The CHEAPEST Lenses For Fujifilm!

[@daeraso]

My man with a 6 year old camera and $70 lens taking much better photos than most "pro" photographers obsessed with the latest and greatest gear on KZbin. No matter how many Sony G lenses you got, if you don't know how to work the light and be creative, your gear will never matter. Kudos to you man, really enjoyed the video!

[@LeeZavitz]

I still love my gm lenses though. I have a problem I just like gear. But going out with this cheap manual focus lenses slows you down and you get to have a different shooting experience

[@alteki]

You´re right. Hear what Helmut Newton thinks about gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYjQdJ2oia6kb6c

[@hudhudtv4155]

Yeah..!! I agree 😀🤟

[@MVVM]

exactly

[@shinkunAvi]

Love Fujifilm videos more than sony, always with more soul

[@V4D2]

man.. This was easily one of your best KZbind photo-shoots lately.. The time, the place, the model.. and naturally…..the shots. The way you produced and edited the video was way above average too. Congrats . thanks for the upload cheers from Portugal

[@petergabriel8448]

The tonality and micro contrast of the 35mm f1.2 is stellar. Works great in black & white. Lenses like this with few elements always impress me.

[@albertsmith9315]

Really enjoyed this video! I'm a fuji guy and went through a cheap manual focus kick (Ttartisan 35mm and 17mm f/1.4s) last summer, but went back to my Fuji glass. This video just might make me pull those lenses out and play with them some more. Again, very enjoyable watch.

[@LeeZavitz]

Just something fun to play with. They won’t win awards for sharpness but they have an interesting look to them that work well with that Fuji x trans sensor

[@slater1949]

Even after all of these years you still have that, “oh my god, hey look at this..” reaction when you nailed a shot lol that’s awesome! Keep up the great content man!

[@arvidjohansson3120]

I love that you edited out the Wifi symbol from the sign. It made the whole image more cohesive.

[@LeeZavitz]

Ah you noticed haha. Yeah it needed to go

[@theronsan]

No matter what camera or lens you always take great shots 😎

[@MultiMack82]

ive been using the meike 35mm 1.7 as my primary lens for the better part of the last two years its slightly cheaper than the 7artesen 25mm at 69.00$ {us} for a cheepo its pretty good about the same image quality as these ones you showed today

[@jamdigital9530]

I've watched a few of your vids now and I really like the angles you capture. That's what makes your photos good so in essence you could be using any camera or lens and your work would be excellent

[@VictorAmaru]

solo un buen fotógrafo puede hacer buenas fotos con cualquier lente. Tu eres un gran fotógrafo!!!!

[@RawkustvOfficial]

Bought exactly the same lens in silver and bought a Fujifilm XE-2, the combo is straight up FIRE 🔥.

[@LeeZavitz]

Yeah the silver would look good, which one the 35mm?

[@RawkustvOfficial]

@@LeeZavitz I bought the 25mm, same as the one you had on the x-pro 2 which looks wicked on the xe2. Next on the list is the 17mm 1.4. Would be great if you did a video on that too 😋

[@ajanitruth]

Really stellar work! I can tell you love shadows. I love them too. Makes me want to jump back into fashion.

[@LeeZavitz]

Love the shadows

[@jb-el6xs]

Oooh! The rich colors in these shots 💥💥

[@da009999]

The 7artisans 25mm f1.8 has a close focusing distance of 0.18m. That should provide lots of fun at parties, weddings, and restaurants.

[@Thehungrywolf999]

This was pure art. Really well done

[@JavierVillalobos]

Saw your video a while back and it made me purchase the 1.8 25mm- recently saw “Asking 13 KZbinrs what camera they use for fun” and you mentioned the x100 OG. Your explanation and description of what it’s like shooting it are to the T. I have an XE-1, and I just shoot it like a film camera. Cheers, dude! Follow and notifications on!

[@AmarDas-yd1fv]

Do we have to calibrate the 7artisans lenses for Fuji x mount?

[@wojciech2456]

Do we?

