My Fujifilm Street Photography Gear in 2025 - Plus Ricoh GR
So these are the cameras, lenses, and accessories I will be using in 2025. From what I've read so far, there won't be any major releases from Fuji this year, so I doubt there will be many changes in terms of gear until the end of the year.
Cameras
Fujifilm X100VI
The camera I used the most over the past 12 months is the Fujifilm X100VI. I really enjoy using this camera and I've found myself gravitating towards it over my XT5. The X100VI has been great both for photography and video. I pretty much bring it everywhere with me, love the design, and it will probably be the camera I use the most this year too.
t's also worth noting that the video features are probably the most underrated aspect of this camera.
Fujifilm XT5
Another Fujifilm camera I use all the time is the Fujifilm X-T5. I use this as a hybrid video and photography camera and it has been really useful for both my photography and professional work.
It's worth noting that the X-T5 and X100VI share the same sensor, which makes editing photos from either of these cameras easier. Again, I've been really happy with the photos and video from the X-T5.
Fujifilm Xh2S
The final Fujifilm camera I'll be using is the X-H2S. Now I'm not a big fan of the dials on this camera, and I find it to be a little too large and heavy for street photography, however, I love the video I'm able to record from it. I really wish Fujifilm would create a dedicated video camera, but for the time being, I'll be using the X-H2S.
RICOH GR IIIx
I also have a RICOH GR iiiix – which is the camera I bring around with me for those times where I don't want to carry a larger camera. This Ricoh is also really useful when taking photos in locations where I wouldn't be comfortable using a large camera. The best thing about the Ricoh is that it looks like a cheap point-and-shoot, so nobody really takes it seriously.
Voigtlander Bessa R3A
Over the past year, I've also started shooting film and picked up the Voigtlander Bessa R3A on eBay – but I'm pretty new to shooting 35mm film, so we'll see where this all goes.
Lenses
Fujifilm 35mm f1.4
First up is the 35mm f/1.4, which is probably still my favorite and most-used Fuji lens. I've tested out the 33mm numerous times and I do like it but not enough to drop the 35mm 1.4.
Fujifilm 56mm f1.2
While this lens was designed with portrait photography in mind, I love using it for street. The longer focal lengths work really well with my style of shooting, and I've taken some of my favorite photos with the 56mm 1.2.
I actually still prefer the old version of this lens as it's both smaller and lighter.
Fujicron - 23mm f2 | 35mm f2 | 50mm f2:
I also still use the Fujifilm f2 primes – 23mm f2, 35mm f2, and the 50mm f2. I usually take these with me on trips and swap over to using them when I want to have a lightweight setup or if the weather conditions are bad.
Fujifilm 16mm f1.4:
Finally on the primes – I also have the Fuji 16 1.4 – IMO is one of Fuji's best – which I use a lot for video and professional work.
Sigma 18-50mm Zoom:
As for zoom lenses, I have the 18-50mm Sigma, which I use mostly for travel. I actually sold my Fuji 16-55 after getting the Sigma as this lens is pretty much as good quality-wise while being a lot smaller and lighter.
Accessories
Bags & Cases:
I rarely use desiccated camera bags as they tend to be ugly, and I prefer shooting with as little on me as possible. If I do carry a bag, it'd be a regular sling bag just to slip batteries and lenses into.
I also have cases from Wotancraft for both my Ricoh GR iiiix and X100VI, which help protect the cameras while traveling.
Editing:
I use both my MacBook Pro M4 and iPad Pro to edit my photos and videos. I use Lightroom for photos and a mix of Final Cut and DaVinci for video editing.
So that is pretty much all the gear I'll be using this year. I have a video on this on YouTube (above), and here is a link to all the gear I use for my Photography and Video work.
