As it turns out, travelling with a camera in my hands is the most useful thing I have done to keep my mind and body healthy and clear. But if I can't do it, I then head to RU-vid looking for similar content… and I thought, why not creating my own? And so, here we are.
Here in Austria you should be able to find an XT20 for 350-400 euros, maybe even with some lens :) it’s a decent camera, not the one you would bring to a professional shoot, but a lovely little piece to enjoy photography with
Wonderful shots, try to include push and pull horizontal motion of your camera with your arms with shutter lag, also great results. Also try to keep the shutter open longer and paint with your lens, works well in snow white washed backgrounds with someone or people walking dressed in black with an accent color jacket. It is an art but once you master movement with pulling and pushing techniques as well as painting and halting the frame at the end or the beginning of the shots after the initial or end painting movements creates more painted portraits. Again enjoying your videos, keep shooting!
I always liked Sigma 17-50 on Nikon, but then changed to Fuji and since the first day I hated this, for unknown reasons to me, religiously adored XF 18-55. This one is nice, but still a lot of distortion corrected digitally, vignette is cool, also no stabilization which is a problem with my X-T3. Also being snob and wanting the aperture ring while knowing that it would be perfectly fine without it.
If you have a fixed aperture of f2.8, and you film slog3 so you're stuck on your native ISO, then you have a fixed shutter speed, how in the world do you control the amount of light hitting the lens? Does the job end up falling on a variable ND Filter?
Yes, we Fuji folks are a community. Last summer when I was in Amsterdam, a man asked me about my Xpro2. He had one as well. Turns out we live in the same small town in New Jersey. By the way, my connection to my Xpro2 is as strong as yours to the XT3.
@@carlosdomi Thanks for saying it. People are more alike behind our barriers than we realize. Especially as an artist I've heard artists whose work I admire are, or at some point have have the same thoughts, or been through the same struggles. It helps knowing we're not alone.
This was beautiful moviemaking - thank you for your inspiring video - I went and purchased an XH2S and a SIGMA 18-50mm lens - I will be using it in part to film some action scenes in my movies.
Your video footage is unreal. I'm actually astonished. Did you shoot f-log? Also great review, the lens is indeed very impressive for the price and size.
I can’t notice any rolling shutter, did you use non-HQ 4K strategically to avoid artifacts? Also do you have any concerns with using non-HQ 4K for motion scenes?
If I am filming just for myself, for social media and RU-vid, 4K HQ or any of the 6k and 8k settings are just an overkill that might also come with rolling shutter issues. So, unless I shoot for work, I stick to standard 4k (can't remember right now what my settings are).
Hi, first of all: great video! One question: is this lens noisy while it's trying to focus? Like, is this lens good for video recording of people talking? Thanks!
Hello, your review is very enlightening. As an amateur, I would like to consult you on a subject that I am quite ignorant about: I am mainly interested in macro and wildlife (flying birds, animals) photography. Is the rolling shutter problem a valid situation in photography? Although I don't use video very often, I was a little uneasy. My second option is the X-T5. Does this model also have a rolling shutter problem?
Thanks man, I like it a lot! I don't know what it is but the ambient sound of Japan is so calming and authentic. How was your experience filming with the XH1? It has no IBIS right? Did you record the audio with the in camera mic?
This was with the XH2, already with a pretty good IBIS, it's good if you stay still, but for panning and slow movements Fuji isn't just as advanced as Canon, for example. And yes, it's all recorded with the in-camera mic (much better than expected!), you can hear it when it gets windy!
thank you so much :) this video was only meant as nothing else than a little memory capsule. I'm so happy to hear that it "moves some emotions" for others as well
hey there, again. A bit late, but as promised, same video but without music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SB7yTJQn8ms.html Hope you like it as much as I did!
That happens with the Sigma 18-50. That shot was actually taken exactly to show that issue for the review I did last year. I believe the leaves in this case are confusing the hell out of the lens. I should check if they have a new firmware!
great video! I’m tempted to buy this lens for my x t30 II. I have only one doubt: how I change the F in camera? Is it so uncomfortable not to have a diaphragm ring for street? Thank you again!
I am a Sony full frame user but have been looking for to build my wife a Fuji system because the compactness is more suited for what she needs. I was looking at this 18-50 and found your review video. I have to say, your shot at 8:11 is absolutely great. I love the layering of foreground to background, both in terms of closeness and in terms of how it's dark and lighter. Awesome video and great review!
