I just bought the Zf. I am a Fuji shooter. I’ll let you know what I think in a month or so.

Excellent comparison and I''m with you, X-H2.

That tripod will be reduced in price very shortly - I have a manforotto that does everything that one does besides weight - and it's way way cheaper. Also I like the weight on mine - it can be used as a weapon for defense in the times we are living in now. The one you are showing is also way to complicated or will be a nuisance over time due to its functionality. In a few months it will be selling for $50 due to its design flaws and maybe sell.

I just ordered the Godox tt350 to use with my x100f, and I'm thinking about using a cable, do you have an opinion about this? 😅

All I have to say is thank you for the hack, I've trying to find a better way to carry my camera while hacking without having to remove the l-bracket and this might well be the solution.

Looks like a nice unit … as they say you get what you pay for especially with tripods. One other question related to using a tripod do you use a wireless shutter release on your x100vi? If yes what model?

Can you not lower and turn the air tag in wards so it doesn't protrude quite so much

I’ve got an old Manfrotto 3 lever head that does most of the same things without all the silly little knobs…much too fussy a unit for me! Too many keys, and options, designers should learn “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”! Great review though😅

I disagree with Tony. I believe that he trying to be provocative to get views.

Hey Booray, this Freewell Tripod will be good for Wedding photographers. And being able to use it as a Monopod is a bonus. I never knew that you can get an Air Tag on a Tripod, what a great idea. Freewell certainly have some good products. Thanks Booray for presenting this Tripod, I really enjoyed it. 😊.

Hi, Where is the the value in this video ? For me it is more a clickbait video than a real A vs B video. What about center sharpness ? No images. What about flair resistance ? No images. What about chromatic aberration ? No images. Sorry to say that's really amateur(ish).

I don't think I have ever seen such a thorough review of a tripod from the practical usability aspect before. Very good. The fidgety/fiddly(photo jargon) mounting of the plate on the camera and then the camera on the tripod disqualifies it for me. The design just seems to bypass the convenience of the standard Arca Swiss plate and receiver system. The combination ball/pan-tilt head seems clever though.

The top red knob is for taking panoramic pictures. Especially when the tripod is on an uneven ground.

I've noticed, if I have eye detection on, or subject detections on, photometry is greyed out? Why?

i'm an image sensor designer, i design for satellites, earth based observatories, X-ray, machine vision, electron microscopy ... you name it. a bigger pixel doesn't gather more light ... wait for it ... don't get angry ... a bigger "effective aperture" gathers more light, or you may call it the "equivalent F number" which is the f number of your lens times the 1.5 crop factor. if you have the same field of view (aka equivalent focal length), and the same equivalent f number (aka effective aperture in cm), then the total irradiance that falls on the whole chip is the same in both cases. a bigger pixel can have a higher dynamic range, which shows itself in lower ISOs and daylight images in the shadows. don't confuse noise and dynamic range. a good dynamic range is handy if you wanna post-process your image and bring out details that are otherwise not visible. and in low light situation with higher ISO that dynamic range will buried under the noise level and you won't see any difference.

Hi, thanks for your review. Can I use the wide angle lens without the macro?

Out of curiosity Q1. Can u stack freewell to fuji wcl? (i.e If u remove the freewell adaptor) Q2. If u can, does it make it wider?

I shoot raw 100% of the time, so this doesn't matter to me. Even so, I must say digital zoom (as you said) is merely cropping an image, there's no zooming going on, only fakery in that regard. A whole lot of people don't understand the difference between digital vs optical zoom and they unknowingly are scrapping the outer edges of their pictures. So this new digital crop "feature" on the VI gets a thumbs down from me.

Hey Booray, I learned a new word in photography, Concave. I liked the Black and White photos and I'm impressed with The image stabilisation. You will enjoy using it, and at $149 it will make a good Birthday or Christmas present. Thanks Booray I enjoyed watching what this Freefell Teleconver can do. 😊📸.

Otherwise, in general, about converters. Some people say they are unnecessary and that the X100 series is all about that single 35mm focal length. But I think the converters give you a huge opportunity to have the whole kit very small and relatively light - it fits in one small shoulder bag. But the photographer gets a range of about 26-105mm in one device at a relatively very good aperture without having to change glass in the field and risk dusting the chip. The camera is completely weather sealed. The alternative would mean some very bright and expensive zoom lens, or several separate glasses, the changing of which already increases the risk of dusting the chip in the field. It would also mean more weight than the X100 with two converters.

