Fuji 16mm f2 8: Pros and Cons For Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- 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!

Don't forget to update firmware on lenses too :)
Will Fuji ever make a 16-55 t/2? that's the day I'll consider an XT-4!
Did you see Fuji have a new 50mm f1.0 lens out that they are lending to reviewers?
Congratulations!
LOL!!!! 70%...HAhaha
You should Narrate pictures more often. It's hilarious.
I'm dying 😭😭😭😭👻👻🤪🤪🤪
😂😂🤣🤣😭😭🌺😉
More of the commented pictures! "dining next to loud trucks" "exhaust dessert" pure gold!
YES!!!!
I've so been waiting for one of your 'photo-shoots / interpretations' using the fuji. Pure gold.
In a world where you had to return the Sony A7SIII, Fuji XT4 eases the pain, and that lens is outstanding! Your photos are a national treasure and will live in my heart for ever. Have a good one!✌️😁
OMG, I had no idea Kasey is the Master of street photography!!! Beautiful.
The best camera guy / youtuber out here. One of the best styles / presentations I watch.
Dude, I don't want to go to Donkey Heaven. 😎
The Fuji pops to focusing on the background at odd, random times -- even with you looking right at the camera. What is it seeing? Ghosts? Did you turn on Ghost-detect AF again???? How many times have I told you *NOT* to do that in suburban Toronto!!!!
pretty sure it detect that invisible hamster again...
Thank you. The photographic community is fortunate to have your sense of humor.. I need it!
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.
It well might after another firmware update or two. I hope Canon gets that together because the R6 is a really nice camera overall.
Well done, love the photo monologue! More please.....👍🏼
I love how Toneh is now the official new term for anyone I care to subscribe to. I just ordered 2 Toneh shirts to go with my Alien CC shirt. Soon my entire wardrobe will be comprised of CC merch. Haha
always the best reviews
I think this was the best lens (for your style) so far. Enough toneh for me, great colors and autofocus was 9/10 if you consider the a7siii 10/10. Keep up the fantastic work on both channels.
Every time I see the slo-mo street dash, it reminds me of Daniel Defoe running for the chopper at the end of Platoon... and not making it.
Now there's an idea for a video edit if I've ever seen one
I like the little laugh at the end when he realizes his dignity is on the floor. I appreciate the sacrifice.
Willem Defoe. Daniel Defoe wrote “Robinson Crusoe.” And he never worked with Oliver Stone.
uesjd you get a shiny star
I have the 16/1.4 and the Zeiss 12/2.8. I can let you try them out.
Yes! I want to see if the 12mm (equivalent 18mm) is wide enough for Kasey. Thumbs up Jeff's offer so Kasey will see it!
I love the image rendering of this XF 16mm f2.8. I have just ordered one (for photography!).
I have come to love this guy
Great video as usual! Really wish this was an f2 lens. Guess I have to wait for the Viltrox 13 f1.4, but it will be big.
Feeling ya on that 2.8.... 🥴
Good luck on the next video because you've outdone yourself here.
Thx for this one
Dude your outro cracks me up every time lol! 😂
OMG, 100% pure Kasey on the stills portion of this video! You, my friend, are one of a kind, and funny as hell! Keep up the good work! (P.S. This lens was pretty acceptable, but you're lens search will need to continue.)
This is exactly what I use. 👊🏼👌🏼
Haha, photo commentary voice makes a return from the vintage Minolta lens video, great stuff :)
Amazing to see how different the colors are when you see the samyang and the Fuji side by side. I prefer the Fuji look. There could be more toneh tho.
In sony to quick switch between still and movie, you use the camera in photo mode and just press the movie record to both start recording and switch modes. It jumps right back to photo when recording ends
Great colors..good stability...
I very much like the 16mm 2.8!
Tbh, these do seem like the right af settings. Oh and the 4k looks the same on UA-cam for me on my bloody TV so 4k is definitely not worth it for UA-cam if you upscale for the bandwidth increase.
BTW that match cut was impressive, you're getting way better at this stuff my dude
love you and you know it
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.
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.
13:21 i liked the vertical street shot. Photowalks and phototalks are so good content do it more :)
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)
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.
Really want you to review the new 50mm f1.0... Not a great focal length for your general needs, but I’m super curious about the autofocus and as a portrait/interview lens for video :)
Be honest guys, you guys watch this channel just to see Casey running in slow-mo
I’ve tried the 16mm 2.8 but it was hunting like a pro, killed everything. Just like yours. BUT then I turned on BOOST MODE, and now it can’t even hunt my lazy old dog.
Honestly, some of the pictures are Cinema!!!
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.
I came here for the fuji 16mm f/2.8 review stayed for the photo commentary! Lmao
i still might get this lol. that new fuji f1 lens looks gooood.
I look forward to the CC review!
I got served a B&H commercial right as you were calling them liars.... :)
regarding b&h weight of lenses, it depends what aperture its sset to, the larger the aperture, the heavier the lens
ZEIS BATIS 18!!!!!! and good weather sealing
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 😍
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.
