Hi Andrew! Loved the video - very useful. Always keen when I came across a Fuji user focused on action sports, such as motor racing. Just found you on IG and will DM to keep in touch. Cheers

Great advice thanks

have you quite your youtube channel?

I want to become a photographer

What about aperture?

I still love my xpro2 but the fuji lenses… they are not bad, but. I recently had Leica glas on the xpro2 … ohhh Jesus … its like ahhh this is the true results of my camera sensor. Fuji needs to step up in the glas quality, meaning… do better lenses and charge more money. Its unbelievable insane how good the old German lens is in 2024. Leica is doing it right since 75 years, they don’t even need to think about if their glas reaches the sensors full resolution….🎉

Thank you for video! As a fuji shooter I wonder how you manage to use IT’S autofocus in such difficult conditions?😅

Hi there, you were talking about panning shots, and 1 thing you should have said was to fo;;ow through with the pan after you press the shutter, this helps to stop snatching the shutter pulling the camea out of the direction of pan. Using a tripod all of the tracks( trackside) is not allowed ! but using a monopod is, this keeps access for marshals/doctors free. If you have never done panning heres a tip , go to the end of your street or a street with a good traffic stream and shot the cars going by this will give you a better way to practice. As shutter speeds for head on shots you are a little low 1200 or above, remember that the springs.dampers are set hard and this will make the vehicle bounce up and down, not all racks are dead flat these tips will help to your keeper rate higher.

Thanks for any good video. You can always learn more. I'm fairly new to motorsport photography. Greetings from Denmark

Thank you for that helpful video :) Can you explain why you choose the X-H2 and not the X-H2s?

Using a wide aperture seems odd for a panning shot. You don’t need a shallower depth of focus as you are blurring the background anyway with the motion. I find closing down the aperture helps as it makes the focus less critical. You also normally get a sharper image at a slightly closed down aperture

Man I was so oblivious to just how much more overwhelming the requirements to a would be videography career would’ve been before I even got there. I couldn’t even take one step to university with even salary issues and other limitations. Even putting a success story in a nutshell makes it out that some of the smartest people in this area are the few people who can actually qualify..

At 1.50 minutes, you said to start with a 1/20 shutter speed and "move down" to 1/60. And at 4.20 minutes, you used aperture priority so "the camera sets the aperture for you." Neither are correct.

Good stuff I will alter some of my tricks as well. I shoot a lot at Laguna Seca ;)

Amazing tips! Subbed 👍

Good and helpful video dude. Also cool to see you're using the 70-300. I love that lens and I've also done some paid work with it in combination with the X-T4 (awesome and IMO a very underrated sports/action camera) and Tamron 17-70. I will try and get a second body later this year. I was going to get another X-T4, but this time in silver. What is the performance like on the X-H2 for action photography and video in comparison just out of curiosity, apart from the deeper buffer?

What lens do you use?

Great

❤❤❤❤

Is this lens suitable for interior shoot?

helpful, thank you

Its a great lens. I just don't use it much...

For general subjects, documentary, and photojournalism, I use the following three Fujinon lenses: 56mm f/1.2 23mm f/1.4 16mm f/1.4 For vacation, travel, and one-camera/one-lens situations, I use the 23mm f/2 Fujinon. For video and backup to my prime lenses, I use: 16-55mm f/2.8 Fujinon 50-140mm f/2.8 Fujinon

Thanks! It was good to hear from someone who uses the 50-140 for sports. I've been using my xf90mm f2 which is currently my longest reach Fuji lens. It's great, but some extra reach would be nice. The price of that 50-140 makes things a bit complicated though! Now, let's talk about two very important things I noticed in this video; that sweet burst Les Paul on the wall and that beautiful Martin. LOL! I live in the Lehigh Valley where Martin Guitars are produced. It's a very cool factory tour to do. I also have a Les Paul. Mine's a 1971ish LP Deluxe Goldtop. I have it since 1980. Well, thanks again for the input. Have a great week and Happy New Year!

The 16mm is a great lens indeed. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video. What gimbal are you using?

Can this be used for video?

Fujifilm has been amazing for my photography and that’s true for me.

this is the definition of clickbait title, some people might be switching to Fuji, but it's niche at best. No one using a decent Sony or Cannon and is in their right mind is switching to Fuji :D

Fuji is pricing itself out of the market. Even the older cameras, which are more likely to break, are so out of price range, few can afford them. Why spend those big bucks when you can buy different brands with less cash and newer equipment?

Nobody is switching to Fuji.. its market share is still just 5.8%. nobody except some snobbish portraits/landscape photographers and click hungry youtubers are buying or talking about fujifilm cameras. Even the Nikon has come much further forward in mirrorless than Fujifilm.

Bought my fuji xt10 for the film simulations alone, just use it as my travel camera and absoltuley love it! Agree with you on these!

I just can’t do the ibis and AF when it’s so much better and easier to use Sony. If it wasn’t for that I’d be on the x-h2s for sure

Hi, Great Video . I've got your 3 except for 50-140 . I like Fujifilm gears .

I wish to get one, I have been hearing a lot of good reviews about the lens.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Hi, Nice video. I have the original 10-24 which I use mostly for video work as the internal zoom means no adjustments needed on the gimbal but since I am predominantly a portrait photographer, I shoot with 3 lenses now, The 23mm F/1.4 and 56mm F/1.4 Sigma and the Original 35mm F/1.4 Fuji. The Sigma glass is really good and at less than half the price of the eqv. fujis I could not justify the difference after testing. I recently shot a dance show (on a stage, in bad lighting) using the Sigma 56mm F/1.4 in AFC and it nailed focus every time I was very impressed the 50-140 is a lens I need maybe once a year, at that point I just hire it.

I curious what camera and lense you used to shoot the video?

Really depends. If you're into lightweight, sigma 10-18 and 18-50 is the bomb and they are both f2.8 rather than f4.

My must haves are the 16, 23, 35, 50 f2/2.8 lenses.

Do not get me wrong as I am primarily a Canon shooter, with the R5, but I still believe that the Fujinon 16mm 1.4 is my most beloved Fuji lens, like ever!

I prefer the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 instead of the XF16mm. It also replaces the XF10-24mm for me, as I have the XF16-80mm and the XF23mm F1.4 WR.

Nice and informative video. Keep it up. :) But ... why do Americans wear hats inside?

GAS 😂

You should try 90mm f2. My personal favourite fuji lens

Interesting, I don't have any of these. I'm much more of a prime lens shooter. I have a 16mm, but the 2.8

Personally just use the 18mm 1.4, 16-55 F 2.8 and XF 55-200. 50-140 is an amazing lens but is just way too bulky for me to carry around and the price is also very high. 16 I used to use but was too wide for me so I changed my route don't really take wide angled photos much to be honest. 16- 55 is an amazing beast mode of a lens for mid range but Ill admit when it comes to size and cost I do regret not purchasing the 18-55. As a non professional and hobbyist, I would say there are many lenses out there that you dont really need to spend the big bucks unless you really really care about your photos or well you have unlimited pockets.

I've got your first 3, and I actually purchased them in the order you presented. Instead of the 16, I actually have the Sigma 56 f/1.4 for my portrait work. I'm an Oregon Fuji photographer out here on the East side. You've got some nice work here.
