People who borrow my camera always ask me how to zoom :(
They desperately rotate aperture ring and the picture gets brighter/darker lol
I zoom anytime I want. I don't need a camera.🙃😆
Lol yep "walk towards me" > blank stare
I love to leave my camera out for anyone to play with at family or friends events;
So if having a zoom will let them take the picture they want, I'm glad to let the zoom on!
But if it's poorly lit, and the zoom would make noisy pictures, then I let the 35mm with speed priority and I'm sure they'll won't just take noisy / blurry photos.
Don't let anyone use your camera!
After shooting with the 35mm or any 50mm full frame equivalent for many years I find that I got bored with it and so I decided to use the 23mm instead! It's been a blast. Basically a new challenge. You are right though, my best images often come from primes rather than zooms as well.
The Fuji F2 lenses are awesome and they really shine in Black and White photography.
35mmf2 is my first prime after the kit lens. fun little lens. definitely worth having both.
pretty sure the rattling noise from shaking the zoom lens when not attached to the camera is from the OIS system, not because of build quality or zoom elements etc.
I came here to say this, All my OIS lenses have that same noise... even the 50-140mm @ 2k$... so I doubt the noise comes from cheaper built lenses haha
yeah he just a big noob that makes video about stuff he have no clue.
@@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ye i just realized that haha. What a knob
actually the only benefit of the zoom lens apart from ease of adjusting focal length is that it's much more silent compared to fuji 35mm. But that doesn't count in photography anyways.
@@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat except he takes awesome photos unlike the gearheads...so I prefer to watch him.
Definitely both. As you say they can serve different purposes or the same purpose. I love the 35mm. Lives on my camera more than any other lens but I would not get rid of the 18-55 for exactly the reasons you stated. Great vid Omar!
I have both of these and I completely agree with you that I'm just a better photographer when using the prime! I LOVE how small the 35mm f2 is - it's also my favorite street length lens.
Totally agree with all this. I’ve got both and I’d be happy with just the 35. It’s great. Primes are best.
I have both. They are both great lenses. I enjoy the 35mm f/2 and try to default to it. It's faster, lighter and a fixed focal length forces you to work your composition more.
Tried the 35 mm f/1.4 ... wow! Loved the close focus ability and shallower depth of field.
I got myself a used xe-2 for a carry around and a fully manual 7artisans 25mm F/1.8 and I'm still blown away by this lens's sharpness wide open! the focus peaking and split image (love that since I used to do film photography with my Canon A-1) are a god send when using manual lenses; something even my Canon 5DMark3 doesn't have! Slows me down a lot, which to me is good and bad in different scenarios but for what I paid ($112 here in Singapore) this lens is an AMAZING performer! Flaring is almost non-existent and the 12 blade, de-clicked aperture ring is so smooth and sexy to turn! Definitely want an 18-55mm or when I can afford it, MAYBE the 16-80mm (although its probably gonna be a weighty boy to carry).
This was similar to my lens combo for years when I had a Nikon D70s and then a D300s (16-85 and r
the 35f2). Same experience with them outcomes as well - I got way better shots with the 35 f2. Definitely going to add the Fuji 35 to the kit lens.
As always! A pleasure to watch!!
I have both and I would recommend to have the 18-55mm if you’re into landscape. 35mm works well too, but, I’m constantly having problem whenever I want wider shots. I can move backwards to have wider shot with my 35mm but that also has limits. And if you’re into portraits and street, I recommend the 35mm.
You always do a great job combining various elements...practical, technical, fun, artistic. Plus your humor! Nice job & thanks.
Thanks so much!
Cool review, man, thanks! After I got addicted to my X100 I decided that 'one camera one lens' is definitely the best concept for me so my 35mm f2 is stuck on my X-pro1 and I've got all I need
18-55mm, no contest. It’s such a phenomenal lens. 35mm f2 is great too but far more limiting.
Limitations are the catalyst for creativity
@@cosmogang So just buy an Iphone
@@Barrezvouscassezvous Those ohones slip through my fingers. Then I'm really limited.
Maybe that's maximising my creativity? 😬
@@Barrezvouscassezvous HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@Barrezvouscassezvous OOOOOOOOOOHH HHAHAHAHAHAHAHH EPIC WIN !
When to expect the Omar Gonzales comedy show ? You make me smile soo easily !
