Fuji is all about setting up your camera using dials and knobs to criticise them for using dials is moronic. The retro look and feel is the main reason I bought one.
It doesn't seem at all like he is criticizing them for it; it seems more like he is just reminding you of the facts. He literally says, "I don't like it, some of you may like it." Personally, it is why I went to Fuji when I stopped making money with photos. My Canon gear was never enjoyable to use for me, and I wanted photography to be enjoyable again in the way my Nikon film stuff was. Of course, now Sony is putting aperture rings on lenses.....no regrets though, because Sony has decided either you don't make money from photos and will be happy with a mediocre lens or you do and sky is the limit on cost.
Most Fuji users like their little dials because it makes them look like a "proper" photographer. Manually setting up their camera because they have the skill and ability to do so. And on the other hand, they bitch and moan because their autofoucs is slow. It is all a pretense. The reason Fuji needed a new CEO was because Fuji needed rescuing from it's own users and hopefully the X-H2s and X-H2 will do that.
Review some of their stellar primes! That's where the Fuji X-series really shines. The system in my opinion was kind of built around small, but fast primes with excellent image quality. The 56mm 1.2, 35mm 1.4, 23mm 1.4 and 16mm 1.4 are all highly touted among Fuji shooters. Not to mention their super small and lightweight f/2 primes (and the bigger 90mm f/2). Shooting a Fuji camera with any one of those compact, but fast primes really is a great shooting experience.
There is a rule when you're reviewing Fuji gear that you can't make disparaging remarks about the aperture ring. That's one of the best features of the Fuji system. The one lens we always throw shade at is the 27mm... not because it takes crappy photos, but because it doesn't have an aperture ring.
Fuji has pretty explicitly stated that they aren't planning on doing a full frame system. They are going to be releasing a new medium format body, the GFX 50R, sometime in the future though.
I really appreciate the sniff test Jared. I have no sense of smell (or taste) and constantly ask people to describe things to me. It drives them nuts. I wish you were my neighbour! Sweet lens and review👏🏻
I wish you still reviewd Fuji. Would be nice to see what you're able to do with the 8-16mm f2.8. Since you prefer the ~12-24s over the ~15-35s as your UW lens for your trinity
No issues with autofocus on the XT-3. This lens is versatile & “workhorse.” I used the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens for over 15years with no issues. I would place the Fuji 50-140mm lens in the same category.
Jared Polin I'm looking to buy the Nikon D3400 with af/p DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3g ED VR lens for wildlife photography, would like to know your opinion on this setup for a beginner.
Thank you! So many people complain about the lack of Aperture rings on lenses from Sigma for the Fooj. As well as complain about the PASM dial on the xH2s... Coming from Nikon, I always used back button focus, and the front and rear dials to adjust shutter and aperture. The xH2s has 7 custom slots on that PASM dial, as well. Way better, although less "aesthetically pleasing", I suppose.
Robert Falconer No. Lets say with these setting on a FF camera, F2.8, ISO 100 and 1/100, you are properly exposed. You will need to compensate by roughly 1 stop in ISO (ISO 200) or Shutter speed (1/50) (or more Light) to get the same exposure on an APSC body and on top of that the DOF will look like F4. You 100% need to apply the crop factor to the aperture, in every aspect, not just the DOF.
You might want to mention that that there are 1.4X and 2.0X teleconverters that work with this lens. This would extend the reach of the stock lens. It works well for me, but can get a little soft, on the 2X, at the long end. So I back it off a little and seems pretty sharp. Thanks for the humor, keep shakin' the desiccant and the rant ;)
Maybe someone had already mentioned this, but the crop factor is 1.5x for Fuji X cameras, so it's 75-210 in 35mm equivalent focal length. Does anyone other than Canon have a 1.6x crop factor?
If you are in the pit, two very good lenses are 56mm 1.2 and he 16mm 1.4 which are both optically excellent, although Af on 56mm is not so fast, on an X-T2 at least.
For sports, the Sony A7III looks like a beauty at the price point and would be very good for both that and concert (low light) work. The D850 is of course an excellent camera, but you have the DSLR size/ weight factor to consider. I use my Fuji for sports at the moment and get great results, but I am sure the Sony has more 'keepers' in this genre.
Like seeing Fuji presence since I'm a Fuji shooter. I'll probably stick with it unless Fuji really enhances its GFX system's "everyday" usability and I get a bunch of money. Nikon could possibly pull me away with their new system if it's really good I may keep my Fuji stuff and invest slowly into the Nikon. The experience of shooting for me is so much better than I've had with the others so it will be hard to get me to switch. Love dials.
I just bought 50-140mm new and I’m not sure that sound right or not when my camera off I lift the camera up and down I hear the noise clicking in the lens but when I turn the camera on that noise is gone. Is it normal? Anyone know please help thanks .
Really enjoyed this review. Now Jared lately I’ve came across many photographers that’s been putting down their Canons/Nikon DSLR’s and picking up Fuji Mirrorless body. What’s your take on that??? Can you see yourself doing the same or what would it take for you to change up your gear???
Sadly, mine has auto focus issues. I get that AF! in an orange triangle telling me it can not perform AF. Could be a setting somewhere or I have a bad lens.
I use Fuji but I don't understand why people get so defensive. He is reviewing it, it means he can criticize it if he wants. He talks so much good about it but all people take away is omg he didn't like the dials!!
They will never come out with a FF camera. They might build FF lenses for their MF system and use the 35mm mode but a FF chip will never be used by Fuji.
They are skipping it in favor of the even bigger Medium Format for their flagship camera. So yeah, they would be stupid to fragment their lens lineup with another, third sensor size.
It just doesn't make sense for them to even try getting into FF, that market is dominated by Sony in mirrorless and soon Canon and Nikon are joining the FF mirrorless fray. They're smart to staying with crop sensor for keeping it light, and medium format for their top of the line...cheapest medium format out in the market I believe, can't wait for the rumoured rangefinder medium format (xpro3??)
the lenses OIS does not work in conjunction with the cameras OIS. Whatever systems fuji sees as newer or more capable is the one that takes over that OIS duty.
I normally shoot concerts with my Fuji X body mounted with the following fast prime lenses: 135mm f/2 Zeiss 56mm f/1.2 Fujinon 23mm f/1.4 Fujinon 16mm f/1.4 Fujinon 12mm f/2 Rokinon The first field test I performed with my new Fiji 50-140mm f/2.8 lens was at a classical music concert. I was surprised that at the same f/stop and same focal length, the image quality of the Fuji lens was equal to the Zeiss.
I P DHH not in close distance scenario.The tamarin is like 130mm while the Fuji hours out to 210 and that means a lot in image compression which I turn influences bokeh.
the sole reason I unsubscribed from this channel is this kind of obnoxious tone in some reviews, I value any gear despite being suitable for me or not, and majority of it I simply can't afford, and I expect at least some amount of decency from reviewer, and not throwing stuff around
Why does Fuji make you ‘do the math’ to get the true focal length equivalent from a lens that ISNT a full frame lens? Do you also have to take the F-stop and times it by 1.5 to get the true light amount? Canon has EF-S lenses that you didn’t need to do that with.
If your not into Fuji, don't review Fuji. Fuji users like the aperture ring and camera dials This is why they have Fuji and not Sony, Canon or Nikon. Agree?
Am I the only one who always skip through the intro part, the ads, the sniffing part, the throwing of papers boxes, shaky shaky gag , and his explanation why he dislike for fuji aperture ring (on every fuji lens)?
Fuji will never go full frame they have apsc and medium format or cropped medium format and this apsc system is very close to full frame in terms of quality and usability so the Fuji system is not for everyone it’s for a specific kind of photographers.
By that you mean you live in ROI and not Northern Ireland. Do you have a holiday for your Independence from the crown? Thanks for the good wishes on the Fourth of July.
Well good example right here that you should never take advice from people who sell their opinions for money. Ask those who are real professionals getting paid for creating pictures. Even more his total ignorance of how the Fuji system works and he pass his opinion for money.

