Not a week seems to go by, where I don't mention him or what he has said to someone. Only at the weekend just gone I was talking to a client who was interested in photography, and I talked of his advice to look up - and take a picture. You knew him for many more years than I, I wish I'd have known him sooner in my own photographic journey.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well, I had this in West Africa, where it was a good deal warmer often than filming in say the UK. It wasn't a huge issue no. I did however see the overheating warning more times than I otherwise did on the V. It didn't really stop play though.

I sense that, because this film was made a little while ago, she has indeed had those dark days you talk of. I also sense that, and having followed Olivia's story, that she has gone to battle with the demons and exorcised them. She is a strong and powerful woman who, I think, is and will be an inspiration to many. Thank you for your comment.

@@photowalk.podcast She does seem quite the force of nature, I almost feel sorry for those demons.

Thank you Andrew, good to have you along. I have much to do, to build this channel. I, like you, am a real Sean Tucker follower.

Hi Keith, I wince a little with the phrase 'call out' because it suggests they/people are doing something purposefully to deflect or deceive, and I just don't believe Fujifilm do this. There aren't many companies for instance who have the sort of facility as we do in the UK in the House of Photography - where you get a chance to talk to experts about the system, go to special events, training and so on. I think they find themselves in a damned if they do and don't situation with the X100VI... partly because if they wait for much longer, they'll have enthusiastic users complaining that they want to the new body and so on. They were very much caught in a storm following the influencers who partly created a rush on the system, and of course world issues on going with supply chains of particular parts. A 'victim' of their own success? Perhaps. In terms of UA-camrs and influencers getting cameras - clearly they do at the start of the process, to create a buzz and so on - good commercial sense. But after that, many of us, I'd say pretty much all of us who are lucky to try the cameras, hand them back and join the same queue as you would. I know I have. I have a feeling that the supplies will improve this time, world issues of course not withstanding.

@@photowalk.podcast thank you for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully. I agree in many respects, however when you have a product that people simply can’t get a hold of then I have to question why that is, for the period the v has been un/available I think Fuji needed to get this sorted for the vi, my brand loyalty is being tested, as I see that of others is, Fuji as a worldwide corporation need to address their issues with failing to deliver. Again thank you for your reply much appreciated.

@@keithjack9850 Well, I certainly understand your frustration when it's tricky to get hold of kit you'd very much like to invest in. Incidentally, I am having the very same problem with trying to get hold of a camera from DJI.

Thank you

Thank you Michael. Very kind of you to say and nice to meet you in the Zoom earlier too! :-)

Well, usually this doesn't feature too highly in my thoughts, though my F and V were both black. This time around, I had the silver and I liked the retro look. When I buy mine, I'm going for a silver.

Thank you Paul.

Thanks for that. Kind of your to comment and it was certainly a fun adventure.

A simple 3.5 to 2.5 adaptor worked just fine! All good.

Thank you Tim. I certainly think the V has travelled with me way too much to actually be a trade in. I have had all the 100s, and each has come and gone as I've upgraded, but this one, this one seems to have sentimental value.

Thanks for sharing!! Kind of you.

And you're right, this is something I didn't do, and I would imagine it would have made all the difference. Thanks Johnny.

That’s very kind of you. Thank you.

Praise indeed Gavin. :-)

Hmmm, now, in the film I mentioned the over heating - and it has been suggested I turn IBIS off inbetween shooting movies and stills. I didn't get a chance to do that in the time the advice arrived, but perhaps that would have solved it. When shooting stills only it was otherwise not a problem.

Thanks @@photowalk.podcast

Thanks for your well thought out points about the camera, appreciate it. I was beginning to think I was a lone voice on the 85mm front. I do think you're right about the twin slots, though I'll remain a lone voice with the desire for it perhaps. MPB have been such an important supporter of the podcast, without them, we may not have had the ability to continue. I'm really not convinced that it'll put folk off, particularly when it's such a small part of the film. I'm impressed by wonderful folk who work there in the warehouses... many/most of them photographers in their own right with a real passion for picture making. I'm a long long long way from Adsense being able to support the work that goes in. Now as for the duff X100 all those years back... hmmm, maybe. Maybe. I'm pleased I bought it though!

@@photowalk.podcast no problem , nice reply appreciated, if we'd all had the same experience with MBO but I regret they have let me and a lot of people down , but I understand your point if they are heavily supporting your channel

Well that's very kind, thank you.

It's always been a case of time with UA-cam. I'm planning on more for sure, particularly now the channel has rebranded to the podcast title. Thanks for your kind comments.

Thanks, very kind.

Grazie, sei molto gentile e sono felice che il film ti sia piaciuto.

