Mirrorless And Film Camera News

I use this with my mirrorless camera and the Essential Film Holder. I scan tons of 35mm film and this light works perfectly.

This is my first Fuji Camera and first mirrorless. My last camera was a Nikon entry-level DSLR around 10 years old. It was time for an upgrade. This camera is compact but packs a big punch. I'm amazed by how much you can customize through the settings. Taking some time looking through the menus and exploring the settings before you take it out makes a world of difference. I also took some time to create my own custom film sims which makes shooting so much fun and creative. I practice film photography and having this digital option with somewhat traditional dials complements my film practice perfectly.

If you're in tv news and use mirrorless cameras on a shoot and you have a monitor attached you your gimbal, this cable will connect to your Anton Bauer battery and give your monitor all the power it need. I used my gimbal on a protest and we marched for hours and I was able to see my shots throughout the entire broadcast. I highly recommend using this cable to power up anything to maximize sufficient power for any shoot during an extended time period. A MUST HAVE FOR PHOTOJOURNALISTS!!!!

Very compact and practical. I have 3 lenses plus my mirrorless camera and other film equipment

A fun, cheap film camera to play around with! I mostly shoot with my mirrorless camera, but I wanted to try shooting with film, and this was a great camera to introduce me to it. It's great for the price, and I love how small and compact it is for carrying around in my purse. Obviously this camera isn't the sturdiest, but the plastic is a lot sturdier than I was expecting for the price.

This is a awesome entry level mirrorless camera, and if you're a old film guy like myself with a collection of old Nikon glass, I'd pick up the ZTF adapter too.

I purchase a used Pentax Spotmatic film camera recently with a couple of lenses. This adapter allows me to use the Pentax lenses on my Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. It works perfectly, is well made and lightweight. If you are looking to adapt vintage lenses to your current system this is an excellent solution.

To preface this story, this is my first DSLR and my first Pentax. Before this I had owned two mirrorless cameras.  First I started with a Lumix S1 but was looking to upgrade and convinced myself to sell everything to buy into the Fuji GFX system. To my (and many others) surprise I was dissatisfied with not only the build quality of the 50sii but the images I was creating with it. Something just didn't look right. I couldn't place my finger on it but things looked... sterile?  I thought a digital medium format sensor was the answer to replicating my medium format film cameras but alas, this was not the case. I wanted to capture a black and white film look with a digital camera but couldn't afford a Leica monochrome. It was a risky move on my part but I sold my GFX after doing a lot of research into the K3iii monochrome. The first day I took it out I knew I had made the right choice. Images from this camera are pure magic and have tricked many people around me thinking it was film. Match this sensor with a M42 adapter and throw some Super-Takumar, it looks identical to B&W film. Love shooting this thing at night at ridiculously high ISO levels. The build quality is like a tank. View finder is bright and easy to focus. Speaking of focusing, the auto focus is faster than some of the mirrorless cameras Ive used. I don't ever want to go back to mirrorless after using this gem, there's nothing like framing your image through the lens. My only complaint is it takes a second to get used to exposing correctly. You need to be very mindful of blown out highlights. Images match that of any full frame camera I've ever used. I love this thing so much I can only hope Pentax will release a full frame monochrome camera in the future to compete with Leica. Anyway, if you love B&W photography then this is the camera for you.

I don't normally write reviews, but I feel like the S1H is a camera that deserves attention and praise. This is the first mirrorless camera that I've ever purchased that I felt it could take on any task and behaves very similarly to a cinema camera. My main work is documentary work where I am required to film everything very fast without the time to switch lenses throughout the day. The S1H in combination with a standard zoom lens (24-70 f/2.8 in my scenario) gives me exactly what I need to ensure I can always get the best shot: Excellent colour, dynamic range, low light capability, in body stabilization, 6K24 + 4K60 + HD120 all 10-bit internally so I can always record in V-Log, battery life and ability to film with USB external power (this is essential for talking head interviews), portability, durability, waveform monitors, customization, etc. I want to stress that I don't rely on continuous autofocus for video. The S1H doesn't compete with Sony, Canon, Nikon, or Fujifilm when it comes to continuous autofocus. It's only usable with good lighting in a situation where you have time for retakes (therefore I almost never use it). However, in my opinion, it can do everything else better than any other mirrorless camera on the market.

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.