Focus and stabe were good. Color and contrast great, so much better than the Sammy.
03:27 "...and it was hunting.." and it hunt exactly this time lol
Tony woulda vlogged with the new Fuji 50mm 1.0.
This is one of the best you've ever tried.
"oh we know what the viltrox does when we bring it outside... Gotta put a leash on that thing" 😭😭🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪
I would love to see a video on what fuji cultist call "fujifilm recipies" and a vlog with the 50mm f1 gordon laing style
4 tracking sensivity with a bit slow focus works better for me. With multi focus mode
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.
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.
I want to see the new fuji 50mm f 1.0 for the studio shoot 🤭
Oh ye cream of the crop with newest AF motors compared to 56 1.2, that lens is masterpiece (50 f1).
Aleksandr Samoilov i agree, cant believe that toneh
OMG... I've done the same! I've weighed my camera bodies, lenses, and tripods... and there are discrepencies between specs on papers and actual weights!!! 😱
Please do a review with the XT4 and Weebel S gimble pretty please
the batis 18 also has stabilization so i think it’s better for vlogs
No it doesn't.
Camera Conspiracies oh shit you’re a better geek that me
You need the 50mm f/1.0 for studio use.
Kasey! There are some other Samsung NX-series cameras -- get them (eBay for pennies, well US pennies) and try them out! Maybe they perfected hand-gesture detection???
stable and good toneh..... I like
Your neighborhood seems more active today.
Lol you finally did it, I can stop now. Do you like this more or the 18mm f2 ?
18mm f2 all the way.
Dude, the photo commentary was pure gold! Sony is bankrupt now, I think they should just donate their camera division to Olympus because Fuji colors :-D Thanks for the laugh!
Also the whole segment looked great, you seemed to be in focus the whole time and the background was pleasing. Not GoPro flat but not super Toneh either.
We're getting closer.
Fuji reached out to you with a lens and camera settings, that why its very hard to leave fuji because? they Listen!!!!
before you get the Sony, could you please test the Z6 with the 20mm f1.8 and pretend it has a flip screen ?
Very nice quality ! which preset did you use for this video and for pics ?? thanks !
I hope you get to test the Canon M7.
Diesel fuming trucks is on the menu of outdoor dining. :)
I know you're not a photographer or a portrait shooter at all but you need to get a hold of fujifilm's new 50mm 1.0 lens!!!! It might be trash for vlogging, but I just wanna see your funny reaction to be honest 😂.
Watch out for their new lenses that are coming up! I can't wait for the ones the make exactly for video.
If there's love - it's Camera Conspiracies
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. Help us!
The 16-55 f2.8 is the absolute best lens for the Fujifilm-X system. But it's also damn heavy.
Best for video too? I’m frustrated with my current Fuji lenses so if it’s the best for video I will purchase ASAP
@@natashanicole7408100% yes. It has linear autofocus motors that are smooth as butter! If you're planning on shooting video it's definitely the lens to have. They regularly go on sale for $900 so try not to pay more than that.
That’s why so many vloggers have beast biceps lol
Give the Fuji 14mm tony f2.8 lens a try. Might be the one.
I've made videos with it already.
🌈 TONEH STARS ✨
Holy jello, Batman! So warpy
That karate chop transition though
Yeah, that was brilliant
Do you know that there is a 12mm AF lens for the Fuji made by Zeiss? I think it is a Touit probably wide enough for vlogging..?
Any idea how the A7siii will do with canon EF lenses + the sigma MC-11??
Cool
Never saw Fuji color look this yellow and green.
Will you eventually switch and sell the fuji once you get the sony a7iii s?
What is your shutter speed mate; are you not trying for 180 degree shutter rule? Will make it look so much better dude.
Nice
The gopro 9 is going to have a larger front facing screen for vlogging
Donkey Heaven sounds like the place to be 💫🌤
Sorry to tell you but I do have the Samyang 18mm 2.8 and I use it on the Sony A7iii. NEVER had any autofocus troubles. I think your issues come from using a Fuji LOL
If you are going to go down the Sony road, what's your thoughts of the rumored A7c?
Would that not be a better vlogging camera?

Guys, the SAMYANG 16MM 2.0 MF is a perfevt lens, it beats some of my Fujilenses, no joke. Only downside, it's frontheavy and bulky
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?
I trust it for studio shots, not outside. I wouldn't get it if you were showing products to the camera a lot, or doing wacky autofocus tests.
I dont mind f2.8 it make the background antics more interesting. However did you notice Fujifilm have a new 50mm f1.0 lens sample they're sending to reviewers? Yes TONY ONE!
Mr. Dairy -- what vlog camera does he use????
Have you looked into sigma art for the sony?
What i sthat high noise lately in your videos??
Fine guess I’m off to donkey heaven. Just wanted to see how well the post stabilisation worked ☹️
Fuji colors ❤️
I had the 14mm 2.8. Should try that one. Or not
I've already reviewed it.
