Fuji skin tones are great, but it's the greens in the grass and leaves that just looks so good. Sony has them looking very yellow. One of the reasons I love shooting wildlife with Fuji.

Kasey: Search your feelings - and these recent s-20 videos - and you will see how much happier you are when you are reviewing fuji cameras! LISTEN TO YOUR HEART - LET FUJI IN!

I since switched to the Nikon Z8, but I had the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro for my X-H2 and I absolutely loved it. Super sharp wide open, very solid build quality and (after the update) great autofocus. If that was a first party Fujinon, they'd charge at least 2x what Viltrox is charging. Viltrox is really killing it these days.

Try the GFX 100 II for the most overkill toneh talking head videos. We want to see it.

That XS20 slo mo was incredible in every way. Such a huge improvement over the XS10, I had one

I’ve had this lens for a few weeks and one of the best things (besides the sharpness) is how close it focuses. Feels borderline macro compared to my other lenses.

That squirrel is a menace and you are in danger.

the fuji blows the sony away. the detail, color, and sharpness and slow motion look amazing. sony is good but not as good for sure.

I actually find the wider depth of field on fuji an advantage since i do a lot of closeup/macro where it gets so narrow anything helps, for other stuff, not so much

If you have loads of time and love editing in post then sure, the FF Sony can give you an edge due to it being FF, but if you want the best image quality for the least time spend then Fuji nails it hands down. The SOC images are wonderful from the Fuji. I almost never have to resort to RAW and can rely on Fuji’s rendering to produce a image that I describe as having ‘realness’. Most of the Images and video from camera’s like Sony etc all feel digitally ‘fake’ to me. Unless there was heavy processing involved it’s like watching a bad B-movie from the early days of digital camera’s.

Following since your Panasonic G-85 and mitokon 0.95 video.... Your channel and your humor is gold and your music slaps .

I was waiting faithfully for you to review this lens so I could finally use one of your coveted affiliate links. Yesterday, I ended up getting it based on a video from Xing and used his (link). This was my failure, not yours. When Viltrox makes a 13mm 1.2, I’ll wait and then pounce on your review.

The equivalent aperture thing works a little better if the focal length is closer to equivalent, so obviously now you need the Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical

You can get the pop back with a tweak of the contrast slider. Yes, many lens elements reduce contrast, but as long as your camera isn't recording at ISO12800 there should be plenty enough color depth to boost the image in post without banding.

The Fuji X-S20 is where it's at for a single camera that can do a bit of everything. I don't need another camera. This is my stop. The body buying stops with the Fuuuge. For now.

Amazing how you got that butterfly to beat his wings in conjunction with the music. He did mess up after a few seconds though. It was a white butterfly.

Fujifilm seriously has me considering selling all my RF kit and getting into Fuji MF with a S-X20 as a video kit. Their APSC sensors have impressive performance numbers and are pretty much comparable to FF. If they ever run some deals or a used kit comes on the market I might do it!

i've used APS-C so much that when i use full frame i get really annoyed when i have to walk closer.. is there any hope for me at all?

Back to sandals instead of barefoot? Illegal in Canada? Moms death gripping their children's hands as the camera uncle walks by! LOL! That X-S20 did a nice job. It's a nice little camera as a photography/videography/vlogging combo. The focus transition was really nice and smooth with this lens. Pretty cool. Thanks for the review. Have a great day!

I just ordered the Viltrox, but I prefer the CV 35mm f/1.2 That squirrel is scary!

Is this song new? I like it

That zoom on the wiggly squirrel had me :'D Thank you for this video !

Editing was great on this one. Seems like he is more inspired lately or just having fun again.

I'm having the worst time trying to get decent colors out of my Sony, I've tried everything Leeming LUTS, Phantom Luts (Arri conversion), all kinds of Slog-3 conversion LUTS, etc. There's also tons of conflicting information out there about exposure for Slog-3. Expose normally, overexpose 1.7-2 stops. It's driving me crazy!

You are great, thanks for the video, hugs from Brazil.

If you can get a hold of one of Light Lens Labs's lenses, tell us if it gives the 3D pop we crave. Also Fujifilm's grass rendition is less yellow than Sony's. Sort of like their older negative films with the extra cyan layer (guess they meant it about classic neg).

Forget about this lens. I need your music. TODAY!

Nikon Zf has dedicated color and monochrome buttons plus 1080 /120p can’t wait to see you shoot with this technological marvel! can’t handle it

Why does the Fujifilm look like it has 4 stops of dynamic range? Is it just the contrast of Classic Neg? Have you tried Nostalgic Neg?

Is this good content ? You betcha ! says the dancing squirrel of doom at 8:04 😂

Does the Fujifilm XS20 also have film simulation for video?

