Stunning images. What I like about the 33mm over the 35mm is the internal focusing, just like the huge 50-140mm. You have a new subscriber. Well done.

[@ngonzale3]

Solid review and fantastic images!

[@leestanford2452]

I took a chance and just bought it. It's fantastic on my X-T3. I don't care about corner sharpness and all these charts and tech specs, but as a musician/artist/human with an eye I can say that this lens just has more soul in the photos. It's super sharp, but rolls off into a creamy blur in a very articulate manner. BTW you're one of the best dressed photographers on KZbin. God bless you, bro!

[@philporto]

couldnt agree more! hahah thank you! Blessings fam

[@ExecuteOrder.66]

Thanks for the insights! Not a lot of info on it when paired with a X-T3. How is the autofocus in your opinion?

[@ffdlife]

I love this review. I've bought the 33mm f1.4 2 months ago and I totally agree w/ u!

[@philporto]

thanks so much man. I hope you are loving it as much as I am

[@Snapit551]

Great video 👌 I totally agree everything about this lens you’ve said and the new f1.4 lenses are definitely an upgrade in every way

[@philporto]

couldnt agree more!

[@mazdaram226]

Thanks for a straight talking review, both the 18mm & 33mm f1.4 seem top notch , superb images … Thank you for your time and effort for sharing your opinions…

[@philporto]

thanks a ton!

[@LisaBekhit]

Great video Phil ! Thanks for all these insights !

[@philporto]

[@jaapkamstra9343]

Rain is a real thing! Yep it really is. (I'm currently in the middle of a storm...) great video! And the weatherceiling is really appreciated!

[@philporto]

Thanks so much. Yea Idk what Id do without it.

[@ptubale]

I just purchased this gem and it did not disappoint me. thank you for this video.

[@philporto]

You are so welcome. hope you enjoy it the way i do

[@RickyB349]

Can't wait to hold the 18mm 1.4 WR R lens... Have heard so many positive things and the sharpness is out of this world... Thanks for your review...

[@philporto]

you are so welcome!

[@JeffreyHauser]

Nice review, Phil. Praying good health wishes for you & your family.🙏😊

[@philporto]

thank you so so much Jeffrey!

[@mattstolzman]

Thanks for your review! Great lens

[@philporto]

thanks so much

[@jmosphotography163]

Great vid man. Fujifilm is definitely taking a step forward with these new lenses 18,23,33. Can’t wait to see what a high MP camera could do with these lenses as well. This vid just made me want the 33mm even more now lol.

[@philporto]

GET THE 33! and I agree. They are making moves. I want to see if the rumored XH2 comes out with 40mp, because these lenses would soar on it!

[@nelmopaes]

Nice pictures! 👍🏼

[@badhabit714]

Thank you for the inspiration.

[@philporto]

thank you for watching!

[@domwall3781]

My new combo for weddings, the 18 and the 33, I like them a lot

[@philporto]

heck yeah. such a great pair!

[@newkentdroneco546]

Thanks Phil! Awesome shots. I have been loving the 18mm so…. the 33 might need to be greentoed soon

[@philporto]

DO IT! You wont regret it!

[@ghostofgw7781]

Oh i love that lens ! It made me stay with Fuji . Lightning fast , superb IQ well built. Im in Montreal and this winter it went under some -25 celcius , freezing rain ,snow and it never failed. Nest week it's coming with me in Costa Rica rainforest .

[@philporto]

Yes its superb!

[@babyboy1971]

Phil, stumbled upon your content and so glad I did! I’m a portrait, headshot and family photographer and I shoot on the X100V & the XT3 and on my xt3 primarily use the 35 1.4 and 56 1.2. I’m considering upgrading to the XT4 and the 33. I think the 33 might be the priority for me. May I ask, do you find the XT4 a nice upgrade to the XT4? I’ve also considered the XPRO 3 but since I’m used to the XT3, I think the XT4 will be more Intuitive. Thanks for any advice and guidance!

