Fuji GF 110 f/2.0 Review - Beauty from this BEAST!
Come back Darren, we miss you.
Nonsense, an aperture 1.25 is 1.25 what so ever !!! noob.
got mine used at Adorama for 1396 in excellent condition rating. very happy and cant wait to take it out!
I guess the main takeaway is how can a photo be used? Good vs bad. What if he just let the girl keep her hijab on? I wonder.
Goes to show that in the right hands, you can take great photos with wide angle lenses too.
Sono passato da Nikon Z8 a ZF e sono soddisfatto in tutto. Grazie Nikon per questa fotocamera fantastica in tutto e grazie a te per i tuoi commenti e video Bravo, Complimenti dall'Italia
It’s 2024 and recently purchased my lens. I’m loving my 10-18mm and am realizing how I missed so many great shots not having this super wide angle lens in my kit.
there seems to be different versions... which one to get?! CS, AS, DS, UMS aghh?!
great video for being 8 years old!
Hi Darren, i agree with you. The ability to shoot beyond 30s without using bulb mode and a shutter release cable is aussome. There is only a small drawback, and this is the fact that beyond 30s you only can choose predefined steps of time increase like 30s, 60s, 90s, ... and you can not choose something like 34s or 51s. This is especial important when you are shooting long exposure with ND filters.
Nicht zu vergessen, dass auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt Zeiss-Objektive wesentlich günstiger angeboten werden. Hier sollte erwähnt werden, dass es die typischen, beinahe magischen Zeiss-Farben sind, die begeistern, da kommt auf jeden Fall Sigma nicht heran! Wenn Sie es breiter bzw. weiter haben möchten, empfehle ich die Kombination mit einem Voigtländer 10 oder 15mm, diese beiden sind sehr leicht und für Landschaftsfotografen ist eine Lichtstärke von f/5,6 ausreichend. Mehr Lichtstärke hat einen größeren Preis und ein höheres Gewicht zur Folge.
Still got my D5 and use it with lens in low light and is a beast. Performs better than using my Z9 or Z8 in low light. 🤷🏻♂️
I am 8 years late 😀excellent review and delivery, I am getting mine tomorrow for my R10
Specifics, please, on the specs (distances) of the Focus Limiter settings, Full/ Manual. Thank you!
Hmm ... in Europe that lens is 579 Euros after taxes. Put 170 on that and you can get a Sigma Art 85/1.4 used already ...
Funny ... just stumpled upon your Channel via the Profoto vs Godox video. Seen that it is 3 years old and asked myself if you still make videos. And just found this video a month after its release! Keep going - and yes, there is a demographic who doesn't need the same lens review over and over but professional targeted topics, lessons and/or thought discussions.
Enjoyed this video! Really wanting to add this lens to my primes collection! Sony 24mm 1.4 GM Sony 35mm 1.4 GM Sony 50mm 1.2 GM Sigma 85mm 1.4 DG DN Art Samyang 135mm 1.8
We can lip read...
Weddings and events my bag is a mix of OM/Olympus and Nikon. M4/3 is far from dead, in fact with Adobe AI, it opens up many possibilities.
Image quality is still an issue (noise, dynamic range, color, bokeh).
For those that talk down about sensor size, pixel count or brands other than Nikon, Canon or Sony, fail to understand that what makes digital photography great today is the selection of cameras and glass from all the different camera manufacturers. I just returned from a vacation to Aruba, I packed a Panasonic G9 and a Olympus OMD EM5 with a variety of glass, the camera I used the most was the Em5 ,the main lens 12-100 f4 and a few primes mostly the Panasonic 9mm f1.7 and 15mm. The package was small and I had the camera with one lens with me at dinner on Eagle beach or on the Palm pleasure, a 80 foot catamaran sail boat, out on a sunset Sail. I had it poolside and at one of the hot tubs with a back drop of rocks and red flowers I took a beautiful photo of my wife relaxing in the water with the flowers and rocks as my back drop. I have used a variety of 4/3 cameras in many situations like this over the years and the compact nature of the system shines through, when I travel on vacation all my big full frame cameras and glass stay home.
The new Lumix cameras have now a competitve AF but they also pulled away with stabilization in video from everything else. They are somehow doing something like Action-cam e-stabilization on top of the already great IBIS. This works on the G9-II and now GH7 in M43 but it also works on the S5-II and S9 in FF. A gimbal is still better, especially if you do controlled pan moves but if you walk, run or need the moving camera in positions where the gimbal don't fit, it's very helpful. In M43 it is also possible to film in slow motion like 4k120p, 5.7k60p or Open Gate (the full 25MP in 4:3) that allows to slow down shake or reframe/stabilize in post.
The GH7 should have been the GH6 of 2 years ago. The GH7 is a good camera but lack of ambition, Lumix should have provide some groundbreaking stuff to maka it the king of video.
