Truth speaks volumes and is so attractive. Not a landscape photographer but you have my sub.

Xe1 and xe2 were the best throughout cameras Fuji put on the market form factor size in hand feel full control a point and shoot interchangeable lens camera I wish for a modernised xe2 in the xe5 26mp latest software from xt5 it would be perfect till then I'll enjoy my xe2 and xpro1

vintage lenses are so fun. and i m not even just talking about the ''known'' good ones. that go for quite high prices. but really just random lenses you have never heard about. sometimes you can pick up lenses for pretty much free and you never know what you will get before you review the photos. sometimes you find real gems in there. like today i was picking up a broken old used analog camera for 5 bucks but it had a 55m 1.8 on it i never even heard about at all. but its m42 mount and easy to adapt, lets try and do some gambling. worst case scenario: i payed 5 buckes for a decorative camera to put on a shelf.

It would have been nice to have heard some comments about the quality of the prints or even shown them otherwise its a pretty pointless video except to promote Kodak's new toy. They missed a trick by not allowing internal storage, you cant share a moment when you've only got one print.

Chris Orange welcome back.

I started with Fuji a few years ago when the X-E4 was released. Purely for the form factor and to try X-Trans sensor. Two years ago a got an excellent condition X-E1 on eBay for AU$250 (US$160) as nobody else bid on it. I now use it mainly set on B&W and just keep things simple with a Brighten Star 35mm f0.95 lens. The only issue is that focus with manual lenses is a bit tricky as focus peaking on the X-E1 is all but useless compared to the later models

Thanks for sharing! I wanted to learn photography. So I got a used Sony A7s2. Then lens I got with it was damaged. I thought buying a zoom lens would help me practice diversely with different focal lengths. Bought the Tamron 24-70 f2.8. The thing is I don't keep my camera with me. I should have got a fixed focal length lens (which would have also been smaller) and a smaller camera so that I can keep this handy with me always. I need to practice more and more. The setup I have currently I just don't carry with me. Keeping in mind I want to click pictures in low light during evening and night after office, please share some suggestions for a body and lens to have with me everyday.

on my xt-4 when i turn on the camera tels me turn camera off then back on and i have to do that 3 or 4 time for it to work and it will say it some times when i am shooting as well

New subscriber here, Chris, great video! Trying to get put of my Nikon D7000 system and thought I'd settled on the X-T20 (after choking on the price - €570!). Then I saw this video... just for fun I looked up the X-E1 on MPB. Still coughing a bit seeing €469. Recovering from a serious stroke and lightweight is essential and, like you, looking for B&W ideally without Lr-type post-editing. Would you still recommend the X-E1. based on this info? Looking forward to your coming videos.

Glad to see you keeping in touch with your Fuji side - I have an XT2, XE2 & an X10 - Just got an Sirui Sniper 23 1.2 AF lens which I am using on my XE2 - It is sooo sharp and has lovely bokeh - worth checking out 😀

Congrats on re-aquiring the XE1! If you don't mind, where did you find it and how much did you pay? Unfortunately these prices continue to creep upwards. Thanks😊

Hi Chris. You made a great video earlier about black and white photography on your X-E1. Remember that you came across the different "color" filters and which colors became darker and lighter in the black and white photos. I learned a lot from that. Thanks for that and good luck with your "new" camera. I'm still holding on to my old X-E1 myself. Greetings from Denmark.

My first Fujifilm camera was the original X100 and after owning many Fuji camera's over the years it still remains my favorite Fujifilm camera. I wish I never sold it as the people that have them for sale now days feel they are sitting on a gold mine and want to much. Now a Leica shooter..

Lifesaver! Thank you so much :)

Thanks for this video. As I mentioned previously I bought 2 X-T1’s based on your encouragement several months ago and still have them but I tried to push myself into using my X-E4 with Voigtlander because it seemed like a good setup, small camera with camera/lens communication but it just doesn’t feel that great in my hands. Based on this video you got me thinking maybe X-E1 is the answer and after checking the market I got out one of my X-T1’s again and there was the wonderful feeling I’ve been missing. I’m willing to give up the camera/lens communication. The X-T1 fits me perfectly and thanks to you I now understand I don’t need any of the technical advances beyond what I get with the X-T1.

I was lucky to get an XE4 a year back in near mint condition. Love it. Combo it with the Fuji 27mm pancake or a nice Zeiss m42 mount. So much character.

just bought myself a secondhand XE1 and absolutely loving it !

Fuji's older cameras were always hidden gems. Its a shame their prices keep going up. I missed using a xe2 and pro2 after I moved over to Leica. I ended up re-buying a Xpro2 again because as much as I love my MP240, theres something about the XPro2 colours which Leica can't match up too.

