Presuming I don’t need OIS for a dimly lit, hand-held shot, where the 10-24’s stabilizer is truly amazing. Still very good, but I will stick to my primes for the highest image quality, if their fields of view are sufficient for the shot. #Fuji xpro 2 used iso#I have also not tested the 27mm f/2.8 pancake prime, but based on its performance on the X-E2, I think it will likely still perform very well too.įujinon XF 23mm f/1.4R – ISO 200 – f/8 – 1/320 (click image for full-res)Īs far as zooms, so far the lenses I have tested are the 10-24mm f/4 OIS, the 18-55mm f/2.8-4 OIS, the 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 OIS, the 50-140mm f/2.8 OIS and the new 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 OIS.Īs mentioned above, the 10-24mm is maybe starting to show its limits, and the extreme corners in the mid-range of the zoom, which were stellar on my X-E2, are looking ever so slightly soft now. As before, I would suggest that the 18mm f/2 might not be the ideal lens if you are seeking edge-to-edge performance, but I expect it will be sharp in the centre and as a wider-aperture, slightly wider-than-usual street photography lens, it will likely be just fine. Two primes I have not tested, but suspect will perform well, are the 35mm f/1.4 and most definitely, the 56mm f/1.2 APD. I don’t own the 56mm, but if I did, it would be on that list too.įujinon XF 14mm f/2.8R – ISO 200 – f/10 – 1/450 (click image for full-res) #Fuji xpro 2 used software#The truly spectacular primes in my own kit are the 16mm, 23mm, 60mm and 90mm – those all absolutely make the most of the X-Pro2’s increased resolution and look to be about as flawless as can be, with no optical aberrations that need software correction. However, on the X-Pro2, the 14mm does prove itself to be superior to the zoom as far as corner-to-corner sharpness, so it is seeing more time in my camera bag again. Since getting the 10-24mm f/4 OIS, I hadn’t been using the 14mm as much, since on my X-E2 bodies, the zoom at 14mm performed essentially as well as the prime. The Fujinon prime lenses that I’ve found to perform extremely well are: 14mm f/2.8, 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2, 56mm f/1.2, 60mm f/2.4 macro and 90mm f/2.įujinon XF 90mm f/2R – ISO 200 – f/2 – 1/1400 (click image for full-res) The full-resolution images, taken with the X-Pro2 in this review, were all raw files that were just processed through Lightroom CC.Ĭompared to the previous generation of 16 megapixel X-Trans equipped bodies, the resolution increase is noticeable and with a few exceptions in some situations, most of my Fujifilm lenses are more than up to the task of resolving sufficiently for the new 24 megapixel sensor, especially the primes. Apologies, but I had a very poor quality screen protector on the X-Pro2’s rear LCD for those shots, and I’ve since then replaced it with a much nicer one. Scattered throughout this review are some shots of the X-Pro2, side by side with my X-E2, so you can see how the controls have changed, the size differences etc. #Fuji xpro 2 used pro#For a working pro that is using Fujifilm gear, shoots raw, and uses Adobe software, this can pay big dividends in productivity! Rest assured that the camera’s JPEGs are still as good as ever. With Adobe’s tweaks to X-Trans sensor raw file processing, and the X-Pro2’s increased resolution, I am actually finding quite acceptable results and generally don’t feel the need to process images through a third party raw converter any more, converters like PhotoNinja or Iridient Developer. This is also very true of raw files processed through the latest versions of Adobe’s Creative Cloud Lightroom and Photoshop. The increased megapixels have had no negative impact, and only contribute to its overall image quality. Suffice to say for now that my impressions are that it is as good, or better, in essentially every way. While I have now shot quite a lot with the X-Pro2, what I still haven’t done is a full-blown comparison to my X-E2 with respect to image quality. There is a lot that is new and improved in comparison to the older Fujifilm bodies like my X-E2 (now there’s an X-E2s) and I will attempt to cover the major improvements. Above is a link to a random sampling of images I’ve shot since getting the X-Pro2. I have now had my own Fujifilm X-Pro2 for just over a month, and by and large, I absolutely love the camera.
