Watching you in 2023. I own GFX50R and STILL the images that come from my trusted X-Pro better looking!

Just picked up an XPro1. Can’t wait. Have tons of vintage glass (M39, M42, & FD). Great video!

I bought the Xpro1 in 2012. I was going to buy a Leica M6, but I met a senior guy from Fuji at a wedding and he said Fuji will discontinue file production soon. That tipped my decision. Love the camera and pixels are cheaper than film too. Very good honest review.

I'm 4yrs in with my xpro1 and I must say that I love it! Whenever I go to do some street photography I also chose the xpro1 over my xt1 and sony a7iii. Granted I dnt have any automatic lens, so idk about the auto focus but the vintage lens + the xpro1 is amazing! I cnt forget the shutter noise, the color from this camera, then the analog controls. This camera have landed me in 2 magazines and received a high praise from a professional in a competition. Even though I didn't place.

Really nice picture samples! That is what I want to see when people reviewing a camera or lens. Thanks!

This is the best. Yoyr photography is literally the best I've seen

It’s tempting to say that a great photographer can make any camera look good, but I totally agree with your assessment of the camera and love your images. Great photos and review!

Great shots 😍
The Xpro one is still a favourite of mine.

Great video, I have owned my X-pro1 for 6 years and love it, I still reach for it when I don't need a fast auto focusing camera, I do own the XH-1 which is awesome but the X-pro 1 with the much maligned 18mm original lens is just incredible for landscape and even some street shooting, It slows my photography down in a positive way.

I got an Х-М1. Same sensor, same mount, a lot smaller than x-pro1. Love everything about it. And the tilted screen!

Hi. This was great to discover :-) I also bought this one about five years ago, together with two lenses: 27 mm 2.8 and 18 mm 2.0. Always used it for travel photography, just recently in studio (don't ask me why I didn't do this Bought recently the 56 mm 1.2 R APD. Fenomenal ! Was thinking of buying a newer Fuji, but will wait now :-))

Great video mate! I have the XE 1 which has the same sensor as the xpro 1 but at half the cost. So for anyone who is to cheap to buy the xpro and doesn't mind the lack of the OVF: get the XE 1! It's my favourit camera ever and just perfect for everyday photography

[rgersh]

Wow, your photos are absolutely amazing! Just beautiful... Thank you!

[trappedindc]

Just ordered one of these. I’m still shooting film also and prefer how photos look on film vs digital. That why my Nikon D700 gets used way more than my D810 to the point where I’m probably selling the 810. I have the XT4, Xpro3 and X100v. Love them all but forcing a film look on them doesn’t quite get there. So the Xpro1 is going to be my EDC camera. Cheers.

Cool stuff! Bought the XP1 in december 2020. had the 35/1.4 coming with the cam. Great combo. Recently picked up the 35/2 for half nothing and wow AF is fast and noiseless. Defo gave the old lady a kick up the AF butt. While the 35/1.4 is a great lens I must admitt I dig the f2 version. Smaller, faster and silent. Paired with the 1st sensor the pictures have a special look to them, less clinical and sharp, their own look really. I like it a lot.
Also 3rd party lenses with x mount are a consideration, smaller in size then the vintage glass incl adapter. Tried the 7Artisans 35/1.2 from a friend, wow what a match to the XP1, small, cool retro looking and images have an old school look to it. Very nice!
Cheers from Switzerland

Absolutely brilliant 👏 !! Amazing pictures!! You've nailed them. A very good reminder that a good photographer can make any camera look good. In this day and age for seeking happiness by burning money, I like to always remember that there have been great photographers in the past when they shot with a pinhole camera or a film. I'll be following all your videos.

Stumbled onto your video. Didn’t realize the XPro1 has acquired such a status. It’s been sitting at the back of my dry box, untouched for years!

[kimchikidbear]

I often struggle finding one’s videos that have great images that they took with this camera. I’m so glad to have found this channel. I can look at what this camera can really do rather than some ‘around the house’ type photos. No offense to them but this sensor can be pushed to great lengths and your photos show just that

[peterfaehnrich]

Sir, you and serr, something special, here on YouTube, thank you!

Nice Dan Mumford poster.
I like the photos too, good stuff.
