The Karangahake Gorge with the Fuji X100V

Hey folks! In this video I explore the walks around the Karangahake Gorge with my mate Alan (go follow him on instagram) and the Fujifilm X100V.

I treated it mainly as a scouting mission for a future video where I want to shoot some 6x9 film, so most of the images are largely snapshots - which is right up the alley of the X100V.

If you don’t know what the X100V is, its a compact mirrorless camera from Fujifilm with a fixed 23mm f/2 prime lens. That means no zoom and you cant swap lenses. This makes the camera tiny even by Fuji X-Series standards. The V is the fifth iteration featuring the same 26MP sensor as my X-T4, 4K 30p video and just being all round fun to use. Its been the darling of Tiktok the past few years and pretty much impossible to buy as it has been consistently sold out worldwide. So, I was lucky to be able to snap one up a few months back.

All the shots featured in the video are in the gallery below. Enjoy!
