I Finally Got My DREAM Street Photography Camera!

[@Narsuitus]

In the digital era, I used the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 APS-C mirrorless while I waited for Leica to make a digital rangefinder that I liked. When Leica finally produced the Leica M10, I bought my dream camera. I loved being able to use my 21/35/90mm M6 lens kit on my M10. However, I really prefer using my X-Pro2 with 16/23/56mm lenses.

That’s awesome to hear, it’s crazy that there’s an actual contest between a Fuji and a Leica.

[@ChrisBrogan]

I really loved your sense of humor. You got a new subscriber just because of your Leica joke at the start. :)

[@TheBenGoren]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m glad you subscribed (compliments about jokes I’ve written are the best ones)

[@osjo69]

[@simonrockstream]

Completely agree with your thoughts, well said stuff. You're a funny guy, super good vibes keep it up :D Lovely video

[@TheBenGoren]

Wow, thank you!

[@daviwies11]

I am a Leica shooter and I was laughing a lot about your jokes - GREAT video and I will subscribe and like now. Keep going and THANKS. Greetings from Switzerland

[@TheBenGoren]

So glad to hear, thank you 🙏🏻

[@RohamBroccoli]

Just got myself a mint X-pro2🤩

[@TheBenGoren]

Great to hear, enjoy it, it’s an amazing camera!

[@RandumbTech]

My first Fujifilm camera was the X100V. My second was the XPro3. Sold the X100V for the VI then immediately sold the VI. Truth be told the Xpro3 stopped me from using the V, so truly had no reason to pick up the VI. But all said and done the Xpro is the one I couldn’t bring myself to sell because it’s just a way more practical and fun Camera. I forgot to mention I owned an M11 while owning all of those other cameras 😅. I no longer have any Fuji cameras, but the only one I do miss and still think about is the Xpro 3. At some point, you may want to try manual focus lenses on that body, Voigtlander, or M mount. I used the native Voigtlander lenses, and some actual M mount lenses because I I was using the leica side-by-side with the Xpro and knew I would eventually make the transition. Enjoy that Camera, I truly think it’ll be a unicorn camera one day.

You make me want to leave everything and go shoot with it right now, thanks for the comment, I am really hoping that I will fall in love with this camera and shoot street with it for years to come.

[@ChrisBrogan]

I had a similar-ish journey. I started with the VI and sold it immediately back, only I got the X-T5. Funny how a bunch of us seem to have done this.

[@lamaludwig1470]

Leica is pronounced like "like" and then "a" like in "Art" - I also own the X-Pro3 and love it,. prefer the 33/1.4 though.

[@TheBenGoren]

I can understand why Most people would prefer the 33 but I still love the “character” of the 35 too much.

[@lamaludwig1470]

@@TheBenGoren understandable!

[@actionimagesphotography]

There's many more photo groups to fall into than just two. Maybe for your age group but the world of photography ( and photographers ) is huge and varied.

[@TheBenGoren]

You are 100% correct, but this is a KZbin video, my friend. You can't start a video with "There are many kinds of photographers, here are two of them..."

[@jmro7]

Thanks for your opinion! How much did you pay for it ?

[@TheBenGoren]

I paid 1400 USD, for one in a very good condition.

[@iranmas_artistic_vision]

Thanks for the video, colleague. Interestingly, I was obsessed with megapixels and focusing speed and those things, but I've always had this old desire for vintage gear, maybe because of my age (42 hehe), and I'm really thinking about buying a vintage lens like the Helios 44-2 or the original German Carl Zeiss 58mm f/2 and using it with my Sony camera. So, I consider myself part of the first group too. Keep up the good work

[@TheBenGoren]

Thanks!, Vintage lenses can really add a unique character to your photography. Excited to hear what you'll think about the Helios or Zeiss!

[@shotsbymrslow]

Loved your humour!

[@TheBenGoren]

That's the best compliment to hear 🙏🏻

[@ToyoteroMundial]

I use the Canon Powershot G15, for street photography.

[@TheBenGoren]

Sounds awesome, it's small and compact and can really shine as a street camera

[@DanAllouche]

Nice one mate, keep it up! Btw that Fuji 35mm without the square hood is a crime and should be banned from existence

[@TheBenGoren]

We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one ;)

[@khangtranstation]

I want an xpro3 but the prices are too ridiculous

[@TheBenGoren]

completely agree, that's why I've been searching for months for an "ok" price, but you can buy the amazing X-Pro2 for much less these days or wait for the pro4 that will be coming out soon.

[@martingreenberg870]

@@TheBenGoren The XPRO2/3 are cult cameras. I hope you are right about the price dropping when the XPRO4 is released next year. I’m not counting on that. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@TheBenGoren]

@martingreenberg870 I’m really hoping it will, but it won’t be a big drop in price that’s why I bought mine without waiting for next year

[@WilsonGomez]

There is two type of photographer, those that get paid and those that don't, The Sony A1 took photo of the year at Trump assassination failed by Doug Mills. X100V is a Vibe, not a work horse

[@TheBenGoren]

I agree but, there are still street photographers that get paid doing it, and use film cameras or manual cameras and not the latest and greatest camera technology.