[@Swingkid14]

7artisans 35mm1.2 mark2 is by far the best lens produced. Beats some of my Leica lenses

[@ftk-alt]

i tried the 25mm f1.8 awhile. didnt like it, sold and trade it for ttartisans 23mm f1.4 the 7art 25mm 1.8 has more serious vignette compare to the ttartisans at wide open. and that extra stop changes everything. but 1 thing for sure the 7art weights lesser and slightly smaller. good companion if you want to shoot street and potraits at low cost

[@andrethibault1410]

Love watching you shoot, another great vid!

[@SteveShootsFilm]

My man’s got me looking up $100 lenses with my GFX on my desk lookin at me crazy

[@amaan00007]

What's the difference between 25 and 35mm?

[@ktpbd2197]

1:58 The way you said ‘i got cameras everywhere’😂😂😂

[@danieljung2810]

Wow those shots were amazing!

[@silviocaravelli3567]

I have the 25mm and my best work comes from this lens. The XC35mm does great job, but these Chinese lenses have a character. Using now Helios vintage 44-6 and it is amazing. Thanks

[@nmsgoncalves]

I can never get enough of my Minolta MD 50F1.7 Especially when I shoot BW. GReat photoshoot as usual.

[@quandomenguyen1129]

Unbelievable. Really surprised by the photos you took with these two lenses. Because most of the time when I look at the reviews the photos of these two products are "very bad".. your technique is so great. I don't know if it is suitable for taking pictures of children under 6 years old if the lens is manual focus? You handled the angles on the stairs with slanted lines very well. I'm often confused by scenes like that!

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

Great work with the pretty model, lovely images, great timing ... very enjoyable

[@byyy_]

thats a awesome, please tell us what your film simulation used on this camera?

[@Lonnie.G]

I wonder if the prices are going to go up lol. I have a cheap x-Pro 1 on the way so I already had the 35 in my cart but haven't ordered yet. Might need to go ahead and add the 25 too. At that price why not? Nicely done Lee

[@Lockhardt_Media]

Lol I literally just picked up the x-pro 2 and this 25mm

[@neehalkhan2926]

This video and your photography skills with such an old camera and cheap lens is amazing. 👌

[@dennishumbla5431]

Thats cool, looks like Voigtländer Classic 35mm 1.4 with the flairs/red rings.

[@enshongmiranda]

You can actually get cheaper with a CCTV 25mm 1.8 lens which I think is just the same with these 7Artisans, just rehoused.

[@raymeedc]

I collect & use daily vintage lenses. Same dirt cheep prices as these (actually cheaper in most cases) Unlike these, a joy to use ( my collection consists mailnly of m42 mount Takumars, the best made, smoothest focusing glass on the planet) on every level & plentiful in excellent condition. These, in comparison, feel like toys, puts a damper on the joy of shooting in my book with no counterbalancing advantage EyE can see.

[@davidmcc6666]

Lee, mate. I've said it before and I'll say it again, mate. You could take amazing images with a brick. Well done, mate.

[@nathandoras]

this man is so talented

[@LeeZavitz]

Lighting is everything. Look for interesting lighting and shoot on the shadow side. You will always get some cool shots that way

[@nathandoras]

@@LeeZavitz I've been working on this! Thanks for the advice, you're a legend for replying!

[@jaapkamstra9343]

Ah wow! That looks pretty sick actually. Really like the flare of the 25mm. I'm gonna try it out!

[@impatrickt]

making me want to dust off my 55mm f1.4 7artisans.

[@LeeZavitz]

Do it. They have a vibe

[@Nestorico-m8i]

Dear hello, your videos are so instructive!!!! I would like an advise: I am behind two lenses, but I have multiple doubts to choose the right ones between these next options: the 35mm f/1.2, the 50mm f/35mm or f/0.95 (both from 7Artisans), the 75mm f/1.2 and 85mm f/1.8 (both from Viltrox). I want to pick two which don't repeat features. I'll use them for modeling and occasionally street photo. My camera is a fuji X-H1..... could you help me? thanx

[@derrenleepoole]

Proof positive it’s the photographer. Great work mate.

