your photos have made me definitely want this lens, also a reminder that i love taking pics like this too. :)

@Kasia_Luna 11 месяцев назад

Also, absolutely adore the behind the scenes footage!! It was a joy to be taken on the journey with you.

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

My wife will appreciate that!!!! :). Thank you!!

Gorgeous compositions!

Dude I think the 85mm focal length is great for landscape photography and you capture nature very well with this lens. You have such a way of taking the mundane and creating lovely images and videos, I envy that. Thanks for the video. That butterfly though!

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, Hunter! I appreciate it man. Butterflies are so much fun. I'm going to rent the 40-150 for Olympus JUST to get butterfly shots this weekend! lol - and I do NOT need any more of them.

I never thought about shooting close-up,images in the garden with the 56/1.2, Jerred, so thanks for putting this video together.

Hey - AWESOME! That's so cool! Go take some cool photos with it, and reach out to share them if you can (jerredz on most platforms and jerredz@gmail.com for email). Thanks for watching!

i actually really love the photos of the flower with the water spray in them! the little rainbow bokeh at 2:44 is so pretty 🤩 so many lovely images in this video!

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, Kendra! Lots of fun working with the water - even if most didn't work out the way I wanted! BUT - I came away with some good stuff, i think. Thank you!

@paulthomas8986 11 месяцев назад

You got some beautiful shots there. I will never get tired of taking pictures of flowers and clouds. They are just so beautiful. I must add its pretty tiring positioning and contorting your body around to take flower shots. There has to be some yoga points in there 😆

Oh, Paul.. .and with my giant tummy in the way, it's hard too!! lol! Thanks man!

@charliejg 11 месяцев назад

I think both the 56 and the 90 are great outdoors. And, when you stop them down they are killer sharp. Beautiful images Jerred, have a great weekend!

@paulinfrancis 11 месяцев назад

I agree, the 90 is fantastic for this kind of shooting. I have the 50/1, not the 56. I really like that too, but wished it had a slightly shorter minimum focus distance. If I had to choose, I’d take the 90.

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

You too my man, and thank you for watching!

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

The 90 is AWESOME for this kind of stuff, but the 56 has taken over for me because it has some better minimum focus distance... just kind of vibes more with my style.

@charliejg 11 месяцев назад

@brownbear100 11 месяцев назад

Love the WR for this. The added contrast and smoother bokeh compared to the old version makes all the difference. Such a characterful lens. Used to use the 23 1.4 WR for this and 90mm if there was space. I can see the 56 replacing the 23 for this purpose. Would be great if you could share the film recipe you used. Classic chrome based as a guess.

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

Oh boy... I love the 90. I have bought and sold it twice! HA! And as far as a recipe - I don't really use them any longer - unless I have a specific idea. These are all Nostalgic Negative as a base with white balance dialed in... and that's it! Then it's just a quick contrast adjustment in Lightroom. Thank you for watching!

@chrisjames1924 11 месяцев назад

As great as it is, I kinda regret buying the XF 56mm. It’s a joy to use and takes great pictures but the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 looks to be better in pretty much every department. Their 27mm f1.2 also looks great as well. I read recently that Sigma is bringing out a fast 135mm for x mount. That would be a dream prime but can’t find any further info.

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

I hear you! I just find the working distance more my style with the 56 - the Viltrox just doesn't do it for me - not because of image quality, but I just like getting in closer personally. It's still a great option though.

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

My man - do you need EVERY lens on the planet? (and of course the answer is yes... yes you do). Can't wait to see your shots with it! A little slow to focus... but still awesome to work with. I do wish Fuji had an 85mm lens that reacted as quickly as both the Sony GM and Sigma Art 85 lenses do... but I guess I've finally come to peace that Fuji just might not ever get to that level in autofocus speed!

@DanFarrar 11 месяцев назад

Wow that background blur is incredible ❤. 1:31 - what is that in the hotshoe?

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

Oh, Dan - yes. I agree. I wish it was full of a little more light... but the softness overcomes that, right? And the contraption is the VRIG MG-03 - a magnetic phone attachment for some b-roll! I didn't end up using much of it, but it's nice to have. I know you love your gadgets, Dan!! :). Thank you so much.

@DanFarrar 11 месяцев назад

@@JerredZ yep, I do enjoy a gadget lol. I was hoping that it was the camera reading your thoughts through your forehead. Instead, you just pop your phone on the magnet! -pretty cool too 😁

HA!! now THAT would be a good gadget!

@mikefoster6018 11 месяцев назад

I don't know if your WR version is the same, but the original 56mm f1.2 apparently gathers light less than one might think, due to its apodisation filter - as best f1.7. EDIT - turns out only some of the old 56mm have that apodisation filter. The others gather light like a usual f1.2.

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

I have no idea, but the WR version rocks either way - but thanks for this in case others might notice something like this?

@mikefoster6018 11 месяцев назад

@@JerredZ It also seems like only some of the old 56mm ones had that APD. Either way, like you say, a great lens and I mine worked a treat in some night time shots in London. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's awesome f1.2 bokeh is sooooo seductive to someone learning photography, and became a bit of a crutch for me for about two years XD Now I like to work a bit harder to have worthy backgrounds more in focus.

@4Kandlez Месяц назад

Fujifilm made two separate versions of the old 56, one with and one without the APD filter. They are clearly identifiable.

@mikefoster6018 Месяц назад

@@4Kandlez Yeah I've since learned that. It's a good point. Sounds like the APD one is rarer. Shouldn't done my own homework before posting.

Lovely stuff, Jerred. But... as if I need reminding that I want this lens... 😅

@JerredZ 11 месяцев назад

HA! I get it! I hesitated to get the WR version because I already had the older version... but honestly it's worth it for me. However - I will say the Sigma 56 isn't shabby for X-Mount!

@kzr83 11 месяцев назад

@@JerredZ I don't have any 56mm yet. But, on account of the min focus distance improvement alone, it must be this one, cost be damned... 😅 IQ seems to be insane also. You seen Christopher Frost's review? I've seen that and many others 🤣
