What's in my bag in 2021? Best 3 Fuji Lenses for Weddings

- What's in my camera bag in 2021? In this video, I share my top 3 Fujifilm lenses for wedding photography, the cornerstone of my wedding photography gear kit: the Fuji 16mm 1.4, the Fuji 23mm 1.4, and the 50mm 1.0. I also discuss the Fuji 56mm 1.2 and the Fuji 35mm 1.4 and explain why they didn't quite make the cut as what I think are the best Fuji lenses for wedding photography and portraits. All example images were shot in raw with the Fuji XT3 (which has the same exact sensor as the Fuji XT4) and edited in Lightroom with my RBP preset pack (50% off until the end of 2020): reggiebphotography.com/fujifi...

I love reviews from people who are highly competent and have a great portfolio to show. I am fed up with gear addicts / know-it-alls that can't even take a decent photo but somehow have a huge following on YT. Congratulations for your work.
Thanks my friend!
Agreed
Thanks!
You nailed it!! this is true given how easy it is to make people look unflattering in a wide angle shot. The comments in the video around the 16mm lens were spot on.
haha you're right. The ones that suck big time are the street photographers that don't have any idea how to shoot street at all :))
Also thanks for showing so many sample shots from the lenses in this video! 👏🏻 I hate when videos dont show examples from the lenses. Your photos are great!
23 and 56 are my power duo!
Tried and true
Thanks for making these videos, much appreciated.
Reggie your work is beautiful. I caught myself tearing up like I was a part of the event and moment myself. This review is great, you speak from experience and quite frankly you marry logic and creativity well
Thank you!
Great, great review Reggie! Thanks for that.
Great Video Reggie 👍
Thanks Matthew!
You are the best wedding photographer of the world hands down!! The images are heavenly look and feel with amazing colours!!!
Haha, far from it but thanks for the kind words!
Awesome sample images ! Wishing you the best for 2021 !
🤘🏽
Glad you got the 1.0, Reggie, and looking forward to hearing your longer-term experiences with it. The 16-80 (and before that the 18-55) are so good that I've not yet bought a prime.
Nice! I’m glad you have great experienced with those lenses!
I love your review. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤
Awesome photos, man! Great job
Amazing work bro...really enjoyed those sample images especially the ones shot at 23mm.
🙌🏽
Beautiful pictures Reggie, my favorite Fuji channel since I switch from my old Sony A6400. I learned so much from your videos.
While most of my lenses are Fuji, I do like the Viltrox 23mm.
Awesome!
Great vid as always. 23mm 1.4 is my all-time fav prime lens. I ditched the 16mm 1.4 since I struggled with the focal length: not wide enough for wide and too wide for everything else, I thought. But you really make the 16mm work you; I think these pictures are standouts among what is already a great crop. I’m in awe.
Thanks my friend!
16mm 1.4 is an old lens… and STILL is your (and my) favourite. It’s phenomenal and unique. It’s worth getting into the Fuji system just for this lens.
Great work! This helps me a lot
Beautiful work Reggie, I really enjoy your content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video, Reggie and absolute amazing photos. I‘m also using 16mm 1.4, 23mm 1.4, 56mm 1.2 mostly for my weddings besides a few shots with 90mm 2.0
Nice!
Thanks for all your content that is based on real photography, rather than the “gear reviewers” who seem to fill up most of UA-cam ❤️
Yeah haha that’s my goal
Great video, great content, and great pictures as always! Particularly loved 10:03 !
Thanks!
Glad to to see you back in action 😎👍🏽
When was I missing in action?!
35 1.4 for indoors and I’ve just bought the Viltrox 56 1.4 to work alongside it on my second body. For outdoors the 16-55 f2.8 gives me everything I need and I can use just one camera. Great images Reggie, have a great holiday season and thanks for all you do here 📷😁🙏🏼
Great choices and thanks for the well wishes! Hoping you have a great holiday season too!
Wow Reggie beautiful images. I really like your style. 35 f2.0, 56mm 1.2 and 23mm f1.4
Thank you!
