[@JacquesGaines]

Been considering going to Fuji. This helps. Thank you

[@porcupinetailings]

Ken, your audio is excellent. Thanks for continuing to use the new mic. These Fuji X lenses are such high quality, but it's not a surprise to anyone who's used Fuji for a long time. Even back to fixed prime's they included in the GA645 medium format.

[@robertktw]

any macro lens? thx!

[@noeggi]

oh i love the 18-135 as my hiking lens when i am out in the alps over weekends. some very crisps shots i made with it.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+noeggi CRISPY SHOTS heheeheh!!! lucky dood is the Alps!

[@TheKiwiJobes]

+Theoria Apophasis How do you deal with the fuji x trans raw's in lightroom? i've seen so much about the files having issues with softness etc

[@Carmerafe]

+TheKiwiJobes Ken uses iridient developer for fuji x trans

[@keertirathore4650]

I am planning to buy Fuji XT10, what lenses should i consider along with with. my basic purpose is for weddings and vacations.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

basic, weddings and vacations ehhh…. easy 18-135 Fuji (find one used on ebay) and due out in 3 days the 23mm F2

[@keertirathore4650]

i want to carry light. so which portrait and wide lens would you recommend. If I buy the 16-55mm lens which other lens should i carry which is light. Also which prime lens would you suggest

[@SuperKit1991]

16 and 56, done

[@helder-luis]

Hi, thank you for your videos. Can you do a video about macro photography and which is the best Fuji lens or lens + macro extension tube combination. Thanks!

[@NetvoTV]

X-E3 18-55mm or 23mm combo to get if you plan to save up and get 16mm f1.4 later? Or just get 16mm f1.4 as first lens? Will they release 18mm f2 anytime soon? If get 18mm should I still get 16mm? Enthusiast use but plan to sell photos to stock image or other online platform later for quick money.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

youd get more use out of a 18 55 and 23mm for ALL use than just the 16mm, regardless of how great it is..... i dunno on the new 18mm :)

[@DejanMaleticDexter]

Can you post the your sample photos with this Fuji lenses?

[@cassioduarte2267]

Hi! Thanks for your informative videos! Just a question if you can help me: what in your opinion would be better considering the sharpness of the images: buying a 18-55mmm and a 55-200mm or just a 18-135mm? The last one would be great in terms of simplicity, but what do you think based on your experience working with them? I am planning to buy a X-T2 during a trip I am going to do and I could not decide yet what is better: buying it with the 18-55mm or just the machine and sepparatelly the lens of 18-135mm. Thanks in advance!!!

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

18 55 and 55 200

[@cassioduarte2267]

Thanks very much!

[@claudechopin6738]

Love my 18-135! Brought it on my trip to Barcelona and got such stellar shots!

[@DannyBulmer]

what would you suggest if i was looking for A WIDE under f4 ??

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Danny Bulmer 16mm fuji, their best lens for sure. i own it

[@Weyoun359]

I'm considering the 55-200 to complement the 18-55. I mostly shoot Gymnastics and Soccer and I've been cropping a lot! lol. I also have the 27 and the 35 also on the wish list. I have about 1,200 to spend. what do you recommend?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Weyoun319 sports...roger roger........$1200 on lenses ONLY? .......right now theyre on sale until April 1st 55 200........definitely the 35mm F2.........my next one would (in your case) a 60mm macro Fuji for about $350+ used :) but yes the pancake 27mm is the tits :P

[@Weyoun359]

+Theoria Apophasis lol thanks!

[@phuphotography749]

What's ur opinion on the 50-140?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Phu Hy ouch, not good :(

[@savnacmusic2123]

what are your thoughts on the Fuji 18mm F/2??

