I’ve just got this lens and every time I film the background is doing the weird pulsing. I’ve tried looking online but can’t find anything about it. Do you have any idea what it could be?

When are the lume cube lights the cheapest during the year, black friday?

Good review

why does it look like its displaying 5 FPS in the app?

Try using the Smallrig L bracket mount for the R5. It’s not a grip but gives your pinky that area to rest. Try it you’ll like it.

The low light ability of the Viltrox is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised at how the distortion seems minimal in close up portraits. Thanks for this video.

Easily the best webcam on the market right now for its quality at this price point. The Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra is higher quality but also 299 while this is around 120-140. I have seen the obsbot meet2 look better then the elgato facecam pro mk.2 look better out of the box and tuned in many scenarios. Love what the webcam market has been getting to recently.

I see familiar faces on the zoom talk, amazing that You recorded this Pete!

I am truly amazed that videos with such valuable content like this only get a couple hundred views. Not enough naked women in it, I guess.

Can you customize a film simulation selected on the dial ? If yes will the changes be permanent or will be reset as soon as you leave that simulation ?

The X-T4 was designed to be both a traditional camera and a hybrid camera so I can imagine it suiting some people really well. It certainly represents a great value proposition now. Personally, I think Fujifilm made a really smart choice with more clearly separating the T ‘traditional’ and the H ‘hybrid’ lines. I love X-T5 for family, street and travel photography (sensor, dials and screen). But for wildlife photography, macro and video work the X-H2s is superb (fps, af speed, custom settings, grip). If I was on a budget the X-T4 could be a valuable middle ground between these two cameras.

You rock buddy I appreciate you

Great explanation video. I would point out that a lot of flash units do offer modelling lights, to see where it’s falling before you fire them.

I am looking for a good bird photo camera. Currently, I use an X-T5/Fuji 100-400mm zoom. When this does well, it does pretty darn good. However, I find myself frustrated by the autofocus, especially in low light and when the subject is in front of a complex background. What's your opinion on switching to a GFX 100s ii with the Fuji 500 mm prime for bird photography? Virtually all my bird photography on the X-T5 is at full zoom, 400mm. Obviously, I can expect more detail with the GFX, but what about autofocus and a subject that tends to move a lot?

This lens is nothing less than amazing. I pair this lens with my XH2. The SOOC with film recipes are wonderful. I have no need for doing any major editing to the images. I wish Viltrox would produce more Pro lens such as this one and the 75mm. I would by them all. And I wish Viltrox would dare to produce a couple lens for the GFX line.

I'm here for this kinda content! Thanks

❤👍

Thank you dude.

canon r8 has no ibis

I have just been gifted a pretty much new X-T4, its beautiful but I think I need a grip for it...

I use a bunch of lenses on my X-H2. Firmware 3.01 and 5.0 had terrible AF. I missed most of the shots of my new puppy because of that. I went back to firmware 2.01 and it's wayy better. I suspect the brand is slashing capital expenditures because phones are rapidly replacing cameras so all the AF engineers left the company

Thanks

As an addendum I also ordered a grip for my 5D MK IV, a DSLR, which is going to be my back up eclipse camera.

I have just purchased an R5 MK II and an R6 MK II in preparation for the 2028 total solar eclipse in Sydney. Do I really need battery grips? The answer lies in the possible loss of the opportunity to shoot during totality due to a weak battery. I would rather gamble on the cost of the grips than risk the loss of the opportunity to shoot during totality because my battery went out on my R5 or R6.

I like the 13mm more for human portrait compare to my 56mm since it give me equal image of what I see on the mirror, but only if take it close to the object. That is why for video, I really love the way I look with this lens. I only got the 56mm recently just for object portrait like animal to not intimidated them.

Great video Pete. Are all the settings that you made saved to C1? I'm a little unclear what settings are saved to C1 and which are not. Once setting are setup do you have to press a save button to save to a custom preset (C1, C2..) Thanks for all your effort.

Wouldn’t be nice if your video camera is focusing also in both cameras and also your face in the same time rather just your face. This video should be called Focusing only on me and not the cameras because my face is the subject of the review. I like your channel because you do explain things better than other KZbinrs but you should know better when it comes focusing subjects. It should be all in focus everything in front or centre. 👍

Thank you very much for your lovely videos!

I bought this TTArtisan lens some time ago and it's ideal for portraits. The sharpness makes a significant difference in my shots.

Been watching a year now and you have been VERY helpful THANK YOU!!!! PICK ME PETE!!! TY

Love mine...bye Fuji :)

Do I upgrade to XH2S, XT5 from XT4 or go to Sony for A7IV or to Nikon for ZF or Z6III?

The main purpose of the film sim dial is to help identify which reviewers are shills or at best compromised. None of them like or use the dial and you can instantly dismiss any following opinion they own if they don't immediately dismiss it as absurd...

GREAT INFO ON ACCURATE COLOR! Thanks for this video...

I found a used condition one for $225! It is such an amazing lens. Perfect all-rounder lens that can basically do it all. Some complain about the size but honestly, after holding it for a little while, it is not as bad as people think especially if you use it on the X-H or X-T bodies. I’ve been recently thinking of getting a 35 prime for that “nifty-fifty”, but I feel that most lenses aren’t anywhere close to the quality of this lens over the whole aperture range.

Are you having any issues with continuous auto focus or have they now resolved these concerns?

Just picked up the R5 Mk 2... It's a pile of plastic junk and makes a terrible sound... It's so disappointing.

Thanks for doing these videos Pete! I’ve been looking into the Fuji cameras lately and this looks like a really nice, fun and capable camera. Looking to get a Fuji as my ‘all-day walk around’ camera and also to have something lighter to take with me on my flying trips ✈️ 👨‍✈️ Any thoughts about choosing this over the X100VI/V ? Keep these videos coming… enjoying them a lot (and I’m not even a Fuji shooter (yet 😊) )

Maybe strange for some of you - I'm still used for critical important shots "oldie but goldie" nikon's DLSR's d750 and d850. Fuji's AF is not near old "3d tracking" of those. Using X100V and XT4 as "B" cameras I'm quite happy - but, for now, refuse to "switch" from FF to Fuji X, as professional system. Too high risk in many situations - shooting mostly political/economical events

What's your favorite tip or trick for setting up your Fujifilm camera??

🙌 What a PROFESSIONAL

That outdated toggle switch ruins it all. So so difficult to navigate menus.

Such a great buy! The autofocus is smooth, and the overall build feels really sturdy with the metal body. I’m loving it.

I’ve had it since the day R5 got into my hands and I love the combo. I can’t do r5 without my rf 50 f1.2

I wanted to wait for an E5 or xpro4 rangefinder bodies but I finally bought it and it is the only camera I feel attracted to like a magnet. The x100vi is barely used and the a7cr as compact and good as it is feels like a massive boring brick to me

I have an H2s & XT5, both since they launched. I have shot an XT3 previously and 5DMKII. I find myself not liking something about the xt5 and I can't put my finger on it. there is something just off. I've been thinking about trading it in for either an XH2 or a used GFX. Any thoughts?

The flip screen is the MAJOR perhaps only reason why i didnt and wouldnt consider XT5. I like to close the DOOR and protect the screen. I am no vlogger, but dont want to keep worrying about the screen getting damaged with my handling of the camera while I am out and about. :D :D

Ap ring is a must for retro
