Filmed on FUJIFILM X-T3 camera and Fujinon lenses. Thank you Fujifilm Nordic.
Audio recorded using Sennheiser equipment. Thank you Sennheiser Danmark.
Another one of your vids that educate and enthuse me in equal measure. Thanks very much!
Awesome, thank you so so much!!!!
Amazing lens, and even more amazing photography!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Thanks for the great video and the image examples!
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
That was awesome Flemming. I learnt a lot about Wide Angle from this Video . You did a great job in distinguishing the key element; intimacy, right in the action. That 16mm is on my list as you know. The F2.8 is good and I am using my little “Fella”. Thank you sir for that great video. 👊🏾
Thank you so much Mike! I really appreciate your comments, and thanks for watching my little TV shows :)
Insane package of information and talent on your video. I’m a new sub! Have a good day.
Thank you so much! Glad you like the video.
Awesome photos! Fujinon 10-24mm F4 second version is the best: constant F4 throughout the focal range, Weather Resistant, Optical Image Stabilization, and is the go to of some of respected pros yet vastly overlooked.
Thank you! Yeah the 10-24mm is great, but at F4 it is not ideal for concert photography, I need at least F2.8 to shoot in the dark.
Great vid with fascinating content some very cool images. Thanks
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
Just happened upon this video by chance. I think many of the photos shown in this video are perfect examples of why ISO / noise etc does not really matter when the shot is great to begin with.
Really loved a number of your photos, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so so much, that really means a lot to me. I am old enough to have shot on film, and for me, high ISO grain on the Fujis just remind me of film, and I love that texture, that organic feel. I dislike the clean digital look that the internet has kinda taught people is how pictures are supposed to look. I will intentionally shoot at high iso to get that organic feel. I am glad you like my pictures, thank you so much!
@@FlemmingBoJensen Well said, you are an artist, love your work !
@@truchotpierre8070 Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your four favorite wide-angle lenses. Here are the wide-angles I use:
23mm f/1.4 Fujinon (first lens I purchased for my Fuji mirrorless) (my personal favorite wide-angle prime lens)
23mm f/2 Fujinon (lens came with an X-Pro2 graphite body I purchased)
16mm f/1.4 Fujinon (second wide-angle lens I purchased for my Fuji mirrorless)
12mm f/2.8 Zeiss Touit (love to use this with my 16-55mm zoom)
12mm f/2 Rokinon (third wide-angle lens I purchased for my Fuji mirrorless) (love to use this with my fast prime lenses)
8mm f/2.8 Rokinon fisheye (love to use this for its special effect)
16-55mm f/2.8 Fujinon (use as backup for my prime lenses)
Wow that is a great collection!
very balanced and to-the-point review.
Thank you!
you are an amazing photographer ... no doubt about it...
Thank you so much, thanks for watching!
Those photos are just spectacular! Do you have any favorite settings and shooting modes when you are shooting?
Also, have you ever considered using the Fuji 18mm f 2.8?
Thank you! My other videos do have a bit of information on settings and how I shoot, I think particularly the 'My Fujifilm Gear' video. I do own the 18mm F2, bought it in March 2012! It's a fine wideangle, but the 16mm F1.4 is so much better for concert photography. But hey, if you have the 18mm F2, totally go ahead and use it!
niiiice photos, makes me want to photograph concerts
Thank you!
Great video, to this day. You've convinced me I need to get the 16 1.4. My go-to right now is the Viltrox 23 1.4, and I used to carry a 7.5mm fisheye with me for those big shots but I recently got the Laowa 9mm Zero Distortion and it's amazing. The FOV of a fisheye but without all the barrel distortion.
Thank you, glad you like the video! As much as I love the 16mm 1.4 I have to say that it is starting to show it's age. On the X-T5, the 16mm doesn't quite resolve to 40megapixel + the autofocus is super slow compared to newer faster lenses on the X-T5. Still an awesome lens though.
@@FlemmingBoJensen Well I'm still on an X-T3 and X-T30 so no worries there. After watching your videos on shooting with the GFX I spent a bit of time checking the sales values of my major organs. Alas, I don't think one of those is in my budget for now. Maybe someday.
haha I also would need to sell a kidney or two to afford a GFX - I just borrow one occasionally for the big big shows, cannot afford one myself :)
That 16 1.4 looks so worn, sooo good to see, that’s the way a lens should look! I wish I used mine that much. Good video.
Thank you! Yeah that 16mm has been around the world a few times and at 500 concerts or so!
