera split toning or true orthochromatic capture.
It's absolutely right that it's great to have quality and versatile in-camera processing options, but it's wrong to imply that Fuji are somehow the only ones who allow users to change settings, or change the results more than other brands.
When I want an analog experience, I leave my Leica digital M10 at home and shoot with my analog Leica M6 instead. It is so difficult to experience the joy of film development with a digital camera.
Stopped buying from KEH because of the poor customer service and support I kept receiving. The inspection process is hit and miss. Gave them multiple chances until I gave up. Adorama isn’t great either. Support chat was painful.
I would recommend just getting a great film camera and lens on eBay for like $100 like the Nikon FM and just shoot on film. You don’t get the infinite film of digital but your analog cravings probably won’t last long enough to make up for the $1000 difference in film/development costs
Love those cameras. Too bad I don’t know where I could buy one… 🤦🏻♂️
Guys guys guys…KEH sponsors the Northrups, which is awesome, because they are a good company, and it allows them to show us gear thru these very thorough videos.
Thanks Tony and Chelsea!!!
at 1:04 i was holding out for some fire-exhaust a la the original Batmobile
I pay for Premium and I still see ads...wth...
Whatever Chelsea recommends....I agree with...haha
Actually, X100F’s are now going for more than V’s. I’ve seen them as high as $1500US. The used market has also gone up if you can find one. Similar story with the X-Pro2.
The X-Pro2 has a different sensor / processor combo than the X-Pro3 or X100V, which produces less noise at high ISO, and is overall more pleasing to my eye. I'm basing this on the files from my X-T3, which shares the same sensor/processor as the X-Pro3, because I never felt the need to 'upgrade'. I also prefer the files from my X-T2 over my X-T3, despite the bump in resolution.
As much as I adore my X100T, I'd get the V just for the weather sealing. The new lens is a nice addition, and the extra stop of ND, but the lack of weather seals is my only true gripe with my beloved X100T - I'm afraid to take it out in bad weather.