It's convex! But appreciate the coverage of this big time

Hi,,, just seen this vlog,,, Just a thought for you,,, since this wasn't a comparison video,,, wouldn't it of been possible to of rented a Fuji compatible lens to make the comparison,,, it would of been more of a win win situation to your followers,,, My thought process being,,, if the Fuji lens is only the same or not that much better,,, then you would of saved 200$,, However if your only hooked on the Fuji brand,,, it wouldn't even matter if the lens was better,,, you would still get the Fuji comparison,,, (Just sayin)

Thanks for another review. For $250, Freewell offers something that Fuji offers for $700, if I'm not mistaken. Plus a macro lens. Fuji has its advantages, but at this price it's unbeatable. I just noticed that for some photos from the teleconverter, the exif data shows 19mm, so the camera menu has been switched to wide angle converter. It might be worth using the same little hack for these lenses that is used on the first generation of Fuji converters - i.e. sticking a little magnet on the inside, so that the camera itself detects the type of converter and adjusts the settings, line alignment, etc.

TCL-X100 for Fuji has 67mm filter thread 😌 Thanks for the video

Delighted to be the first to coment...thanks for what you do. 😁

Caution! Not all Fuji lenses work on all Fuji Cameras!!!

Why is the podcast great? Sorry to ask, but in times of over information its always nice to know… why should I listen to your podcast. Do I learn something about photography?

7:05 it doesn’t have a larger sensor than x100v

I ordered one. Sadly, I'm in Canada and I couldn't get an affiliate link to work for me. Hopefully, it will suffice for you to know that you're my source for X100 info. Thanks for everything you do to make these videos.

Thanks for the review - I was looking for one a few days ago and there wasn't one anywhere - this is the first one. I have ordered this lens myself and am curious to see the results.

Very good video and thank you for doing it. I have the V350 and am planning on using it for close up and macro photography. I will be trying bounce flash to soften the close up images.

What happens if you put the Fuji WCL on first and then attach the Freewell to the front of the WCL?

CC shifts blue to cyan & red to orange. Its make me mad sometimes 😂

Nice test, and you can always make it auto-sense by adding a correctly placed magnet on the lens - plenty of tutorials on the web as to how to do this for the Mk1 versions of the WCL and TCL, should work fine for this too providing there's space for the magnet!

I would still choose the WCL and let me explain why. It looks cooler. Picking up the Fuji X100vi, for a lot of people, is all about the looks -AND- function. But looks is a huge part of it. It looks retro-inspired cool. When you put the WCL on the X100vi, you can still use the LH-X100 lens hood and it looks AMAZING.The Freewell just doesn't look as cool.

That looks amazing. Going to check if by any chance it works with the X100S. The price is amazing, and that its two features in one for $99 USD is amazing.

Hey Booray, it's nice to see another one of your videos. I like seeing different Camera brands, as I shoot With Nikon it's refreshing to see the features of other Camera brands. Like the photo of the Little Yellow man with the flag. And that Emergency sign, shouldn't it read 1/210 of a second 😂🤣. Many thanks Booray as always. Have a nice day 😊📸.

GREAT video. Great recommendation. £99 here in UK. By co-incidence my 2nd hand (as new) WCL lens arrived today (£150). But I would love to have a macro for my X100vi. I recently bought the 40mm f/2.8 macro by TTArtisans for my other Fuji. I just want to have a bit of fun. Some years ago I put 5 photos of bees / flowers into an exhibition of my photographs. 5 different coloured flowers, one bee visiting each. Taken on my 12mp Olympus P&S because it could do a good macro easily.

Great video as always. I already have the WCL for my x100v so for now, even the $99.00 Freewell brings me no value, since I have no interest in macro.

Heyy, that's pretty good

I think the 2nd shots are better because I like the deeper blue colors.

The thing you are missing is grain structure. The acro film simulation has its own built in grain simulation even when you have grain turned off in your IQ menu. It’s this specific grain pattern that gives the acro simulation part of its charm.

When Canon produces L lens for APS-C

This video was so helpful, I just bought mine, thank you!

The comparison at 13:00 is a little bit unfair, because you are not only going from manual mode to aperture priority but also deactivating auto ISO at the same time, which would be also two different settings in the PASM world.

generally speaking, you get better looking images from a sensor with less megapixels.

Interesting video. I'm born in 84 and I feel like Classic Chrome is part of my "memory color" because I did read old magazines that my parents or grandparents had, and was just exposed to older mediums than kids are today. But lately I've been yearning to re-create more of the 90's magazine look with CMYK halftones and color profiles that you would see in ads and magazine in the 90s and even early 2000s. I'm hoping to be able to recreate this in my fuji pics.
