Thanks for the video. Buy an airline ticket for your equipment and stay home that way problem solved. As for me went to Florence and Venise only with my Fuji x100f worked great. Istill had time to enjoy the vacation

Thanks for the video. “But it’s a Leica”. 6000 dollars what a deal and what value for your money. I shot leica film for years and still have the Leica IA and it shoots perfectly. This is not the same company. Pride and craftsmanship Gone. They are selling you on a romantic past from the film era and are good at convincing people to drink the kool aid. I had a Leica Limited release me 240. What a joke, after I year and 1000 photos sold the overpriced and overrated camera. My rangefinder lines were better in my IIIF. Bought a Sony A7c with a 40mm lens and wow blew the Leica away. I adapted my older and old Leica lenses and such a pleasure to use on this small compact body. The company having just released the outdated micro four thirds dlux 8. Really? . Purchase a full frame very small A7c now at around the same price as the dlux. Also, buy a red Leica sticker for your camera to carry in your Ralph Lauren bag with the name showing. Regarding 60 megapixels, never necessary. Good selling tool. If you need an absolutely huge print you can easily use a 12 megapixel camera with a very good lens and use gigapixel ai. I will keep my Leica film bodies for shooting film but Leica Digital? Goodbye

This is a great review, super pleasant to watch/listen and with zero bs. I'd love to see your take on the Harman Phoenix 200 as well!

😂😂😂😂😂

For my compact portable camera setup, I just switched to a Sony a7cii with the 40mm f/2.5 (I now have a few other primes). The full size sensor alone is a good reason to switch imo. I still love my GFX setup even with all its flaws…

Fuji users must stay on Fuji... there is no need to switch to Sony... that's what I did and after three weeks I sold Sony and returned to Fuji... the best system is the one that offers you a easy handling, intuitive menu and a decent sensor quality.

3 years after : a three pack of kodak gold is 30€ in France

As a canon shooter I’m looking to jump ship hard. Their super telephotos are sooo dim $2500 for a f7.1… how about a “cheap” $650 f8. It’s an obvious cash grab. When they finally let 3rd party lenses on FF they’ll release brighter versions of the lenses knowing idiots will grab them up

I have the XH2S and luckily I haven't had to deal with the AF in video as I use manual cine lenses exclusively for that part of my work. However, the AF performance for photo has been a bit dodgy at times and outright shit other times. I would use eye tracking AF, the camera would show the green boxes locked on, take a few shots and would see photos slightly out of focus, or focused on the eye brow or eye lashes instead of the iris. I'm using native Fuji lenses too- 23 1.4 WR, 56 1.2 WR and the 35 1.4. Still poor performance in stills. The firmware updates seem to not make much of a difference or complete break the AF in other regaurds. This does not inspire confidence, especially for paid work. I want my tools to work like advertised. I have resorted to using manual focus at time for stills, but doing though sucks with focus-by-wire lenses. I have now moved my stills work to Nikon and haven't had any issues at all. They might not be as fun (the ZF is still fun as hell), but I can rely on them and they are consistant.

Never understood photographers who shoot on film and then scan the image to work on them digitally.

Thanks for this excellent video. I've been looking for a point and shoot since my other 35mm F2.8 cameras died. Everything is so expensive now! Except for this one. I guess I understand why now.

Is there a reason beyond AF performance or 3rd party lens availability to go with Sony? Do they make one that feels good and hand and doesn’t scrape your knuckles with a lens attached? I’m serious, Sony is a great innovative company but not really a camera company, as you said.

Where does that interesting accent come from?

If AF is critical Sony is for you. Colour science in Sonys suck. It's total mess for me to edit videos in davinci. I just wondering how on earth photographers took tack sharp pictures back in the days without eye tracking which is a new gimmick in photography and with shitty dslrs bodies totally unreliable in AF.

What if I wanna get these results on a Fujifilm XM-1?

is this the new Sun-kissed version?

This is one Heck of a Film Simulation. Currently using it on my XT5

Fixed wide angle lens and electronic viewfinder are a no for me. Opted for a refurbished M10R and couldn’t be happier with it.

i didnt find the autofocus chapter in there, how do you feel it? and how does it compare to the q2 or the fuji x100vi? that are my references thanks

Think I be giving this one a miss!

Although having more choice in film material is a good thing, it certainly makes no sense to rebadge old material and sell it at 3 times its price point. Others might have different opinions.

I don't think it's new. I bought some months ago. Maybe new to your region?

I was doing to similar tests with my S5II at firmware v3. I tried every single possible combinations of AF settings using 50mm f/1.8 lens and the keep rate was 50% at its best. If different conditions are considered, the rate can easily go beyond 30%. If the hit rate was consistent and above a reasonable percentage, I would keep it. Anyways, I liked your testing methodology, which convinced me to return S5II and get Sony A7 IV or A7C II.