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

most hated fujifilm lens :P heheheehhehe i own em all but 3, thats #1

[@savnacmusic2123]

aw darn i just ordered it! haha what don't you like about it?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

heehheh uhhhhm, i take that back then, its great…… ROFL its not like its CRAP………..its just got distortion hell, its sloooow and noisy, theres a TON of used ones on ebay for a reason Fujis worst lens is still perfectly fine………worst relative TO ----- "X"

[@savnacmusic2123]

Aw i see.. yeah I was thinking of selling it myself and getting the 23mm f2 instead! We'll see ;) thanks man!

[@myahya1987]

savnac Music Good choice.. The 23mm F2 is an awesome must have lens

[@ludo1632]

With the the 27mm and x-t2, I cannot set the camera to Program mode nor shutter priority mode. It seems that with the 27mm (because no auto/manual aperture knob on lens) I have only 2 options: aperture priority by setting the shutter speed knob to Auto or manual by setting the shutter speed to one of the speed settings. Is there a way to get those modes with this lens?

[@lskydivel]

Also got the 16mm half a year ago and it's absolutely stunning. Next will be the 35mm f/2.0. I would like to see a pancake 23mm f/2.0 (aka the x100 lens)

[@NetvoTV]

So 23mm f2 fit into your best Fuji lens lineup?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

generally, yes

[@MrMaltesumpf]

Thanks this was really helpful. I will start with the 35mm f2. The 16mm and an xt2 would be nice too.

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

The 90mm is the best portrait lens made imo. Don't get me wrong the 56 looks nice, but go ask anyone on the forums every portrait shooter who owns both prefers the 90. It's also WR too so that's a plus if you shoot outside and it might rain.

[@RSTEM]

56mm is not as fast or sharp, 90mm is the best

[@jarrodames139]

have you had a chance to use the 16-50 2.8 lens yet? I am considering diving into the fuji system and getting an X-T2. However, I can only budget for 1 lens at the start unless I go cheaper with the 18-55 and then something else. Just respect your opinion on this since I have no previous experience with Fuji.

[@cray56]

Hi Ken. Could you use a Nikkor 16-35m f/4G ED VR on the XT1? . Or is there one of the lenses in the Fuji that matches the 16-35? sorry noob question

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Cray yes but you need $100 adapter

[@cray56]

+Theoria Apophasis Cheers Ken. Is there anything = to the Nikkor 16-35m f/4G ED VR in Fuji at the moment? or would you suggest just go Nikon D750 or D810 with the 16-35? If I go D810 and 16-35 I will be owing $500 but if I went D750/16-35mm I can buy a tripod or go the XT1/adapter 16-35mm I can buy some flashes and tripod but then in a few weeks I could have paid the owing $500 off and then focus on tripod and flashes. . So confusing as there is so much out there. I have spent a full month watching YT vids to get the knowledge up to speed. I really appreciate / trust your input and will drop you a nice donation for your help

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

18-55 Fuji

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

Cray if you get an XT1, the ergos are great, but 100% better with a vertical grip, so dont forget that :)

[@FLORAMORAITINI]

Ken, there are adoptors to use Nikon Lenses for Fuji. What if I want to use the Fuji 16 on my Nikon D500 and D700. Is there such an adoptor or is one way only? Is it worth geting a Fuji lens for a Nikon camera?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

one way?

[@FLORAMORAITINI]

excuse my english. One way I mean nikon lenses can be used with an adabtor in Fuji camera, but not the other way around. Fuji lenses to be used by Nikon camera. Is there any adaptor for the latter.?

[@Dscar1]

Thoughts on the 23mms'? 1.4 or f2? Also I have the 14 and debating a switch to the 16mm. Thanks!

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

the F2 is much better and cheaper as well. I have the 14mm but never use it, the 16mm is much better

[@Dscar1]

Thanks! Keep up the amazing videos.

[@wisnuprimaputra1366]

should i buy Xf 55-200mm or 18-135mm?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

tough call,…..the 18-135 is one of only 3 superzoom that are incredible…..depends on what you have and want to do if only ONE, id certainly buy the 18 135 i own both of em :)

[@wisnuprimaputra1366]

My budget is on the Xf 55-200mm is that good enough?