I have both and I use my 35 most of the time but I will be honest, I was selling the 18-55 short fo like the first 6 months I had it. It really is a fantastic lens, especially for being a kit lens. The OIS is just plain ridiculous. I was able to get sharp images down to 1/4 of a second! It's got the rugged build (Idk, my lens doesn't rattle like yours). On the contrary, I shoot a lot of landscapes and having the insurance of a weatherproof lens when I'm in inclement weather is big. I also like that it's smaller and lighter than the 18-55. Hiking with the f/2 series lenses (I also own the 23mm) is a dream. Everything fits into my hiking bag with lots of room to spare. Also, since it's small and inconspicuous, the 35 makes for a great street photography lens as well. I guess I would have to choose the 35 over the 18-55. Lighter, smaller, better image quality, lower aperture, and is weather sealed
Do you use the 35mm when you go hiking?
@@sinclairgonsalves1418 yeah. It has a very usable 50mm field of view (full frame equivalent)
Nice job giving a practical review of the lenses without the snob factor! It's always about what works for the user. Case in point: the old Nikkor 43~86 mm short zoom. Incredibly convenient lens, used to take so many iconic pictures from the sixties and seventies but not really up to snuff, optically speaking. What makes a great photograph is not the camera or lens used, it's that it was shot at the right moment!
You nailed it when you say that a Prime lens makes you think more about composition and subject matter. I love small lenses too-the pancake lenses are very appealing. Great videos, always a pleasure to watch, and you help others see that photography can be fun and enjoyable using these fixed focal length lenses! Zoom lenses are useful, but have made me lazy for so long and never really given me any satisfaction!! I prefer the compactness, quality and creativity factor you get from a Prime lens and the little extra effort to get much more pleasing photos is always worth it!
Finally a lens review that looks at results in the real world and makes no forced choice! Thanks - nice relaxed approach and sensible!
Really nice to get a non-technical review. Especially that the way you shoot and thus your scene differs between the lenses is something that I didn't really think about before.
The shaking sound is the optical image stabilisation. Perfectly normal (and REALLY USEFUL)
Damn...now I broke it.
Sadly all the better fuji prime lenses don't have OIS. Zooms are just too slow.
Great video as per usual! I have both and I only use the 35mm in low light situations. The 35mm is so much slower at focusing than the 18-55mm.
The only 2 Fuji lenses I own with the XT20. Got it all because of you. Big fan of your channel.
Always I enjoy your shows Omar! I learn, I laugh. Keep on doing you're great work! Happy 2021 to you too! Greetings from the Netherlands!
New to photography and bought the x-t20 because of your review's I love the camera and your ongoing video's help make using the camera an absolute joy keep up the enthusiasm and thanks
Have both and I use each for the same reasons that you said. It's more fun to shoot with the 35mm f2 as I feel that I work for the shots harder. I was able to go to a 2 and a half week trip while exclusively using the 35mm f2 only; it was fine. I went back to using a zoom because of the versatility; had to upgrade from 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 to 18-55mm f2.8-4 for better image quality and the image stabilization, it's definitely worth it. If I'll only have to bring one: the safer choice will be the 18-55mm but since the 35mm f2 is small, I'll just carry it with me.
Loved this. And, of course, always get the prime 😊
thanks man just discovered the channel and LOVE the 'non-technical' review style.. super refreshing and helped a lot
For travel, 18-55 hands down although I always bring along my 35mm 1.4 attached to my old X-E1 as "back-up". The 35 1.4 seems to perform better with the earlier X-trans sensors. But that's just me
I have both and I think that's the way to go, but if I HAD to pick one, 35 f2. It's attached to my camera 85% of the time. When I do portraiture I reach for the 56, and the 18-55 has been really good for events/ reportage style stuff.
I was just thinking about this last night! I asked myself what would the pros and cons of having a 35mm! it’s like you were in my head!
How funny, I was shooting on my 18-55mm last night at 35mm to see if it's a lens I wanted to pick up! Hopefully I'll grab one soon, love the focal length.
As always, this video is informative, funny and honest. I'm fairly new to photography and I appreciate your videos and commentary so much.
Excellent video with nice sence of humor! You made my day, man! Thank you for positive and helpful content!
