Looking at Fujifilm 23mm 35mm photos.

[@bubbajones5905]

Showing photos on a photograph channel ! What a concept !

[@fe_ze_ko]

like breath of fresh air!

[@MarkSpurrell]

Hey Omar! I don't often comment on videos - I'm a bit of a serial lurker. But I just wanted to stop by to say that I love your energy. Despite this being a fairly basic comparison between two lenses, I was entertained throughout. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@ogonzilla]

I appreciate that!

[@carbonejack]

Love that you're showing images. I can read specs. What I like to see are the images it takes and the choices you make about scenes.

[@mrnic_4000]

Love the vids, Omar. Always great inspiration and entertainment.

[@jamesbarron5590]

The 35mm f/2 was my first Fuji lens because it was the one in stock. I enjoyed it but it felt a bit tight. I ended up getting the 23mm f/2 and it felt right. That is part of the reason why I enjoy the x100vI so much. I recently bought the 27mm f/2.8 pancake and enjoying that on my x-pro3. But my favorite x-mount lenses are the Viltrox 75mm and 27mm f/1.2 lenses. Bulkiness is the only con. Thank you for the video Omar and for sharing your family’s memories with us.

[@deram2470]

thx for your honest videos, Omar! If I shoot in streets I choose one thing to show in blury environment, that's why my favourite is the XF33/1.4 ... Please go on, I do like your work and in the way you show and talk about your family, I see how much you love them all 😊 greetings from 🇩🇪

[@markm83]

Very entertaining video Omar... Loved the examples and your frank comments on each one. This helps me to evaluate where I'm at in my own personal photography journey!

[@ogonzilla]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AMactor]

Creamy and dreamy is exactly what I felt about my 35 F2! To me it felt absolutely supreme on the X-T4 I had

[@Xenialims]

Exactly i just wanna see pics and understand what is works for my photography style. thank you!!!!

[@L5Nlcommunicatie-design]

I'm still very happy with the 35mm f2.0 lens on my Fujifilm X-T4. But in combination with the 16mm f2.8 it works fantastically. These lenses complement each other perfectly and make handheld photography a party.

[@sreyesguitar]

The pigeon, bikes, woman shot is awesome! Also loved the pigeons in flight over the arch. Great shots!

[@longstoryshortless]

The pigeon foto is fire 😂 like people have places to go and pigeons are as well))

[@juliette-mansour]

Hi Omar, I love your shot of the man walking past the Blondie mural! Also love the self portrait on your bike :). Enjoyed the photos overall. I have never owned the 23mm. I have always preferred 28mm for all my street shots except the less frequent portrait. I sold all my Fuji gear apart from the X-E2 which I find magical. I kept my 35mm and 27mm only. I think the 35 is superior! I've been through a plethora of Fujifilm bodies but wish I had kept my X-T20. When I first got it I started watching your channel! That was back in 2018. How time flies...

[@firdousamir_]

To the point. Thanks Omar. Helps a lot.

[@turkturkleton4278]

Fun video, Omar! I always learn something from your videos, and I appreciate you including photos that you consider not-so-great and talking about why you don't like them.

[@kbjazzfan]

Love that pigeon strutting through that composition :D

[@benejpocock]

Great to see the comparison between the two, and also to show us mere mortals that not every photo is great. I find myself preferring a 50mm equivalent focal length as find it easier/more natural to cut some things out rather than try and get everything in. But that’s just me. On a recent trip go Stockholm though I only took a standard f2.8 zoom. I set it to 50mm as default, but it was nice being able to back up or close in a bit if needed.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

I love the Fujicrons + the 27mm. Thanks for sharing.

[@jmtphotographymedia]

Me too!

[@tonyharrison1]

I loved my Fuji 23mm f2 and 35mm f2 lenses but have since sold them for the Voigtlander 23mm f1.2 and 35mm f1.2. Fully manual, dreamy glow at f1.2 to f2 close up again but from f2.8 sharp and contrasty. It’s a hackneyed phrase but they are very filmic too. They just feel right on my Fuji XT5.