Thanks for reviewing more Fuji gear...

thanks Jared! I have been looking for this for a while and after this video I will invest in one. Best regards from Sweden
Jared I beg you please please please review the Fuji 18-55 f2.8-4.
Great video by the way
Good lens thats all
No need for Jared to review it. I have it and I did the sniff test myself. Smells really good, buy it
This channel is constantly recommended to me but after the Fuji 90mm review...
I will NEVER watch this guy again.
Thats the one where this Dick said it was slow to focus ! Ha ha
Same
Reason behind pricing is the lens is made for the APS-C mount of the Fuji X series cameras. So it is roughly a 70-200 f/4.
The lens is F/2.8. but the light gathered is not.
The technical F-Stop of this lens is F2.8. Mounted on a 1.5 crop sensor camera its F4.2 in every aspect.
Please forget this Ken Wheeler "exposure is per unit area" nonsense.
An your Huawei P20 cell phone has an F1.8 full frame equivalent F-Stop right Robert;-)) ?
Robert Falconer
No. Lets say with these setting on a FF camera, F2.8, ISO 100 and 1/100, you are properly exposed. You will need to compensate by roughly 1 stop in ISO (ISO 200) or Shutter speed (1/50) (or more Light) to get the same exposure on an APSC body and on top of that the DOF will look like F4. You 100% need to apply the crop factor to the aperture, in every aspect, not just the DOF.
Who else always skips the part where he says “JYAAARED POLIN, FRO KNOWS PHOTOHHSSS.... DOT COM!” ???
I don't have time. Cringing takes my whole being for a few seconds, and by that time, it's too late.
Yup. 😂
It's much easier if you watch on mobile, then you can double tap the screen as soon as he starts to jump 10 seconds
Jeremy golden tip
after watching his video continous, i sleep at night dreaming about some random person say FRO KNOWS PHOTOOOSS.. and didnt say dot com!
You might want to mention that that there are 1.4X and 2.0X teleconverters that work with this lens. This would extend the reach of the stock lens.