Hello sir subject looks tiny in 16mm lens
Is it necessary to shoot closely to the subject
Hi! Great video. You really know your stuff. Do you know if there is a wide angle lens adapter for the fujifilm x series? And which is the best value? Thanks
Thank you so much! I am not sure what you mean by wide angle adapter? What lens do you wish to adapt and on which camera?
Gloxy Wide Angle lens 0.5x for Fujifilm X-A10
Great photos!
Thank you so much!!!!
The Samyang 8mm is really fun!
Yeah, it is a crazy lens :)
Thanks for the video. Love your shots. Glad I came across your channel.
That 16mm was the first lens I picked up for my Fuji. I absolutely adore it. The images it produces are almost magical. Plus, you can almost stick the front element on your subject, and it will focus and take the shot. Amazing. The mechanism they used to switch from manual to autofocus is so intuitive. Pull the focus ring, manual. Push focus ring, auto. I recommend this lens to anyone in the Fuji system. Even if you think it's not your focal length of choice, try one out.
That little 23mm f2 is another great little lens. So small. So light. So well built. Every time I think about upgrading it to a larger aperture version, I look at the images it produced and the desire goes away. It always surprises me how good it is.
Thank you so much, glad you like my pictures and my channel! I see we agree totally, the 16mm is just awesome, and the 23mm F2 is such a great supplement lens :)
Hvorfor har jeg ikke fundet din kanal tidligere? En kæmpe fejl, som der heldigvis er rettet op på nu.
Tak for at dele dine tanker. Jeg har 16mm objektivet som nummer 2 på min liste. Er ellers primært til manual fokus, men har efterhånden hørt så meget godt om det, at jeg bliver nødt til at få fat på det 🙂
Hej og fedt at du fandt min kanal :) 16mm F1.4 er bare et must-have, efter min mening det absolut bedste Fujinon objektiv!
I really like my 14mm f2.8, razor sharp and with great rendering.
Yeah it is really nice too! I just much prefer the 16mm F1.4 as I really require the F1.4 aperture at concerts.
@@FlemmingBoJensen Yes, agree. The 14mm is just so tiny in comparison :-) But more a landscape lens.
Absolutely agree with you ..... but you don’t talk about the 10-24 F4, you don’t like it ? 👍
I have never used it, I am sure it is awesome but it is only F4 and that just will not work at concerts, I need F2.8 or more!
Would you say the Fujifilm 10-24mm f4 is not bright enough for your kind of work shooting concerts in darker environments?
Yeah, for me F4 is just nowhere near bright enough. 2.8 I can usually get away with but at the dark electronic concerts and night clubs I need 1.4.
@@FlemmingBoJensen Thank you for your input. Do you use any sort of on camera flash or is it all just available lighting?
@@mariusmocan8491 100% available lighting, you are never ever allowed to use a flash at concerts - nor would I want to anyway, it would totally ruin the awesome lights at concerts.
Hello sir I want to buy one lens among 16mm and 23mm
Kindly suggest which one should I buy first
I already have 56mm lens
Hi. I can't decide this for you, it would depend entirely on whether you want to shoot very wide with the 16mm or like a bit more of a medium wide at 23mm - it is really up to your taste, both are great lenses.
@@FlemmingBoJensen
Hello sir I want to shoot photos inside the room like birthday photos as well as party photo And also outside photography like traveling.
I have a 15 45 mm zoom fuji lens
I tried with that lens , at widest 15mm lens but the subject appears tiny.
Is it compulsory to shoot with 16mm prime lens with close to the subject.
man what about the Rokinon 12mm F2???
It is very nice, but it is not one of my favourites. I also have tested and like the Zeiss 12mm, but 12mm is just too extreme of a focal length for my taste, too distorted. The downside of APS-C sensor is we need those super extreme wide focal lengths due to the crop factor.
Zeiss 12mm 2.8 for me. YMMV.
Yeah it is great!
Fine, I'll keep my Fuji 23mm f2, I swear I'll give it a chance.
Well. You don't have to like the 23 :) There is a whole huge range of Fujifilm wideangle lenses, use whichever you like!
@@FlemmingBoJensen I was joking a bit, I like that it's compact but I find it lacks bite. I want compact for street but I love character over sharpness, but and the said (magical)1.4 is much bigger. Love your pics BTW
@@Mr7Poz haha ok yes I totally know what you mean by that :) The 23mm F2 is nice and compact and great but also a bit too perfect, a bit blah. Lacks character, lacks some nice flaws and a 'look' ! and thank you!