[@rcjp]

So few youtubers show the pictures they've taken they _don't_ like; I think this is so valuable as it helps with developing as a photographer. Seems like too many people keep hold of too many pictures. I keep thinking about going back to fuji as an ex pro1 shooter, but just not enthused by their later cameras.

[@Sjorezz]

Hi Omar! Nice to see are you rocking the original 35mm 1.4 @ 22:29 I thought you didn’t like the quirks like the sounds and slow focus etc. I still love it btw. And nice video.. So true about all the reviewers just showing the lens without showing images.

[@FilmRunnerMedia]

One time I went out doing street photography using a full frame and an 85mm. True story. But honestly the APS-C and 23mm is my weapon of choice. I like listening to you talk cuz you basically sound like the voice in my head every time I'm getting ready to leave the house... trying to figure out which lens to carry.

[@MrElthan]

Thanks for video! 23f2 is my all time favorite lens. My first love in Fujifilm 😀 I didn't glue with 35f2. Replaced it with 30mm f2.8 macro. Super sharp and character full lens 👌

[@garends225]

This is exactly the question I’ve been thinking about. Thanks!

[@simonrockstream]

The 27 is a must have imo, makes the camera so small and cool lookin, great focal lenght too, very special

[@labibhaddad]

Love the vids, keep’em coming, Thanks

[@JenniferKlinger]

Really enjoyed this video. Feels so casual, like talking to a friend. Helping us to decide. Now I am convinced to grab a X-T and my 33 1.4. Come and get some air little lens!

Thanks Omar. I've already got the 23/2 and I'm now convinced (thanks to you) that the 35/2 is next (when my shop in Australia has another sale) Cheers and thanks. Sean.

[@billlavia223]

When I’m out wandering like that in “tourist” or street shooting mode, I just carry the X-T2 with the 35mm f/1.4 and the X70 (18mm f/2.8); then i just use whichever better captures my intent for the scene in front of me. That X70 barely weighs more than another lens and slips into side pocket on a small bag. Too bad it was never upgraded with a better battery but it still produces great photos and is super easy to carry. I prefer the 35 on APS-C and so, like you, most of my shots are at that focal length but it’s nice to have the other option.

[@paulkuritzky3900]

Omar the same thing happened to my XT-20 with the thumb rest coming off after 6 yrs. Pliobond adhesive worked great and it is firmly reattached

[@JackieDElia]

Love the colors. I also prefer the 35mm for walking around.

[@mrnic_4000]

Oh could you do a settings video on the GR. Just like you have for the Fuji cams? I just went from Fuji to GR and am still settling in. Would be great to see your setup.

[@ogonzilla]

Coming!

[@victorli4316]

I have 16, 23 and 35. I found that I use 23mm f2 most of the time and it is so compact! I do like the character of the old 35mm f1.4 though.

[@pedromfs]

Great video Omar :) I always had the same question on which lens to bring 23 or 35 and then, at some point, regretting not bringing the other one. All of this got resolved with the 27. 27 has been working great for me

[@sworrall6104]

Love your work Omar. Thank you 🇦🇺

[@bestebahn]

I bring the 23 f2 and the 35 f1.4 when I travel because I love both so much. I use then pretty evenly and they typically account for 80+% of the photos I take.

[@kstrohmeier]

Cage lens match - gotta love it.

[@hoatd1993]

I think showing real-life and test chart photos in lens reviews is equally important. When discussing different lenses, we need something measurable and comparable, but at the end of the day, what you can do with those lenses is more important.

[@Photographysoup]

Hi Omar, love the videos & you! Just wondering are you gonna review the Fuji 16-50mm 2.8-4.8? Kinda curious to see how it stacks up against the older kit lens and the sigma 18-50.