Reggie, I would like to thank you for all the Fantastic Videos that you produce. I am. Fujifilm photographer here in Northern Canada. Keep up the Great Work and Merry Christmas to you and your family. We were in San Francisco last summer and enjoyed your beautiful city.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I just started shooting Fuji recently but so far I absolutely love the 16mm f/1.4 and the 23mm f/1.4. Both are so so good!
Yes!
oh wow your an amazing down to earth photographer.. great work man and great review
Thanks 🙏🏽
My 3 favorite lenses? I only have 3 so they are my top 3! 🙂 My favorite is the 23mm F2 - I just love the versatility of the focal length along with the super fast AF. I do mostly landscape/nature so it works well for that type of photography. But I also found it very useful for street photography and architecture. I was in Las Vegas a couple years ago and I spent the entire time in a casino or walking the Blvd. In all cases the 23mm F2 was all I needed. There's lots to take in inside casinos like the Venetian or Bellagio and the wide angle worked perfectly. Then on the street I used it to take in a full shots of the casinos (as cliche as that is it was a lot of fun to do). Then there's always something going on at the street level and this lens work well for capturing that. I spent several days in Las Vegas and all I needed was that one lens!
Nice lol
Reggie, thank you for all work you do on this channel! Very professional and always a great pleasure to watch your videos.
Could you please share which is your favourite lens for group shots? And what aperture do you use on it for small/large groups of people.
Thanks!
Yes I definitely can try to share on this
👍 always enjoy your videos Reggie!
Thansk Brian!
I just bought a sigma 16mm f1.4 for my xt3 so glad to hear its one of your favourite lense😊 cant wait to start practicing with it..
For this video I was referring to the Fujifilm 16mm 1.4
Great to hear the thoughts of a working photographer, over someone who is just a gear reviewer. Love your images too, you're very good at what you do. Cheers
Thanks woohoo
23mm is indeed my most used focal length too. It is the most versatile. Never got used to the 50mm equiv or 85mm equiv.
I’d agree with yoj there. My all time fave is the 28mm equiv focal length
Absolutely love the 16mm f1.4 - I use it all the time for super close, more than my adapted macro lens. I have always loved the ambience it gives. Second would be the 90mm f2 - super lens for close up work - my favorite, much more than 58 f1.2. I don't mind standing back further! Recently saw some reviews on the 18mm... it might be next on the list. In my current bag, the final lens is the 35f1.4. I use it more than anything else for photo shoots. It just "works".
Thanks for the comment!
Great video, Reggie! I love the photos! I'm am no professional but only an amateur photography enthusiast and I like doing portraits. This video helped me to decide which Fuji lenses should I buy in the future. Thanks! Btw, it is nice to see a Filipiñana wedding gown and a Barong Tagalog worn by the bride and groom, respectively.
Yes! Awesome dress right!
Those wide portraits are top tier. Excellent
Beautiful pictures! Thanks!
Thanks!
Great photos Reggie! I can’t take my 23mm f1.4 from my XT-3. Feel that I can do everything with that lens
Yes I would agree!
I jumped ship from Sony APS-C to Fuji. Went with an X-S10, Fuji 23 f2 (new) and Fuji 56 f1.2 (used for $500). I’m coming from Sigma 16 and 30 f1.4 primes. For shooting run and gun photo and video of my kids the 23 f2 with the IBIS of the X-S10 is amazing. At first I was disappointed with the softness of the 23 f2 close up but then started to stop down a little and stay 3-4 feet away from my kids and everything just comes together nicely. I’ll use the 56 1.2 when I can be more intentional and take my time with the shots. Thanks for your amazing content. Really helped in my decision making process.
Yeah the 23 f2 isn’t good as close focus which is why I sold mine. I love close focus shooting. But if you can stay within it’s strong range youre golden
Great point about avoiding distortion on the 16mm 1.4. I try to keep from pointing the camera up or down and raise or lower the camera height instead. I am considering switching to the 18mm 1.4 so that I can back away a little.
Yeah the 18 1.4 has great distortion control
Hey morning, and merry Christmas. I am new to fuji and these types of videos are great to further educate me on the system. I do not shoot professionally and I am a teacher -which means small budget lol. So I have branched out in terms of lenses and tried out Viltrox, and I have to say that I am absolutely in love with their 85mm. I mostly do dog portraits theses days (covid and all) and it is just perfect for it.
