[@JackAmeen]

I love this guy .. he motivates me to buy fujifilm but also demoralise me at the same time.. 😂😂😂😂

[@kuechen_philosoph]

first video of this dude and I already love him!

[@80-80.]

The most interesting thing vloggers should take note of from this video is that he tried to show us a dog on the street but Fuji refused to focus on it.

[@LTPottenger]

Fuji focuses not on what we want, but what we need to see. And we're grateful

[@jimpap13]

Who cares when you got pop!

[@Lesderniersbatisseurs]

fuji looks so good on you

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Fuji is made for him. The look is awesome.

[@aymanab12]

Wow! This video is absolutely stunning! The quality and color are top-notch. Fantastic job by you and Fujifilm!

[@Brewbug]

Pop-notch?

[@Necrovore_YT]

Everyone: 3D pop isn't a thing, Kasey. It doesn't exist. Kasey (exhales after taking a drag off a carrot that he's pretending is a cigarette): Listen, kid. I know what I saw.

[@TK421-53]

Not everyone. It is a combination of lens, aperture, distance to subject, distance to background, the background. Some lenses have a specific way of rendering the in focus subject and transition to out of focus background in such a way you see your subject pop. Most modern lenses render such a way that the transition is smoother, it is flatter. Of course it is all 2d, but the way our brain translates the image, one has pop and the other is flat. But again, like good bokeh vs bad bokeh, the background is important to show the best and worst of a lens.

[@AANasseh]

The Rainy filter looked magical!! You have invented a new filter!!!

[@jonuiuc]

[@GeorgeLow-e8x]

Haha, yes.

[@domidarko1166]

I saw 3D pop once but I was wearing 3D glasses while cooking popcorn.

[@lewstv1597]

The fuji images are so cinematic!

[@ctruett5]

Colors and the skin tones on this video look great.

[@henriquenakandakare]

The thing with the 3D pop is the fall off of the focus area and non-focus area. And how smooth is this transition. And another thing is the imperfection on the corners. This makes the image lean to the center and makes it "more real". Because when we look to something the rest we even don't pay attention to them. The imperfection of the corners helps to stay focused on certain parts of the frame. That's why "3D pop" lens looks more natural, the fall off is more natural and the imperfections from the corner make the image different from center to corner. Minimizing the 2D look. Of course, the intention of video, and photography doesn't need to replicate reality, and makes this type of art. Is an expression, not a replication. So 3D pop can be more pleasant, but when this look has that purpose. If we need a total visualization of the frame, just use a normal sharp and clean lens. The problem will be the look. The separation in these lenses are weird, looks 2D or green screen, because the image has the same behavior from center to corner.

[@jebeq2007]

The original 18-55mm kit is one the best kits ever and one of my favorite lens. You can see at 13:54 it even has better color than the new kit lens. I was lucky and probably got one of the last new in box 18-55mm sold. I will never let this one go.

[@Bradum]

I definitely need a side-by-side with the XF 35mm 1.4 and the Zeiss 32mm 1.8

[@LukaS-iy1gs]

I was disappointed when I bought my xs10 secondhand and it came with the old 23mm f1.4. It didn't have the sharpness that my brothers ricoh gr had. But, used it for shits and giggles on a recent trip to Sevilla and man, it's got so much character, the 3d pop is real! I'm a believer! I used the 16:9 crop, since the 23 is a tad too wide for my taste, and I was blown away

[@Wolfgahto]

This video just confirmed my bias on the new fujifim lens. Thanks for doing the work to show the differences between them. 3D pop is real shun the no believers shun.....

[@ivandj707]

3D pop is not something we pay much attention to, so we rarely or never notice it. I recently watched a video comparing the Viltrox 20mm vs the Zeiss Loxia 21mm. The KZbinr who did the comparison was mostly focused on whether the 10x price difference was worth it, but his examples were great, because he had both lenses and shot the identical scene under identical conditions, the 3D pop was more than obvious with the Zeiss Loxia 21mm. But again, to emphasize, it was so obvious because the examples were placed side by side, if I hadn't seen what the Loxia shot looked like, the second shot would have been fine with me. (And now I am in love with Loxia lenses, it's a shame I'll never be able to afford them.)

[@McClurePhotography]

Ultimate 3D pop test, ZEISS 32mm 1.8 vs Fuji 35mm 1.4 🙏 The cinema would be ours. Also if you can get the chance to use the Fuji 90mm F2 it is definitely is legendary!

