NIKON Shooter About FUJIFILM: “Fujifilm’s Passion is Evident or They Could Never have Produced Something Like the X100F”

Fujifilm X100F

Did you invest in DSLR’s or any other non-Fujifilm system?

Well, then let your fingers from the Fujifilm X100F, since the perfidious Fuji Guys conceived this camera as the “gateaway drug” into the X world.

In fact, I often hear of Nikon or Canon shooters, who just got and X100F as a secondary camera for everyday shooting. But once they felt the pleasure, inspiration and quality of shooting with Fujifilm, they started to buy an X-Pro2, or an X-T2, a few lenses, and ended up ditching their DSLR system completely.

Today we report about another hardcore Nikon shooter, who made the error to get an X100F as a secondary camera: very popular youtube photographer The SnapChick.

She says about the X100F:

  • She tried the Nikon DF, which never fully embrace its inner “analogueness”
  • X100F hits the sweet spot between old school feel and modern features
  • X100F solidly build and  super clean, classic design
  • it’s all about the basics
  • intuitive menu. Coming from other brands, she felt like she already knew how to use 90% of the functions without needing the menu or manual
  • Sony mirrorless felt like a computer for her, but Fujifilm is doing it right
  • she liked to use film simulations a lot
  • this was the first time in a long time, that she was excited to look at photos later on
  • she thought that the X100F would make an occasional guest appearance in her camera bag, but after a couple of months with “this gem” and the Fujifilm X100F was almost always in her bag, and often no other camera
  • high quality images that rival anything else out there
  • Fujifilm’s passion is evident, or they could never have produced something like this, where the features and the functions are so well geared to help you do that one thing really well: capturing great images with the least distraction while giving you full creative control

I doubt she will end up ditching their Nikon system, since most of her followers on youtube are Nikon shooters. But it’s nice that she captures in words so nicely what’s about to be a Fujifilm X shooter: enjoying the pictures just as much as the process to take them.

So You HATE Retro FUJIFILM Dials? Then Just Customize them and Get DSLR-like Controls!

Fujifilm – Customize it

Recently we shared Jared Polin’s Fujifilm X-H1 review, where Jared complaints badly about the Fujifilm retro controls.

But as we pointed out in the review of Jared’s review, he is probably not so familiar with Fujifilm controls.

In fact, Fujifilm cameras are more flexible than anything else on the market right now.

If you like the retro analogue controls (like me), you just turn the dedicated dials, but if you hate them (like Jared), all you need to do is to set your camera in a way that all those nice retro-dials become useless, since you can control many settings via command dial, just like on a DSLR.

If you are interested to know, how it works, then make sure to check out Ming Cai Youtube Video “Customize the Command Dials on Fujifilm Cameras to Get DSLR-like Control”

And since it just fits so well in today’s article…. as a hardcore analgoue-like controls freak like myself, I share again Palle Schultz Video down below ;)

Fujinon XF 200mmF2 Sample Images and Old Vs. New 1.4x Teleconverter Comparison

Fujinon XF 200mm F2 Samples

Fujifilm X-shooter Surachart Chandenduang is testing the brand new XF200mmF2. He is photographing ice skaters and takes some portraits on the beach with the 200/2.

In his camera bag there is also a Nikon D5 with 70-200, and you can see it compared to the X-T2 with XF200 on his facebook page here.

Rico Pfirstinger has published a comparison between the old 1.4x teleconverter and new 1.4x teleconverter mounted on the Fujinon XF200mmF2 on his flickr here (where you will find many more XF200/2 samples).

Down below you see the results zoomed in 200%, and the new teleconverter delivers clearly superior resutls.

As I told you already months before announcements, the old 1.4x teleconverter was designed to work well only down until f/2.8, hence Fujifilm needed to design a new converter that works well also stopped down at f/2.

The new 1.4x Teleconverter is properly supported only by the XF200mmF2, so if you use it on other Fujinon lenses, it won’t work well.