Thanks for sharing
Have all these lenses. The 56 is my favorite in quality, but it’s hardest to shoot with at that focal length. 16 is just amaaaazing but also can be too wide. 23 is my least favorite in optics, but stays on my camera now most of the time, it’s the best all around Fuji lens. Just really can’t go wrong with these 3 as a combo for all types of shooting. Great video.
Thanks Chase
Got to be the 90mm f2.0, 56 f1.2 and 16 f1.4 for me. I feel that covers enough of the range and gives me everything I need at events. I would also shout out the 16-55 f2.8 if you only had to take one lens, that one's a beauty.
Solid kit!
Yes fam 🙏🏼
Thanks brother 🙏🏽
Excellent work 👌🏾
I think that, especially in fashion work, there's something daring about bringing the 56mm f1.2 to a job. The thrill of chasing the manual shot (bc that autofocus has me fucked up) makes me love the shots I nail. I think, given the tactile nature of the XT series, the "zeroing-in" on the lens makes a grab more rewarding even though the security of knowing that you got it is very low.
That said, I definitely agree with your statements above. 23mm next pick up.
Thanks for sharing?
Skills. Much respect.
The xt4 has greatly improved the use of all of these f1.* lenses for me, like from good to great.
Again, great images. Keep killin it!
Xt3 has the same af as the xt4 now. Still better on the 1.0
@@Reggiebphoto true, but that in body stabilization gives you even more sharp steady shots in lowlight handheld.
Not for weddings
best combo for wedding , street...23 and 56
23mm f2 , 35mm f2 ,50mm f2 and camera flash as everthing fit inside a small bag , great for long wedding day shoot and easy on wallet :)
Nice!
Great video. I love you photography style. I assume you use two camera bodies on your shoots? Which lens do you have permanently attached and which do you swap? And how do you decide when to swap lenses?
Depends on the situation tbh. I swap when I need to change and adapt to what I need/want
I am a professional photographer and I love your photos. Great work!
Awesome thank you
Great one Reggie! I do mostly landscape and nature photography which is a totally different thing, but I highly appreciate your real world reviews. Even though I got the "holy trinity" zooms which is the classic set up for landscape, being inspired by you I'm considering even building a primes set up, for some reason I thing it could benefit my composition skills or maybe do it easier by having just 3 focal lengths in my mind. At least it could be funny. Well, thanks a lot for sharing you knowledge, as usual. Cheers!
Yes definitely helps your skill

@@Reggiebphoto Hi, I have only the fugifilm 16-80mm f-4. I need to buy two lenses today for events.. what lenses do you think i should get pls..
I'm a Fuji sport photographer, so my favorite lenses are the 50-140 and 100-400. Few weeks ago I bought the 50 f1.0, and tried it in basketball games. I think it works good, and the bokeh is really interesting.
Nice
Completely agree regarding the hunting and missed focus of the 56. It might be my favorite lens for what it produces, but it’s burned me multiple times where it looked sharp on the LCD but in post I could see that it missed. I’m a big fan of the short tele range (85 ffe), and while I’m not ready to pony up for the 50mm, I am curious. Other two favorite lenses are the 16mm 1.4 and the 35mm f2. I’ve not picked up the 1.4, but the f2 has been so good for me that I’ve just not found the need yet.
The 35 f2 is solid. I switched to the 1.4 mainly for ability to lower my iso
What are your top 3 Fujifilm lenses and why? Let’s help the community, especially those new to the system.
I don't shoot weddings, mostly street, travel and portraits, but from owning 10 Fuji lenses my top 3 are:
- The 16mm f1.4 for it's speed, WR, rendering, close focus and challenging focal length (for me the focal length either really works or really doesn't)
- The 23mm f1.4 for it's speed, versatile focal length, sharpness wide open and up close (vs the f2)
- The 50mm f2 for it's size/weight, fast auto focus, WR, sharpness wide open
Great minds think alike! :)
Yes! Very similar!
16 1.4/18 2.0 first one for harsh weather, second for everyday use
35 2.0 fast af make my decision
60 2.4 is cool for portraits and macro shots is amazing yet it being pretty lightweight
Mostly light kit for almost everything I shoot
Awesome!