Depends so much on where I'm going and what I'm doing. But I only use that kit zoom for video, and the ois is fantastic
I love the 50mm equivalent because I started out on a Pentax K1000 and Leica M3 with a 50mm 2.0 lens. The cameras were compact and easy to use, 'though the M3 was a little slower with the outboard metering and focus method. When I moved to Nikon, ... I got my first zoom and at first I was working the wide 28mm and tele 85mm ends (3.5-4.5), but soon enough I started recognizing the perspectives of focal lengths. It wasn't long before I was zooming in an out with my feet, but choosing a wide, normal, or tele setting for the perspective. I did worry about image quality so I read up on the zoom lens and made decisions based on the lens quality at a certain aperture and focal length. Sometimes, you sacrifice lens performance for the sake of getting the perspective and composition that you want - to me, ... those components trump sharpness. My photo journey carried on and I have a selection of zoom and prime lens. I use a Fuji x100t and enjoy it because it does remind me of the days when I lugged around a camera with a relatively fast 50mm lens. Of course, you can be lazy with a zoom lens, but if you are thinking photographically, ... a good quality zoom gives you options to capture images effectively and efficiently. If you have time to work scenes, ... then a fixed lens may make you work more to get your photograph. However, if you have only your zoom lens, ... and you see a great photograph, ... there's nothing keeping you from treating that zoom as a fixed lens. The other big consideration is speed of the lens. The improved high ISO performance of digital cameras doesn't make this quite as important, though. If I'm shooting a club scene, or night shots with no flash, ... I want that prime's larger aperture, preferable a 1.4. With image stabilization on many zooms, you can get away with some hand-holding but it won't help with subject movement. Distortion and depth of field are also considerations that must be taken into account. Omar, ... you like those blurred out backgrounds to separate figure-ground. I love that also, for portraits and for some scenes where I want my subject to pop out of a busy background. Using blurred backgrounds in a great tool for managing backgrounds that are fighting for attention. You can also use color and light patterns of completely blurred out backgrounds to draw attention to your subject. Anyway, ... I will usually have a zoom on my camera and carry a number of fixed lenses for specific purposes. And, ... of course, my little x100t is along for the ride, reminiscent of the days when I carried my Pentax K1000 everywhere!
The one I use almost all the time is the 23mm (35mm equivalent). The other two would be the wide angle for landscapes or tight spaces and the tele zoom for sports and wildlife. I'd say get the prime for starters and go from there . . . but get both if you can.
I have both but, the hypothetical, "Desert Island" scenario where I could only have 1, the18-55 hands down. It's just so damned versatile.
S Tra Humm....I ‘ve been making a living at taking photos for 30+ years, I think I know a versatile lens when I use one.
S Tra some canon L lenses and nikons are f/4. Versatility is not just “bokeh”. That’s what the other youtube photographers and new breed photographers keep on selling.
@@cameraman655 lol oops
Back in 2017 when I switched to Fuji I bought a Xpro1 with the 18-55. The lens is stellar, by far the best zoom I ever had. After some time I got amazed by shooting with primes and as the 18-55 was collecting dust I gave it along with my XM1 to my mom, hadn't had the guts to sell it...
Completely agree. I find myself using the kit lens more due to more video use lately.
I appreciate you so much. You are honest, relatable, humorous and share great info. I have both. My Fuji xT3 is my fun, travel kiddo school events camera. Love the fixed WAY MORE, but I'm limited when space is an issue. Not a fan of a 4.0 aperture or anything that has an aperture that changes. Your assessment is SO real. You can't pick one. Depends on what you shoot. For me it is space. At 50mm.....I can't get the shot sometimes...50mm is not wide enough.
AGREED....50mm is my favorite way to shoot but it can't do everything, especially when traveling somewhere new. Thanks for watching!
When not using my 100-400mm for birds and such, I find myself mostly with either the 27mmF2.8 or 23mmF2 as the default lens on my X-T20 just because they emphasize the reason I switched to Fuji: something that's easy to carry and unobtrusive. Also, I very rarely shoot video, so stabilization is seldom an issue. If I can't zoom with my feet, I can always crop in LightRoom. :)
I had the exact same dilemma. Just recently got the X-T20 with a 35mm lens. I was going for the bokeh, but the size was also a factor. I was already used to shooting 50mm on my compact analog, so no zoom was no biggie.
