how come you don't own the 56 1.2 for fuji? do you just rent for portrait shoots?

so earlier i tried to video (its also nighttime btw) in manual mode with std film simulation and dr at 400 image quality is raw.. raw recording is lossless compressed.. now when shooting footage the footage was clear i can see everything the image is great and didnt event use a full gb of memory when recording for about a minute.. then i switched to custom c1 which is setup in flog 2.. however the image was very dark even after turning the aperture down from 2.0 to 1.4 it still dark and image quality quite grainy but even worse it used 3.6 gb after just 13 seconds of recording ( but could have something to do with it recording in pro res 422 as my vfx editor says it works best for him) i would like to hear peoples opinion i can even send the video.. what can you recomend as you know i am trying to film at night so trying to get good image in flog 2 while trying to save memory as im supposed to be shooting my own musiv video tomorrow night.. any info hmu asap

So good bro

I'm not ready to commit to a 200 dollar backpack. If I'm not taking huge lenses then I'm okay with a regular backpack. When I take my MFT camera I've been able to fit 2 lenses in a fanny pack that I got for 20 bucks at TJ Max.

Sigma 16mm 1.4 better, this sirui is soft potato :D

This is my last video of the year! I hope you’ve enjoyed the content I’ve put out this year.. anyways stay safe and happy new year 🎊🎈🎆

I prefer to carry a jacket with plenty of pockets, putting my lenses in different areas and my supporting batteries and other knickknacks in. You can buy these type of jackets for every type of season, which is what I prefer to do. This way you can pull out lenses easily and swap them out. Nobody sees you with the backpack and they don’t see you as a photographer, but just somebody carrying a camera around his neck. Thieves, don’t see you either! You will have to find a jacket that suits you, you can even have somebody custom make extra pockets. I see way too many photographers carrying backpacks and they’re less likely to get the lens out quickly or even at all. 🖖

Can't find any name type or link for the bag in the description? 🤔

I...dont think I can afford to buy another camera bag 😂 no more room (and money)! A shame too. I do like that it looks less obvious as a camera bag compared to a Thinktank, Peak Design, or a Nomatic.

My wife is already complaining about my 9 camera bags! I'd hate to hear what she'd say if I bought another. 😂

What bag/storage are you recommending?

I still can't let go my xt20. It has everything i want except ibis and classic neg, but there are work around for that. I intend to use it until the end then i will buy either xt30II or XE4, probably T50.

Affordable 1.2 lens but nothing impressive.

How do you achieve this shot at 3:54 without blowing out the highlights? It’s so balanced and dreamy 🤩

Nice list! XF90 f2 is a must have! LOVE it! Hope you had a great Christmas. Happy New Year!!

nice shotS! But were you shooting in bursts while moving to make sure you captured the focal point?

Curious if you’ll be doing a new shootout now that the AF has been addressed in the latest firmware update?

Sony or Fuji.....bought a Canon. 😂 Nah You can't go wrong with any one of em. They always say choose a lensecosystem you want to be in and then buy a camera. 🤷‍♂️

Like this video a lot, a Tongue 👌🏻And I'm salivating for the day you get your mitts on the Plena, so I can live vicariously 😄 I do have the Z8 and the Plena on my (very) long term list also. Or a smaller nikon body with the same capabilities but with the Z8 screen mechanism, not the Z6iii. We're all different, I know, but it really bugs me having the screen to the side when I just need a bit of angle/tilt.

Which one you prefer more 90mm or Viltrox 75mm F1.2 ?

stopped watching too much cursing...doesn't make you sound cool..just sounds like an idiot who just got a hold of the Z8 trying to sound cool...we already know what it can do like 4 years ago with the Z9..

Do people still have the AF issue? I've been using my X-M5 for a month and it's been so great. The focus is so much better than the cameras I had (Pentax K20D, Canon EOS 5D mark IV). I was wondering whether they fixed this in this newer (but entry-level) model?

Do you know if the Sony a7cii is weather sealed?

does it work on fijuflim x-m1?

Can you please make an autofocus video after the software update a few days ago?

Back when I shot with the XT3 and XT30 I mostly used the 90mm for portraits. Usually preferred it over the 56mm. Now I shoot GFX and mostly use the 110 for my work.

