FUJIFILM 18mm f/1.4 - TONS of Sample Images

[@justin13leechannel]

The way you create frames for your subjects in some of these photos with light, color, or structures is masterful 👌

[@hunterhart1]

Thank you so much of the first comment and your warm compliment. I really appreciate it!

[@JeevesTCW]

Another fabulous bunch of photo's. As usual I will keep coming back and replaying as there is so much here to enjoy, appreciate and be inspired by Hunter, great work.

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks so much for keeping up with all of it, I appreciate it as always! You keep watching and I’ll keep making

[@mariiag.8683]

There’s something magical about this focal length and of course about your photos!!

[@hunterhart1]

Such a great lens, hardly comes of this camera. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Bjuiful]

Because I'm picking up the 18mm 1.4 and the X-t5 tomorrow, I wanted to enjoy the anticipation with a few KZbin videos. Dude, those are incredibly good photos. Very inspiring. You really have an eye. And although I know that the photographer "takes" the pictures and not the tech, this is the best advertisement for the lens. Subscribed.

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks man! I love this lens, it’s still my favorite Fuji lens. Hope you have a good time with yours.

[@ozuidema]

Damn, Hunter, you can really shoot! Love these shots and your editing. 18mm is my favourite focal length and I’m again reminded here why that is.

[@hunterhart1]

Really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to say some kind words man. The 18mm is a killer, still my favorite as well. Rocking it on the XH2 as I type this.

[@AlexCruzHaha]

These sample collection videos are 100X better than any technical/spec review on the internet. You nice inspiration and motivation, thank you so much 🙏🏽 copping this lens tonight!

[@hunterhart1]

Ahhh thanks so much that means a lot to me! You should check out my latest video for some more inspiration. We are over on South Africa and I’m shopping with the X-Pro3. Will do another video of the 18mm soon!

[@AlexCruzHaha]

@@hunterhart1 going to the check it out right now! And I really want to get better and competition with wide lenses. How do you feel about the 18mm f2?

[@hunterhart1]

Dude, great work! Didn't expect to see so much of Nashville and Jeremy Cowart's studio, that was awesome.

[@hunterhart1]

[@enshongmiranda]

I love your photos. And so many varieties and situations to boot. Definitely gave this lens justice! I like the 18mm f2's compactness though.

[@hunterhart1]

Hey man, thanks so much. I love the lens, I wish it was as small as the f/2 though. I use the X100V all the time which is nice but find myself using the WCL on it lol, so back up in size again. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

[@villagranvicent]

Awesome selection... Congrats on the amazing work!!

[@deini-yelpineda7445]

Hey Hunter these pictures really motivate me to buy this lens! As Im planning to this year for my birthday! 😅 Quick question did you set your focus to zone focus and AF-C? As I tried this set up and I got blurry photos that time. Hope you notice this thanks!

[@hunterhart1]

Hey! I mostly use Single Dot AF and single shot focus instead of continuous. That is just how I have always shot.

[@jamess4522]

Now that's great lens and sensor combo. Lovely rendering. You'll continue to smash it with that I'm sure :)

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks Man I hope so

Spectacular images.

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks brother

[@StapediusReflex]

Great work all around! This lens is definitely a ton of fun and the image quality is top notch. I was just saying how it helped stifle my want for a Q2.

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks I’m glad it helped you save upwards of $3000 😅 it’s been fun to have this lens with the XT4. I wish I could trade the XT4 for an X-Pro3 so badly though

[@StapediusReflex]

@@hunterhart1 I have thought about doing exactly that. I love the X-T4, but the range finder style is just nice to use. I do appreciate the bigger battery and IBIS in the X-T4 though (especially considering it costs less). I had an X100V previously and I’m very bummed I sold it…

[@hunterhart1]

@@StapediusReflex ahh man you’d have to pry the X100V out of my dead hands. I love the rangefinder because it allows me to use two eyes easier and so my nose isn’t pressed up against the screen.

[@danni0510]

I really like your style. I was more a 23mm guy but will try the 18 and hope I will also get some great shots.i love that you share your images. I do think the focal length is great for the family pictures I do. Photography is about pictures right 👍;)

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks so much for watching. I was a 23mm user for years but that 18 is my favorite

[@professionalpotato4764]

Lots of cool artistic angles! Love it! I have the 18mm f/1.4 too and it's a real beast. Hope to be as good as you some day :)

[@hunterhart1]

It is a beast for sure. Thanks for watching and I’m sure you’re great. Would love to see some of your work

[@Palbvial]

Really beautiful photos.

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks so much

[@johnloydall]

Really great stuff. I was looking at either the Leica Q or the X-T4 with the 18 1.4. Are you glad you switched from the Leica? I bought the X-T4 today and have been looking at a few wide(ish) Fuji lenses but I think your vid has swung it for me to go for the 18 1.4.