Your shooting the NOCTON 50mm 1.5 Vintage , this is good choice and I can understand the results better , as I have the ULTRON and NOKTON in that design but in brass / chrome. Those are extremely fine optics and I shoot the Ultron all the time with Film. I like the warm cast of this Lomochrome color 92 film. Cannot wait to try this and 120 stock on my Rollei's. Your M3 is such a well kept little guy too , my Ultron lives on an MA the Summicron DR on the M3 or the Nokton 50mm 1.5

How do you scan? I saw you made a video about it but I think I watched it already. Its interesting that the pictures have a clean black border on the outside. That looks pretty clean.

Old car, rad hat, embroidered pillow?? Love it!

Was geht ab mein Schatzi? Schön dich wieder zu sehen! Hast du gut geschlafen? Danke für das Video. Endlich jemand aus Deutschland hat die Film getestet, für ein Australier die results zu schauen. Pass auf mein NRW Bruder ✌🏾

The M11 is the perfect metaphor for Germany writ large. It's sad. Maybe the 12 will be outsourced to Panasonic and be better for it. LOL my M6 is still going and been with me 35 years. Guess it will have to keep doing until we get a Qx with a 35 lux.

reminds me a bit of Cinestill 400d

😔 this is so disappointing. I just wish they could fix it already i want the xh2s and use it for work

Have you retested since the last FW update ?

Thank you for sharing very very much, i use the mp240 & i struggle with how slow the camerais to start & how slow to naviagte the images & how slow everything is in this overpriced camera

Same thing is happening to me right now - X-H2 will have to go and A7C2 will join me on my journey 🤷‍♂️ Btw.: I often hear people complaining about the sony colors, is it true? Green skin tones etc.?

Thanks. I stopped buying Leica cameras that had electronics in them. Too many issues, some fatal. Because I love the M system, i decided to give it one more try. The Leica MP. Purely mechanical and a light meter that only gives suggestions. I will wait until Leica can give the digital reliability that I am entitled to for that sum of money.

Fujifilm would have me as a fanboy/girl for life if they fixed the AF. I invested way too much money in the brand already - had 3 of their cameras and too many lenses to count - and there is a lot to like about the images | get out of the camera - when I am able to get an image in focus..., but slowly and surely I am letting go of my gear. Not sure which brand to go to... I would likely consider an updated version of the RX1R, but the price needs to be reasonable (that camera still costs over 4000€... which is INSANE. Even the new Fujifilm cameras, the X100VI and the X-T50 are kinda over the limit for a hobbyist, so not sure who they are made for...

That's a sad shit that 10k camera freezes up. Never happens to XT-5

Totally agree…. using X-H2s, H2s und XS20 for wedding videography. For video the autofocus is even worse… and the bad thing, it gets even more worse with every firmware update. When they donˋt get it fixed quickly I am also switching, even I am loving the picture quality and colors…

What a nightmare. I feel for you.

Gerade 19 Euro im DM für nen 3er Pack bezahlt 😢

This is 100% correct and I can confirm similar findings with my two XH2S's with a variety of lenses including LM glass. The AF.C does ok from far to mid ground but from mid to near the AF.C just completely falls apart with extremely poor hit rates. Trying every possible workaround including Focus Release and 40fps won't help you here, it just simply does a bad job on the Z axis for closer subjects. At this point in time, it is acceptable to leave Fujifilm based around specific AF requirements. There's not else much to complain about, but it is a real damn shame that they cannot improve it (and even worse they have crippled the AF performance with their Kaizen approach :S).

The only focus mode that works almost perfectly on the Fuji is the area mode with object tracking, out of every 100 photos it gets at least 95 right, the other focus modes are really very bad. Fuji unfortunately doesn't have the ability to create a good focus system.

lol love the skit at the start. Overcoming all the dust and color shifts is a struggle! I've just learned to live with it. Great in depth breakdown man SUbbeD! If you're ever curious how us lesser film tubers scan film check out my latest short posted today. Hope you have a blessed day, and happy snapping!

I guess 57 rolls is considered a lot these days!

Checking back in!! :) how’s it working out? I recently realized on my Sony as long as i tone shift my white balance I’m pretty happy. Something I never had to think about on my fuuuujjj :)

i have x-s10 and i have invested in 5 lenses - af-c is unacceptable - exactly as you presented (i am glad i haven't bought x-t5) i wish canon has so wide choice of lenses as sony... and know i am on the fence - waiting for x-t6 or buy a7 IV (i think i will go with sony)

thank you , my hasselblad is the right way .

Leica quality, which has been steadily declining since the M10, even the former domain of lens production, has plummeted. In terms of prices compared to the competition, they can no longer be taken seriously.

Thanks, spent the weekend looking at Leica's thinking I would be looking for one soon. I'll keep my Fuji for now.

Agree. I have a fujifilm system love the images but refuse to upgrade until they supply decent autofocus. I can buy latest sony A6700 with lens instead of latest fujifilm XT5. Going to change systems.

Exactly. Fuji autofocus is appalling!!!