XS-20 and the Tamron 11-20mm for the vlog glory?

My girlfriend's dog won't stop nose boopin me so unfortunately I don't know what you're saying.

slo mo looked so good

That Voigtlander is giving me full frame envy.

question: which one to choose between fuji xf 35mm 1.4 or the viltrox 27mm 1.2

I get my pop by clicking a button and adding it in post

Slo-mo swaying squirrel is mesmerising.

Full Frame Fuji would have been magic: nailed it with that comment

The fullbody comparison, the voigtländer at f1.2 made it look like a really bad green screen shot. This is what people are looking for?

That photo montage was great!!!

The Viltrox has some pop, not comparable to the obscene pop of the mightyVoighty though. I bet a bit of play with both magic distances would create more- maybe incorporate some weasel slomo- see what I did there?

This is the most fun I have seen you have in any of your videos. Having a bit too much fun with the peasant-worthy Fuji? The Squirrel footage and editing was amazing too, props for that. As much as I would like to have a FF Fuji camera, going the APS-C route was far from the wrong decision considering the success of the X100 line. Also, what's the fixation with the "3D Pop" in this video? Did the "toneh" got into your mind and now you want to isolate yourself from this plane of existence like Tony in that lake? Guess it would be nice but 90% of people would still prefer sharpness quality over 3D simply because you expect a $500-$1000 investment on a lens to have the best image quality possible. That Zeiss lens is MF only isn't it? You have to pick your poison, baby.

Sony "green"

8:02 Dope shot!!!

"...a little OK, slightly acceptable..." haha, nowhere else will I find those kinds of qualifiers.

Your best b roll to date.

Between Fuji and Viltrox lenses you've got the perfect crop sensor system in terms of glass, crazy thing is I still choose to shoot with the stinky old-tech FSI sensor on the Canon R7 just because it has the extra resolution and HDR-PQ HEIF support for super vivid images on an OLED TV. (Yes, the R7 is sharper than the Fuji 40MP, I have no idea how Fuji does it but they delete a lot of detail in the X-TRANS files) So for the time being I'm stuck using the old EF40mmf2.8 on the R7 until Fuji can figure out how to make film simulations work in HDR-PQ.

Dear Uncle 3D Pop, I'd like to make a request. Could you please mention the titles of the music you use in your videos? Thank you.

That's a sexy setup right there

I am debating the X-S20 or the Hasselblade large format for video work, really stuck on my decisions because I know X-S20 great for visiting Antarctica with, but the Hasselblade large format produces superior images that will get me women.

I always liked standard Fuji colors better but nowadays I like Sony more if edited properly. Your samples for me look more natural on the Sony. More neutral skin tones while Fuji bringing too much magenta. Shot outside on the Sony looks more natural and yellowish in the sunny weather with nice color of the sky, maybe just touch too much yellow on the grass. I guess the shot where you sit down on the grass with f4 setting is Provia on the Fuji. This one looks nicer but dynamic range is poor then. F-log and Eterna are not to my liking at all. Also the special look of Voigtlander 35 f1.2 on a FF is just no contest. You can't replicate that on APS-C and buying those gigantic Viltrox lenses for APS-C is hilarious although their 75 f1.2 can give something similar looking to the FF. Man I am more and more pushed towards selling all my Fuji stuff and buying A7C II. Oh and by the way Fuji is still doing focus pulsing even though you just sit in one place on the grass and aperture is f4. Oh boy it's 2023 and it shouldn't happen even with third party glass.

If you're wide open at f/1.2, and focused, then decide stop down, have you found the focus to shift? It's almost like focus breathing.

Put voigtlander on the Fuji

Hi...i'm so confused between getting x-s20 and sony a6700...im more of photography first, but would like to try video options to get best slo-mo (4k and Full hd) videos for my family occasions. Literally pondering every where to know which is best allrounder(lens, ecosystem, budget etc)..

How many FPS you shoot on slow motion takes? Great video!

Geeeez, what a brutal charisma you have 🤍😀 You should consider some yoga meditation mantra videos too. What a calming video. Thank you.

That squirrel was incredible

Deep down in your plumbs you know that you're a Fuji boi :) #engagingcomment

I have watched other reviews of this lens and I cannot agree with you that is lacks 3D pop and micro contrast. Not sure if it was your settings or what... but I think you should revisit this aspect and maybe do further comparisons.

I thought you were making the 'micro-contrast' thing up, for a laugh - but I think it is a real thing. It really looked obvious in a few of these shots. Cheers, Cam from NZ:)

Colors were amazing on the people footage, what color profile did you use for those shots?