[@vascotek]

100% agree on the 90mm f2 is a magical lens

[@JohnAudioTech]

Fujisonic autofocus pulsing in the background 🎶🎵

[@thebetergede]

so annoying

[@fstarkb]

Your outfit and looks remember me of Gordon Freeman from Half Life (this is a compliment btw). Go and fight some aliens with a Canon Cripple Hammer or something.

[@drebarnesmdotcom]

I always use the 18-55mm for video. Shot an entire music video with it but when doing portrait photography, it’s the 35mm 1.4, 56mm 1.2, 90mm 2, and very rarely it’s the 14mm.

[@matthewryan9935]

Great video! Once you see the pop - you can't go back!

[@KirillSkobelev]

You have a video saying that Viltrox 56mm 1.4 is the greatest lens ever - is it still true or the 56mm 1.2 is meaningfully better and worth the cost difference?

[@Canadianblaken]

Appreciate the Fuji content!

[@rdtstudios]

My top Fuji’s lens 16mm f1.4, 23mm f1.4 wr, 33mm f1.4 wr, 56mm f1.2 wr and 90mm f2

[@FeralGinger]

Another great video man The 35 f1.4 is still the GOAT for Fuji pop. Regarding the 90mm it's an incredibly sharp and fast lens (owned it for phoDOGraphy for a while, but yeah, too punched in to be a genuinely useful daily lens) Agreed with the Viltrox 56 assessment I've just sold mine for an OG Fuji 56mm f1.2 and that DEFINITELY has the pop and looks a LOT nicer. I know you're not a big photography man I've I've recently had the Sony RX1R, that thing has the most popular I've had from some of my images to date... Still sold it for the Leica Q which is better and every way!

[@andreportolesi6867]

“Have you picked your gender yet? No, that’s 3rd grade.” Killed me 😂😂😂

[@lelandfitz1762]

Wow, the Viltrox 56mm was the only lens I saw 3D-Pop, even before you said that it doesn't LOL I think it's time to overthink the ED-glass = 3D-Pop-Killer equation

[@DiversionScience]

I have the cinema version for micro four loser, love that lens. 3D pop gets killed by in-camera lens corrections, that's why native lenses are so boring now. He'll figure it out one day.🤫

[@AI3Dorinte]

Dude what the hell did you do?!? Why is this image so god damn good, skin tones, mood, color saturation, everything is so fucking good!!!! I don't want a fuji, i hate fuji, stop doing this to me!!! Edit: the mk1 version of the kit lens, not the viltrox ffs!!!

[@rpmusick]

Its jus a fujinon lens with a good fuji camera and right settings

[@AI3Dorinte]

@@rpmusick so basically nobody knows how to use fuji? That's a problem in itself since all these reviewers get awesome results with sony/canon/panasonic. But if I am fair about this I think that's my favorite look so far if i don't count giant cinema cameras like the c70.

[@rpmusick]

@@AI3Dorinte yeah I would argue that people don't know how to use their cameras and that fuji settings can be counter intuitive, it took me at least 2 years to figure out what different settings do to the image and to understand what settings I actually want to use

[@sergiopablo6555]

I use the 35/1.4 80% of the time, and it's something special.

[@ElMacho0423]

[@lerx1980]

I'd love the same video for Canon and Nikon too.

[@asyetundetermined]

Really regret selling my X-H1 and 18-55. Been eyeing an old X-T1 to get back into the fuji world. I only use center point focus and recompose so the old tech doesn’t bother me.

[@NacimZahouani]

Thank you for the goodness almost left fuj then ... yeahhh ... I hear you from Singapore. I'm in the fuj fo 10 y... the 16f1.4 and the 56f1.2( Original) are POP lenses ... that said you didn't think of the 90 f2 it has something to... I own 16-55, 50-140, 23fe,35f2, 10-24, just got the tamron 17-70f2.8 to replace my broken 16-55.... i have to work lol... nice but the 16-55 original had this prime thing pop the tamron don't... so clinical sharp, no soul but does the job. Thank you again, your latest video did help me give a second chance to fuj and i will get this damn 35f1.4 I'm stopping my self for years but now you did it !!! live long and prosper.

[@ShadesOClarity]

That older kit lens isn't bad. I'll admit that it took me awhile to finally see 3D Pop. When I did I cannot unsee it.

I just love how the Fuji wouldn't focus on the dog even if it were a thread to your life

[@JazzyJ5G]

The AF pulsing on the Viltrox was quite noticeable as you moved further away from the camera. I love the Fujifilm look and intend to get the XS-20 when I'm able to.