Thank you for your comment and I was sort of prepared for this. Within the podcast episode itself we talk of this as a subject. However, and there is a however, we also worked in cooperation with various people as the week went along. We discovered, we met, we shared food, we did so much more as visitors with inquisitive eyes. We're also (some of the team) now working on a crowdfunder to raise money for the school who had had their water pump stolen. And were, I guess, guests and tourists, which has a currency and value to those we spend time with, as well as ourselves. An exchange if your will. I suppose a very valid example would be to ask, as a reframed question or observation; "I wonder what might happen if a group of people from another country or culture arrived on our shores and started taking pictures of our children, what might we say?" You could reframe your question quite rightly that way, and one might shift uncomfortably in their seat. Making pictures with and of and for people is a dance, particularly with children. I think that in itself became a partnership, as we spent time enjoying each others' company. It's important to note that when, and this happened with my filming in a good few places, when I was making a clip or doing a piece to camera, I would be joined by children who were as inquisitive about me, as me about them. Respect comes to mind I think alongside inquisitiveness. I wasn't there shooting telethon footage looking for a story that needed to lever emotion. I was there making pictures of people, in happy scenarios, often noisy scenarios and always, unless it really wasn't possible, made sure I took the time to talk with whoever I made the picture of, and when I remembered, to turn the camera around, and share the experience. Sorry for the long winded answer, but I do think it's important to consider both sides of the story; not simply what is somewhat assumed.

I'm really not a pixel peeper, so I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask. I did though go to look at some full res images, and I'm genuinely happy that they are sharp. Certainly sharp enough for me as an observer. UA-cam compression does make/have an effect.

It's a fine line isn't it ;-)

Thank you for that.

Thank you Scott, that's kind of you indeed. I certainly put it through its paces today.

@@photowalk.podcast did you handhold the Fuji for the video shots, or were you using a gimbal/small tripod of any sort?

@@scotttucker9613 Pointing the camera back at me, I was using a very simple GorillaPod tripod, as featured in the film. No gimbals at all. Anything that was filmed pointing outwards, is simply the camera in my hand.

@@photowalk.podcast excellent to know, thanks very much!

Well thank you for the praise. Kind of you.

Thanks Vincent. And yes in a desert environment, you won't have to fear the dreaded lens change! One thing I will advise is to take a blower with you, and squirt some air into the top plate ISO/SS dial, as dust did manage to tuck itself into this dial. I sorted that with a blast of air regularly.

@@photowalk.podcast thanks for the advice. Any other will be greatly appreciated.

I know Paul, it was a 'sort of' joy to use, more joyous for you by the sound of it... I did come a cropper with my good friend Giles for this comment yesterday. Boy did I get in trouble. I did find that fringing was a problem, although Giles suggested that could be the lens selection I was using.

@@photowalk.podcast 😂 Us Leica geeks are very sensitive you know! I met a good friend of Giles at Stonehenge before Christmas. They were army photographers together. Sounds like they had a great time! This guy was a Leica geek too 😂

Thank you for that. I like the idea of the spirit of something, because that seems to me to be a collaboration between what or who the camera is being pointed to or toward, and the person pressing the shutter button.

It's that wonderful dichotomy isn't it? I may rename the video... because the more I read, the more I understand it's not perhaps a need, but an opportunity to adventure with a smaller camera?

You can indeed turn the IBIS off, so, note to self, do this in the future when not filming. Instax and menu, I'm afraid I did not notice that no, but that's not to say it's not there.

Thank you for the comment. It truly is a super camera. Of course, it won't feel, or look like a Sony in any way, shape or output form.

@@photowalk.podcast 100% and I think that might be a good thing. May be a nice change and a fresh look on how photography is captured. Also is the background music on UA-cam? I don't know why but it makes me feel so motivated.

Very kind of you NewburyNick... I think trying to do the Photowalk show as a video every week would need a prod team. We're not quite there yet of course. There will be some segments and individual letters yes.

Well if I had the chance and finances, I'd be travelling across as much of the continent as I could with this camera!

Thanks for your thoughts.

Kind thoughts. The Qs really interest me, I'd certainly like to spend 10 days in Africa with a Q3!

@@photowalk.podcast I love my q2 and you’d definitely 🥰 it. I sold my ff Nikon, 35f1.4 and 85f1.4 to fund my first Leica and have no regrets. It’s truely on another level. But sometimes I don’t want to bring such an expensive camera traveling. The x100vi appears to be the next best option. Pancake lens f2.0 and pocketable. Something I can carry everyday.

Good to be confident.

Pleasure and thank you.

Thanks Trev. Yes you do need to remove it.

One of my mates loves the idea of shooting weddings with this and a set of tele converters. The size and weight would be great, and allow great work flow.

We did indeed have fun David. An inspiring trip in many ways.

I'm pleased it felt that way. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind comment.

Not sure about treasure, but thank you for your comment.

I'm not sure there's a lot of complaints about the battery. I think the fact that those who love this form factor and have say an F or a V, will be pleased not to have to change the battery within that particular system. I don't know if this is a 'X camera is better than Y' conversation... I think this is more in celebration of a particular model and how improvements have brought the X100 even further forward than it was.

@@photowalk.podcast They are trying to compete against Leica Q models but that's not the point of the X100 series. I know Q3 is full frame but X100 series is going for it in the future. I've seen at least 10 reviews where most people complains about how fast the battery drains and overheating problems.

Thanks Kevin.
