My Favourite Street Photography Setup | Fujifilm XE2 And Fujifilm 27mm F2.8

#fujifilm #camera #photography
In today’s video, we are going to talk about my favourite street photography setup, the Fujifilm X-E2 and the Fujifilm 27mm F2.8 lens, and we will talk about the reasons why I pick this combination over the very popular Ricoh GRiii, GRiiiX, and the Fujifilm X100V. We will show you some sample photos that I have taken using the Fujifilm X-E2 with the 27mm F2.8 and some of my other favourite lenses like the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 and the Fujifilm 16mm F1.4. Let us know what is your favourite street photography setup in the comment section below. Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you in the next one!

So glad I picked up a used XE2 before they disappear!! Great video.

You do so much that makes me happy when I watch your videos, like not blowing my ear drums out with loud music on the b-roll and showing examples that are not relevant to what you're actually talking about. I also love how you weigh out your pros and cons and don't immediately jump to a decision or create click bait anticipation. I hope you continue with videos I really enjoy them

Just got mine. My first fujifilm camera paired with a 35mm f2. I absolutely love it. It’s made me fall in love with taking photos again. Great video!

I love the way you started this video by “let’s get straight to the point”

Bought my X-E2, new, in 2014 and, although other bodies have come and gone, it’s still with me. I have tried, really tried, to like the 27mm but I much prefer the 35mm f2. It makes it too big for a pocket but that’s the only downside. Great to see this wonderful little camera still getting some love ❤️

You have just made me fall in love with my X-E2 camera again :)

This is the exact same combination that I chose to go for in April 2021, and for pretty much the same reasons. Like you, I went for the black model. I put a black wrist strap on it and it's almost invisible in my hands when doing street photography. Now, if only Fuji could make a pancake lens in the 50-56mm range, I'd be covering the whole of my preferred range with just two lenses. Aha! I've just seen that Omar commented. It was because of Omar and Chris Orange that I decided to go for this combo.

I picked up a refurbished X-E2s from Fujifilm a few years ago now. It was like new and it was my entry-level drug to the X-System. Since then I've moved on to X-Pro cameras but I still have my little X-E2s and when the new 27mm f2.8 was introduced I scouted around looking for a good example of the first-version that was likely to hit the market as people upgraded. Got myself a mint condition one at a very reasonable price and it now pretty much sits on my X-E2s full time. It's my pick-up-and-go-camera when I just need to have something small and pocketable. So I definitely agree with your logic and conclusions.

I got my X-E2 second hand for a steal and a 27mm new version... it's by far my favorite street camera! The only thing I wish is that 1.4 lenses could be lighter so I could use it in low light situations, but you can't have everything. FYI, I came from Ricoh-GR for over 15 years and not going back! Great video and thanks!

Hi! Very awesome review. I think, I will pick up one, in the nearest future. Thanks for sharing . Kudos.

[lwwells]

I have an X-E2s with a Voigtländer 27 f2 for street and travel. I love it so much.

[drivelaughing]

Great video. I love my xe2 and 27mm. Most overlooked and underrated fuji camera. I would love to see you do a video of some in camera editing.

[oscarmorillon]

I just listed the same setup for sale on FB market but I might reconsider after watching this video.

[raymeedc]

Totally agree. I have the same street setup, X-E2 & 27mm👌

[rjohnbernales]

I have the xe3, gonna pick up the xf27 tomorrow. 😎 Enjoyed the video.

[albertsmith]

I have and love the X-E2s (same as -E2, but with all the firmware updates and a few external tweaks) and while I do have the most recent models/sensors, the earlier generation sensor has a real vintage rendering straight out of camera.

I was lucky enough to preorder the new 27mm version and got mine on the first shipment before the supply issue made it impossible to find. I do use my aperture often and the addition of the marked ring on the lens really allowed me to get this current lens.

The f/2.8 aperture has not been a problem, but I hit the minimum focus range fairly often. I accept this for the convenience of the size.

All said, I can corroborate all that you said in the video. This is a fine combination even in 2021.

Still use my X-e2s with 18-55mm lens had it from new and love it. Great videos 👍

[JoshuAhillyarD]

I have the x-e2s and often pair it with the 18 f2 or 35 f2. There something special about the rendering. I don't feel like I'm losing any image quality in comparison to my xt30. The biggest difference is the AF, but not a big deal as I don't shoot sports. I love both cameras equally.

This is handsdown one of the best combos in Fuji. I sold mine and went to the X-70 because I wanted to go wider, but this is still my favourite combo, with some of my favourite straight out of camera looks.

What film simulation did you use for the greenish photo of the bus that you show twice? Don’t buy into the hype of the x100v and GR111. I had the GR111. It’s slow to focus and very fiddly to use so I got rid of it. Love your video