[@alpigiano]

I was looking forward to this video, great picture despite the winter haze. I would like to see what you think of the 60mm f2.4, it's a great lens with vintage character. Pop? Maybe. The autofocus may be objectively too slow, but it's half the weight of the 56mm. I agree on the 33 vs 35: I switched and I can only see positives. OK apart from the bokeh being busier on the 35. Keen to try the 50mm f2, 9 elements; I do believe the 90mm may pop because of the background compression and how sharp it is, but it's heavy to lug around. Thank you!

[@iransirijillo]

Mr. Conspiracy dude, you’re absolutely correct about it, 3D pop is a thing and after research about it I came to the conclusion that less glass elements and right amount of vignetting give you some of that pop, I also own the 16 1.4 fuj, it’s incredible but another 3D king is the Loxia 50 f2

[@benheo]

Zeiss 32mm f/1.8 has the ultimate pop. I will never sell this lens!

[@Chrizzowski]

Hot take, I prefer the 33. It might not be poppin', but it's not without character. Get all the LM and WR goodness without being totally devoid of soul. Sometimes I swear I even get a bit of a swirl with the right background and distance to subject. The least clinical of the modern Fuji primes, followed by the 56, and then the 18 that's so good it's almost bad.

What do you think about the fuj 50mm T1.0? Not for nature but for one of your portrait scenes?

[@jeromekwok]

I own 16f1.4 & 56f1.2. The colors are great. I could live with these two forever. I also owned and sold 18f2 and 35f1.4, the colors are not as good as 16 and 56. 80f2.8 Macro also has very good color, but the pictures are too sharp for my taste, and the focal length is not my favorite.

[@andrewknowles6731]

[@tommybarno]

oh man, no one explained better the feeling that i have looking at pictures, the background separation of the subject that i see in pictures taken with my old canon ef 50 mm f1.4 USM on the 6D is not present in my newer fuji xt30II even with the magical xf 35 f1.4 only the 56 1.2 go somewhere near, but it is not comparable, picture taken with ef 50 mm are tridimensional the other ones are a tridimensional subject with a flat glued background

When you took the filter off the stabe got much jerkier. Is that because the shutter speed got faster to maintain the exposure?

[@matiascontursi457]

Hi, thanks for the video! I have the Fuji 16mm f1.4, did you try its macro capability? It's incredible how close you can focus. I also use the Zeiss Touit 32mm 1.6, it has a 3D pop that's unique to Fuji lenses. Greetings from Argentina!

[@jboutame9113]

What conclusions would you come up with if you started with specs for a vlogging lens where a certain combination of focal length and aperture is desired? For real life use, it might be different specs for different settings: indoor or outdoor, close up or landscapes, objects in motion or sitting still. The choice of a lens will greatly vary between the settings and use. But my point is, what would to come up with if you started on paper with lens specs and scenarios, and then moved to lens quality? You can “design” several lenses with a range in focal lengths and apertures. Then, test for image stability and lens quality. And finally, select a body for the desired features and ease of use. Is this too nerdy?

[@Photographysoup]

I own the newer 23 & 33 1.4 they both show Pop. Yes while it’s a more clinical render but it does have 3d pop also would like to add the 50mm f2 for that beautiful micro contrast While the older lenses do render beautifully (I have the 35mm 1.4), however for my line of work it requires the hire detail that the 40mp resolves.

I LOVE my XF56 T1.2, sweet lens. Have you ever tried any Canon FD lenses? I know they're all manual focus. But, I've used a few and seem to like them. I have the FD135mm f3.5 and the 28mm f2.8. I'd love to get something wider like the 17mm or even a 24mm but the prices for them are much higher. Well, have a great weekend!

The 18-55 is a great little lens. It would be a fullframe equivalent of 28-84mm. The new 16-50 would be closer to what a normal ff zoom lens would be which is 24-70 except in this case the fuji is 24-75mm. The lack of Ois sucks for people without ibis.

Kasey, are you doing a lot of grading to the vlog videos here? Or is this just what you get if you shoot f-log(1) or something? I think they look really good - simple, clean, realistic - and would like to achieve that look, but I don't have experience shooting let alone grading video. I'm wondering if just "set it to audio and choose f-log" gets me enough of the way there, or do I have to get DaVinci and all that other stuff to achieve what you have here and pull out the 3-d pop.