16-55 for my video work and for all my still work I pretty much stick to the 23 1.4 and the 85 1.8
Nice!
Landscape, travel, street and portrait.
(1) XF 16 1.4 (just perfect),
(2) XF 50 F2 (light, very sharper) with Old Helios 44-2 58mm (bokeh monster)
(3)XF 16-80 for the 23mm to 35mm range ("Swiss Army Knife", sharper for this range).
But since I saw your chain, I think of XF 23 mm 1.4 although I also think of XF 70-300 ...
Hey man. Looking forward to the tutorial on how to stitch Panoramic photos!
It’s already been out for a long time haha ua-cam.com/video/EPiREXtljw0/v-deo.html
The 16 1.4 is on the top of my list as well. I can't describe what it is. It's one of those lenses that you can just fall in love with after spending time with it. Personality? Character may be? Really can't explain it pretty much like when you met someone you wanted to spend your entire life with.
23 1.4 is a very good lens. However, I found myself reach over and grab the 35 1.4 more often for some reason. The 23 1.4 can be a nice walk around lens tho sort of like your sister that you love very much but you don't have to spend so much time with but you do get along.
The 56 1.2 is my most reliable lens, when it can focus correctly. I said that because I haven't get any bad photos from this lens since I bought it 6 years ago. But it's one of those lenses that only work when you have time to focus. Don't expect the lens to just grab the subject in split second. If you just carefully focus on the subject, you're guaranteed to get a breathtaking photo.
The 50 1.0 is nice but I don't know if I really need it. At least not now.
Thanks for shsring
Hi Reggie thanx for your thoughts on the 50 f1.0 against the 56 I am just in the middle of frustration whether I want to replace my 56 with the 50 and now it's all decided:) great work keep posting...
Thank you
Top 3 for me currently is the 16 1.4, 35 1.4 & 50 f1.0. I will be adding the 18 1.4 when it's released for my wedding work these 3 cover everything
Yeah I’m hoping the 18 1.4 is the truth
First ist the 16mm 1.4 because its very versatile, i like the look of this focal lenght and in some situations it's challanging. But i like this.
Second lens is the 35 1.4. Here i like the character and the look wide open.
Third ist the 50mm f2. I don't own the 56 1.2 at the moment but i like this too. It's small, fast sharp enough for me and fit wr and good micro contrast.
Today i got the viltrox 85 mm 1.8 MK2. First shots looking good. But i have to do do some practice with it. So it's possible, that is a good focal lenght for me in the future. 😉
Thanks for all your good and useful content. Great work. 😀👌
Thanks for sharing!
Im jealous of your skills man! I live in the Bay as well and I love the way you capture our amazing forests and coastlines
I own the 27mm, 56mm and 18-55mm.
Love the 27mm for its size. Together with my XT2 it fits in the pocket of my jacket. So I often take it on family trips (leaving the lens cap at home 😉).
I'm looking for a third prime now. Probably the 23mm f2. Also a big fan of the 16mm, but I'm waiting for the new 18mm.
yes the new 18 is going to shake up my top 3 for sure
Galing Reg! Tama yan mga lente mo!
🙌🏽🙌🏽 salamat!
Reggie, it’s no wonder why Fuji selected you as an X Photographer - your images are stunning.
Lens choices are no surprise - 24/35/85 have been staples for wedding photographers.
Yes! And haha, thanks for the compliments
When I shot 35mm film weddings, I used the 24mm f/2, 35mm f/1.4, and 85mm f/1.4 Nikon lenses.
When I started shooting Fuji digital, the 16mm f/1.4 was the third lens I purchased, the 23mm f/1.4 was the first, and the 56mm f/1.2 was the second.
My top 3 Fuji X mount prime lenses for weddings are:
Fujinon 16mm f/1.4 WR
Fujinon 23mm f/1.4
Fujinon 56mm f/1.2
When I need something wider, I use the Zeiss 12mm f/2.8 Fuji X mount.
When I need something longer, I use an adapted Zeiss 135mm f/2 Sonnar.
For ring shots, macro, and head & shoulder portraits, I use an adapted 55mm f/3.5 Nikon micro or an adapted 105mm f/2.8 Nikon micro.