[@wisnuprimaputra1366]

Thanks for quick respond

[@davidmthekidd]

what about the xf 18mm f2? for street photography.

[@SergeySus]

I've had it on my camera for a long time and love it.

[@nlloydhughes]

Brilliant videos. Brilliant! I'm just about to pick up an XT20 (you talked me into it); I like street photography and landscape (odd bit of portraiture) - I need small/lightweight - and don't have a ton of cash... Which two lenses? 16mm seems like a must, so bang goes a lllload of money, beyond that i'm thinking the 10-24mm, or maybe sticking to prime and getting a 23mm f2?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

well the 23mm wont cut it for lands, .... really the 16mm is amazing and worth it, and it also does VERY VERY close macro level photography

[@Guairenito]

+Theoria Apophasis which UV filter do you use in front of your Fuji glasses?

[@RaymondSigarlaki]

Thanks for the videos, they're awesome. I'm deciding between 10-24mm or 16mm? i tend towards 16mm, with the rationale of using my legs as the 'zoom' ;) what do you think?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Raymond Sigarlaki everyone asks that, nothing beats a wide zoom, however the 16mm is the absolute TITS and Fujis best lens. its an impossible choice, that one is.

[@josefpeacock9456]

Brilliant videos, thoroughly enjoy all your content. In your experience, would the 16mm f/1.4 be a good walk around/general purpose lens. I really want the 23mm f/2 (size & weight) but I cannot get the 16mm out of my head!!!! I do love the shallow depth of field. Thanks in advance.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

the 23mm 2 is the walk around, but the 16mm is by far my pick for walk around, with 24mm FOV equiv…..also you can shoot FING close with the 16mm……the 16mm is just the tits , fujis best lens.

[@stlmills911]

Coming from someone who's never shot with a prime lens I'm looking at possibly getting the 35 f2. I currently have the 18-55 and am considering either the 35f2 or the 55-200. Any suggestions or thoughts would be great. Thank you!

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Tyler for what use????? both are great, i own both, and ive used and tested every fuji X lens made.

[@stlmills911]

+Theoria Apophasis I shoot a lot of nature and abandoned places also birds and my dog. In the long run I plan on buying both but that won't be for awhile just trying to pick what's best first

[@KevZun]

@Theoria Apophasis no likey the 14mm f2.8? what x lens would you rather recommend and why?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+K ZU 16mm

[@KevZun]

+Theoria Apophysis thanks for the response. Would love to own the 16mm but because its new I can't afford, its quite pricey ... college student on a budget... Would the 10-24mm be as good? taking photos of landscapes

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

YES, HOWEVER THE 12-24 IS BETTER QUALITY (AND MADE IN JAPAN), AND A BETTER LENS, USED ITS TYPICALLY $110 MORE THAN THE 10-24 NIKKOR (CHINESE MADE)

[@KevZun]

+Theoria Apophysis holy crap very quick response! My fault i wasn't clear, i was talking about the fuji xf 10-24mm f4. But now that I've been doing some research, if i were to buy either the 16mm or the 10-24mm used, it would be close to the same price of $800 + u.s... which should i go for 16mm or 10-24? thanks for the response, found your channel today and subscribed immediately

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

the 16mm is the absolute tits, however at the same time a wide zoom is THE most useful lens (second actually) to own. the answer is a damn tough one.

[@marasaTQ]

what about the 16-55?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

Grrr no

[@shinsukyun]

Hey Ken, I'm thinking about returning my 35mm f2 and considering to purchase the 23mm - just because I am more used to the 35mm focal length on ff. Putting the focal length aside, would you have any recommendations or comments against me doing this - mainly in terms of image quality of these lenses and af? Thanks for your videos!

