Model photography is a true mystery to me. The most insane poses get you great results. Here, for instance, the model looks amazing in pictures even though, if you look at the scene from a distance, she looks like she’s taking a dump standing up. This is nuts.

@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss 3 года назад

I was thinking the exact same thing. It looks so stupid in the videos but the photos look perfect… 😂😂😂

My X-T4 with 23mm f1.4 has been sitting around collecting dust. I rented the 18mm f1.4 and I love the images I am getting. Better for shooting when out with friends, very sharp, and just worth buying in my opinion. Selling the 23mm and buying this.

@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures 3 года назад

Killer photos you two. I especially liked the more distant shots owning tge landscape, and the closer-in 18mm head and shoulders shots. Oh man, this lens looks too good - and 18mm / 28 equivalent is my favourite focal length. I mean I love my 18mm f/2 on my X-Pro3, it firs perfectly and has great 'pop', but for my low-light gug and wedding work this looks the business. The 16mm f/1.4 is great and all but was always just a bit too wide for me, so a trade in I think! By the way love your shots where you see the fold out screen as you shoot. Real cool.

@LeeZavitz 3 года назад

Unless you need the extra 2mm wider I would rather have the 18mm. But the manual focus is much nicer on the 16mm if you do that often

Great review & photo shoot. The model is one of the coolest I've seen in 30 years as a photographer. She just gets it!

@babyboy1971 2 года назад

I’m a longtime Fuji shooter, specializing in portraits & headshots. Occasional family session or engagement session. Do you find the XPRO 3 a good portrait camera? I’m currently shooting with the XT3 and X100V, but the X100 has really made me fall in love with the rangefinder feel. And yes, I definitely want this lens!

@benjones8977 3 года назад

@@mattndeedeegardner7471 The 90 F2 and the 50 F2. I have found over the last five years that these three lenses will give me everything I need in regards to street photography. Considering Fuji cameras aren’t the fastest or most accurate in auto focus, you need the fastest focusing lenses you can get. And the bokeh on all three is really good!

@kevindiossi 3 года назад

Great images and a fun video. As much as I truly love my Fuji lenses, I come from the Canon R5/R6 and the autofocus has been a monumental step backwards. It hasn't bothered me too much because I'm not shooting sports and weddings with my Fuji stuff, but it's pretty hit and miss with this X-E4. That hasn't stopped me from taking the next step and buying an X-T4 when they get back in stock, though...these are probably the most fun digital cameras I've ever owned and I love the look the lenses provide. That said, I don't think I can part ways with my 18mm f/2 for my street and travel photos. This lens looks to be optically incredible, but the size/weight of the f/2 is hard to beat for my uses.

@LeeZavitz 3 года назад

Yeah ive been shooting Sony as my main camera for the last 3 years and even when I shot with the R5 I would still say Sony is more reliable and predictable. Fuji has the tech. I think it will be amazing in the next generation of Fuji cameras

@jesters16 3 года назад

I like the 18mm focal length I was thinking of getting this to replace my F 2 version. But your correct the autofocus between Fuji lens is inconsistent. I know the F 2 is an older Fuji lens but it sounds like death when focusing.

@voorachter2733 3 года назад

Fuji should update their entire f1.4 lineup and make them like the new xf 18 with fast AF and weather resistance.

Hey Lee! Geat content, glad to have a solid dp testing gear. I am switching to Fuji, my first set up being the Xt4 with 18-35mm but I was wondering if you have speedboosted any of your primes on the Fuji with like a metabones or something like that? I really want to speedboost some Xeen cine lenses, but not sure what the result would be. Thanks for the great content will be scrolling through to see if you have any footage with the x cameras !

@LeeZavitz 3 года назад

Ive only just used a regular adapter. Never used a speed booster on Fuji cams. Sorry

@charliejg 2 года назад

So glad I found your channel. I just love natural light stuff. I also love listening to you speak with (rather than at) the models. While a lens like this is not even close to my budget, there is lots to learn here about posing a model and having fun. In terms of the Fuji f2 trio(23, 35, 50), which do you think would be the best to as a starter prime? Those are the most affordable for me and I'd love to get one of them. Thanks!!

@LeeZavitz 2 года назад

The 35mmf2 is a good lens (for photos) the 23mm is my least favourite of the 3. And can’t go wrong with the 50mm as well. But I would recommend 35mmf2 first
