  • The Voigtlander 35mm f0.9 was Fuji's fastest 50mm equivalent in the 20's, and it did not disappoint. It might just be the best 35mm lens for the Fujifilm X-mount.

Since I am exactly into this kind of thing, i enjoy watching these clips and i really admire the cinematic skills and effort to make them. I mean, this guy simply wants to present a lens and creates a short film with an unique look that could easily run in a movie theater. The quality of this channel is absolutely outstanding!

      Yeah I'd like to see that as well. The 27 has tempted me as a small travel option. I've thought about the native Fuji 27 option but in borrowing lens I found the auto focus clunky at best. A manual option might be the way to go, especially since half my shooting is film on Minolta Rokkors at this point; would feel pretty natural.

    This Nokton seems very interesting thanks to the electronic contacts.
    I really love my Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm .95 on my XPRO3, but the build quality is not the best. I had to disassemble it to tighten it because it was wabbling.
    By the way even on the fully manual Speedmaster I can zone focus, or manually focus and use focus peaking, and even zoom on the focus area whether in evf mode or hybrid evf. You just have to set up the xpro3 settings right, set it to manual (front dial) and set up the zoom shortcut. It works like a charm on any manual lens.

    I love your work, a video on the original X pro 1 with your perspective should be pretty interesting

    Hey I’m interested in buying your Lightroom presets to use with my Fuji xh2, what in camera settings work best with most of your preset packs to get the similar look of your photos?

    wait, dumb question, but I have the fuji 35mm on an xpro and it also has focus / aperture rings - doesn't it also communicate with the body? maybe I'm misunderstanding the difference here (besides the glass specs)

      The difference is that this lens is manual focus only, no auto focus.

    I don't know cameras, I'm just here for the relaxing, cool video.