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Shinsuk Yun ahhh, focal length only . the 23mm isnt so hot a lens, i didnt buy it for a reason. but your needs are yours, so i cannot interject over that.

[@super-dude-]

Knowing they are very different, how do you compare the 10-24 vs the 16? Debating on a purchase.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Jeff Klassen two are diff critters, 16mm is best at 16mm of course, by a mile, but nothing more useful than a wide zoom thast a tough damn call.

[@thanosnfinity8109]

35mm f2 or 27mm 2.8 pancake ?

[@vamp07]

+Theoria Apophasis I picked up the 56mm APD version for $100 less then the non APD version. Any thoughts? I guess I'm turned off by the slower focusing speed and the APD effect which quite honestly is so minor I struggle to see it in the test images I have seen. What would you do?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Steven Fernandez I wouldnt buy the APD , but thats me personally, i dont like the effect, not one bit

[@vamp07]

Theoria Apophasis out of curiosity if I gave you an image taken with the APD version would you pick on the filter by looking at the image if you were not looking for the effect?

[@Geolog66]

Thanks for those informative, down-to-earth, yet humorous reviews! I already own 3 of those lenses so maybe I'm on the right track.

[@KennethRosenstroem]

Instead of the 18-55, did You considder 16-55 F2.8 ?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Kenneth Rosenstroem i used it and considered it for less than a second, its not much faster, MUCH more expensive, and the 18 55 actually performs better

[@KennethRosenstroem]

+Theoria Apophasis OK, I just read everywhere, it's sharper corner to corner, but maybe that's just not true, aka prime like. I have the 18-135, and was thinking of getting 16-55 + 55-200 for a bit more reach, and since I have the primes from 16-56, I was thinking of the 16-55 as a walk around lens. Don't realy need the OIS. SO in other words, You think the 18-55 outperforms the 16-55 right, even if we forget the OIS?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

instead of the 16-55 you can replace that with 2 great lenses, even forgetting the OIS, yes. is this statement slightly subjective on the 16-55? Yes, however as to its empirical attributes , its not a good value lens. better a 18 55 and a NICE Fuji prime for the same cost = much happier.

[@KennethRosenstroem]

+Theoria Apophasis Thanks Ken, I have the primes, was thinking of selling the 18-135, I am not happy with the tight zoom travel at the long end. Anyways, something to think about :) Decissions decissions he he

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

but do you NEED to sell it? :) well in such lenses, you can say, welllllll its a 18 - 120 lens and ignore the END, and its still a great lens.

[@cltf_]

35mm f2 or 23mm f2? which is superior in quality?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

both are 100% identical in quality build, did you mean IMAGE?

[@cltf_]

Build, image quality, auto-focus speed, sharpness?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

same same same 23mm f2 is far more useful

[@cltf_]

Thanks man!

[@kimyuseung]

Has the contest past?

[@curtismoore5352]

what about the 16 to 55mm?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Curtis Moore yahh, the much cheaper 18 55 is sharper and faster AF and is a much better deal. hated it

[@curtismoore5352]

Thanks

[@MrNYCman530]

Right now for my Fuji XT-10, I own the 18-55mm 2.8-4.0, 55-200mm 3.5-4.8mm and yesterday I bought the 16mm 1.4 on sale for $799, $200 off the regular price. I love these lenses and the XT-10 and my only issue with Fuji is that they have the flimsiest lens caps out of all the manufacturers. They easily come loose. So I replace them with the Sensei screw on metal lens caps. They are fantastic and sell for less than ten dollars each.

[@KristofferTrolle]

Noob question: if I want a fuji tele lens for low light, what do I pick, and how important is image stabilization in low light? 90mm prime f2 vs 50-140mm zoom f2.8 with image stabilization, what to pick?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Kristoffer Trolle VC is important in low light yes. however better holding technique is just as important. 50-140 2.8 is not a lens needed by most people, but most people lust after it for obvious reasons. what? underexpose by as much as 3 stops to nail the focus with high enough shutter and raise in post.