[@sanuhwa]

Great pictures!! I just got my h2s and I don't know how to start my pictures colors. Your picture looks great to me, can you give me some tips about starting point? I want to make these kind of color to mine. What film simulation should I use?

[@stevew7779]

The 33mm 1.4 is my go-to lens, only comes off for the occasional spin of the Viltrox 85mm 1.8 - and for weddings I have them both on different bodies, but pull out the 23mm where needed. Nice video!

[@philporto]

yeah the 23 is a cool focal length but I tend to like the 18 more but would love to play with the new 23

[@stevew7779]

@@philporto yes. Mine's the 33 though, nifty fifty equivalent:)

[@mariiag.8683]

Amazing pictures!!

[@philporto]

thank you so so much!

[@DBOYNJ8]

Clear, precise, and straight forward review! Love your shots too. This definitely helped me if I'll buy another 35mm again or get the 33mm instead!

[@philporto]

thanks so much. Yeah, I really can't say enough about this lens!

[@spyhunter6411]

I have the 33 and plan to trade my 16 1.4 and 35 f2 for the 18 next. I love the 16 but what I've been shooting doesn't play well with distortion. Doing a lot of cars. I think the 18 and 33 would be a dope pair

[@philporto]

I agree. Those two are like batman and robin!

[@jjchockey]

Ya I shoot cars as well and the 18mm has much better distortion and bokeh. I pair it with the Mitakon 35mm .095 and 56mm 1.2.

[@jonuiuc]

Damn I'm getting tempted.

[@philporto]

JUST GIVE IN hahah

[@babyboy1971]

Nice! I love my 35 1.4, but the 33 is on my list for next lens. May I ask, I see a bag you are using with your hold fast money maker. What bag is that?

[@richardbriscoe8563]

You talk about the feel of the 18mm. Is it just that rather than the focal length compared to the 16mm?

[@JakeChambersOy]

Niiiiice!

[@philporto]

thanks so much!

[@perryvalton4245]

Peace be with you bro how you and family doing.

[@philporto]

Doing well man. Bouncing back daily. appreciate ya!

[@shy-guy5544]

I have this lens. Optically it is excellent but I think that this focal length is a bit of a compromise. It is a bit too narrow for landscapes and in cramped spaces and a bit too wide for portraits- I usually use it in sports finder mode in these situations.

[@philporto]

Interesting. thanks for sharing your thoughts. this is one thing I love about photography is that everyone has their own style. For me, I love it for portraits and really fits what I am trying to do with my brand. thankful there are so many good lenses out there though so that we all find our go to lenses!

[@stbnj]

What are you using as a longer lens for ceremonies? I have the 56 and the 90. But now with the 18 and 33 I’m thinking I’m going to find myself frustrated with the autofocus on the 56. I can see myself gravitating towards the 33 more and ditching my 56 so my bag is 18,33,90.

[@philporto]

I use the 90 during ceremonies.

[@aaronzheng5545]

Which focusing mode do you use for family portraits? I’m not a professional and I would to learn more.

[@philporto]

Honestly, thats all depends on how many people in the photo. I still shoot with one point focus mode, but I raise the aperture as more people enter the photo.

[@aaronzheng5545]

@@philporto thank you very much Phil! 🍻

[@acecreates]

Its certainly a beautiful lens. I still love my 35mm f2- its such a great prime. If I had the $ I'd certainly consider the 33mm! Great video mate

[@philporto]

Sell some stuff! haha But the 35 f2 was a great lens for me for a long time.

[@acecreates]

@@philporto haha I have a spare kidney...

[@dieg0lb]

This one or the sigma 30mm? :////

[@philporto]

Have not tried the sigma yet. but had sigma when i shot canon and hated how many times i had to recalibrate the lens. not sure that will be the case with the new ones, but i love sticking with fuji when i can.

[@andrewsharman4148]

You made me buy this phil my visa card is not happy with you haha

[@philporto]

hahahah I am so sorry andrew! how you enjoying it?