[@1BigBucks1]

The f2s are fun and compact, the best part of the Fuji experience for me

[@MichaelGalli88]

I liked this kind of comparison, especially with so many examples. I shoot a lot with my X-T3 and the xf 35mm f2, but when I want to "slow down" I put on the TTArtisan 25mm f2 manual focus. A little wider, of course, but the manual focus puts me in patience mode, almost contemplative, when shooting with it.

[@stevel2335]

35 slightly too tight, 23 slightly too wide. 27- perfect!

[@2sambell]

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Omar which presets do you use in your Fujifilm? Are you using any receipts or something?

[@Jidccruz]

I ditched both and went with the 27mm f2.8 - worth it!

[@JohnKrill]

For me it’s the Sigma 30mm. I love the angle of view of the 30mm.

[@lionheart4424]

I'm like you, my first Fuji prime was the 35mm F2 and I love it. Some months ago I got a good deal on an X100S and took me a while to get used to the 23mm F2, struggled a bit but I'm getting the gist of it. I'll be happy the day when Fuji releases a 24-50mm F2 zoom lens lol.

[@brandonprescott5753]

Owning both Fujicrons 23 & 35mm F2’s I find myself preferring the 35 as I like the images it produces more. Also I find it more fun and relaxing to use yet I don’t know why.

[@MaiElizabeth]

It hits me. When I was looking for sample photos shot on ttartisan lenses, there were few on the net. Photo samples from smartphone cameras were more than that.

[@frankgoldman3313]

Amazing. The thumb thing fell off my X-T20 last month!

[@Paulo_das_Neves]

Nice video! Since I've got the xf 18mm f1.4, all the other lenses are living inside the cupboard.

[@yuppietrashlife4344]

Nice photos, nice video!

[@robreyez]

I've used the 35mm f2 for full weddings. Great indeed.

[@Honkus]

I find it hard to decide which of these two I prefer, love them both...probably the 35mm is my more preferred....but often I find I pick the 50mm f2 as I have that guy too. I do like to pick out details on walks. :D. A great trilogy of lenses. These are my most favorite XF Fujifilm lenses.

[@63nuke]

Still rocking with the 35mm f1.4. Never cared for the 23mm f2 as I didn't like the softness in close up shots. Kind of a one lens guys now, the 1.4 is always bolted to the X-E3. The 18-55 is in the bag for travel though

[@vickychristopoulos8614]

I'm happy with the 16mm, 1.4 and the 18-55mm

[@optom888]

Great practical comparison. However, still love my 18-55 that lets me sit on the fence between 23 and 35. BTW, my thumb rest also fell off a few weeks ago on my XT20. A bit of superglue fixed it.

[@jamesmynes1953]

Yes you should use capture one Omar.

[@jamesmynes1953]

You can zoom no end in capture one...

[@TheSgyro]

I expected to like the 35mm more coz I like the compression we get from telephoto lenses, but I liked the 23mm examples better in this video! Especially those layered ones with foreground elements framing up the subject.

[@JP-cw9ke]

Hi Omar, Noraly started a new Turkey trip on a restored Yamaha Tenere. I'm sure you know that already. Also the new RE Himi has got more horsepower and highway legs, but with PO, you probably aren't looking for a new motorcycle.

[@dpfreedman]

Isn't anyone going to comment on what a great family Omar has?

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Do you think for a lot of situations, f/2.8 is wide enough? Im looking to possibly get a couple 2.8 zooms, 10-18mm and 18-50mm from Sigma, along with a 56mm prime... at least thats my short list for now... someday after I get that far u will think about the 50-150 maybe...

[@EJKelly]

Good man, exactly the problem with lens reviews.

[@Iamtongue]

I feel you Omar. If you don't show me images on your lens review, I'm out.

[@pacheaco727]

I wish Fuji would release an XC version of the 23. The XC35 has held up well for me over the years and gives you the same optics with a trade off in WR.

[@philipcooper8297]

I tried both, ended up keeping xf 30mm f/2.8 instead. Sure it's slower, but 30mm is just somewhat different in a good way + the focus starts are roughly 1cm from the front element, so get as close as you want. It does alright macro as well, but only on static objects as you really have to get close to get any respectable results.

