I bought one on release and sold it one month later. This was a big mistake. I wanted one for a long time and searched, but the most to buy are in really bad conditions. Thank you for your video. The "old" sensor and lens producing wunderful pictures. Dont ever sell it, not for a million. ❤❤❤

I liked the photos very much. Thank you for sharing!

Amazing photos! Which film simulation did you use? May I known what adjustments you used? Thank you so much!

I’m enjoying having my CLE, and I need to pick up my first roll, and drop off the second (and third) at the lab. 40mm rokkor, and I got a m-hexanon 28mm to go with it. 🤷‍♂️

They need to update the XF18mm.

Somehow the yt algorithm send me to this video 🤗 I’m considering a used XT3 as my first ever travel camera! I’ve only been shooting with a drone and the latest iPhone so far. Which lenses would you recommend as a starting point for travel photography? Mostly street, landscape and very rarely portraits. Ty

Can you provide camera sample pics gdrive link or other, plan to buy xt30ii but my people and store person are suggesting sony.. bit confusion, so I have to check image quality, in KZbin pics are so messed up. Please..

looking for a camera that can be a cheap video camera to connect to the computer to be a top down video perspective . what camera should i choose

x-t30 II is a good choice, pretty compact and impressive cam. x-t50 doesn't make any sense since paying 20% more gets you x-t5 with plenty benefits. 50% price bump just because people still buy.. but it's got film sim dial 🤡

Old? here i am using a XT-1 and looking to buy a X-e1

I have one too! It's a wonderful little camera. So light and handy for when I don't want to carry an X-T4 with a big lens. If you don't have any pancake lenses yet, (sorry if I've forgotten) try out the voightlander manual focus ones or the fuji 27mm f/2.8 of course.

Did you edit the pictures ar 0:55 1:32 and 1:35, or did you use a film simulation recipe?

Some lovely images, the black and whites stand out for this Q shooter…✌️🇦🇺

I expected it to be another AI-generated video but was pleased to see it is actually a real video!! Great job!!! Keep it up!!!

Great video, thsnk you. I love my 27mm but thinking of getting the 18mm too for wider shots. Italy is one of my favourite places for photography and to visit ;) Some of my best shots are taken there!

I like the third picture, it looks a bit surreal

Such a clear explanation. Thank you!

Hi and thanks for the video. I am very tempted in getting the xf 16-80mm f/4 r ois wr lens for my x t-30 II for the versatility in focal lengths. I would use it mainly for streetphotography. Do you think for the same budget I should go for something else, like a fixed lens? Or is the quality of this zoom more than worth it? (I currently only have a 27 mm 7Artisan f2.8)

Nice.

Gorgeous work ❤

I like both.

What a great video, well presented and narrated with such a lovely voice 😊

👍🏻👍🏻

will be good to show the f stop, shutter and iso used

Great shots!!!

I find the 27mm 2.8 v2 very tight due to the 40mm apsc equivalence but the sharpness and AF is fast and reliable. Is the 18mm f2 on par with the AF if I use it on the fujifilm XE3? My worries is that the lens would struggle to autofocus during street photography

For me, it's about the feel of the lens. I'm mostly a 28mm shooter, but that AF on the 18mm is noticable, even on newer bodies. If you need faster autofocus, go with the 27. I really hope they make a markii of the 18mm.

Congrats on the X-T5! I'm using the X-T4, X100V and just got an X-T30ii in silver as a non-weather sealed, interchangeable lens alternative to the X-T4. I put a grip on the X-T4 so it's really heavy and large now which is good for my zoom lenses (16-55 and 70-300) but it looks silly with the 27mm pancake on it! I really like the X-T30ii with the smaller primes. Can't wait to take it on some trips. I still have a week left to decide if I want to keep the 16-55 or return it. It's so big and heavy but it takes phenomenal photos at f/2.8 all the way through. The real test will be this weekend in London, how much does my neck/shoulder hurt after a day out with the X-T4 and the grip.

I've bought both but sold the 27mm. I find the 27mm lacks character while the 18 has similar character to the original 23 and 34 Fuji lenses.

This looks great! Usually I think these are too warm but your tweak is spot on 🤙🏼

It ma be cheap but it feels good. 🤗

Thanks for the info! I still can’t decide 😂 😅

This was very helpful! Thank you for making this video. Love your sample images!

Nice comparison. I didn’t like the xe4 after using it for 6 months. Felt like toy, compared to my xt3. Nice size though. Would love the x100v but impossible to get in the UK at the moment, plus not sure I need it really. I loved the x100f but ultimately, not the biggest fan of the 35mm FOV. Camera decision, are so tough 😂

by the sample photos and the size comparison, I think I will go for the 27 mm as my first pancake lens choice

what's the best settings when shooting group pictures? thanks

Thanks for a very interesting helpful review. If you use the original 27mm lens on a XE4 how do you chnage aperture?

It has soul and gives the XE4 an extraordinary mojo. I won’t sell mine. Super cool video. Cheers from 🇫🇷

Hi, nice review and great sample images. May I ask which film recipe you used? It looks great!

Were these Raw or jpg? How'd you manage to get the sky so nicely colored?

Great images. I have the 27mm which I love, but I think I will get the 18mm as well and keep both.

The 27mm is just perfect in the pocket on my X-M1

came for lens review, got some asmr lmao

very good aspect view 👍. may i know what fuji recipe do you use on sample photo? it look nice vintage.

Is your x-t30 a mark ii or a i? And if it isn't, does anyone know if the mark ii has the same issue with the shutter?

I was about to get an x-t30 but when i tested the shutter at the store i went for an x-e4, just because that! The x-t30 sounds like it has two steps and, if its the same as the x-t100 (same sound) it also produces a lot of vibration on the whole camera, making shutter speeds above 100 unusable

35mm is such a great length for aps-c. I'm using a TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 - it has quickly become my 'everyday' lens because it is so small and light, at only 180 grams (plus suuuper cheap!)

Thank you! I have Helios 44М2. It’s a good and cheap lens (got it for 20$). Love the images by this soviet comrade.

Such a nice video. Thank you! Btw, you have beautiful calming voice

You have a beautiful voice. Good lens.
