I took out my old fuji camera from storeroom to shoot photo. Very retro.

I brought my cheap Fuji camera with 35mm prime lens on my last japan trip to shoot cherry blossoms and landscape the lousy autofocus drove me crazy and 35mm not wide enough for landscape I wanna cry sia 😭
Brand new or second hand? Warranty won’t extend in sg rite? I’m thinking of visiting these stores as well

nice hoot TS. I was also thinking about to get a fujifilm to try their simulation. But decided will buy xt5 instead for the interchangeable lens

All these simulations will never replicated film cos they are applied as a whole. They look like they have some weird colour cast across the whole photo and only works in certain lighting conditions only. For film, every grain particle responds differently dynamically.
People who haven’t touch film won’t understand one

like me …

Yes if you want to leave post processing to the camera without tinkering in Lightroom, Fuji system is good with all their film IPs
I’m not sure until I get one to try out and play

I’ve seen some of them which range from pretty nice to freaking ugly, as the range is wide and still subject able to tweaks.

it is pretty known that Fuji is inferior to Sony in terms of autofocus. Some say if for taking photos alone, Fuji autofocus is enough, only for videoing then Sony is much better, but I dunno about it cos autofocus is important for me

so I think in the end I will get Sony as main, and try out second hand Fuji.

Nowadays don't really use bulky camera to take photos. Especially travel overseas. All the camera like Nikon FM2 , Nikon D3s, Sony Nex 5 all in the dry cabinet in storeroom.
I need to research into body harness and quick release as I dun think sling bag is good for weight distribution

anyone here can share their gems here ?

I get that. I’m also old timer photographer since Nikon fm days. However I do have to say that whatever preference I have for provia film look is down to nostalgia because I used to shoot with that film. Young kids whose introduction to photography was with a digital camera probably will not value that much. So I wonder if this of market will be here to stay or just die a natural death with old timers like me moving on.
Funny thing is these 'film look' and characteristics are considered flaws in the past and I believe I recall people actually want better/truer color rendition. Now it became a sought after feel/ filter.
