Video

@6:50 ok , I’m sold.

I would have liked to have seen a few more images. Great video though

Call me crazy, but I actually own a lovely little X-E4 AND an X-S20, and you’re correct in that they are actually wildly different cameras. For video, the X-S20 is unbeatable value, but for just photography the X-E4 is an absolute gem. It’s extremely portable-while the X-S20 is very small and portable, the X-E4 is TINY, it takes up absolutely no space in your carryon! Wonderful little camera!

Great video! I am just worried about the distortion on the face. Plus I already have a 16-50mm kit lens. Would this be redundant other than it can take better low lights?

Is it just me… or does the Viltrox, 7artisans, and TTartisans lenses all come in the same packaging? Clearly made by one factory.

The xt5 has breathed new light into the 23f2, I had been using it on an xt3, the difference is noticeable

I mostly shoot wildlife, and currently have a Lumix G9 and the Pana/Leica 100-400. It's a fantastic setup, but I have been eyeing the G9 mk2 for the better auto focus. Having spent some time with Fuji in the past, I've considered getting into Fuji instead. The 70-300 with the 1.4TC wouldn't be quite the same reach as what I have now, but with the extra pixels I could make it up by cropping. What concerns me is that the buffer on the X-T5 seems... comically small, and I don't relish the thought of needing to buy CF-B cards to get the most out of the X-H2.

I got into wedding photography, coming from sports photography. I’m used to HEAVY zoom lenses lol. So all of these prime lenses are so light to me lol, even the ones people say are heavy. Love shooting prime now!

15fps for portraits? You have a lot of time for selection 😅😮 I am borrowing an H2 atm and I also misclicked the top buttons a few times. Did you get used to it?

You compared f2 with a hood to F1.4 without the hood (reversed). If compared "fairly" it would be much more accented. Regarding "Fujicron" - I hate that name. It's like when vegan is trying to emulate a meat. Either you are are fine and happy with Fuji, or you are craving for a Leica...

dont buy new, I have a excellent condition 23mm f1.4 the new edition. go it for $580 and it ROCKS

You have also 30mm 2.8 macro lens

Great vid thanks! Subbed.

It could be the only lens I own and not complain.

Sehr gut

Классный объектив!

Awesome work as always my friend

The 18mm F2 is not a part of the Fujicrons. It is an old lens and a pancake. Not bad, but not so good as the newer 16mm F2.8, 23mm F2, 35mm F2 and 50mm F2.

i was torn between the 23mm and 33mm 1.4 - and then the viltrox 27mm 1.2 came along - got it, never looked back. sure its big and heavy, but damn... the results are just insane

why a background music

I shoot only JPG with film simulation bracketing: Provia, Classic Negative and Acros.

How bad is the autofocus..

Know i want one for my XT1

Pretty clear. However I’m still on the fence for my second bodyw I have an XT5 which I love. I’m a professional too but more in a candid, discrete style. So not so much interest in bigggg burst mode shooting (although it can be useful from times to times to catch a crucial moment, but majority of the time I take my time and i’m discreete!). I need a second body because I prefer to have two primes on each instead of a standard zoom (and also it gives me a back up camera). I hesitate between an XH2 (I may be interessed in the 50-140 in the future, for receptions and live events, artist works), or a second XT5. The benefit of two XT5 must be to have the same ergonomics , easier for my brain to grab one or the other camera without too much thinking 😅 I’m not sure the C1-2-3-4-5-6-7 would be really useful for my style.

The battery part surprised me because with my xt3 I need like 6 batteries when shooting a wedding haha. I’m moving to the Xh2 soon and I’m glad to hear that the battery life got better. I remember when the xt4 came out they said the battery life was better and it was. But still it wasn’t great.

Thank you. Very nice. Had XH2 that got stolen. Replace it with the XT5 for 2 major reasons. Size. As a landscape guy (getting older) every oz. counts. Second the way the screen flips. Nearly impossible to use it with an L bracket. Perfect instead on the XT5. Best

I just ordered one 😁

ugh, stop saying PASM, it's a mode dial. It makes you sound like a hipster doofus.

Thanks for video ,really good! What film simulation do you like to use

This was great, just what I wanted to know. Thanks!

Thank you for video,nreally helpful

I want one but can't get my hands on one

Great review. I’ve used both the 23mm f2 and 23mm 1.4 extensively and prefer the look and feel of the f2. It gives great results and is far more discrete. Most importantly the size and weight of the f2 lenses encourage me to go out and take photos-the 1.4 lenses are fantastic but their size and weight really can spoil the experience as you really know about it if you’ve got one round your neck or in your bag.

Hi Jason, great video, and loved your spontaneity. Used 23 f2 or new Viltrox 1.4, same price, what will you chose? I do street mostly and portraits every now and then.

What camera did you use to film this vlog?

Great review Looks like u really can’t go wrong with either camera, im also disappointed the didn’t make a battery grip for the XT5 but the L bracket does help. Interesting to see you don’t take a spare camera on a gig, you mentioned you leave the Xt5 at home. I must have a lot of bad luck, over 15 years i have had 6,7 situations were the backup camera has saved my day.

Sold my X-T4 and bought the X-H2 and X-H2S, because I wanted 2 bodies with the same buttons and design. I often use them both for a 2 camera multicam video. Very happy with my choice.

I love the video but I think the 18mmf2 is not a Fujicron and is not weather sealed. All the mentioned are except the 18mmf2. Everybody is waiting for the new version of the lens on f2, eventually weather sealed (considering that the 27mm2.8 got a WR on the Ver 2) but even this last one is not Fujicron.

This is the best video about the difference between them, thank you, really, I made a decision.

I'm 6'1" with long fingers... I gotta have that XH2 grip.

Only slightly annoying. Sorry....

I use huge lenses on my xe4 all the time hahahahah I probably shouldn’t. Getting an 85mm f1.4 soon

Very good vid but the music is both totally unnecessary & terrible, only managed to watch 4 mins!

Im so confused. I sold my fujifilm xs10 and 3 lenses. I just wanted something that had a soul. I ordered x100vi, but it's sold all over 😢😂 soo now im like... i want that fujifilm feeeeeel.. with the dials. I was thinking of xt5, but is that to big again? I hear people say it has a cheap feel to it... and i dont want the xs20, it looks so boring.. even if it's the best buck for ur money. I want something that can do great photo and do videos as well. Not so big! I dont know why im writing here.. i need a camera and i don't know which to buy 😅 now i regret selling my lenses.. i could've changed the camerabody.. hmm

Can’t decide which camera to buy for my first ever camera. Torn between Sony and Fuji, so many options 😅

I have both the XT5 and XH2, the XH2 is my big lens camera, the primary lens that i use on it is the Fujifilm 100-400mm glass like this one just works so much better on a larger body with a proper grip.

I just bought a sony to go professional. Why am i watching a comparison video , fuuuuuuulk

Nice video! Have you considered sigma 23mm f/1.4? Any thoughts about this?

Great video. Thank you. I’m currently putting money aside to buy a used 23mm f2 for my XT3. It will be my poor man’s X100V 😂

I really want to buy fujifilm but the place i am from you don’t get weddings if you shoot with fujifilm. So am on in Canon cloud for now.