[@KristofferTrolle]

+Theoria Apophasis Thanks for the anwser, and thanks for your videos, keep it up!! :)

[@TheKimmak]

Great Video! Very helpful information. Thank you.

[@patio87]

I so wish Fuji would make a 23mm f2 or just something at 23mm that's cheaper than the current one.

[@shifteleven]

+patio87 Agreed. And if it were close in size to the 27mm I would be thrilled. It would give the X-Pro an x100 like form factor.

[@Carmerafe]

Have a look at zonlai 25mm 1.8 if you don't mind the manual focus, bit of vineggting and some distortion. But for the price. Darn, shaaap

[@myahya1987]

I've read somewhere that it's already in the making, and to be released sometime this year, along with 200mm F2 and 33mm F1

[@theindivisible]

you got your wish!

[@eksmaan]

10-24, 16, and 56mm. Major wants in that order. When the next XT cam comes out, I'd love the 50-140. Agreed on skipping the 90. Great video.

[@patio87]

You've come a long way from "I'm just going to get a xt10 to use with my zeiss glass"

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+patio87 my XT10 is my fave pack around. Ohhh i didnt come that far, Fuji doesnt make that many lenses.

[@hfuffvnjvnijd8989]

Hey man! mayb you can try out some samyangs for fuji X. i bought the 10mm f/2.8 and its f## sharp. and manual focus is fun. keep up the cool vids! grts from holland

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Jurgen den Uijl i just did a vid on a samyang 8mm

[@donski170]

How do you get all of these Zeiss, Nikon ect lenses? You have a war chest full of them. Retired?????

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Don Gronczewski i haz retired , kinda :/

[@mcimpoeru]

I like your honesty, Ken! High five!

[@Gohjunyi88]

if I could only buy 1, xf16f1.4 or xf16-55f2.8 ?

[@sumitagg1]

You’ve said in more recent videos that the only issue with 35f1.4 is the aperture chatter and the slow focus. Here you contradict.. need some help as I’m getting the 35f1.4 for $300 vs the 35f2 for $350

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

crap??? you found a 35mm 1.4 for $300??? buy it man !!!!! chatter is not a problem...... its like a mosquito biting your ankle.....in a totally QUIET room only no less.

[@coutsss2]

Very nice line up of pristine glass right there!! I have the 14mm in my line up, very very sharp and good contrast!!... Just saying.. ;) Nice informative vids as always, keep it up!!

[@stephenthenachohunter405]

So you really gushed on your review of the 10-24 If you were going to get either the 16 OR the 10-24 how would that shake out?

[@stephenthenachohunter405]

street, travel and nature shooting - budget constrained to getting tons of lenes

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

thats the issue, one is the BEST lens, but the other is MORE USEFUL in general if ONLY one, then the 10-24 its a win win and lose lose if you only get one, but this is the "issue"

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

if that were MY position, then the 10-24 get it while its still on sale

[@joelingram3124]

aside from it's two biggest drawbacks (plastic body and slower speed) I wonder what you think of the XC 50-230 lens. I had the 55-200 and sold it... probably shouldn't have - but spent that money on other lenses (Samyang 12, Fuji 16, 18-135, 35/2, 56, 27 (thinking of selling - just don't use it)... and then, to save money but have length beyond 135 - the 50-230. I found it very good and the 30 extra mm was a nice addition to 50-200. At a whopping $160 on Amazon used I think it's Fuji's greatest "bargain" - but, you know TONS more about gear than I do... so, would you care to test/comment on it. I'ld love to know your thoughts.

[@Kaze919]

Thanks for the video. I really wanted the 56mm, glad you told me off getting the 90mm which was my other option.