My gripe with the Fuji in the lawn scene is the awful sky color compared to the Sony.

I think viltrox is very good But background is a trouble when you compare 27 1.2 vs 35 1.4, may be it fair than

So X-S20 beats out X-H2S for amateur users?

Viltrox 28mm 1.8 FE would pop in Sony

Hi Kasey, Shall I replace my A7C with the XS20? I do product photography, mainly watches. If yes what lens do you recommend? I started on A6600. The benefit I found on the A7c is the depth of field.

How did you do the color thing!!!! Super interesting 🧐 sorry for my ignorance

So is the Fuji 16mm 1.4 the only lens that has 3D pop in the system in your opinion? I kind of want it but know it’s kind of noisy. Like the close focus abilities

Is there any lens for Fuji with that kind of 3d pop, as Sony with voigtlander ?

Why are your vids not showing up in my feed or subscribed section even though I am subscribed!?

I like the Sony Voigtländer combination more.

ok, but I'm waiting for the g9 ii, how are the leica 12-35, the 35-100 and the new 100-400?

Are you looking forward to the a7s3 software update?

wait.. i was listening at 8x speed per usual to get over your laconic Southern drawl but at 3:00 I heard you say 35mm 1.4... did you misspeak? did u mean the 35 1.2? misspoke? what's goin on? i dunno but me either

Would you recommend this combo for a beginner who wants to get into photography?

does fuji xs-20 fix issue with red-orange colors? We need tests with glory red T-shirt! ;)

Get yourself a sign....................................THIS PARK IS MINE!

It doesn't matter because 1.2 and 1.4 didn't make any sense when you under construction right? (Love you man 😉)

Viltrox & Fuji.. The best arranged Marriage on RU-vid.. ● Hopefully for Nikon Z, as efficient & Aesthetic.

It's funny: But the sony colours make everyone look like a hulk. Sony sees the strenth in everyone, while fuji makes you look like a normal human being, lol!

New music? 🔥

Boy are you shooting the standart shoots in Provia?? Eterna would be much better, and always stop down a little on the Fuuj. Higlights are near blown out in the hard contrasty provia look.. Love your Channel:)

All these Chinese makers..... omg, can you believe that it's $15? That had me laughing so hard! Its totally true!

7:45 awwww

Would you ever consider reviewing display tech?

wtf is this grain in the background (on trees for example). How is that possible in bright day?

Yeah a full frame bodied lens on an APSC only camera system is pretty sad. There's no edge and corner performance to check on as its sharp from edge to edge and corner to corner. APSC and many full frame and mirrorless medium format lenses are all sharp edge to edge and corner to corner and every format looks the same. There's no longer an apsc look or full frame look or medium format look, unless you get a Voightlander, Zeiss, Leica or Pentax lens for that cinematic 3D pop dimensional image quality. The problem is the Fotograffee industry and Poofessional Fotograffers have been demanding lenses be sharp from edge to edge and corner to corner - now everything looks the same. Same bokeh, same bokeh balls, no flares and no CA's (which create 3D pop). Over corrected lenses and everything looks clinical and sterile from edge to edge and corner to corner. Sony's getting rid of Zeiss slowly and what will they have soon, 20 element count lenses in 19 groups - do you want that? no I don't want that! The fotograffers are killing the industry and killing lens design with massive element count lenses that have corrected for all aberrations especially 3D pop/dimensionality........ I watched a review of the Pentax designed Tokina Firin 100mm 2.8 macro versus the Sony 90mm 2.8 macro and versus the super sharp 17 element Sigma 105mm 2.8 macro for E-mount. The sigma was the sharpest but rendered a totally flat 2D image. The Sony with one extra element over the Tokina had 3D pop but not as much as the 100mm Firin. But you watch Fotograffers embrace the Sigma lens for its sharpness and "Aberrations are all well controlled" image rendering. Its utter madness. Fuji lenses have no 3D pop, its all huge element counts and aberrations are all under control and image rendering is flat.

Fuji much better AF than Sony. That's reality in today's test.

Thank you for the video . I want to ask. The music used 7,10 / 9:15 . Can you tell which music. Can ı find it?

At least compare it at 1.8 on full frame! Come on!

"Am I in focus?"

Batman, Squirrel edition

why get this when you can get a g9II and leica lens 🤨

Slow Mo is lookin great

Fuji colors are like my eyeballs are suddenly and inexplicably diseased. Fuji does do black good though... I've noticed that. Example: The black squirrel shots were awesome and terrifying in equal measure.

I like Viltrox. They make great lenses. But, Fuji? Their autofocus still struggles. Deal breaker.

Blond ass out of focus but black squirrel shots where wow wow...and great music

That focus breathing though....