We need more videos like this in which you compare the lens with 18-55 at that zoom level
I had the 35 a while and always used it as my go to, but was often frustrated that I didnt have the range and had missed shots - I moved to the X system from an X100 for the same reason! So I bought the 18-55 and have almost never taken it off since! That said, I shoot Nikon for work and the X-T20 tends to be a home day, no fuss carry around camera so that combo works
Traveling only with the 35f2 (+ a Samyang 12f2, for astro...). My 35 is on my xt2 most of the time, it does everything!! :)
Yes, I have the same 35\2 & 12\2. The optimal
hi Omar, thank you for the fujifilm videos, i bought an xt20 after watching lots of reviews, yours included. I'm a beginner, again! finally took an online photography course and learned basics. I really enjoy your review style, the most. upbeat and to the point, show lots of photo examples. really helps us! im also watching your xt20 playlist!
I have a problem of sleep purchasing at 3am and literally purchased both the night before I saw this video. So glad you said answer was both.
" ~ most of online, small prints, I think any of lenses and all most of any camera systems are gonna be fine."
and that's the truth.
Had 35mm first, then realized I need a wide lens for photos and a stabilizer for videos, so the choice was obvious - bought 18-55. Both are good. 35mm is pure magic, 18-55 definitely more practical. Thanks for the video!
Heyy mate ,do you have any suggestions on which one should I get as my first lens ?35mm or the 18 to 55 ? I won't do videography, only stills
sourav rahman definitely 35mm. In terms of image quality, but also build quality and overall emotions - without a doubt it’s way ahead the competition. I use it 95% of the time with stills. You won’t regret it!
@@feeshka Thanks man . I'm buying the fuji xt20 tomorrow with the 35mm f2
Thanks for sharing, very helpful.. I'm gonna looking for the new fuji gear..
I'm as decisive as you are. I have both.... and the 16mm f2.8 and the 50mm f2. Primes for photos and zoom for video. Best thing about this lineup is that I have one on my X-T3 and carry the other 3 in a really small bag. BTW, your videos are awesome.
Nice Seiko Alpinist! You must be a watch nerd to have one of those.
And I agree, both lenses are worth having. I find I like the 18-55 for general photography, family or travel, but love the 35mm when trying to do "arty" photography. I find I end up with tighter, cleaner compositions when I use it as it forces me to think about what to include and exclude from my frame. With the zoom, it's too easy to just zoom out and get it all in instead of picking out the strongest elements in a scene
Cheap watch nerd. 😉 Great lens use.
@@ogonzilla Anything more than a $10 Casio is a luxury ;-)
I totally agree with what you were saying about using a prime to grab better composition images. I also feel I try harder to take better shots if Im forced to position my body instead of zooming.
I've decided to buy the XT20 with 35 f2 prime and I'm loving it so far :)
Hey, are you still happy 4 years later ? I just got myself the XT20 and I wondered if the 35 f2 is a noisy lens when you focus ! Could you please tell me ?
@@jojoaugustus1383 I love the lens, I still use it quite often. I mainly do street photography so for me the noise of the focus is not a problem at all. I also own a 23mm f2 but I prefer the 35
@@petergombos9442 thanks for your fast answer. I was kinda torn between the 35mm 1.4 or 2. I now have an answer. Plus, the 35mm f/2 is WR and the AF is faster :)
Omar, you is the man! I have the 35mm f/2 and the super cheapo XC 16-50 kit lens. I much prefer primes in general, so the 35mm is the clear winner for me. The 16-50mm is just a decent kit lens, nothing earth shattering about it. The 35mm is one of my favorite lenses! And I shoot with a lot of vintage adapted glass, including Leica and Zeiss.
It's incredible for the price.
nice video, Omar. When I first got into photography 30 years ago my first lens purchase was a Vivatar Series 1 70-200 f2.8/4. Man, I loved that lens! I do a lot of live music
photography so obviously primes and fixed aperture zooms are better for that. These days I stay away from variable zoom lenses but they do have their place, especially for
those just getting into photography or for casual shooting.
Awesome video brother!!! Thanks so much for your time and expertise!!!
Love the humor in your videos! Remember to apply the crop factor to the aperture as well - this gives the prime an even bigger absolute advantage in terms of speed.
new fujifilm user here (Xt30), I enjoyed watching your videos, laughing and learning that's what I got, and I would say a very nice combo!
Nice comparison! I run 35f2 on xt2, 12mm samyang on xt1. Saving for 56mm.
We just started using the 35mm and we love it! Night and day over the kit lens.
Wonderful review, as usual very informative and a real pleasure to watch.
Me gusta el 18-55mm, me sorprendió lo bien q rinde.