[@jocko_]

I learned photography using a Canon A1 with a 50mm lens and rolls and rolls of Kodachrome. I love the fov of a 35mm lens on my Fujifilm X-T10.

If you get a zoom which one would you prefer, the 18-55, 16-50 or the 16-80 ?

[@malfunkt]

Missing my XF 35mm F2 so much, as I let it go along with a mint X-T2 to a friend. It's a desert island lens in my opinion. Love it's build, focus speed, and quality of image - and prefer it even over the XF 35mm F.14 overall. Fortunately, I have a manual Brightin Star 35mm F0.95 on its way though - can't wait as its some rare (new?) silver test model which will look ace on my silver/brown X-E3.

[@KitziXD]

35mm starts at around 15:00 if anyone wants to skip ahead

[@gileswhitehead7437]

Nice CB360 very rare here in the UK. With regards to the 23mm vs 35mm...... for me ; depends upon which mood I'm in. However my old 35mm f1.4 has that little extra..... you know what I'm talking about. I wish it was WR. But you can't have it all.

[@macccu]

35mm 1.4 street gang here! Or maybe I'm just not good enough to work 23mm scene 😅 However I would love 27mm F2 Fujicron :(

[@aristotleneilocampo825]

I’m just starting out. Would the XF 18-55 kit lens be able to achieve both sets of photos?

[@patrick6294]

It's more the skills, that make a good photo, not the lens. Although I love the 35f2 and hate using zooms, the 18-55 is a really good lens and perfect for starting out. Some tips: Set it to a specific focal length to shoot it like prime (e.g. 18, 23, 35, 50) to get a feeling for the characteristics of the different focal lengths. If you want background separation shoot it at 55 and/or get close.

[@wilfs1196]

I have the 35 f2, hardly use it, don't know why. I have a 23 f1.4 LM R WR , really sharp, occasional use . Bought a Fuji 27 f2.8 R WR pancake, hardly ever off of my XS20. Love it. As KZbinr Roman Fox says, use the 23 for the scene , use the 35 for the detail. (XS20 & XT4)

​@@ZZ.91 But those are so big... I actually have the XPro3, both those 35mm lenses, and the X100f. The X100 is on another level. It's not even close. Hopefully they are done releasing flagship hybrids and will can focus on diversifying the X100 lineup starting with a 35mm model.

[@ZZ.91]

@@samhuntress agree, in this case you can grab the 27mm. But the 35mm f2 is pretty small. A pancake version of this one could be great

Ive been a professional photographer for over 30 years and I've never owned a 35mm lens😳 I am a 28 & 50mm guy. BUT, I finally received my X100vi and the focal length is staring to grow on me😀 I think I'm still going to get the 50m conversion lens though😂

[@thenarberry]

35mm is the 50mm equivalent for crop sensor

[@adycoke2]

Omar you should try Voigtlanders:18,27,35,50

[@frombrandon]

I LOVE the 35 f/2. It's my favorite lens. But unfortunately day-to-day life in tight spaces doesn't make it so convenient and I often default to the 23 f/2.

[@StewartBairdPhoto]

I sometimes wished the x100 was a 40mm equivalent. I feel sometimes it’s too wide on the street.

[@BW_Maher]

Nice Bike!!

[@HR-wd6cw]

IDK I've always like the 23-24mm focal range on APSC, particularly if I'm doing street shooting. If I"m doing portraits, then the 35 works great because you get that 52mm equivalent field of view which I prefer for portraits. So for me, it would depend on what I'm doing, and ideally I'd own both (or at least some version of a 23-24mm and some version of a 35mm... maybe the cheaper 35mm f/2 XC lens which is still very good but very cheap like $200, just so I'm not going broke buying Fuji gear).

[@bingbong4848]

If you're new to apsc, it's worth noting that the 23mm and 35mm give you a field of view similar to 35mm and 50mm on a full frame camera. For those who already knew that, please don't shout at me😅

[@garethnoble11]