[@hunterhart1]

I had the Q for years. I prefer the Fuji for the technology, ergonomics and the better low light performance. The Q has outstanding image quality but if you want something reliable, Fuji for sure. I had the Q quit on me a few times and it would erase some images off the card (not good for a wedding photographer). I would have to say the full frame 28mm 1.7 is amazing though. I wish they’d just put two card slots on the 3rd Leica Q. So yeah I do like the Fuji system, actually using the GFX as well so it’s nice to be in the echo system.

[@bonedyone]

Do you start with a specific film simulation first and then edit to your liking? i love your style.

[@hunterhart1]

I shoot in RAW with a film sim on just to see how it’ll kinda look when I edit in LR

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks for watching!

[@albertsmith9315]

Wow, what a diverse and comprehensive group of photos! You certainly showed the capability of the optics of this lens, but of course it was being wielded by a talented photographer. So, if I might ask, do you feel that you gave up anything (other that some compactness) by going to Fujifilm from Leica? I'm still using the 18mm f/2 and I'm sure that it could not replicate many of your images here. Have to fight the urge to pull out the plastic.

[@hunterhart1]

Thank you for your comment and your compliment. I do not feel like I have lost anything from switching from Leica. I love AF for the type of work that I do. Also a flip screen is great in my opinion, that is how I achieved the overhead shot on the thumbnail of this video (would never be able to do that with a leica without a ladder). I cannot speak on the 18mm f2 though. I hear good things about it still but I also hear bad things (with every lens I guess). It cannot be much different though other than AF speed and the aperture. I use the WCL on the X100V a lot and it comes out with amazing images and it only opens up to f/2. I think this lens is definitely worth buying if you don't already own an 18mm f/2. I suggest renting one OR selling the older model and just buying this one! Thanks for watching and make sure to follow over on instagram!

[@sozable]

Hello ! J'ai une petite question, tu ne shoot jamais au flash et diffuseur pour la soirée ? Je veux dire il y'a parfois des moments où c'est juste pas possible et monter à 12 800 ISO c'est intenable également. Tu as peut-être ça en secours dans ta sacoche ?

[@hunterhart1]

Il est toujours bon d'avoir un flash ou un diffuseur de lumière sous la main en tant que solution de secours, surtout dans les situations de faible luminosité. Utiliser un flash peut aider à ajouter de la lumière à une scène et améliorer l'exposition globale d'une image. Alternativement, utiliser un temps de pose plus lent et permettre à plus de lumière de pénétrer dans l'appareil photo peut également contribuer à améliorer l'exposition, mais cela peut introduire un flou de mouvement si le sujet ou l'appareil photo bouge. Il est important de prendre en compte les besoins spécifiques de la scène et de choisir la technique appropriée pour obtenir le résultat souhaité

[@sozable]

@@hunterhart1 Merci d'avoir répondu je viens de réaliser que mon commentaire était pour la vidéo précédente mais youtube à choisi de passer à la tienne pendant que je rédigeait mon commentaire 😭 Sorry. But still my question makes sense as the previous vidéo was about a wedding with the 18mm. 😊 There is a lot of great shot ! I have the 33mm and the Viltrox 13mm. Was searching for something in between and hesitate a lot between 18 and 23.. but I think in the cities the 23mm will be too tight for Some building, anyway have the 33mm for tighter shots

[@hunterhart1]

@@sozable no worries. There is a pretty big difference between the 18mm and 23mm have you had a chance to try them out at all?

Hi Hart Is it worth to go X-T4 From X-T20 Or I should go to fullframe (Vlog-Travel-Landscape Use) By the way your picture are awesome. SUBSCRIBE !

[@hunterhart1]

Heyyy thanks for reaching out and watching the video. If you’re just doing video I’d go with the X-S10 because it’s cheaper and smaller! But if you are needing something larger, better battery and more geared towards photography the XT4 would be great. As far as full frame, you could go Sony A7C with a wide angle lens like the 24mm 1.4 but that’s going to cost you more than the other two options. Im assuming you’ve got Fuji lenses already and I like people to save money at all cost soooo my suggestion is to get the xs10 for video (it’s great for photography too but the dials and size are a lot different.

[@escapetolife]

@@hunterhart1 Thx for yours good advise. Now I have 18-55 , 23F2 , Rokinon 12 F2, 50-230 My first choice is X-T4 or A7C but when you recomend X-S10 , I have to add it on my list ! Big THX !

@@escapetolife no problem! The A7C is awesome and I AM a fan of full frame as well I just prefer Fuji due to user experience and nice files.