Me gustan los lentes de 50mm pero éste y el Tokina 28-70mm f/2.8 me encantan. Cada uno tiene su encanto particular.
Liked the video and subscribed even though I haven't watched any other videos for now :)
thanks for the effort of explaining all the stuff!
Friends and parents show more enthusiasm for my photos if I'm using both the 18-55 and a prime (23 F2 in my case).
If we are moving I use the zoom, but if we stop and stay in a limited area for a while, I switch to the prime
I have the same lenses, and also the Samyang 12mm f2.0. I really like the 23 for street
For hobbyist photographers I would recommend the 18-35 or the 18-55 lens. I went on a photoshoot in downtown Chicago and the 18-35 Nikkor lens is a must have. The 18mm enables the photographer to get the wide pictures of buildings and city scapes.
Using XT20 + 18-55 + 55-230 and a 35 f/2... It's the sweet spot for a budget prime. 18-55 as the on camera kit, and 35 when you want to put in a bit more effort... totally worth its cost and effort though.. It's a joy to use
PS! Keep rocking the beard, dude! Looks great.
Thanks for using the metric system!
Fuk the metric system
@@jeremymoorer7033 lol yeah cos the developed world only uses it
@Thomas Grey I'm 187 cm tall. It's a great number. While most of the world agrees on making things easier when using metric, I can't see why sticking on std. should be wrong or more difficult. In 1991 I was desperately trying to purchase std. wrenches. To my surprise metric was EVERYWHERE. I finally found a Craftsman tool box in a warehouse. It was difficult to find it and it was more expensive.
@@jeremymoorer7033 Guess what ?! the whole camera & lens industry is based on metric system , when he was talking about the 35mm ... the MM is millimeter which is metric ,and the reason to use metric not because camera manufacturers like metric system but because it's more ACCURATE.
@@okamivolgan checkmate
Thinking of buying a second hand Fuji X-T100 and came across this video. It was a great find, really like how you break down technical aspects so it's clear for all to understand. The content is also top notch, really good. Look forward to watching more posts. ps. I'll probably stay with the kit lens for a while as the 35mm costs a lot. Hopefully a year from now I'll be able to do - family life is expensive man.
The 35mm f/2 has been glued to my camera all the time. So now I actually enjoy going back to my kit zoom lens every now and then even if it isn’t as sharp it’s still fun to use.
Clearly the 35mm F1.4
It is faster and one of the sharpest lenses made. It's imagery is magical and bokeh rocks.
And on the Fiji XT3 focus is fast, locks right on, no hunting and isverry accurate even wide open. The 35mm f1.4 focus is much improved with the XT3 compared to when I had it on my xt1
Love your presentation. My dilemma (if you can call it that) is I want a new tow. I have (love) the x-pro 1 and xe2, as well as the x100 (doesn't focus when using the optical viewfinder). I like both the x100v and the x-pro III and I am torn between them and now thanks to you, I am thinking of a new prime....
100V (IMO) is as close to a perfect camera as can be. A real street shooter. No changing lenses never any need to clean the sensor.
has the tilty screen and then there is the form factor and looks as well.
Pro III (IMO) use of my Nikon and Leica glass (better focus peaking) Has the tilty screen, love the look and weather seals.
Both cameras are technically superior to the older versions but, in the case of the Pro III I would be replacing the Pro I and that sensor is unmatched. I would LOVE to see photographs shot side by side, at the same settings, SOC to compare
sensors since I still feel the first gen was magical.
Would love feedback from any and all....
Great down-to-Earth review, thank you. Yes, it is with adding the cheap but not nasty f2 prime to my travel kit.
My reason to have prime lens is the large aperture. That is why I bought 35 mm f1.4
Clearly the 35mm F1.4
It is faster and one of the sharpest lenses made. It's imagery is magical and bokeh rocks.
And on the Fiji XT3 focus is fast, locks right on, no hunting and isverry accurate even wide open. The 35mm f1.4 focus is much improved with the XT3 compared to when I had it on my xt1
The same reasoning would apply to the 23 1.4 and I , personal preference for sure, is wider field of view.
Hey Omar, I've just landed into fuji world and I am happy. Thanks for sharing your vids.