I got rid of my Nikon full frame gear last year and invested in a Panasonic G9 and Olympus Em-5 III with some mixed primes and zooms. And I love it. I know that the G9 is from 2017, but with the updates that have been added I really don't see myself needing more than this camera as it is. I'm not professional or anything, though I do use it to shoot portraits and headshots for my work (not what I'm hired from), and it works great. I get that there are some who need the newest new and the craziest specs, but I think that for most of us, 95% of photographers, we don't really need what is being pushed on the market right now. Nor do we need full frame. The more I've been doing photography, the more I'm attracted to and appreciating the smaller form factor of MFT. Sure. the largest cameras are the same size as the ordinary full frame cameras, but the lenses are still small, particularly the zooms. Take a look at Sigma's new zoom lens, what is it, 28-45mm. That thing is huge. Larger than two primes of 28mm and 45mm. It just doesn't make sense to me. Is MFT dead? Not to me, and apparently not to Panasonic either. In another five years I'll probably update to a G9 II.
Thank you for calling yourself out. I appreciate your honesty.
Why dead?Less than a year ago the G9m2 was released with fhase detect AF. I own this camera ,and it's just great.Great results, advanced features and the outofocus is finally excellent. G9M2 is photocentric .Thr GH7 is videocentric camera.
Because dumbass titles get views. It's just good business.
I suspect that orders have dropped because many people don't think the Olympus looks like a professional camera. Everyone thinks that full-frame and larger is the right thing. It's a shame. But I'll stick with my MFT equipment.
Why not?, I can't blame you. I love Olympus and have bought many of their products. From audio recorders, printers, and cameras. M43 was only dead if you are one of those people that follows the hype online. The technology becomes older, but that doesn't mean you can't use the camera. Keep shooting with whatever you desire.
I am all in on canon and have been for 20yrys, but....I had a GH5 7yrs ago and now the GH7 might be a good companion to my R6 II and R7.
Finally phase auto focus. I’m a buyer. by the way, I bought my Olympus Pro zooms from watching your videos. I have them all except the big long dog at the top of that series.
Finally phase auto focus. I’m a buyer.
Excellent decision.
I have tried this lens on Fujifilm. It is equivalent of 85mm on a full frame. I have tried a few full frame 85mm lenses. This is the best for this focal length.
I'll will be fit on canon 700d?
Does it still hold its own currently against the new Z mount S version?
Where in SW Florida?
I like this
I got a good deal on a used one on ebay, and used it for a wedding and a few portrait shoots, but honestly, I got better results with th 50mm f2 macro lens. The 35-100 let in too much light most of the time, so I would stop it down to f2.8. Focal length didn't fit for me. So, I went with the 50-200mm. The 35-100 was heavy and bulky too, impressive looking, but again, I felt like I got better results with the macro lens and it was so much lighter.
Def new photographers get hung up about gear. Ive been using my Sony a7rIII going on 6 years. And the photos are so very different. Composinh, lighting/light shaping, and distance along with just understand how to edit in post along with trying to get it right in camera as much as possible comes with time.
I think the z8 would solve all the things you don’t like
Great Idea, looking forward to your new contents
Look forward to your new direction... from Sunny SW Florida! ;)
Always great to see you and hear your comparative point of view. Glad you are still sharing your knowledge with the time and dedication it takes to make these videos. Let me put a bug in your ear about future videos about gear: NOT A GEAR REVIEW in the typical sense. Yes, other people have done this, but your personal take and type of work you do would be extremely useful to a lot of people that do not have the budgets of Lindsey Adler, Karl Taylor, or Jerry Ghionis. In a series of videos (separate series of videos on portraits, landscapes, weddings etc), you could cover which lens or types of lenses (primes vs zooms) you prefer and why, what focal lengths you find most useful for your style, what focus modes you find most helpful, and what strobes, stands, modifiers you found particularly helpful and why. The focus could be your decision making on what stand to take with you and why. You get the idea. Your viewpoint is always appreciated, and often on CZcams, there is a practical side missing. Important points like not cheaping out on stands or what kind of stands for what that you find helpful would be appreciated. Thanks as always - and appreciate your efforts. One last thing: Purchased my first strobe system 4 months ago (Godox) on sale and price and convenience was definitely an issues. I just find it amazing that I can shoot one shot in TTL, and then through the transmitter, dump the settings and go to manual mode if I desire - without going to look or touch the light itself. How cool is that? Haven't faced the overheating issue yet (because it's been winter here in Texas), but I will definitely watch for this.
Great video Darren. I would to see more videos like this one.
Good informative video. Your comparison is with the B1/B1x series, which is pretty old. What about a comparison with B10/B10X or B10 Plus/B10X Plus?
I think you just gave me a comparison for the next video… I’d like to compare high-speed sync on the B10 X plus versus the AD 300 pro…
@@DarrenMiles glad I could help 🙂📷
Long time fan and follower here…great to see you back Darren!! Swifty level excitement 😂
Hah! Thank you!
Okay I’m rewatching this now and I just wanna complain with you about the bad lens caps. Most of my modern lenses have terrible lens caps! I recently got an old Pentax 645 macro lens that has a lens cap with much smaller tabs (harder to accidentally press) and a lip around the outside edges that keeps it in place as well! They figured out lens caps in the olden days, but somehow forgot!
Zeiss, Sonnar, 50mm, F1.5
There’s enough gear review channels, good change of direction plan.
Switched to Flashpoint a couple of years ago. Happy with them.
