Even if it means the camera is slightly bigger and heavier than the current X100V, I believe many Fujifilm photographers are willing to put up with the compromise, especially to get IBIS. Ultimately I would love for Fujifilm to make a camera similar to the Leica Q2: an all-in-one fast aperture (f/1.4) leaf shutter equipped camera with a wide-angle lens with either IBIS or OIS. ![]() ![]() I will continue to test and shoot with the X-S10 and XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR as my EDC camera kit for the next couple of weeks. There was almost no adjustment period for me to get used to this combination. ![]() Most of the images in this article I captured on my first day out with the X-S10 and XF18mm f/1.4. I’m willing to put up with the extra weight for superior IQ and professional build quality. For me, that extra stop is very useful, not only for subject isolation but also for low-light photography. However, for some, carrying the extra weight of the XF18mm f/1.4 over the XF18mm f/2 isn’t worth the extra stop of speed, improved IQ and autofocus speed. In addition, the XF18mm f/1.4 has beautiful starbursts when stopped down to f/5.6, something that the Leica Q2 struggles with. In terms of overall image quality, the XF18mm f/1.4 is one of Fujifilm’s sharpest lenses with minimal distortion and chromatic aberration. Yes the Leica Q2 can get to 17cm, but the lens stops down to f/2.8 in macro mode, while the Fujifilm can maintain the f/1.4 even at minimum focus distance and still be razor-sharp. I appreciate the decent 17cm close focus capabilities, great for capturing flowers or for product photography. In my full review of the XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR, I detailed my favourite features of this lens. Overall, the ergonomics and functionality of the articulating screen and front grip helped improve my shooting experience with the X-S10 over the Leica Q2. However, having the large grip on the X-S10 helps me forget about the extra weight, and the fully articulating screen helps me get shots that would be impossible with a fixed LCD screen. In addition, the fixed lens design of the Q2 helps keep the weight down. However, the Leica Q2 has a non-articulating LCD screen and no front grip. As a comparison, the Leica Q2 weighs 718g, which is impressive considering it also has IBIS and a full-frame sensor. However, you are getting a fast wide-angle prime, as well as a body with a large grip, a fully articulating screen and IBIS. This kit weighs in at 835g, so it’s not lightweight. The X-S10 body balances nicely with the XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR, both in hand and around my neck with a strap. This means that even in situations, where it is impossible to quickly and easily change camera settings, you can be sure to have maximum versatility in post-production.Īpprox. All these adjustments are displayed live in the EVF and on the LCD touchscreen, so you can cook up great-looking effects and save them as presets.Īll 18 Film Simulations can be selected in AUTO/SP, plus it is now possible to create images in RAW format while the modes are selected.