I have had a Nikon Z50 for 18 months and love it, and my old lens with the adapter. I have one prime lens and it's a 50mm (75ish on my Z50). Very happy and settled I was until last Saturday when my son said ' do you want this, only used it once and if you don't take it I'll put it in the garage'. It is a Fuji X100 origenal. Hardly used. It has a prime 35mm equvilent. I really like it and it looks so nice. It sits on the dining room table for now, that way I can look at it last thing at night and first thing in the morning. I like the 35mm images as well, it's clear, sharp, and for me new. So, right now I prefer the 'new' old prime FujiX35mm. I can see it if I peer over the top of the laptop as I type this.
Wow, my previous question in another video got solved here, again thank you so much, Omar!! Love your humour :D
Great review! All my questions in mind was answered! Thanks! ❤️
Nice, honest and down to earth review. Cheers! Just bought the 35 f2, for my xt1 and now to get hold of a 23 f2 :-)
You nailed it. Intention. That’s the difference in your images.
All fixed for me. Love the 35 and 23.
Glad that I found your channel before choosing which one is good for me!
If I could only have one? The 18-55 for sure. It's hands down the best 'kit' lens I've ever used. It's the Swiss army lens. Doesn't do any one thing particularly amazingly but does everything well enough.
That said I just spent 3 days shooting with only the Fuji f/2 lenses but I was lucky enough to have the time to swap them as needed. For ease of use and making sure you get the shot, you can't beat the 18-55.
I use exactly those two lenses for my CZcams videos and I love both lenses!
I'm a bit more in love with those 35mm f2 close up shots but most of the time I use both lenses for one videos
@@wei.art.studio i also own both and I love the 35mm more. I think it gives sharper images. On the other hand if the object keeps moving ❨e.g. kids or pets) a zoom lens or wide angle lens are more suitable.
Nobody explained better than you, After every video I wacht, I love photography more. Best part of having fun is capturing toda, enJOYing tomorrow.
Another brilliant video. New to photography and learning so much, thank you. You’ve probably has this question a million times but I have a Fuji XE3 with a 50-230 and a 15-45 lens. What would you suggest would be the best lens to go alongside these. I do lots of travel and enjoy taking both landscape and shots of friends. Thanks again from rural Lincolnshire uk.
A 23 mm f 1.4 is glued to my X-Pro 2. I love it!
Hi my orange friend. The 35 f2 is superb and you need both. Perhaps not the 18-55 but the new 16-80. I have mine on pre order. I need 24 and 80. The standard zoom, although brilliant, is a bit soft at 55 and overall not a great range. Don’t enjoy 18mm, never liked 28 in the past on full frame. Always used 24 (16mm fuji). Just love the wider aspect.
Loving your presentation. Bit worried about your adulteress relationship with Sony and worried that we will get less videos from you as you spend days trying to change the colours to something related to real life. Keep up the most enjoyable channel on youtube. G
Excellent. I have that combo and I agree with everything you had to say.
your vids are joyful, your enthusiasm is contagious. i have been trolling fuji bodies for...years! and, of course, that means watching your vids for additional insightful information. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Nice comparison. Worth noting that weather resistance also helps protect against dust; useful in arid / desert areas.
I have both lenses, and they are the only ones that I have. I brought the 35f2 with me on vacation and left the kit lens at home. It’s my go to all the time, but the kit lens is terrific. I love the size of the 35f2 with my x-t30. It’s a small set up that is perfect for not looking like a news reporter 😂.
I have the 18-55 and thinking to get 35f2, but Im afraid to spend money on a focal I already cover with the zoom lens. What's your feedback? I really appreciate your opinion. Thanks
@@isaacsospedra3955 You will get more bokeh and light out of the 35f2 than the kit lens. I highly recommend the 35f2. It’s smaller, and it's fantastic for photography and b-roll video. The biggest con is it hunts a little bit for video. It’s not ideal for long video recordings where the person your filming is not static. I wouldn’t trust eye autofocus. Hopefully, Fuji will fix their Autofocus in a firmware update.
@@johnnydee7480 I appreciate your comment! Thanks !
16mm f2.8 & 35mm f2 - I settled on this combo. Great 👍 for story telling
Have XT20 and only these two lenses. 18-55 I pretty much just shoot wide. Thanks, mate.
Thanks for this video Exactly the 2 lenses I'm debating on. I'm not a pro but just want a fun lens so going with 35mm F2 and the 18-55mm just in case. The part about sharpness makes sense.
Good review and sense of humour! I actually enjoyed watching your video! 😂