I also have the Fujinon 50-140mm f/2.8 WR and the Fujinon 16-55mm f/2.8 WR that I use as backups.
Awesome
Oh my frustrations at the 56mm...I'm not alone!
I am going to try the 23mm and 56mm focal length using my Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-F4 on my Nikon D5500
Terrific video! My thought about 56mm f1.2: I attempt to gain the best of both worlds: using 56mm in bright static portrait shots, and switching to 50mm f2 in quicker-paced [regardless of light] or lower light-with-flash shots. 50mm f2.0 is incredible for such usage. Yeah - 50mm f1.0 could be amazing, but it's SIZE, WEIGHT, and COST are such that I simply won't even try it. Well done!
Yup that’s the threshold for the 50 1.0.
@@Reggiebphoto Hi, I have only the fugifilm 16-80mm f-4. I need to buy two lenses today for events.. what lenses do you think i should get pls..
23 f2 35 f1.4 and 56 f1.2 are my power trio !
Yes!
Great video 👍 shooting at F1 on the 50mm in good light outdoors will need an ND filter???
I don’t use one
Impressive photos with the 16mm.
Thanks, it really inspires me to shoot
I’m a 23 1.4/35 1.4/56 1.2. I have the 15-55/50-140 but they are heavy and I have a really bad back. Really want to get the 90 and the 16
Good review! Can you recommend a camera flash for wedding?
ua-cam.com/video/auFrcuLQnB4/v-deo.html all the flashes I use
What are your thoughts about the 18mm f1.4 coming out? It seems like the 18 will be the "if you could only have one lens" since it is a great compromise between the 16 and 23
the 18mm is my favorite focal length, so it will definitely affect how my line up iis next year
6:52 When you account for crop factor, and match fov + dof, you also match total light gathered. For example, the Fuji 56mm at f/1.2 has the same field of view, dof and light gathering as a ff 85mm at f/1.8.
Ok
That is not true. A 1.2 has the light gathering of a 1.2. Any lens with 1.2 or whatever the opening it will gather that same amount of light no matter what format camera you put it on.
@@jamesjackson4264 Yes, light gathering will be 1.2. However, he is right about the rest Dof is equivalent to 85 f1.8 ff, and so will low light capability be taking into account that noise is introduced at lower iso on the smaller sensor. Then again I never saw the need for anything faster than this.
@@johansphoto that is correct that is why I only corrected the light gathering and not the DOF.
my favorite lens is the classic canon FD 50mm f/1.4 because it is the only lens i owned...
Haha nice!
Fuji has been listening! First they "fixed" the 27mm, and now a 18mm f.14 with hardly any distortion at all. =D
Yup!
Great video 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Great Video! I've been saving for a Fuji 56mm 1.2 for my X-T2 for my side gig as a freelance wedding photographer here in the Philippines. Lately, it has been highly compared to the Viltrox 56mm 1.4 which has better AF based from other YT reviews. Should I get the Fuji or the Viltrox? Thanks!
I wouldn’t know I haven’t tried the Viltrox
Hello Reggie, you convinced me to sell my 56mm for the 50mm f/1.0. I have lost confidence in the 56 ability to obtain consistent AF. Hope all is well, stay safe.
Awesome video Reggie!
Would you recommend these lenses' viltrox counterparts for wedding as well?
I'm a bit tight on the budget 😁
i've never tried them, so i can't relaly comment on them
Hello Reggie, thank you for your greats videos.👍🏻
I would like to know if you notice an improvement with the
50mm XF F1.0 R WR night time autofocus compare to the 56mm XF f1.2 R?
Best,
I’ve documented all my thoughts on the comparison of af in this video: ua-cam.com/video/0_Qo0GUNxFU/v-deo.html
Those videos were what I was looking for thank you very much 😊:
ua-cam.com/video/pCItAlpD_Yg/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/PXwUAWv1jxg/v-deo.html
Wow.. What am excellent video.. Super thanks..
Which would you recommend for bridal makeup shoots full of vibrant colors please..? 50mm1.0 looks a dream lens, but dont have availability in India and probably this will be 2-3 times the cost of 35mm 1.4..
56 1.2 or 90 f2
Definitely looking to get the 50 f1 but jeeeesz $$$$!
