Just played around with the Sigma 18-50 f2.8. Also a good contender besides the ones mentioned in the video. But on topic, the xf 18-55 f2.8-4 would be my choiche. What a marvelous little lens. But consider the Sigma too. Especially if you own a camera with IBIS.

Can’t really say it’s a hidden feature, at least I don’t feel that secure as much as you do. I’m using the one with a loop just at the bottom of the notch. Intentionally designed for secure hold.

cool short bro you really gave us the info we were hoping for here. thanks for letting us know whether you like it or not instead of saying absolutely nothing.

Definitely the18-55. The new one is pretty crap.

I have 35mm f2 since day 1 and i am never parting with it. It's so good and small

I've read (and seen some examples) of some truly abhorrent barrel distortion in the RAWs from the 35mm f2. Apparently this is by design and they rely on software correction in the JPEGs as a cost saving measure. Is that something you've had to work around?

Great review! Especially together with a fuji. One thing tho: wanted to see how it all works with fuji and capture

??

The 90mm f2 is technically a fujicron, perhaps the first

Thank you. Short and sweet video, but very helpful.

16-50 now!

I find my sweet spot with 27mm. I own all fujicrons, but I never use them any more.

maybe Fujifilm could make XC version of another fujicron to compete with chinese-made low-cost lenses

Hi George! Thank you so much for this video. I am having a very difficult time making up my mind on whether to buy the XF18-55 or the XF16-80 kit lens for the XT-5, and your video has been very helpful. . I am a quite small person and I plan to use it mostly for travel/street photography. I wanted something light that wouldn't hold me back after 4-5 hours of walking. It seems like the XF 18-55 is a better choice. Which one would you recommend as the better option for video?

Interesting, I own both the 16-80mm and the 16-55mm f2.8, and the 16-55mm although heavier lives on my camera 80% of the one. I only go for the 16-80mm when it's going to be bright sunny day, and I need the extra reach plus the ibis comes handy. The new 16-50mm I don't quite see the point other than rendering 40mp, because it's expected to have no ibis making the 18-55mm the better utter and ibis lens for a much better price proposition.

I always want to get a Fuji camera but the market goes crazy after X100VI is more expensive than XT5 nowadays

Sweet

I've been dithering about getting the Peak Design or the Quad Lock mount and if Peak Design were to be the choice, which of the two mounts they offer should I get. This video, though it doesn't mention Quad Lock at all, cinched the deal for me: Peak Design and its universal mount it is. Many thanks.

Or wait for the new XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 and see what that’s like (if you have IBIS, I think it won’t have image stability)..

Did you get a grip holder/extender?

Thanks

I was searching so long to see if peak design had created a finger loop slim-link attachment! Video convinced me

Thanks for the video. Perhaps having both is the way to go! I chose the 16-80 as a kit option for my XT-5, primarily for the additional range. After lugging Canon DSLR’s around, it’s still a fairly portable package. At the 70-80mm focal length, it also makes for a pretty good outdoor portrait lens. It has the same filter size as the 10-24 (which I also have in my ‘landscape kit’), so no faffing about with step up rings. But… the 16-80 can be a bit soft around the edges at the ends of its range and at larger apertures, which is really frustrating. So I now find myself thinking that if there was a nice sharp lens that covered a good chunk of the 16-80 focal range, but in a light weight, even more portable package, I could plug the wider and telephoto ends with small primes. Here I am then, shopping for either the 18-55 or possibly the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8. Such an expensive hobby…

Owned both of these lens, and enjoyed both, but preferred the 16-80, the wider focal range was important and the short telephoto also helps for subject separation, even with F4 you still get a lovely out-of-focus bokeh. In the end, I opted to 'fully compromise' and bought the Tamron 18-300 for my sole zoom lens with the rest of my lenses being primes. The 18-300 isn't as sharp as my previous XF70-300, but it really isn't that far behind all of Fuji zooms in image quality. Yes, the 18-300 is heavier, but after a while, you adjust your holding technique and how you carry. When I want to be discreet, light weight and minimal, the XF35 F2 is one of my top choices, love that lens even more than the XF35 1.4 just for its overall performance and feel.

A great honest review.

good stuff thanks

the capture clips leaves some kind of residue mark on my camera after removing the plate, i have a fuji camera with silver colors, same with the micro clutch, i think its something about the rüber parts of those parts

Is it RFID blocking? And will this demagnetize my card?

I have Peak Design *everything* including straps such as the Slide Lite, Leash, Cuff, and Clutch so I gladly ordered the Micro Clutch in Kickstarter to use with my Fuji X100V. I love Peak Design but this product was a total miss for me. I bought the proper non-L plate for the X100V and it wasn't difficult to put on, but was fiddly and took time. It's not a clean solution and it does make the camera larger and battery changes a hassle. The Micro Clutch itself was profoundly uncomfortable. I adjusted it a million different ways but it was always either too loose where it would feel like I would drop the camera or so tight it was uncomfortable and cramped my fingers. I just never felt it was secure and the material isn't that soft. The full sized Clutch, even on a smaller camera, was much more comfortable and felt more secure, or the simple Cuff would do the job too and created a feeling of total security. I ended up putting the Micro Clutch in a draw where it sits gathering dust to this day.

the bottom bracket, plate interface comes across as lazy. That's a complete no-go for me. Better off finding a dedicated grip adaptor for your camera that has more thoughtful, purposeful design. I love PD but there's some design hits and design misses. This ones falls into the latter for me.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. You pretty much captured what I also like about the micro clutch over the cuff.

What size PD sling do you show at 2:01?

Peak design make some awesome accessories 👌🏼

Good Job George! Just subbed, been debating on getting peak design case/bar mount. I'm slowly getting tooooooo many peak design stuff for my vlogging channel!

You can unlock the next level when you start texting while biking! 🤣

prefiero mil por mil el redmi 12 pro

Is there any addition tools that I can allow me to attach pocket camera with this tripod?

Looks noce though
