Want more flexibility in your focal length? Pick 3 of the lenses below or collect the whole set, add a compact body (or two), and call it a day. I’d go Dura Black if I was going to though, and I almost did. It’s probably not right for you either, but the people who it is right for know who they are, and the X-Pro3 will make them very happy. That has a big impact on my camera/viewfinder choice.Īs I wrote in early March, the Fujifilm made some choices that resulted in the X-Pro going from being my desert island camera to a camera that’s not right for me in a single generation. I’m shooting landscape more, and street less these days. This, in part, comes down to what I’m shooting. It always feels so great in the hand when I pick it up, but-as I mentioned in my X-T3 review-in recent months, I’ve really liked having a larger viewfinder that shows me what I’m going to get. Readers of this site might be surprised to see my old favourite so low on the list.
If you’re interested in something smaller, I’d lean towards the X-T30, unless budget is a concern, or you really prefer the rangefinder style. The lack of a D-pad, and what is surely end of life firmware status would give me pause. I suspect it won’t be long before these join the X-T2, X-H1, and X-Pro2 in Discontinued status. At $500 USD it’s an affordable, and now the only way to get into the Fujifilm ecosystem with their 3rd generation imaging. Previous generation tech at previous generation prices. It’s the most compact body that contains Fuji’s latest imaging tech, is likely to see some firmware support, and costs even less than an X-T3. The X-T30 is the first camera most people should look at. At $500 less than the X-T4 on sale, this is the camera I’d suggest still photographers purchase, unless they want something smaller, and don’t mind a drop in feature-set. It features the best still image quality Fuji has to offer, and is the camera I still personally use since I’m not much of a videographer, and for the video I do capture, the X-T3 suits me just fine. Moving up the list thanks to sales and bonus grip incentives, the X-T3 is a solid refinement of the X-T2, which itself was already an outstanding camera. It doesn’t come cheap though, and if you aren’t intending to do much in the way of video, or you have no use for a flip out screen, you can save a bunch of cash. It’s the camera I recommend to to anyone who wants the best image quality Fujifilm has to offer, and has any sort of video needs be it standard or vlogging. It may be the single best do everything camera.

#Fuji 27mm vs 35mm manual#
They're fully manual lenses, so if you aren't already comfortable with manual this may be a bit of an annoyance. They're built out of metal and feel solid and robust. Meike is a great brand IMO, however, I view them more as an art lens. It's honestly a great all-around street lens and everyday carry lens. The aperture is controlled on the camera body. It's pretty quick to focus too which is nice. The lens is slightly louder than others for focusing, but unless you're doing video you won't care about that. If you're going for discrete or small, the 27mm is SUPER tiny and great. So I have experience with the Meike 35mm 1.7 and the Fuji27mm 2.8
