Enjoyed the video Phil👍 Looking at choices for my next Fuji lens. Was considering a WR rated telephoto as an “add on” for my 35mm f2 and 16mm f1.4 for some street photography however, I already have a Tamron 18 - 270 paired with a Canon 40D (for dry days with decent light!) so leaning towards the 90 f2. In your opinion would this be a better choice for Street?

You're an inspiration bro. Keep up the YT grind, psyched I just found your channel!

The irony of showing off a super wide angle lens on a vertical KZbin short is not lost on me.

Hope you well Phil. Great conversation my friend… i am on the same boat…started in the 90s with Nikon, and over the years i moved slowly to fujifilm xt2 and xt3… absolutely fall in love with it. I was actually getting more work recognition than my full frame work. I still have those fujifilm cameras , and yes they are slow and have less technology that the new stuff, but I don’t need it for my work… i thunk people chase technology and autofocus and forget that you don’t really need that, at least I don’t and i did master the cameras potential. Also work with older lenses , 23.1.4 , 35 1.4 and 56 1.2 and don’t need any better. The colours are amazing, that I’m using my Nikon less and less and like you i have a bad back from carrying heavy cameras since 1998. Keep cool brother

Great tip !! Xx annoyed I didn’t think of this myself 😂😂 defo using it at my wedding this weekend xx

Nice review man!! How does the Autofocus hold up on the 90mm? I’ve seriously been considering it.

Phil, you stand out on KZbin. These quick and precise tips were/are helpful. Relating to people is not a strong suit of mine, but I like your push of building relationships with bride, groom, party, family, etc. throughout the day.

Thanks for the info, Phil! On the fence between this and the infamous Viltrox 75mm 1.2…

dope stuff. Going on an engagement session now. Definitely gonna try a few of these. Looking forward to more stuffs from you

Phil, you taught these tips very well. Clear and helpful. I know posing doesn’t have to be intimidating but I way overthink it. Thanks for your help! *oh and I came over to your channel via Omar’s

Thank you for the video! I pray for a full recovery for you in Jesus name.

100% 🔥 Great advice!

Thanks for this video. How did you like the battery pack for the XT4? I wish the batteries were positioned differently so that the battery grip was a touch smaller. But as a shooter who picked these cameras for their weight, did you feel the xt4's grip was too much?

preach!

Wow just found your channel what 4 videos which 3 was about lenses 33mm, 18mm and 90mm which became the lenses I will get for my fujixt5 which I got recently, and with the motivator pack I have everything just to go out and enjoy.. To the point, very fluid, enjoyable content with so much insipiration and information. You are a gem. Thank you Phil 🙏🏽

Totally agree its beautiful lense to shoot

Hi there, Im a fuji wedding shooter, love your channel, you make things seem so easy! God bless and love from Scotland.

I shot the X-T2 for 4 wedding seasons. I loved the size and weight. It was fantastic. It did struggle in dark rooms, even with the larger AF point size. But there were features (1/32000s - which was way more useful than I ever thought it would be), that weren't available on any other camera system at the time. I used to take that camera and a lens everywhere. Great for weddings, great as a travel camera. I switched to the Nikon Z6 II, it's been very solid as a wedding camera - as much as people complain about the AF quality, I absolutely LOVE it. ....BUT.....I just don't take it with me anywhere outside of weddings. The few times I have, it still reminds me of my old brick of a Nikon D3s - it's just not fun to travel with. ... I've had those Z6 II's for three years, and ready to move back to Fuji with the X-T5. Ready to buy one, and grab an 18mm f/1.4, as I'm a sucker for the 28mm focal length. Give it go for a while, and see what happens. ...even if it's just my "FamCam"...

Hi Phil, your set up is the natural result that is obtained through common sense systematically applied. But I think that the most valuable equipment is the one between the camera's viewfinder and the back of your head. You are inspirational to many from different perspectives! Go on! 10x

Great video! I love your honesty and approach. This is the first video I have seen of yours and looking forward to checking out more of your content. I currently own a Pentax 645Z and while I love this camera and the image quality there is a lot to be desired as, new technology becomes available specifically when it comes to auto focus, tethered, shooting, and the ability to transfer files to my phone for immediate sharing. This is one of the cameras I am considering as I shoot a lot of portraiture however, also do some landscapes and street scenes. What are your thoughts about post processing and the flexibility of the files? The files that come out of the 645Z can be pushed and pulled so far that I could take an image that looks black and raise the exposure and other levels and see full detail. Your thoughts on this are greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

I’ve also switched to Fuj but can not bring myself to sell my Nikon d500. That’s my wildlife and birds in flight camera.

I picked up a xt30ii last month do you have any perspective on it?

The “real things happen” is brilliant. This dude is smart, he broke down something complex into what a dunce like me can understand 🙌

Thanks for all your info! I’m gonna test this saturday on a wedding party🙏🏻💪🏻 Greetz from Holland!

Fuji is killing it right now. They are making it way too easy to turn haters into fan boys.

Subscribed! Came from Omar’s channel. I do love the old 35mm f1.4 lens. Such a versatile focal length

You are the first photographer I have ever heard talk about the vendor relationship with how you dress! Excellent point! Do you always where the money maker with two cameras wile working or do you sometimes take it off to blend in more?

Your word is golden!

Best Fuji / Wedding Content on KZbin hands down.

So true!

Swim like a fish in the water. I appreciate your recommendation. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏻

Agreed!

I've got the 8-16mm f2.; it's a total sunner of a lens!

Totally agree 🙂

Great video! Would the 8mm be too wide for real rstate photography?

Phil! Where do you rent your lenses from? Is there a good company out there along the lines of an MPB or somerhing?

Buddy after long time

Good to see you! Interesting lens. Somehow extreme, but very interesting results!!!

I have the sigma xf10-18mm which is great for weddings reception dance floor shots

Cameras move in waves. Alot of youtubers gets gears for free to try out so their hype I need to take it with a grain of salt. Yet , people look at their productions and they start to flock to that gear but in the end it's not even meant for their work flow. Having "GAS" after watching these youtubers are pretty dangerous. This isn't a real statistic but what I go buy everyday is to create beautiful photography it's 90% creativity and feel and 10% gear.

I don’t see you lately here! Hope everything is ok! Cheers.

You're the reason why I believe in Fuji. transitioned over from Sony this year and It has been such a beautiful experience.

So much great advice in one video. Subscribed!

Here from Omar’s channel bro, love your work looking forward to your stuff.

great work!

Hi Phil, I´m also using the 33mm 1.4 but always have the feeling that it is not really sharp at 1.4, as the 56mm 1.2 at 1.2. What is your experience?

I saw you on another KZbin video and I liked your contributions so I thought I would check out your channel. Glad I did as this sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Looking forward to catching up on your content.

My guy. You’re magic. Love watching you share your gift dude. Your color has been legendary for so long - great to see this hit the market.

Whatever you say is fact. Not my favorite lens but that must mean I’m shooting it wrong. ❤

I was always a fan of Fuji till I bought a camera and turn me off now I’m looking into running with the fujifilm GFX 100s or Sony A7RV but Fuji was always my top camera. Love to learn Fuji
