Nice content. Video looks crispy!

2024, I bought the xpro2 over the xt30ii both are great tools but different animals, the xpro2 together with the 35 mm f2 fuji lens is a modern dream. Fuji could have stopped there… with this lens the camera reaches its full resolution of 24 MP. There is no need for more megapixels, even with aggressive cropping because your scene was too far away…. a dream combination for me, makes photography a lot more fun….😊

2024 and I just received my graphite edition from MPB. Our camera body timeline is scarily similar lol though, I still have my T3i, Canon R, and X-E2s.

Fantastic journey tell me are you still using your X- Pro 2 .. do you think it’s worth buying one in 2024

Great story masked as a gear video. Thanks for sharing

I have two x pro 2 I was thinking of getting the xe 4 but not weather proof n you have two slots

Can you link me to your film recipes

Nice story, pal. I reckon your grandfather would approve!

Really nice video! I'm totally fascinated by Fuji's system. At moment I have got an old Nikon d5200 with several lens but is quite heavy and sometimes frustrating so I wanna change it. I'm totally lost for the x-pro2 and the x100v. The X-pro2 is easier to recover at the moment even at a lower price (~800€ solo body) but the manageability, lightness of the x100v really appeals to me, especially because it could be that camera to take on trips in your backpack and travel light or that helps you get back to photography while having fun. On the one hand the X-pro2 has the flexibility on the other the x100v has the lightness and manageability. What do you think about it?

this video is great, thanks for sharing your experience. it reassured me that the x-pro2 is just right for me.

Great video and I agree, the Fuji pro line is sleek in design and simple in looks but these only serve to mask a truly creative tool that is a joy to use.

Great vid, great shots. was the street video footage from the x70 too?

Good video; an engaging story told with a casual enthusiasm. Thank You! I have been a Canon 7d-mkII shooter but got a used Fuji X100 (original) off of Craigslist and I love it! I have been waffling on the next Fuji step of Xpro-1 or -2… we’ll see :) I wish you well on your image aquisition journey 👍

good photo👍

This guy is not a pro-gadget consumer. He is a very wise buyer. "This is the camera that I need for my work" Not the last model, not the one with the red button to show off, not the one that makes the others have orgasmic evaluations. No. The ONE he NEEDS. He simply is an ARTISAN. Nice going, Eli!!! Keep on shooting. Keep on sharing.

I just bought a used one today...I have an X-t4 and love that camera, especially the battery but I'm hoping I love the Xpro2. I mainly use the 16-80 f/4 lens for street work.

I would honestly argue that the X-Pro2 is *better* than the X-Pro3. The X-Pro2s OVF has two optical lenses, one wide and one more zoomed in. That means it's workable to use it all the way from 18mm (16 if you're okay with using the view itself as a somewhat inaccurate composition tool) to 60mm. And it's optimal for use with 23mm (still room to see outside the frame comfortably), and 50mm (zoomed enough in). The X-Pro3 lacks this, it has only a single element in its OVF, with 23mm being the widest that you can comfortably use, and really 27mm or 35mm being the only optimal ones. A more subjective point: the sensor of the X-Pro2 (shared with X100F, X-E3, X-T2, etc…) is the one that creates the most beautiful images of any of the X-series Fujifilm cameras. I have an X100V and its images are not as beautiful as those taken by my X-Pro2 in terms of colour and noise pattern. I mean, the noise pattern of X-Pro2 is so organic that I often *intentionally* crank up the ISO to get more of it! The regular one (which I have) is also just a stunning camera to hold. It's so tactile. I had a similar journey (just happened a longer time ago), having had Canon and Sony cameras, using analogue for a while and then ending up with the X-Pro2. It's just so tactile to use. I absolutely love it!

Interesting video because I am literally figuring out for myself if I want to trade in my XE4 for an XPRO2. Can I ask you how you got yourself doing client work?

Great video and nice to hear you're story ..

Great camera! I bought my X-Pro2 last year, enjoy using it very much.

Nice. Thinking about an xpro 2 for myself. I have a Sony A6600 that works beautifully, but it doesn’t excite me.

is Xpro2 still available to buy in the markets?

Great video!! And your XPro2 is super clean. So I've got one also and the tactile feel is what made me go for it. And the look. It's been on the shelf since I recently picked up a X100f, but it will be back in rotation for my next road trip.

Stick vintage lenses on that and enjoy the perfect hybrid of film and digital film photography!

Does the xpro 2 do 4k video ? Does it have the hybrid viewfinder ( ovf/evf ) ? Does the screen is out facing correctly ? Xpro3 screen seems so poorly designed for any video , even if it's just a fraction of what you plan to use it for ....kills the camera in this way. Very photos btw , the color and "loose" composition are georgeous !

Enjoyed your video and look forward to see how the x-pro2 performs. I’m thinking of getting one myself to replace my much loved x-pro 1. If I’m honest , I’d really like an x100v but you just cannot get one in the UK

I never visited Boston, but the cherry blossom colors are nice. I've been doing more out of city and nature picture taking lately, but use XF35 1.4 as my default.

I have a Mint xpro2 graphite ill sell right now. PayPal goods and services. Please, I need baby formula! I can include a mint 35 1.4 for a little more!!

Beautiful message!

Great story mate I shoot film various kit and my fave wee digi is the x100f. As fate has it I just gave my F to my dad at 80 he wants a smaller camera which leaves me wanting the Xpro 3 although now the 2 looks like a great option. Liked n subbed cheers bro

Hey is the video also from the fuji xe-4?

Graphite version, nice!📷👍🏼

Just noticed it was the 23mm f2📷👍🏼

Love it, love the shots was an absolute blast! ❤️ one thing i learned no such thing as too much boba

Boston was such a great city for street photography - great variety of architecture and plenty of busy areas and more peaceful ones as well!

Love your Videos and Photos so much. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for sharing your history.Context is interesting!I am a painter and recently started to shoot with Rebel 400 and so far its exciting to me.I am starting to annoy my wife and son for constant photos but its fun learning.Thanks again

I’m going to incorporate this in my own work! Thanks Eli!

I need to do more reflection shots! Great tips! 🤘🏽

Do you ever incorporate reflections into your street photography? If so, I'd love to see; drop your Instagram handle!

Fantastic video, enjoyed listening to your story. Sorry for the loss of your grandpa.

Eli I loved your delivery. Really engaging and sincere. Keep going. Have subscribed

Nice work man!

Great tips!

Great stuff man! Been trying to dial in my in-camera settings myself recently #fujigang

Nice jacket and camera 🙏🏼 love the second shot ❤️

How do you use your Fujifilm camera for street photography? 🔽🔽🔽

I really like your photos!! Great work! I’ve had an x-pro2 for a few years now. I really prefer that sensor to the newer ones. (I’ve owned an x-pro3 and xt3, but sold them both). I would say my x-pro2 is the best digital camera I’ve ever owned (including a Nikon d700 and Sony a7rii), and I’ll keep it until it stops working :) I never had more fun shooting digital than I have with the x-pro2.

Great video. Thank you for sharing
