Hello everyone! This is Xing from Instagram @caliallstaring. I have been mainly a Fujifilm user since 2013 with 9 years of Fujifilm portraits experience and counting. My first mirrorless camera was X100S and first interchangeable mirrorless was X-T1 with 56mm F1.2. Around 2018, I started to experiment with more mirrorless cameras from other brands and created more comparison videos. Nowadays, I want to show more real life examples on how I shoot portraits and share my experience with you in my channel.
My favorite photography style: backlight portraits :)
My cameras: Fujifilm X-H2, X-T4, X-S10, X-T3, X-T2, Canon EOS R6, Sony A7iv, Nikon Z6ii, iPhone 13 Pro Max

This was absolutely way more helpful than most of the review videos. I’ve seen out there that go on and on about specs. This was just straight up comparison, and it was pretty easy to tell, which was which - at least for me. I think I’m going with the Fuji!
Thanks so much for watching 😊🙏
12 plus years old and this lens is still delivering the goods
😊🙌🌟
What model is the monitor? Thank you
Hi, here is my monitor setup: czcams.com/video/O3QtzhG6iag/video.htmlsi=IMchr-rmqWygG0ij
Cool
Thank you 😊
What screen recorder do you use?

If you had to choose between Fuji XT5 with XF90 mm f 2 and Lumix S5II with Panasonic 85 mm 1.8, what would you choose? In terms of colors which is the best in your opinion? Thank you.
Lumix S5ii, and colors both are great and unique. Fuji has more film tones, and S5ii has nice sigma lenses choices
@@caliallstaring Thank you so much!
Could you try to apply the fuji film profile to the sony raw and see if their compare?
Hi, there is no default Fuji profile for Sony, I tried some third party profiles before, but it was not good.
omg this is amazing, do you have the recipe? great video
Thank you 😊 here are the settings: Film Simulation: Provia. Color +2, highlight-1, shadow 0, Sharpness +1, NR (-2), Color Chrome Effect: weak, Color Chrome Blue: weak. White balance: 6000k
Never seen a sharper Screen recording than this 😮
Thank you so much 😊🙏
How is it for food photographs?
Hi, for food photography, you need more room for this lens because it requires more room in front to work with.
Not much of a difference between these two lenses..both looks sharper except wr has warmer colors.Thank you so much,great comparision...I hope that the 56 mm 1.2R behaves ok on the xt5
Thanks so much for watching 🙏😊
I would have been more curious to see how it behaves on a 40.1 mp sensor, 56 mm 1.2 mk I

Do you use high res photography?

Hello. I'm a little undecided RF 85 mm / RF 28-70 mm what do you think.
Hi, I go for the RF85mm 😊
@@caliallstaring thank y bro 😉
long distance or portrait distance background isn't evaluable, I think (sadly) the 75 is a bit nervous
Thanks for sharing your insights
Nice, the image quality of 80mm is superb! I love the 80mm, the more bokeh from 90mm doesn’t bother me at all.😊
Thank you so much 😊🙏

Wow it‘s crazy how good that autofocus is. Last year I tested a GFX 50S and it was way slower and it was pumping.
😊👌
Please request 50mm f2 vs 50mm f1 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thanks, I have to mark it down 😊
Thanks ☺️❤️ @@caliallstaring
What are you using to attach your larger screen to the top of your camera? Is that a phone or just a larger screen for viewing purposes? I’ve been meaning to set something up like this just so that I can get a better idea of whether I’m getting the focus perfect or not. And seeing things I might miss on the smaller viewfinder/camera screen.
Hi, here is my screen setup: czcams.com/video/O3QtzhG6iag/video.htmlsi=na5nuVlyDrv_70QZ

Thank you for the comparison! I had the Zeiss and was really content with it. But then the GM was released and I thought I would achieve an improvement in AF, size and weight. So I sold the Zeiss to get the GM. With the GM I'm content too. But watching my former pictures, that I took with the Zeiss, I guess I regret having switched. And for me your comparison shows that too. I mostly shoot models, and the Zeiss has this 3D pop, that always left me speechless. I prefer the more dreamy look and the flares are welcome for that. For the GM I use a mist filter 1/8 grade (NiSi not Tiffen, the Tiffen seems a bit strong for my taste) and that helps a bit. I do not like to switch back again at the moment. But I would always prefer the Zeiss.
Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Just wondering. Between Viltrox 27mm and 75mm. Which do you carry or use more? In terms of sharpness and bokeh, Which do you prefer? I'm planning to start my Lenses build aroung Viltrox and can only afford one for now. Thanks
Hi, 75mm F1.2 Pro will have great bokeh and very specialized for portraits. You can start with 75mm F1.2 for portraits first and then later with 27mm combo
@@caliallstaring Thanks!
Hi...sir. Which combination best ? Sony a7 iii with Samyang 85mm 1.4 Sony a6400 with Viltrox 75mm 1.2 Which of these two combinations gives the best result?

Here is another one with F1.2: czcams.com/users/shortsiOGph_7R7BE?si=Pt__A9tDiWjCe94B

Yes, correct 😊
