3/21/2023 0 Comments Fujifilm xpro 2The good thing is that it didn’t even get a scratch, nor did the lens. Ouch… Even on a busy and noisy city street, the fall made enough sound for several bypassers to turn around and look. It’s just boxier and not as comfy to hold for longer periods of time like the X-T1 is.ĭon’t tell Fujifilm, but on one occasion the X-Pro2 actually slipped out of my hand and fell to the ground and hit the tarmac. My hand gets tired after holding it for a while, and it’s not because it’s heavy. Minus: The X-Pro2 grip feels ok in my hand, but not for longer periods of time like on a long photoshoot, or walking around the town. It simply is a beautiful camera that gets a lot of attention from others. Plus: I really do like the looks of the X-Pro2, even though I’m not into rangefinders. Some lifestyle work with Kristina from a workshop I taught (lens: XF90mmF2) I’ll try to cover every area of the camera that is important to me as a working photographer, and this post is about how the X-Pro2 behaves and feels for me as a tool for making pictures. The X-T1 has kept both me and many of my clients happy for the last 2.5 years, and so have the X-Pro2 for the last 6 months. Being a rangefinder, it’s quite different compared to the more DSLR’ish style of the X-T1 & X-T2. There are loads of things I love about X-Pro2, and there are a few things I don’t love at all for the kind of work I do. You can find plenty of other places on the web that cover speeds and specs and the techstuff. For me, cameras are tools for transforming my visual ideas into images, so this won’t be very nerdy and techy. Both commercial images and from personal projects. You’ll also find a bunch of images shot with the X-Pro2 and various lenses. So this is basically my list of all the good stuff, the bad stuff, and also the stuff I really would like to see on a camera like this. I’ve tried to go through every aspect of the camera that is important for me, and give you my comments, pluses and minuses. But the main reason for that, is because Fujifilm themselves have spoilt me with the wonderful X-T1. Some may think that I’m a bit harsh on the X-Pro2. Some of you may agree with me, and a lot probably won’t. Please remember that these are my personal opinions. And after 2.5 years of heavy use with the X-T1, and close to 6 months of nearly daily use with the X-Pro2, now is the perfect time for telling you how I feel about it. The Fujifilm X-T1 actually changed several things about how I work, and it’s a camera I love. Some lifestyle work with Dora from a workshop I taught (lens: XF90mmF2) Some lifestyle work with Dora from a workshop I taught (lens: XF90mmF2) He’s not even a street photographer or photo journalist, and now he’s got opinions on the X-Pro2! Booh! Burn him! Crucify him!” So, can a non-rangefinder guy appreciate the X-Pro2…?! Well keep on reading. Now some of you will probably start to freak out and scream “My god, he hasn’t used the X-Pro1. I’m actually pretty sure even Fujifilm doesn’t see me as an X-Pro2 user. Most of the X-Pro2 reviews I’ve read, have been written by great street photographers and photo journalists, and I don’t shoot any of those genres professionally. Some lifestyle work with Dora from a workshop I taught (lens: XF90mmF2) That’s why I thought it would be a great idea to share my thoughts with you on the Fujifilm X-Pro2! Don’t you agree…?! Well come on in and read more about it.īy the way, if you would like to see even more images shot with the X-pro2 and other cameras, plus some behind the scenes stuff from different photoshoots, feel free to follow me on Instagram. I’ve barely used a Leica, and only held a Fujifilm X-Pro1 in my hands once without even taking a picture with it. I grew up shooting medium format and SLRs, both film and digital.
