Fujifilm X100 Digital Camera Review

[f/2] I really like the new kit lens on the Fujifilm X-T50, but I wanted to have the kind of low profile and mobility that the X100 VI provides. The Fujifilm 27mm pancake lens was back ordered, so having reading rave reviews of the Voightlander Ultron lens, I decided to get it instead. The quality of the lens construction is exceptional. And it takes high quality images. I wasn't sure how I'd be with the manual focus, but I've discovered that I really like using it. I'm using this lens just as often as I use the zoom kit lens that came with the X-T50. Highly recommended!

[Independent] My charger for the Fujifilm X100 stopped working and I went to B&H to replace it. The sales person that helped me offered me a choice between this charger or the Fuji charger. The price was less than half the cost, but I hesitated since I thought it best to stick with Fuji. However, being on a tight budget convinced me to give it a try. I'm really happy because it works perfectly. I really don't buy generic for photography equipment, but I'm glad I did this time. Big savings.

[0.06 lb] This battery is the one that's appropriate for the Fujifilm x100v. Earlier versions in the x100 series used a smaller, less powerful battery that didn't last very long. The NP-W126S lasts much longer and can be used for many more shots -- or so I've read. But it's always wise to a couple of back-ups for all day jobs. Thus my purchase.

[Supercardioid] It works better in both iPhone and Fujifilm X 100 V than my previous Rode mic. It does need an adapter for the x100 V. The auto on off feature is great.

[Yes] I bought this tripod to support my new FujiFilm GFX 50sii digital medium format camera. I was replacing an older model Gitzo aluminum tripod with a ball head. I have used the Manfrotto Befree a few times in cold weather (I live in British Columbia, Canada) and it has held up well in the snow. I am surprised by how light and compact this tripod is, given the maximum payload. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

[Leica M] I recently decided to go back to using a digital Leica (M-262) as my primary camera. I was able to afford the purchase by selling my FujiFilm digital kit. To be honest, my cameras were several years old and getting a little long in the tooth. I figured I should sell them before they were worth pennies. I still own a Leica M6 35mm film camera and the most amazing FujiFilm X-100F digital camera. I already own two Leica lenses, a 1970 50mm f2 Summicron and a 90mm 2.4 Summarit. I felt the need for a faster lens. I already owned the Voigtlander 35mm 1.4 Nokton Classic which has great image and build quality so I eagerly awaited the release of the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm 1.2. This lens was anticipated to be an amazing alternative to the very expensive Leica 50mm lenses. I purchased my lens from B&H Photo in New York. I have always had good luck purchasing from them as they are very trustworthy and reputable. My Lens arrived new and amazingly well constructed as I expected. I do wish the lens came with the matching hood and maybe a dust pouch or bag. It just came in standard protective box and packaging (yawn). I think they are missing the mark by not adding some updated presentation packaging. I have found the lens to be very sharp and has a very nice Bokeh. Any lack of sharpness has been caused by being out of practice with the manual focus rangefinder, my eyes starting to age, astigmatism in my dominant eye and my now use of the dreaded spectacles. I am amazed at the image quality and construction of the Voigtlander. I have owned many 50mm lenses from different manufacturers to include the Canon 50mm L 1.2 and I have to say that this little guy (Voigtlander) takes the cake. It has amazing character to it.

[Aluminum] Must have for either X Pro series or X100 series.

[NTSC/PAL] I first jumped into the x100 line with a used F version and that camera went everywhere with me. I thought it was the camera they would bury me with....until I bought the x100v. To say the lens is an improvement would be underselling. It is a massive upgrade in sharpness and quality. The tilt screen is a nice change from the fixed one and the slight design changes make it feel better in the hand. Fats focusing and really clean images at the high ISO settings. I have no issue being inside and setting it at 6400 and going from there.

[Shoulder Strap] This was purchased to tote my newly acquired Fujifilm XE-1 digital camera. The thing I like most about Billingham bags is the feel of the canvas cloth used in them. It's not the coarse, scratchy ballistic nylon that most bags are made of, but more like fine twill, very rugged, but smooth to the touch. The leather work is exceptional as well. The closest thing to a negative I could think of is that getting the velcro dividers positioned is a bit tricky, but I found using a large index card would allow me to get them placed where I wanted them. I then slipped the card out and pressed the velcro to the interior and the problem was solved.

[Shoe Mount] I love this camera it is the best of the best for a digital camera.
