Fujifilm cameras have always intrigued me, especially for photography. Fujifilm has great color and beautiful camera design language, and overall, I think Fujifilm is unique in the filmmaking space. It's not perfect—no mirrorless camera is—but it's moving in the right direction. I'm here to share my thoughts and experiences, what I love and don't, and what can be improved.

With new gear on the horizon this year, it's easy to forget that used gear can be a game changer. Let me explain.

I've embraced the mindset of prioritizing used gear when buying or selling. Time and time again, I discover that this approach saves me money and leads me to quality additions that support and inspire my work.

I prioritize selling any of my gear that I love but need to move on from, whether it be lenses, cameras, lights, or whatever. It sounds wild, I know, but there are other filmmakers who think like me. This way, I am passing along a piece of gear that might help someone else in their career and make money.

Vice versa, when I can, I buy used first. And with MPB, the process is straightforward. MPB's quality control standards are top-notch, and the condition is clearly labeled on the website. 

So, for those who are making a list of things to buy, check out MPB. You might be surprised by what you find. Alright, back to the video.