I traded my XE1 last year because the XE1 selling market was so good, but till shooting an XT10 (xtrans2).

you're spot on with your breakdown...I have sold large prints of my images that I took with the original X100...and I the images were taken at night. I now shoot with the the x-t30 which I love.

He’s back! Let’s hav it!

I had the xe3 but ended up selling it... i loved the size and images from it. But didnt like that i had to swipe the screen to change ISO and other settings. I dont like the xe4, im hoping the xe1 or xe2 would be a better fit. I agree the BW images from these cameras are phenomenal.

XE4 since it came out for me

I am on the same boat: collect too many vintage fujifilm cameras -> sold some (or all in your case) because of feeling guilty or tiresome -> miss vintage fuji cameras -> bought more vintage fuji cameras

I love my X-M1 and like, a fair bit, my X-E4. Trying out the Lumix S9 at the moment but it doesn't have the fun or flair the Fujifilms have.

There's a lot wrong with them. The focussing was broken in today's terms. The image quality was good in a certain light range. If it was too bright, the colours would look like bad HDR. The form factor was great. If you had them set to bracketing, you would probably only get one or two brackets before they siezed up while it processed and flushed the buffer. The oldest Fuji I would go for would be the X-Pro2. The image quality is good, the colours don't look strange in hard light and the focussing is good enough. The colours were more slide like than film like. Later Fuji look more like colour negative film. I don't think the ergonomics of the X-Pro2 were bettered on any other fuji.

What did you pay for it as the Fujifilm lately seems to be high and Fuji are responsible for this by holding stock back

Fujifilm = Happy YT Algorithm. Isn't it the factor?

This channel is back to life for me.. 🎉❤ Fujifilm ROCKS!! 😎👌🏼

Love this, my X E1 is still one of my favorites with all the gear I own. Great video and fully aligned on everything said here. 🎉

Your GAS is worse than mine 😂

I have a x-m1 coming in the mail. There is a film recipe that I love in the older x-m1 and x20/30 that just doesn't work for me in other Fuji cameras

Are there still people who like using the Fujifilm X-E1 paired with the 27mm F2.8 lens?!

Still one of my favorite cameras of all time

Blimey, this came up on my youtube suggestions and I was really surprised as I had gone out and bought a used XE1 and XT1 back when you did your original youtube videos on them.. i still have mine, but I have the silver XE1 and probably it wasn't as new looking as yours but I still love it. Nice to know there will be some new adventures with the fuji's to watch... thank you.

X-E3 for me.

Welcome back to fujifilm

Fab 👍I had a X-E2 loved it I miss Fuji just so expensive these days probably for good reason enjoy Chris 😁

Good choice! X-Trans 1 is great. I love my x-Pro1. Have fun! (again😉)

I've had mine for a short while. It's the third X-E I've owned (3, 4, and 1), and for me, it's the best. I love the size, the sensor is excellent, and the Fuji philosophy from the beginning of the X system: all UI based on buttons and dials. The AF is terrible, and I always keep it in M mode and use back button focus. Paired with the Fuji 27mm pancake lens, it's the camera that always competes with my GR3 to see which one goes out for a walk.

I blame you and Mike Brown for my Fujifilm addiction, It was Mike who first highlighted the virtues of the X-T1 (which I have two) I then found your channel and have since added the X-T2, X-E1, 3 x X-M1, X-A5 converted to IR and the X-T4 plus multiple prime lenses. The X-M1 I confess was an investment opportunity as i purchased them cheap on MPB. They will now buy them back for twice I paid but decided to hold on for now. So glad you went for the X-E1 mine is a rare white and black model.

Got myself a X-E1 with the kit lens back in October 2023 for the same reasons you got another one; shooting film-like black and white pictures. I'm earning my living with several Canon DSLRs, but the X-E1 is here just for fun. Bought a couple of prime lenses (16, 23 en 35mm) to experiment. If you happen to have some nice recipes for b/w shots, I'm in!

Nobody talks about Fujifilm cameras quite like you Chris. Long may it continue.

i have the X-e1, but at this point, i want the X-m1

You sold all fujifilm cameras system and you buy again buy..

Released in 2012, remarkable it’s so relevant to so many photographers in 2024.

Anyone can take fantastic images on any camera! But it´s ok, go a head a buy something new, if that will make you feel better. 😎

have the XE2 and 18mm F2 and 35mm F2. Still a fun little camera.

I bought one a few weeks ago, haven’t had the 16mp sensor since I traded my x100T a couple of years ago. I thought I’d be using it with a 7 or Tt artisan or the odd vintage but surprisingly what I’m really happiest with is the Samyang 75 AF. Peaking isn’t very good on the X-E1 either which can make using the manuals a bit of a pain too which has made me appreciate how good the old sensor is with the AF lenses. Have fun! Steve

Welcome home chris!