[@gasmith841]

Awaiting your test of the new Fuji super-tele 100-400 :)

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Geoff Smith yeah, i already know that lens will be a loser based upon optical necessity of design, just a huge obnoxious penis compensation lens on a tiny FUji ill test it, but i already know how itll perform

[@zubatia]

+Theoria Apophasis I think I heard this one before, when you tried th 16 1.4 for the first time ;p

[@Weyoun359]

oh and I forgot. Thank you again for this video update!

[@user-fl4wn9dn2c]

Great video again thanks

[@truebro77]

I really enjoy listening to you. Very knowledgeable and thorough. About to purchase a 16mm 1.4 and a lot of that is to do with you. I'm a horrible photographer though haha!

[@mauriciochecchia8416]

How would the 10-24 behave for architectural work (distortion being the main issue)? Thx!

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+Maurício Costa correct distortion in post in lightroom, but the 10 24 fuji (partly due to being a DX lens) performs better on dist. than does the Nikkor wide zooms.

[@mauriciochecchia8416]

+Theoria Apophasis - Thank you for your feedback!

[@mauriciochecchia8416]

+Theoria Apophasis - I'm REALLY drewling about the X-PRO2.... this could easily become my single system

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

I USED THE XPRO2.......when the Fuji rep was in town...........im not a fan :( viewfinder too small too

[@mauriciochecchia8416]

where is the 55-140?

50 140 U mean……I've made 3 vids about it recently, its in a newer video

[@donfloyd868]

Why a 27 over a 23? isn't a 1 to 1 lens necessary! also why an equivalent 85 over an equivalent 70 for a 2 to 1?, Is there something am not seeing! Coming from someone hoo hasn't yet bought an interchangeable and looking at the X-T2 mainly for video please!...

I'm really having a tough time with my choice but I do thank you for your video's -Fuji should be spotting you some goodies for increasing their salesLOL - Thanks - and are really angry ?

[@billyhandelman589]

xf fugi27/f2.8 pancake versus xf fugi 23/f2 ...and why????

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

i have all the fuji lenses but the crappy 18mm……the 27mm is really sharp, but slow as piss and very very noisy…… 23mm f2 is the cats ass :)

[@kittyjewel]

why 23 not there? my favorite 56 indeed best of fuji

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+sachigatsu g 23 kinda blows :P

[@kittyjewel]

yeah we need version 2

[@KyleDean66]

+Theoria Apophysis Funny, but the 23mm was my favorite - only recently supplanted by the 35mm f2. I have all the lenses in this photo except the 16mm (I have the 14mm because the 16 wasn't out when I bought it). Of my lenses, I'd put the 35mm f2 at the top, followed by the 23mm, 56mm, 18-55mm, 14mm, and others. As you stated, my 50-140 would be fine for $700, but it is not $1,500 good. Also, I guess I'm the only person on the planet who really doesn't care for the 18-135mm. It's very generic and doesn't come near the level of the 18-55mm imo. Cheers.

all of that follows. wellllllll, i got the 18 135 last for a reason, i got it CHEAP, its good, not fantastic etc. true true, the 16mm is THE TITS Fujis best lens :)

Hi Kyle. IMHO, the Fujinon XF16-55 f/2.8 R WR Zoom is superior to the 1-55, IF your main concern is image quality and sharpness. (I have several Fujinon primes, and this 16-55 is very close to them in overall image quality!). The only "downsides" of the 16-55 is cost and weight, but I think the superb image quality is worth the tradeoff. YMMV. Good luck!

No 16-55 f2.8???

[@drs-Rigo-Reus]

Not with Ken, but it is goooood. Better than all primes in that range. Save yourself a lot of green and get one. The 56 is a considered a slow dude now.

#REQUEST# Top LIGHTEST lenses Nikon has to offer :D

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

+DontLikeJunk not made anymore, but the pancake 50mm nikkor :)

The 16mm has terrible comatic abberation unfortunately. Word of caution: don't buy for astrophotography. Get the Rokinon 12mm f/2 instead. Much better for astro.
