![]() ![]() Here are the things we love about the Fuji X-Pro 2. ![]() So we feel we’ve got to know the cameras reasonably well in some, at times, pretty challenging conditions including some difficult lighting scenarios and feel we’ve put the camera through its paces enough to start to form one or two opinions. Fuji xpro 2 used full#Now obviously the Fuji X-Pro2 hasn’t been out that long yet and so we haven’t had the chance to put it through the rigours of a full wedding season where some of those inevitable hidden flaws might reveal themselves but we’ve now shot a fair few weddings with them (for most of which Dom has been using the X-Pro’s exclusively) and also had them permanently hanging from our necks over two weeks in Cuba. The Fuji X-Pro2 is definitely more discrete than your average DSLR and allowed us to get much closer to the subjects than we would otherwise have achieved. We’ve interspersed this review with some examples of street photography shots we captured with the Fuji X-Pro2 during our recent Cuba trip, and late on some shots from a couple of recent weddings. We use (and love) each of these cameras for different reasons and for different circumstances but, like everyone else, we’re always dreaming of that one magical camera that just works exactly the way we want it to, and here’s the headline – the Fuji X-Pro 2 is undoubtedly the closest we’ve gotten so far. We’ve also just sold our Nikon D750 – another great camera but one that (for reasons we don’t have time to get into in this already fairly lengthy article) we found just wasn’t the one for us.Īlongside the Canon gear though Dom often uses her Fuji X-T1 (until it gets dark when its comparative lack of low-light capabilities starts to show) and Liam uses the Leica M240 which he adores but that also suffers from one-or two limitations that prevent him adopting it as his sole camera body. Our primary cameras for many years now have generally been our long-suffering Canon 5D MkIII’s – a good all-rounder with some beautiful lenses and interesting colour tones but a camera that is, let’s face it, starting to show its age a little and is far from perfect. Up until now we have been using a selection of different cameras at weddings for various different reasons. The Fuji X-Pro2 is not our first Fuji camera, we have two Fuji X-T1’s and an Fuji X100, all of which we have a lot of affection for but the Fuji X-Pro2 is the first Fuji (and indeed the first mirrorless camera) that made us start to think that maybe this can be our main wedding camera, not just an addition… Fuji xpro 2 used manual#We’ve spent as much time in dark rooms as Lightroom examining images to within an inch of their life and for us we don’t necessarily mind a little grain if it feels right for that image, we don’t necessarily mind if not everything is absolutely pin sharp but we do care about those choices being ours rather than the camera’s.Īll of our cameras are permanently set to fully manual with the exception of using autofocus most (but not all) of the time. Fuji xpro 2 used professional#We’ve been professional photographers for over 10 years now but we’ve been fascinated with photography most of our lives and over the years we’ve tried (and owned) a lot of different cameras both film and digital. ![]() We are Dom and Liam of York Place Studios. And so, before flying out for our long-arranged street trip to Cuba in March, we scoured the inter-webs and (after much searching amongst some seriously high demand) managed to purchase ourselves two brand new Fuji X-Pro2’s to take with us on our travels.Īfter publishing the images we took on our trip, along with a few samples from trying them out at weddings, we received a lot of messages asking about our thoughts on the camera and whether this was indeed the perfect Fujifilm street and wedding camera so we thought we’d write a little review on the Fuji X-Pro 2 to put together our thoughts on using latest flagship. On the face of it the camera had everything we were looking for, certainly in a street photography camera and perhaps for weddings too. The Fuji X-Pro 2 recently burst onto the scene, hailed by some as a game-changer if not the best street photography camera of the year.Īs wedding and street photographers ourselves we have been considering our next move in the camera market for quite some time and, from a pre-release read of the camera’s specs, the Fuji X-Pro2 swiftly grabbed our attention. ![]()