Awesome video. The 18mm 1.4 - I bought it and returned it. Too much focus breathing for video. For 1.4 I prefer the 23mm and the 35mm. The only third party I’ve tried is the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 - sweet!

Can you do an AF shootout with the new X-S20 firmware 3.10?

where is the xs30?

The video i've been looking for

Sold 90mm twice and repurchased. Never to sell again. Agree has a beautiful look that's hard to describe

18mm 1.4 is Fujifilm's best lens. 16mm has too much distortion. 18mm is right in the ballpark. Focuses just as close. Sharper, faster.

Have you tried the nikon zf? I got the voigtlander 40mm f1.2, its crazy nice for portraits.

One of my all time favourite trio of lenses are Pentax's FA 31/1.8, FA43/1.9 and FA77/1.8 (all AF glass for FF). These lenses are works of art, you should go google them to even just get an idea of size and what they look like. Pentax were way ahead back in the day and making some gorgeous rendering glass. So yeh, 75/2 is a nice FL and f stop, all in a decent compact package, I know that deal well.

I don't shoot my 90/f2 often, but I'm experienced enough to recognize I should NEVER sell it. The new 16-55 ii is a fantastic lens - sooooo much lighter than the original and focus seems to be snappier too. Honorable mention should go to the Sony 24-50 f/2.8 lens - it's perfect for the A7C line.

My first Fuji Lens was the 56 f1.2 wr and I love it but I just got the 90 f2 and I love it even more!!! Found good deals on both (Used). Couldn't pass it up.

What do you think about 33mm 1.4 fuji?

I’m a digital artist by trade, and I edit images all the time. I only shoot raw if the lighting condition calls for it; otherwise I prefer to shoot jpegs (you can really get a lot from 8 or 10 bit files if you know what you need prior to taking the image). Personally I prefer more neutral, natural images out of the camera to work with, so I prefer Sony.

I started photography this year and my first camera was the xt5. Can’t get enough of it 👍

Happy holidays! Hope ya spent it with love ones! Unfortunately I have to spend it with my wife…🥲

Awesome video, grateful for channels like yours who puts in the time to test the third party lenses. I never knew I was one of the cool kids using only native glass on my x series cameras but you know what a win is a win. Looking forward to what you have coming up in the new year, who knows maybe I will finally get my channel going and pick up a XH-2S for video work.

Viltrox 27 mm F 1.2 totally underrated one of my favorite lenses felt a little tight at first because I was trying to shoot it like a 23mm also felt a little wide if I tried to completely isolate subjects like a 33 mm. But now after having it for a moment I've adjusted and now it suits me like having two prime lenses it's Ultra sharp it works great in low light yes it's a little heavy it's not a pancake lens I use it with excess 20 and the fact that I have a grip makes it very usable. It honestly reminds me of shooting on full frame

The Fuji 18 1.4 is one I don’t plan on selling. It’s a perfect street photography lens and I’ve noticed I don’t miss the 2mm more on a 16 mm. I’ve gotten some good compliments on my photos with this lens. As far as the 90 mm F2 goes, I don’t plan on selling this either. It’s great for street photography and for hiking when I want to carry a telephone photo. You can always crop with this lens, especially now that you have a 40 megapixels on Fuji cameras. When you talk about a 33 or 35 F1.0 I don’t see the need for it as the 33 1.4 is fantastic! I use this lenses a street photography lens all the time. I went on B&H photo, and reviewsthey say that the new replacement of the 16-55 2.8 is soft at wide open? I’m not sure if this is accurate, so I’m waiting to hear more reviews from real photographers, not just the pro’s trying to sell it. Otherwise, I’m fine keeping the original version, as it doesn’t make much much difference on quality, just size.

i always like to get native glass first since there is usually better performance when it comes to things like minimum focusing distance or high contrast situations. but those 3rd party lenses are coming in hot - near native performance for little compromise

XF 27 or 33mm f1.0 with capable AF would be amazing for night street photography. People often say that FF is better suited for this, but if Fuji ticks all of the other boxes for me already, I really don't want to pick up 2nd system just for that reason.

For me a Camera is a tool, the best tool for me are Sony full frame Cameras.

That’s so funny because for me being small is a plus!
