In this video we compare the Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 with the GF 80mm f/1.7. Both lenses are perfect for a variety of genres, but shine when it comes to landscape work, portraiture, and weddings.

    Hi! This is my first time buying a camera + lenses and im really struggling with the decision. I’m mostly a fashion and beauty photographer, and I want to specialize in studio photography but also in portraits outside. Would you say this is a good lens for me? I mean, this is obviously a great lens in general, but i don’t know if I should buy just this lens or would be better if I buy 2 or 3 cheaper lenses. Thanks for reading! I hope someone can help me

    • @TheZachMendez
      @TheZachMendez Před 7 dny

      It all depends on your work/use/etc. But I would also suggest looking into the 24-70. Very similar lens but slightly more affordable. I think investing in a really nice lens will often produce better results than cheaper lenses at multiple focal lengths. Just my opinion.

    It is a shame that the RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens is NOT compatible with a 1.4 teleconverter. It is NOT an internal zoom lens as the lens barrel extends when zooming. I used the EF 70-200mm f2.8 for at least 17 years & never had an issue with it.

    Love your reviewing style, but could you leave the music off in the background as I have a hearing issue which make it near impossible to hear over background sound, and the music is also too distracting. I kept rewinding to try and catch what was said, so took a long time to get through and due to all the rewinding, interrupted too much to take in all the information.

    It's like the vinyl versus digital debate. Digital presents us with accuracy so going with older analogue solutions is in effect saying you spurn accuracy and want something different. This can be great but let's not pretend that these older mediums are as accurate. With digital there is also the endless possibility to edit as you see fit. Many are trying create film colours and effects because they love them but it does not occur to some that they are effectively existing in a world of nostalgia-driven, feel-good cosiness that isn't accurate. Is it just escapism from the immediacy of the often harsh world we live in?

    I could never go for such lenses, which do everything but nothing really well, just versatility. I like 1.2...1.4 for bokeh, for extra light, for sharpness, etc. The 70mm f2 is almost decent but it doesn't even compare to the 85mm 1.8. Plus zoom lenses are much more damaged, especially those without internal zoom. It collects dust, and all those moving elements inside break down much faster