[@rdog77]

Wow! Lee was able to get some really good pictures. Lee is a great photographer though. I'm also playing around with manual focus lenses and ordered the same 25 millimeter F 1.8 which is arriving today. I hope to get some of the same results. For the 35mm I went with it 7Artisan F 1.2 mkii. Definitely love the quality on that one. BTW I've owned the TTArtisan 50mm 1.2 for some time now and love it also. I'm using these with focus tabs which help tremendously on the X-Pro3. It makes it so much more enjoyable to take photos. 📸🔥 I highly recommend getting focusing tabs. Some come with tabs that glue on but I've also bought some third party tabs for the lenses that don't include in the box.

[@JJCYouKnowMe]

Hi! Which focus tabs do you use?

[@QippysChannel]

Love these two lenses...I still keep them just for character shots, especially the 35, super love!

[@matpaiz4599]

Sir ..should take for photo 35mm f1/2 or 35mm mark ii? Im use fujixt20

[@flaviopresutti]

Great pictures!!! Loved those lenses!

[@victormultanen1981]

I think the photos are amasing not because of cheap lens, but becaus of person behind the camera.

[@Extraedit]

7 artisans f1.8 25mm is my only lens that's what I got to get started.. I love it but will upgrade hopefully 🤗 I hate purple flare while out doors

[@jhonnyviquez4206]

Loved the video! I only have one question. Can you use the optical viewfinder with the lens or is it restricted to the EVF and LCD?

[@pitiwong1]

I actually own this exact lens with my X-E2. I like the "film" like feeling produced by this film. However, it is my skill that still a light year away from you. could you please share how to setting up cam for this lens? (assume X-E2 is not too much different from X-PRO2 in term of setting.) I like street photo, and manual peeking from the viewfinder is kind of not so reliable or quick enough. thanks a lot in advance.

[@bloomylicious]

Great video, for cheap lenses I'd also recommend trying some adapted vintage lenses, they're great fun.

[@LeeZavitz]

I have some great vintage lenses but they aren’t cheap. Some of the vintage lenses I have are more expensive than brand new Fuji primes lol. Contax Zeiss holds their value

[@bloomylicious]

@@LeeZavitz I'm pretty poor so the only ones I've bought up to yet are in the £20-£30 region, got a Helios 44m-4 58mm f2 and Olympus Zuiko MC 50mm f1.8. I can heartily recommend them if you ever fancy cheap and cheerful vintage stuff, maybe could even do a shootout between some of these new cheap lenses in this video between the cheaper vintage lenses.

[@manusevillaphoto9349]

I know this is a year old video but by any chance have you gotten around the 7artisans 35mm f1.4? Great video by the way.

[@LeeZavitz]

I have not tired it sorry

[@bricelettkeman1408]

Really enjoyed the video!

[@LeeZavitz]

Thanks for watching

[@nepalinvideo]

Greatest test ever 😮

[@henryrichie3388]

amazing video, how about XT4 with this lenses? Thank you

[@AyushRaghuwanshi28]

hey which one should i get 35mm f1.4 or 50mm f1.8 for Portraits, Fashion kind of pics?

[@LeeZavitz]

Either is great. If you shoot wider stuff I would go with 35mm if you are more into headshots or want more background compression go 50mm

[@AyushRaghuwanshi28]

@@LeeZavitz I am super confused 35mm got f1.4 and 50mm got f1.8 bokeh is also a thing btw does this lens have any yellow tint i hear it in may reviews?

[@someguy6345]

what low ptice lenses would you recommend for "client work"? also what is the cheapest way to stabilize your video? i picked up my first fuji recently, but haven''t got a lense and setup yet

[@chriskreisel]

I just got the 23mm f/1.4 from ttartisan - also very cool

[@joeywood4226]

These will work with the xt5 right

[@LeeZavitz]

Yep. All Fuji cameras with x mount

[@mduoba]

No doubt, the dude took great photos.

[@paul-corneliuvaida9026]

Which Fifi cam did he used in the video?

[@LeeZavitz]

What is a Fifi cam?

[@Nenad9785]

If you didn't make the video i would never belive that you use that lens.

[@miam1074]

I c have the 25mm, I bought it for street photograpy. It is a pretty shitty lens, impossible to focus with it actually, and not because it is manual lens only. I suspect that it must be my copy only because your images are awesome and sharp.

[@angeloop]

How do you make the streets free of people? Where I live there are people everywhere

[@LeeZavitz]

Find locations and times of day where it’s not busy.
