Hi, I am Cris, a commercial, travel and street photographer ....tech lover. English is a struggle, but I am getting there.
So, here you'll find a bunch of casual reviews, camera tutorials, tech talks, real life tests and so on. I love sharing my thoughts with you and get feedback.
Should you subscribe? If you enjoy a casual talk video, unscripted (most of the time), sometimes full of "uuuh" and weird faces, well I bet you're going to find value in it. I'd love to have you here, this community is about sharing and learning. Am I biased? Like anyone else, but my bias will never affect my judgement.
So, if you enjoy the content please consider SUBSCRIBING, if not CHEERS and THANK YOU for watching.
It seems that single shot-single point autofocus is decent and continuous is unusable. It would be interesting to know how thick you need your DOF for a subject walking toward you on a 35mm equivalent focal for a full body environmental set of shots… The appeal of the GFX is also the DOF-Bokeh, but if you are limited in the contexts you can use it… it is a problem. I’m going to rent one to test with the 55 f1.7 I think…
I've been watching your more recent videos and came across this somewhat older review of this incredible lens. I was fortunate to get one native to the Fujifilm platform. For whatever reason, if I sell my Fuji gear for a new kit, this will be a lens I have to have, or its latest autofocus version. Great seeing how far your channel and presentation has grown, but one thing is consistent - your excellent photos and composition.
Thank you for the video. Keep. Up the good work. It's hard to make Vidoes with not many follower but I like the way you make your Vidoes. I'm sure if you continue and post weekly you'll reach many people ❤🎉
Chris, when I view a still photo on the camera I want ONE histogram. I can't get rid of the FOUR histograms currently shown (red, blue, green, white.) How can I get just one white histogram in play-back mode?
Hi Cris, thanks for the informative video. I have read that the FTZ adapter has no aperture coupler. How is it metering with an Ai or AIS lens? Thanks.
Hi Chris ! I'm unearthing this a bit! I'm mostly shooting film and want to start going digital soon as I'd to do a bit of professional work soon, mainly street/fashion lookbooks. I highly prefer small rangefinder like cameras and was interested in the xpro/xe lines. Xpro 1 is said to be too slow and maybe the resolution is not high enough for print, so I'm considering xpro2/xe3 now, do you think xe3 could do it ? Even though people might think a small camera can't do the work.... thanks for your feedback!
Absolutely. I used the XE3 for many projects. Probably not sports of fast action tho it’s not lacking much behind, but depending on your projects I think you should give it a try. If video is not a requirement, XPro2 and XT3 are still workhorses for many.
(Commenting on a now 2-year old video 😊): I bought a Nikon D300 less than 6 months ago. For one : I have no money 😂. But in all seriousness, the D300 has a great reputation and still takes great photos. Looking to improve my photography skills and get a few decent lenses before considering buying a new or at least more recent body.
I have used it - its compatible with my Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 but doesnt work with Nikon 50mm f1.8, Nikon 70-210 F2.8 or Sigma 105mm F2.8 . So no you cant adapt lenses. Its frankly a total disaster.
Hi Cris, fantastic video. I plan to upgrade to Z system from D750. I have the Tamron 70-200mm G2. Could you please detail the performance of the lens when adapter.
Hi. I just got an X-t10. Yes, in 2023! I got a Samurai DSLR Mc digital 52mm 0.5 wide lens with Macro lens with it. I'm trying to figure out what adapter or other accessories do you I need to attach it to my camera. Would you please help me? Thank you!
AF-D auto focus doesn’t work with the adapter. Nikon lost me as a mirrorless customer at that point. Bought a used D810 and possibly if I need a replacement I may even trade up for Sony A7iii which is incredibly cheap compared to a Z6ii
I just got this camera and I love the size of it. I've tried a couple of recipes, but the output doesn't look so good like yours. I dug a little deeper and realized that the X-M1 has a unique oddity: it has a first generation X-Trans sensor, but a second generation image processor (EXR II processor). It seems like this camera compares to the X-Trans II with the JPGs. What's your experience? Did you have to tweak the recipes a little bit, or use the X-Trans II recipes? If so, can you share your settings for them? Thanks! 🙌😊
Im not sure about Fujis Auto focus, my friend and I shoot weddings with Fuji and the 16-55mm give us the worst results especially in backlit situations the lens seems to back focus a lot. the 50-140mm is better but the only reason we persist using Fuji apart from being cheaper compared to FF is because of the very capable & sharp primes 18mm, 33mm and the 56mm WR these are terrific, there not perfect the Auto focus still stuffs occasionally but they perform a lot better even compared with some of the Fullframe lenses i had when i was still using Canon.
I don’t ever pay for purchased apps and trying to determine if this app is worth the money to be my first pair for app. If I’m not a photographer but interested in this app, is it worth the $6.99 price? I take pictures but not a photographer by any means.I also like weather apps so with that being said can you share any advice or input if it would be worth a shot for myself? Can I benefit from it not being a photographer? Thank you!
What I like the most of my X100T is its ability to guarantee great shots with perfect whites and colours in JPEG mode. I haven't used it often, but took it out yesterday and am really amazed once again!