Yup, to be honest I feel like it’s fairly priced. And if it’s too much the 56 1.2 is solid
@@Reggiebphoto just looked at Adorama. Not too bad honestly. I have expensive glass but I’m not immune to sticker shock lol. Should have it after tax season. Gotta pay Uncle Sam first.
Yes for sure. Compared to full frame premium glass, the 50mm 1.0 isn’t THAT bad lol. But this hobby is the worst for price comparisons lol
Great content! For a beginner like me who just pre-ordered X-T4 (my first camera) a day ago, what lens would you recommend best pair with it knowing that I still have to get-to-know my xt4 moreso with photography.
What would be my 3-in-1 lens (for now) that can do portrait, landscape and video before I invest on specific lenses.
Thanks.
18-55 2.8-4 or the 23 f2 or 35 f2 would be solid options
@@Reggiebphoto Thanks man. 🙏
16mm1.4, 35mm1.4, and possibly the 50mm1
Bills too
35 F2 lang malakas 😂. Good informative video as always kabayan. Hopefully by 2021 mahirapan ka na magreply sa comments dahil viral ka na! Happy holidays to you and your fam.
🙌🏽
great video...but now I'm worried. I was going to get a 56 1.2 for night street and wedding/portrait work, but your comments on the focus performance of this lens in low light give me pause. Am I better off with the Viltrox 56 1.4 and take a hit on the minor reduction in optical performance? this would be less noticeable than missing focus in the moment imho. You might think that the 50mm f1.0 might be answer and yes it may be - but its just too expensive at the moment ($1800 in UK).
It will do fine as you’ve seen all the examples I showed for the 56 1.2
What lens do you recommend for artistic self/ environmental photos? Ty 😁
23 or 16 for environmental portraits
16-55mm, 35mm 1.4, 90mm f2, macro extension tube.
Yes 🙌🏽
The 23 1.4 is my favourite lens for the same reasons you mentioned. I take about 70% of all wedding photos with that lens.
I also really like the 56, which is fast enough for my taste. I really like the size compared to the giant 50 f1.
For portraits the 35 1.4 is my favourite.
Question to all the Fuji shooters out there:
Does anyone have the 18 f2? What is your experience with it? I find its size very intriguing, but I am not sure whether the AF is too slow. It is also quite loud.
I have it snd I like it. Just wish it had larger aperture. Otherwise I’d probably use it for weddings
I have the 18mm f2 and like it, mainly for daily shot and travel-street. It’s a fun lens to use and the image quality is pretty nice and sharp. It focuses really well with my X-Pro3, but I don’t think I’m gonna use it for video because it’s quite loud.
Now I’m thinking of getting the 23mm f1.4 for better image quality and wondering whether I should keep the 18mm or just sell it even though I love its size and weight.
The aperture doesn't bother me at all as I would use it for street photography where I am at f5.6-f8 most of the times anyways.
Thanks for the answers to both of you! :)
Really my idol, wonderful picture
Thanks, which one was your favorite?
@@Reggiebphoto so many, i like 16 and 56mm

how about 18mm? Im thinking to get 18 or 16 for general and environmental portraits... I read 18 is sharpest and those 2mm help with distorsion on portraits

80 mm macro, 16 mm, 56 mmm, and 23 mm in that order. The macro lives on my xt2
Nice what type of subjects do you shoot?
The lens size doesn’t really bother me that much for the 50mm F1.0. FujiFilm always have smaller alternatives if you need something light weight, but you just need to be prepared for that F-stop penalty.
As most my photography is in low light and without a flash, I usually stick to the bigger aperture lenses (f1.0, and f1.4).
Is the autofocus of the 56mm v1 quick enough for moving subjects with xt4 or newer?
Not really
So I almost got it right on instagram but I went with the 23mm f 2.0:))....close.:)) Kudos
Haha I use the x100v for my 23 f2 fix :)
What does it mean when you say the lens has point .21 magnification?
Something the size of the sensor can be resolved to take up .21 of the photo. A true macro is 1:1 which means something the same size of the sensor can be focused so it takes ip the entire size of the photo
23mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2.0, and the 56mm f/1.2!
What’s the best lens for making coffee? 🤔
@@Reggiebphoto the one you have on hand. 🙂
