Stupid camera with the useless FiLm dial, big fail by Fuji, also theyve used the old battery. Feels cheap and like a camera youd give your baby to play with lol
I have this lens and there is a lot to love. It is an absolute joy to use. It just looks and feels made to a super high standard. Optics are obviously great too. Sharp even wide open and it doesn't do anything wrong. The only negative I have is that I'm not always loving the bokeh with busy backgrounds. For that reason I actually prefer to use my cheap 7artisans 25mm F1.8 in situations where soft and pleasant background blur is what I want (which is quite often). Fact is that I often find myself liking the output from the optically and mechanically inferior lens more (I know it's not a 100% apples to apples comparison due to the slight difference in focal length but I think it's close enough to be an alternative). In that perspective the 8x price difference makes the Voigtländer a luxury item to me. Worth it to some if they have the cash. And I'm a bit on the fence with regards to whether or not I really belong in that group. But I sure do love the feel of that manual focus ring and the accurate markings on it.
I was looking at buying on of these but then the 1.4 55mm Meike came up, now I dunno lol. Its not really the max apeture, but I really like having the apertrure ring on a lens for x mount.
its a question of what you need. F1.4 is nice; it's optically better? If you like the aperture; please go for it. For me I still love the TTartisan F1.8. Because I could shoot closer.
Silver for me, the black is not available where I am anyway. I'm going into town tomorrow to buy the silver. Nice video by the way, I must check out your channel.
That was a great review, I really like this photo at 2:01, I am looking forward to buy this for product videography. I am curious if I can use this for smooth focusing, like if I move my object on a table from 2 mtrs to 0.5m, will it hold up the focus?
‼️ A nice camera. I would buy it if it hasn't the film simulation wheel. This is a toy for Instagram people... p.s. the price for the X-T50 body in Switzerland is actual sFr. 1250.- (€ 1240.-) in Interdiscount shop......
I have the xt5, but prefer the xt50. I have a Leica m6 ttl, Hasselblad 501cm, Ricoh gr3 and gr3x. Told you what cameras I have just like everyone else does, even though it’s pointless. That Ricoh gr3x is no slouch.
Hello Warren, This is tough one. If you could afford it; Go for the X-T50 and 16-50mm. This set-up will go a long way as it the latest compared with XT-30 II and kit.
The biggest problem with this camera is the price. In Malaysia, it is going for RM7999 (Body only). Whereas the X-T5 only costs a little bit more RM8500 (Body only). You get a better battery, weather resistance, dual SD card & etc for just an extra RM500. At this point, the X-T50 makes no sense unless you are looking for a slightly smaller & lighter body.
I think Fuji could have just removed the IBIS and marked down the price a little. Really hope that the rumored upcoming X-E5 will be more reasonably priced.
@@FujiFanBoys I have the original 56, not the wr. curious because it's very old already.. I'm sure that colors are better and probably not less sharp at 1.8 anyway I use it on old bodies and probably wouldn't noticed any different
Don't take life too seriously. I am with you on the Price and Film Simulation dial with the X-T50; Fujifilm as a company have always take risk and try to gain reach a bigger audience. Most of the time they do well and there are also time like X-pro3 and X-F10 which didn't appeal to the market. As for X-T50, they have succeeded in reaching the younger and new to the brand. ( and thus buying more new lenses) As for mature photographer there are still many other Fujifilm options for us. Cheers mate and have a great weekend.
In my opinion,Fuji fan XT50 is - Overprice for entry level camera - Ugly design ,no modern,no classic vintage - No weather shield - Too small when use with some lens, its like a baby toy - I don t like simulation film dial ,it s not necessory For me pay more little money for XT5 is better 😊😊😊
It isn't the entry level, that is the X-T30 II It looks like a classic SLR, you clearly haven't had one. The X-Txx has never had WR, it is a differentiator, as is the EVF, dials, dual card slots etc. It isn't meant to be paired with large lenses, size is literally the point of it being smaller. The FS dial is not aimed at you. The selling point of marketing the Fuji to new users is Film Simulations. Size, weight and cost of the X-T5 does not matter to *YOU* it does to *OTHERS*
I do not like zoom Lenses ! The new Fuji GF 500mm is compact and light weight, but the Fuji GFX cameras are big and heavy (like some Canon and Nikon cameras !!!), the Fuji GF 500mm is equivalent to 400mm in full frame, so not much reach, but you can crop a lot you use 100 megapixels ! I use the excellent Sony A7RIVA with 61 megapixel and the excellent Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports. Fuji X-H2 + 150-600mm = 2320 g, Sony A7RVA + Sigma 500mm = 2035 g, Fuji GFX 100SII = 2258 g.
All this are excellent option for consideration. Having all equal even when crop in; the 16 bit is the winner for IQ. teh downside; the reach is not there and AF is its weakest link. Not that it's bad. cheers
Great comparison. I've just bought the TTartisan .. my first lens by them, and to be honest I'm very impressed and used it on a music video shoot today. I'll be also making use of it shooting both weddings I'm doing this week
Thanks man. I just received this lens today. I am enjoying it so far, but have only shot around the house and yard. No spectacular or particularly interesting shots so far. However, the focusing has been mostly quite easy (I'm a newbie) and most of my shots have been quite sharp. I was wanting a really small, light and sharp lens for my T5. Something with magic. Your photos are amazing and inspiring (and dare I say), magical I'll keep going and use this lens over the next weeks to see if this manual lens can be the EDC lens I have been waiting for.
Hello Mark, Congrats on your new V. It's indeed special and I am certain you gonna enjoy the experience more and more when you use it. In fact my set-up for today was a X-Pro3 with the 27mm too. Have a good one and greetings from Singapore.
Are there any other improvements regarding new sensor like more punchier colors and more vivid, or just more pixels and everything else is the same as 4th gen sensor.
I know they are of different focal length but between this and the 27mm f2 what do you recommend to get as my first manual focus only lens for my XT3? I have the XF33mm f1.4 just to note
