i got this exact lens yesterday off ebay too, and so far i love it. you said that your af is quite loud, but mine seems to be quite quiet? so maybe it varies from lens to lens. however i have been having issues with updating the lens, i cannot get it to show up in my file explorer, even after using my laptop and pc with multiple cables. but anyway, great video mate, i'll definitely subscribe for future stuff :))
I used it today for quite a few shots and I’m still loving it. I guess with these cheaper lenses that could be something that falls through the cracks as long as it’s functioning properly. I had the same issue when connecting mine, that’s when I checked the website and it said no support for Mac, but it sounds like you’re on PC so idk what the issue could be. Thanks for the subscribe, happy to have you here!
I’m naturally a pretty high energy person and I’m trying to start translating that into videos more. And including music I actually like. It’s a great budget lens though! Leaves some to be desired but that’s to be expected with a lens this cheap
They’re definitely very busy. I like when companies give us options out side of the normal black or white barrels though! Never a bad thing to have an option outside of the normal
They have black ones, of course. This Kodak colors version will get more people talking about the brand…which is a concern for me. Would TTartisan introducing so many lenses affect Fuji's profitability? Or would the cheaper lenses bring more people to the Fuji brand…buying Fuji cameras.
I think there’s always going to be people that prefer just the plain black or white options. But I definitely feel like a lens like this stands out and draws some attention to the camera, naturally the eyes are gonna look to see what brand it’s on. I don’t foresee people buying Fuji’s just to have lenses like these though.
I think Fuji caters to a very specific type of photographer to begin with. For all my professional stuff I like Canon - for more stylized and personal/documenting my life type of things, the Fuji is always my choice. I have the Fuji in my hands far more than my R5, but I know when I have something for a higher caliber to shoot, the R5 walks the Fuji on autofocus and IBIS. Different tools for different use scenarios

Just bought one new on ebay for $110! Now just need to wait for my X-T5 lol
That’s where I got mine! It’s a good lens, more so for photo but I like its color rendition, sharpness and charactwr
Damn the bgm and the scene doesnt match at all lol. Love the vid tho. I'm considering getting mine after seeing your vid

Kodak colours? I like it.
As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it haha. I bet it looks even better on an XT series camera
Thanks for the review. The lens barrel colors are terrible IMO. Why try so hard to be different? The optics are great though.

Did you say "KOJAK"? It's pronounced KO-DAK. Kojak was a TV series from the 70s.
It is indeed Kojak Gold, that’s the name of the film recipe!
