I just took this 33mm f1.4 out for a first test run today. It's excellent. The fast continuous autofocus is working great (combined with my X-T5 camera with its all-important firmware update). Seems very sharp too.
I bought it to provide a good low light alternative to my beloved 16-55 f2.8, but I'm also loving the little things like how the 33mm doesn't stick out as much - so doesn't feel like it's going to get bashed when I'm moving through crowds.
I was afraid that 33mm on a crop sensor would be too tight for street photography, but it definitely isn't for mine. I still found myself having to walk in quite close.
I think it'll be more challenging to use than some shorter focal length Fuji lenses, for street photography, as it lacks the immediate wow factor of their distortion and ability to keep all the background in-shot. But I think that's exciting, as the 33mm has to work harder to decide what to include or exclude from a shot.
I'd still like using 16mm or 18mm capability on a separate lens for some 'fancy' close-in shots, but otherwise this 33mm gives me almost everything.
Good choice. Can't go wrong with this lens really
Love these samples! Great review friend!
Thanks dude!
@@PavSZ @PavSZ was your presentation / interview shots all filmed on the Fujifilm camera or a Panasonic?
Interesting. I suppose copy to copy must be different. Mine is ridiculously sharp. So sharp, I sometimes put a 1/8 black mist on it. It's very close to the sharpness of the XF 90mm f2. One of the best Fuji lenses out there.
Possibly.
mine wasn't mind blowing
Your colorgrade is so pleasing to watch sir..
oh thank you very much
Interesting. Many reviews of this lens say it’s one of the sharpest X mount lenses. Almost too clinically sharp.
I have reviewed and used over 200 different lenses already and this is, sharpness wise, below what many other brands are doing now. It is still sharp, just not pin sharp in m y opinion
I found mine to be extremely sharp. Definitely rivaled the image quality of my D850. Awesome lens!
I prefer modern era mirorless as clinical as possible. Bcs i think its more flexible to edit in lightroom or other software. Dunno
@@PavSZmaybe ya got a slightly less sharp copy
I am surprised by this comment as well. I've also read its one of the best optically for Fuji.
when I see a talking head not in the boring room, but somewhere outside - I am happy :) especially additional street sounds - very good.
thanks!
Are you shure with the topic sharpness? The XF33 is one of my sharpest lenses on my X-T5 with the 40 MP Sensor. Even the very good XF90 can't match up. The lens that can reach this absolute outstanding performance is the new XF56 R WR (version 2) . But it can't surpass. It can only match this amazing results. I am believing that your copy of this lens is not as good as my one. Use the new 40 MP for making judgements of a lens sharpness
I am comparing it to about 200 other lenses that I have used and tested.
There is a lot of clinically sharp lenses out there. This is sharp but it dos not compare to a lot of other lenses in that regard
@@PavSZ then it doesn't make that much sense if you're comparing it to 200 other lenses since this is a fuji lens and therefore should ONLY be compared to other fuji lenses. you even said in other comments that you were never able to use the fujifilm 35 f1.4 and 35 f.20 🤦
also, if you're comparing this sharpness into those 200 other lenses, well, then it's also comparing to other sensors. 🤷
Got the XF 33mm today for my X-S20, which came with the cheap lense. Day and night difference. The standard lense (15-45mm) was giving me very average pictures quality. I should have ordered the body only initially + the XF 33mm instead. Oh well, live and learn 🙂
Definitely better than the kit 15-45. I got my X-S20 with 18-55 f2.8/f4 and I am very happy with it. One of the better kit lenses out there.
This 33mm is a solid little prime
Thanks for the great video, Lord Mormont!
I'm about 50 years too young
Isn't the image quality alot better than the f2 and the old 1.4?
I never had those to compare but I am comparing it to all other lenses from many brands in this price range.
hey great video! Is this video shot on the xs20? The shots with the flower for example look really sharp, was wondering if it is a high mp sensor or the xs20. Thanks!
all shot on X-S20
Great review, Pav. What body would recommend to pair with this lense? I couldn't quite see which X you had there 😊
Thanks! it will work well with all current x-mount fuji cameras. I have tested it on X-S20
What's camera do you use to test this lens.??
X-S20
Haha: I wonder why everyone is still comparing focal lengths with analogue 35mm filmcamera's. That used to be a standard. But I have not shot that in 20 years or so.....For fuji it's more usefull to compare it with medium format, as they don't sell fullframe.
I don't know why are they still numbered wrong. This is only 33 on a full frame but it can't be used on a full frame so it is not 33
Hey :) Very good video :)
1. Which Fuji lens is sharper?
2. Which cheaper lens with good AF is similar to the XF33? Sigma 30?
Thanks!
Possibly Sigma 30mm. Very good lens.
Viltrox 27mm f1.2 is very good. I'm working on a review right now
@@PavSZ sigma 30 is better than xf35f2? AF, eye detect? :)
@@mr_greg3875 maybe. That will depend on the camera and how you use it.
Generally speaking, brand own lenses usually work better overall but not always
@@PavSZ i have the Sigma 30, yes it's sharp enough but I I don't think that it's sharper than the Fuji 33. The most annoying thing about the Sigma 30 is that it has no aperture dial but the price is almost 1/3 of this 33 so it's a much better purchase value
@@mr_greg3875Fuji is better based on my experience with both
I got this lens now and it makes quite some noise, if i move the lens in my hand. I put it on the camera and the noise from movement stopped. Then i put it off the camera again and the noise was there again, but much less than before. If i look from the back into the lense i can see the inner part moving according how i hold my hand. Is this “behavior” normal with that lens?
I'm not aware of this but it could be the focusing motor moving. I wouldn't worry about it if it works ok on the camera
@@PavSZ I think something with the software went wrong, so the focusing motor wasn’t locked. I am sure such a “play” of the focusing motor could destroy the lens. But now its alright again. Its still makes noise - more noise than other lenses - if i move the lens, but it doesn’t sound anymore like it could destroy a lens. Thank you for the answer.
It's just the LM thing, it's okay. Same happens with XF90mm f/2 LM when the camera is off.
Love the video. I'll get one, now that the price has dropped :-)
Yes!
Great video... but i'm still waiting for your Lightroom Presets!
Thanks!
They are coming this month! I promise
@@PavSZ Did they? :D Can't find them!
@@thomasmook not yet. I have everything ready to go live but I need to do some tests for payment system but there isn't enough hours in a day. I'll do it after Christmas
which is the sharpest lens?
out of all lenses in the world?
I mean among the x lineup.@@PavSZ
the one you have
You're using an X-T5, and that's why the sharpness is not as good as shooting with a 26MP camera. Simple.
how did you come to the conclusion that I am shooting with XT-5? I never said that.
Also the mega pixel count has got nothing to do with how sharp the lens is
@@PavSZ I saw a glimpse of the X-T5 on your video. If I was wrong then accept my apologies.
@@motebike it was X-S20
Beginner here, from my research the 40 mp X-t5 would make a sharper image than a 26 mp camera. But your statement says the opposite. Can you explain why that is. Looking to buy one soon
@@moustaphadiaw7101 40mpx sensor will create a bigger file, larger photo. Not necessarily sharper. That will come down mostly to the lens and how you use it
Have you set your High ISO NR to -4? Fujifilm bodies have this terrible NR Reduction that softens images up too much even at 0. Obviously you will get the full brunt of noise at -4, but at 0 it really dulls out sharp lenses.
Interesting .... checking it out now.
Thanks for that
Fuji 23 f1.4 lm wr or 33 f1.4 lm wr? Which one? 🙃😊
