This is my perfect "bad neighbourhood" lens with my old XT2. Eliminate all of the fear factors of dropping, stealing and even raining because I don't even think about them, not like my Sony gears.
The glass is said to be the same off the XF 35 f2.. so rendering and sharpness is no different.. its only the body that really the difference in feel and well aperture ring.. enjoyed the vid!
Hey - great channel, your approach to photography is refreshing and resonates… finally someone talking about the process of making images and not getting hung up about the gear
@@aaronsambeyfilm I believe xf version is the same optically, but as you said aperture ring plus water resistant. Great little lens! Really enjoying the content on your channel!
There's not really a case where one is specifically better but one that suits the look you're going for. Both the Viltrox and the Sigma lenses are incredibly sharp. The Fujifilm is still sharp but it has a little bit more character to it.
@@Dolungmilo It's good for video if you don't mind focusing with a linear focus motor. Which means it doesn't have any hard stops. It can be finicky but the optical quality of this lens is fabulous, especially for the price.
Hey! Thanks for the comment! Before you solidify your opinion on what makes street photography, I'd suggest looking into the all-time great street photographers who have made some of the most substantial street photos ever photographed. suppose I'll have to refer you to Meyerowitz, Herzog, Webb, Bresson, and countless others who frequently photograph people from the side, back, out of focus, only the shadows of said subject, etc. It's gatekeepers that only inhibit creativity. Hope your opinions improve! All the best.
@@RCGJR_ Unfortunately, there's a collective of street photographers (and enthusiasts) that believe there are strict rules to street photography. One of their top rules is there having to be a person in the photo, that is facing the camera, that is the main focus of the photo. Which... sure. If that is a rule that you decide on when you're out taking photos, that's fine. However, to gatekeep all other photographers for not adhering to your decided upon precept is pretty darn silly.
@@aaronsambeyfilm the guy that made the comment needs to sit down, there is no rule in photography, just go out and capture moments you think is special to you.

Exactly. I don’t travel much. But this neighborhood looks like a similar seedy NYC. So this lens is perfect
Great Vibe for this lens review! Love it🤩
I just bought this lens 1 month ago, and I think it works amazing to me!

I also bought this lens used. Its a great value. I just wish my back dial worked right on my XE1 so i could change the aperture

I really appreciate that! And I love gear as much as the next photographer -- but they're really only tools to help facilitate creativity.
Yeah well I love gear too…. thats why it’s always good to be reminded about what it’s actually for…
I was sad when you said it doesn't take great shots... But then you added " but you do" 😁 happy!
One of the best review video i’ve ever watched
I bought this lens last year. I was surprised how good it was.
Surprised me, also! I think I will get the version with the aperture ring eventually but this is great for now.

@@travelcanada8817 I think the same thing, as well. And thank you!
Thanks for this really nice review and great pictures!
I appreciate your kind words!
Is the Fujifilm xc 35 f2 better than the viltrox 33mm f1.4 and the Sigma 30mm f1.4
There's not really a case where one is specifically better but one that suits the look you're going for. Both the Viltrox and the Sigma lenses are incredibly sharp. The Fujifilm is still sharp but it has a little bit more character to it.
Thanks for your vid. Does anyone knows if this lense aperture control is usable with the x-e1 and its command dial?
Well done.
Thanks!!!
Is this lens good for video??

Adios hahahah new suscripter, I really liked this video. Greeting from dominican republic
Thanks a ton!
It even makes sound when manual focusing.. not so nice
It does? I didn't notice that. I've since replaced it with the XF version and it's great.
so much video noise
Added grain.
I see photos of peoples backs - I quit. Sorry, I have no time to watch newbies's street photos.

@@aaronsambeyfilm wtf is wrong with photos of people’s back? This guy literally got out of the wrong side of the bed when he made this comment.

@@RCGJR_Thank you! If we all went about photographing what we thought was that Big moment. Then there would be very little to photograph
