In this long podcast episode Don & Olivier go over the Fuji X system cameras, asking if they can give the rangefinder experience, the settings they use & more. Cameras covered: Xpro1, Xe1, Xt1, X20
Clarification:
– Metabones HAS Speedboosters for the X system, but there’s no M mount speed booster for any system 🙁
– The Fuji X20 is a 2/3rd sensor, not 1/1.7

Metabones already has the speed booster for the X system. http://www.metabones.com/products/?c=x-mount
Shoot forgot to say M speed booster >< Thanks for this!
Great podcast guys, sounding good!
Thanks dude!
Awesome podcast guys!. I just love Don´s rants about gear. keep up the great work.
Thanks Chris! Don’t mind him….he’s subject to change in one second 🙂
Hey, guys! I was just listening to the podcast, and wanted to make a quick comment. I think Oliver commented that the X20 was a 1/1.7 sensor. It’s really a much bigger 2/3″ sensor. So, yeah, it’s a bigger camera. But like Don said: get pants with bigger pockets! 🙂
Otherwise, right on the money! The Fuji’s are great cameras! And the podcast is a lot of fun! Keep it up!
Woot, thanks for this. Still a far cry from APSC though 🙂
Nice podcast, having not been into Fujifilm cameras before I picked up the XT1 , coming from a M8 mainly for the higher ISO. My shooting style hasn’t changed that much, I still keep my left eye open to see what is approaching, so the hump is a non issue coming from a rangefinder. What did surprise me was the quality of glass, as Don said the Fuji glass is excellent, I have the 23mm, 35mm and a 56mm on its way.
The XT1 feels good in my hand and the thumb bump reminds me of the thumbs-up I had on the M8.
Now that’s a statement. You are probably the first I know of who says they like the Xt1 coming from a rangefinder 😉
Great discussion the X system. I agree with Olivier’s feeling that the X20 is just too big for a relatively small sensor camera. I guess that’s why he likes the Panasonic LF-1 so much. 🙂 Personally, I love the LX-7 but doubt there will ever be a successor. Thanks again, guys.
I’m a simple guy: small sensor=jean pocket 🙂