He doesn't talk about teleconverts
Hi! what do you think about the fuji 55-200 f/3.5-4.8 lens compared to other brands equivalent lenses?
No review of the teleconverter that was designed for it !?
I’ll eventually grab this lens. I already got an 85mm f1.4 and 135mm f2.8
Maybe someone had already mentioned this, but the crop factor is 1.5x for Fuji X cameras, so it's 75-210 in 35mm equivalent focal length. Does anyone other than Canon have a 1.6x crop factor?
would this be a good lens for concert photography
is fuji as good for concert photography than canon of nikon? i feel like its a brand you dont see as much of
If you are in the pit, two very good lenses are 56mm 1.2 and he 16mm 1.4 which are both optically excellent, although Af on 56mm is not so fast, on an X-T2 at least.
does fuji have a sports camera or a camera that can match up with the D850, fuji looks like a good product
For sports, the Sony A7III looks like a beauty at the price point and would be very good for both that and concert (low light) work. The D850 is of course an excellent camera, but you have the DSLR size/ weight factor to consider. I use my Fuji for sports at the moment and get great results, but I am sure the Sony has more 'keepers' in this genre.
you use the x-t1? thank you for taking the time to comment
Hi, When you turn off the IS on the lens, the IBIS is also turned of, And Fuji will NOT come with a Fullframe camera.
Like seeing Fuji presence since I'm a Fuji shooter. I'll probably stick with it unless Fuji really enhances its GFX system's "everyday" usability and I get a bunch of money. Nikon could possibly pull me away with their new system if it's really good I may keep my Fuji stuff and invest slowly into the Nikon.

Please review the 23mm f1.4 and 56mm f1.2 fuji
Hi Jared, I will soon be going on trip to the Antarctic should I get the 55-200 or or the 100-400mm to go on my Xpro2? Thanks,
Dominique.
Good review. The 50-140 is a great for covering events - lovely IQ.

How using the lens without the collar affects the weather resistance of the lens and camera?
I have my gear vault but have been slacking on getting my gear in there. Do you offer “load my gear vault data?” 😂
You think it runs alright with the 2x teleconverter?
Sadly, mine has auto focus issues. I get that AF! in an orange triangle telling me it can not perform AF. Could be a setting somewhere or I have a bad lens.
I use Fuji but I don't understand why people get so defensive. He is reviewing it, it means he can criticize it if he wants. He talks so much good about it but all people take away is omg he didn't like the dials!!

i really like the aperture ring...
the lenses OIS does not work in conjunction with the cameras OIS. Whatever systems fuji sees as newer or more capable is the one that takes over that OIS duty.
I just bought this lens and it is fantastic
Is it 140mm focused at infinity?
LM means Lick Me, an odd twist lost in translation from Japanese relating to humidity resistance. A quote from Ken Rockwell.
For real tho it means linear motor, it refers to the autofocus system in the lens.
Thumbs up again for fuji gear review !!!!! Good job
how well would this work in concert photography setting?
I normally shoot concerts with my Fuji X body mounted with the following fast prime lenses:
135mm f/2 Zeiss
56mm f/1.2 Fujinon
23mm f/1.4 Fujinon
16mm f/1.4 Fujinon
12mm f/2 Rokinon
The first field test I performed with my new Fiji 50-140mm f/2.8 lens was at a classical music concert. I was surprised that at the same f/stop and same focal length, the image quality of the Fuji lens was equal to the Zeiss.
Very well! Especially with image stabilization turned on.
How did you put that lens hood on... :D
Do these videos at Allen's Cameras. It just feels wrong at this new set.
Love that aperture ring:)))
price wise wouldn't it be more fare to compare it to the other brands f.4 lenses? since the DOF equivalent you are going to get on APS-C is of a f 4.2
Wrong. That's not how it works.
Is this a skateboarder?
Where is Raw Talk? i like you but DAMN... i miss raw talk! i even miss Todd Jokes, and sweaty hands Stephen "Crown" Eckert!
How would it compare to the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 say on a D750 Jared? Regarding IQ and bokeh....thanks
two different animals. One's full frame the other's not.
Jared Polin I know. I own a D750 and XT2.....wondering which system to get the 70-200 for.....
You will get better DoF (bokeh) on the Tamron with FF, but both have f2.8 light gathering.
I P DHH not in close distance scenario.The tamarin is like 130mm while the Fuji hours out to 210 and that means a lot in image compression which I turn influences bokeh.
Better bokeh, lower noise, higher weight
Got it this morning. It makes a noise when not connected to the camera, but apparently that's normal. Any comment... anyone?

Fuji should make some of their lenses in Nikon and Canon fit for those photographers who have no intension of changing systems.
