    I took a chance and just bought it. It's fantastic on my X-T3. I don't care about corner sharpness and all these charts and tech specs, but as a musician/artist/human with an eye I can say that this lens just has more soul in the photos. It's super sharp, but rolls off into a creamy blur in a very articulate manner. BTW you're one of the best dressed photographers on UA-cam. God bless you, bro!

      Thanks for the insights! Not a lot of info on it when paired with a X-T3. How is the autofocus in your opinion?

    Stunning images. What I like about the 33mm over the 35mm is the internal focusing, just like the huge 50-140mm.

    Great vid man. Fujifilm is definitely taking a step forward with these new lenses 18,23,33. Can’t wait to see what a high MP camera could do with these lenses as well. This vid just made me want the 33mm even more now lol.

    • @philporto
      @philporto  2 роки тому +2

      GET THE 33! and I agree. They are making moves. I want to see if the rumored XH2 comes out with 40mp, because these lenses would soar on it!

    Phil, stumbled upon your content and so glad I did! I’m a portrait, headshot and family photographer and I shoot on the X100V & the XT3 and on my xt3 primarily use the 35 1.4 and 56 1.2. I’m considering upgrading to the XT4 and the 33. I think the 33 might be the priority for me. May I ask, do you find the XT4 a nice upgrade to the XT4? I’ve also considered the XPRO 3 but since I’m used to the XT3, I think the XT4 will be more Intuitive. Thanks for any advice and guidance!

    The 33mm 1.4 is my go-to lens, only comes off for the occasional spin of the Viltrox 85mm 1.8 - and for weddings I have them both on different bodies, but pull out the 23mm where needed. Nice video!

    I have the 33 and plan to trade my 16 1.4 and 35 f2 for the 18 next. I love the 16 but what I've been shooting doesn't play well with distortion. Doing a lot of cars. I think the 18 and 33 would be a dope pair

      Ya I shoot cars as well and the 18mm has much better distortion and bokeh. I pair it with the Mitakon 35mm .095 and 56mm 1.2.

    You talk about the feel of the 18mm. Is it just that rather than the focal length compared to the 16mm?

    What are you using as a longer lens for ceremonies? I have the 56 and the 90. But now with the 18 and 33 I’m thinking I’m going to find myself frustrated with the autofocus on the 56. I can see myself gravitating towards the 33 more and ditching my 56 so my bag is 18,33,90.

  • @shy-guy5544
    @shy-guy5544 Рік тому

    I have this lens. Optically it is excellent but I think that this focal length is a bit of a compromise. It is a bit too narrow for landscapes and in cramped spaces and a bit too wide for portraits- I usually use it in sports finder mode in these situations.

    • @philporto
      @philporto  Рік тому

      Interesting. thanks for sharing your thoughts. this is one thing I love about photography is that everyone has their own style. For me, I love it for portraits and really fits what I am trying to do with my brand. thankful there are so many good lenses out there though so that we all find our go to lenses!

    Which focusing mode do you use for family portraits? I’m not a professional and I would to learn more.

    • @philporto
      @philporto  2 роки тому +2

      Honestly, thats all depends on how many people in the photo. I still shoot with one point focus mode, but I raise the aperture as more people enter the photo.

      Have not tried the sigma yet. but had sigma when i shot canon and hated how many times i had to recalibrate the lens. not sure that will be the case with the new ones, but i love sticking with fuji when i can.
