Since I received it a couple of days ago, I thought I'd share a few shots I took today. I was able to make a small deviation on the way home to try it out. There's no particular story in these street shots—just experimentation to get familiar with Fuji/this camera.
A few notes:
• Over the past couple of years, I've primarily used the GR IIIx and A7CR.
• These were not developed in Lightroom but used in-camera “recipes” (size was reduced and ImageOptim used to facilitate embedding here). It's very unusual for me to not use Lightroom.
• I am 100% new to Fuji, so I mostly just played on my way home with zone focusing (unusual to use medium format for street photography...) and recipes to experiment and see how I can handle it on the fly.
Quick impressions:
Very fun to use. Leaf shutter, like on the Ricoh, is a joy. Do I miss the rendering of a Voigtlander 40 mm f1.2 or 28 mm f1.5? Sure. And their apertures? Sure again. Could I use IBIS? Perhaps, like 10% of the time. But is it very fun and has a good feeling when walking around? Yes. Absolutely. This easily feels like the most fun camera I've used, from an old analog Yashica to digital Canon or Panasonic.
