Fuji 16mm f2 8: Pros and Cons For Video

  • On paper, the Fuji 16mm f2.8 for the XT4 isn't very exciting for vlogging. It's not really wide enough, and not very fast. But it is super light, and apparently it has the latest autofocus motors in there, so is it a good lens for video. Let's test it out!

    Now that I got used to A7SIII, I think the fuji gets REALLY close is dynamic range and general quality and much cheaper. But, dang, that A7SIII video is flawless, especially the slow-mo. I'm ready for some R6 action. All I want from R6 is being able to record for an hour in 4k, that's all I want. I'll frickin stay with canon (for now) if r6 can record for an hour.

    • @Bolton115

    That stabilizer setting was a definite improvement. Fuji color/contrast and sharpness were definitely better than the samy. Would have been interesting to see how the prime would’ve stacked up to the 16 -50 kit zoom at tony2.8.

  • @curtis.strange
    @curtis.strange 3 роки тому

    I have the samyang 18mm AF e-mount and it has usable autofocus even on my a7ii, so I'd definitely try it on the better bodies. The only downside is that the AF motor is pretty loud.

    @nerdMike 3 роки тому +2

    On Fuji I use +2 -1 for static vlog on 18-55mm and I select "area" for movie AF mode.. I set the box on the center or where my face can be so when it doesn't detect the face the AF system doens't look around like when using "multi" settings, maybe that was the focusing problem when turning the head. (of course doesn't happens on Sony, more reliable at default settings)

  •  3 роки тому

    I like the Fuji lens. It has a nice natural look, not over saturated. Good skin tones. I'm a 2k fan. If you're going for 'keep my face in focus' and add some good toney, 1080 seems to me the way to go. I agree that it could be a little wider, but if you don't point it out I really don't notice.

  • @MrMoviePhoneEx
    @MrMoviePhoneEx 3 роки тому +1

    You seem to be happier and more productive and your humour is sharper and funnier, that’s perhaps an effect of Fuji love . I had a new 16 but I traded it in on a second hand XF18 and I’m glad I did although having purchased the 16 1.4 I have to say that lens is magic. The 16 2.8 looked great but I’m sure I saw it take at least one breath in your video. If your going to say 2k, for 1080p and replace aperture fstop I would like to get one thing straight if only for a moment the 16 2.8 is a cupcake, not a pancake. 🤪 Overall it looks like a great lens for vlogging cause it’s light and it has incredibly smooth focus motors but I remember a video when that lens first came out being criticized because you can’t fit it with gear very well to allow for a horizontal focusing knob... how the hell can anyone be happy, ha ha...? I would get it again but my adapted vintage Pentax Auto 110 16mm fixed 2.8 is just as much fun, especially for walking around the city, making it what I would say is an idea “urban environmental photography lens”... so much fun and simple, just make sure for any vintage glass that your adaption settings are correct to avoid linear distortion.

    You're always amusing while testing different lenses and cameras.😍I'm torn between the Samyang 12mm F2 AF Fuji, the Fuji 14mm f2.8, the Fuji 16mm f2.8, and the Fuji 18mm f2 for my next travel as a single lens, as I prefer to travel light. I plan to use it primarily for travel vlogging, street photography, whole-body shots, and some portraits. Which of the lenses I mentioned would you recommend as a single lens? Thank you 😍

  • @nyrubin

    I bought the samyang 18mm for my a7sii. It was pretty good @ afc. But the motor noise was too loud to use with a shot gun mic. So I got the 17-28mm tamron.

    I think the 16 2.8 is the current best vlog talking lens. (Other than a zoom for grabbing action scenes)
    Fuji just announced more mark 2 lenses, the 10-24 remake and the 27 remake. Hopefully people buy these so fuji is encouraged to make more mark 2 lenses. Would love a mark 2 14mm for vlogs. Or a fuji 12mm.

  • @k1k13004
    @k1k13004 3 роки тому +1

    on my test. 1080p has more noise, more aliasing (I'm not sure about autofocus) with the same bitrate (200Mbps). So now I'm skeptical about the 1080p.

    16mm is not wide enough but the colors and contrast are very nice. Definitely needs more toneh and the autofocus lost your face countless times. Fuji autofocus is near the bottom. The 12mm toneh 2 is much nicer looking for vlogging. But this is all irrelevant because nothing even comes close to the Sony A7SIII and the 20mm toneh 1.8. Its painful to watch these videos now.

    Do you still think the Fuji XT4 can be good for studio use and moving around in front of the camera? I was starting to debate a Sony a6600 or Canon 90D instead but I really want to love to XT4 because of the hybrid ability it presents but the auto focus just kills me. Every time I see a review or you look away from the camera and it decided to focus the background. I was debating a manual lens to fix it but I'm not sure anymore. What do you think?
