You do not have 100000+ subscribers because your audio and everything else is always perfect, but because you are an extremely likeable guy, you never pretend to be perfect, you are honest, you produce vids that are as informative as entertaining and because YOU ARE YOU ! 👍
Just gotta love this guy
Dedication to re-film the video same day! He's working hard for us, ladies and gents! The effort is not lost on me! So I see you have an Islander in. I love what Marc is doing over there! Incredible value watches. As for the 23mm f/2, I've never used it, but I've been using the OG 23mm on the X100 series for 5 years now. It gets a lot of criticism for essentially the same things that the "fujicron" 23mm f/2 does. However, I absolutely love the OG X100 series lens (and that will forever be a hill I will die on). Haha.
I've had the 23 f2 now for over 2.5 years as walk around lens. Made quite some great Fotos at f2 without problems. It's not a 16mm f1.4 style pseudo macro lens anyways, so really not sure why people are whining about that flaw so much?! Probably because posing oneself as critical creates an impression of intelligence :)
You know what's funny? I watched your lens review from few years back yesterday for fun and behold! The algorithm stars aligned ahaha
I sold the 23mm f/2 2 times and bought it again few months back. I think this time will be a keeper. Since I got the 16mm f/1.4 for close up shot, I no longer need the 23mm f/2 to do that! I guess I just love the focal length alot and the f/2 fits great with my Xpro bodies. Totally, too much fanboys defending this lens and said it is sharp even at close focusing distance, I just replied "I guess You haven't seen a sharp lens!"
There is a simple but pricey solution ... get the X100V ;)
I agree it's total BS when people say it's not for close up. I think the 23mm is a versatile focal length. Some people might use it for casual food photography and seeing their brunch food soft af won't look that appetising. Some like using it for their children portraits. Would love Fuji to come up with a refreshed 23mm f2 pancake lens that has the same optics as in Fuji X100V (so that I can control my GAS too 😂).
I don't watched this problematic video you said, but in my professional experience, you probably had phase issues. The people that can't hear you, probably were using mono devices, the people that can hear you are using stereo devices (but I bet with less volume that with a normal video). Hope I helped you.
Hi Omar, big fan from Costa Rica here. Woukd it make sense buying a 23 prime if you already have the kit lens? Regards
Love how you set up the background color and PC's wallpaper. Hillarious video as always, your stuffs make my day everytime.
The 23 f2 is a wonderful lens with a lovely filmic look to it's images. Way too much is made of its one weakness. If you also have the 35 f2 you got most bases covered. Great combo. Enjoy Omar!
This was my first lens after debating between your advice and another youtuber, and I absolutely love it! Glad you’re giving it a second chance
You are so funny when things happen around you (when mail attacks). Every video is just so fun to watch and always a surprise. Love the lighting in this video.
Tqqqq omar for putting extraaaaa effort ❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I followed your advice and got the 35mm f/2 - definitely the best choice. It stays on the camera most of the time. When I want to go wider, I simply use the 18-55mm zoom lens. Certainly not as portable, but manageable.
You don't look stressed for someone who is re-recording everything again. Commitment to the cause Omar! 👏👏👏
Have bought and sold the 23 f2 twice myself for similar issues you mentioned. When I had the itch mid year last year, I went the X100V path and have been quite happy. :D. Not the best solution for pocketbook, but opened up a new world for me.
Omar there hasn't been a single video you have posted that hasn't made me literally laugh out loud. thanks for always providing gear insight on just about every Fuji topic / gear question that's popped into my mind. Keep shining you silly bastard
Just watched this video for the second time today Omar, you convinced me to finally pull the trigger and buy this lens for my X-E3 for travel and street photography. Your videos are always very informative and I really appreciate your real world experience.
