Fuji XF 18-55 kit lens struggles to focus at some settings! Check it out!
In this video I investigate Fujifilm XF 18-55mm kit lens (Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS) with regard to its focusing accuracy. I estimate the focusing accuracy at 18mm, 35mm and 55mm focal length at various F-stop values. It turns out that focusing accuracy of this Fuji kit zoom lens is very dependent on focal length and F-stop. You will see my graphs and get recommendations on how to focus better.

I'm quite convinced that it's a very nice lens. I'd love to study it; however I don't own it. So far I've only reviewed equipment that I own. Is someone wants to send me a lens for testing (that I would then send back after testing) that could be an option to consider. However, that would be a new experience for me and I'm not sure how it would work. If I ever acquire this lens I'll be sure to test it thoroughly. It's certainly a lens that interests me.

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Thank you for this question. While it's not easy to recommend a camera to someone else, I have some thoughts. If it's your first camera then what matters most is that you feel comfortable with the controls. It might also matter that the camera is small. All cameras you mentioned are great ones. Photo quality depends on the lens, not so much on the camera. Full frame cameras are much larger and you have less lenses to choose from. The full frame lenses work well with crop sensor cameras but not the other way around. I'd suggest you to look in the direction of Nikon D3300 (th-cam.com/video/BYSCfy18tJI/w-d-xo.html), Nikon D3400 (th-cam.com/video/pH0t85aGi6E/w-d-xo.html), or Nikon D3500 (th-cam.com/video/0TTDu5hUfC0/w-d-xo.html). I might even say that the D3300 is perhaps the the best option. It is a bit more capable than the others and has the best price. I'm assuming you want a Nikon. Let me know if this is not so. Kind regards!

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@kaitlynlabertew4273 Hi! There generally aren't problems associated with using full frame lenses on crop sensor cameras. In some rare cases (if the lens is not native) you might have some focusing issues and the full frame lenses tend to be larger and more expensive. But your photo quality might even improve. You have less issues with vignetting and get better sharpness (since you're using mostly the middle part of the lens area which is the best part of the lens). I've used Nikon D3400 with Nikkor AF-S 50mm F/1.8 G ( th-cam.com/video/cz1i38ZGQ5U/w-d-xo.html) and the results have been amazing. Cheers!

      Hi! Thank you for this question. I've not used the X20 but I know what the differences are. There are quite a few small differences but for me the major one is the sensor. The X10 uses a very interesting EXR sensor that makes the EXR functions possible (th-cam.com/video/oNiBvA6dZx4/w-d-xo.html). The X20 has a more typical CMOS sensor that does not offer these functions. So, for me the X10 is a more capable camera.

It is very affordable, general purpose lens - it is lightweight, has very pleasant color rendition, has good and quiet autofocus, is very well controlled with direct sunlight, has very close focusing distance... I simply love it despite the chromatic aberrations it has - this is the reason why I have six of them... I do not know why people do not like kit lenses.

      Hi Toni! Thank you for asking! This lens has many positives, but it’s true that it’s not very fast (both in terms of capturing light and focusing). However, it will still work and isn’t a bad option to consider. Your best option would probably be the XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR or even the XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR. Unfortunately, these lenses are expensive. Some people also use the XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR for cars, but it has less reach than the other options and isn’t a zoom lens. If you’re photographing a fast-moving object in bright daylight and it’s not very far away, just about any X-mount lens can work. Best of luck to you!

      @@us249 Hi! Yes this is true, the value of these cameras is not going down. Just to clarify, the X-A1 does not have an X-Trans sensor, it has an APS-C CMOS sensor. The X-M1 has an X-Trans. However these sensors perform very similarly as I'm showing in my video (th-cam.com/video/pZcGDenPn-8/w-d-xo.html). Cheers!

    One question: after transferring pics from camera to iPad my pics have 2MPix size. And it doesn’t matter if I did them on FINE or NORMAL mode. What im doing wrong?

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Tanks for asking. I think this problem is related to the way the images are transferred, rather than a problem with your camera settings. If you're using the Fujifilm Camera Remote app to transfer photos, it may default to transferring 2MP (small JPEG) versions of your images instead of the full-resolution files. Change the setting from "2M" or "Compressed" to "Original" or "Full Size.". Consider using an SD card reader or adapter for your iPad. This will allow you to copy the images directly from the camera's memory card. Or alternatively, use Wi-Fi or cable. Let me know how it goes. Cheers!

    What lens the best for food/cooking video? Is it the kit enough?

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Than you for asking. The kit lens is nice and versatile and will work. However it's lacking bokeh and you don't have the option of using low F-stops. I'd perhaps recommend Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G. It's a great lens that will work in low light; you can get nice out of focus backgrounds and very high quality images. Kind regards!

    I managed to snag one for 140$ (with the 18-55mm lems) and man it's fun to use. I mainly bought it because i don't wanna keep borrowing my classmate's camera (d3500) and canon for some reason is still very expensive I'm lucky the sensor and lenses don't have issues (there's some dirt on the inside viewfinder)

    With respect, of course you can use a DX lens on a full frame from body. I have a D610, and before i got my first FX lens, I used the D80 kit lens, the 18-55mm. The camera auto adjusts for the DX lens. It works fine. i have the 50mm f1.8. the image quality is simply superb. It really is. Tack sharp as well. It's very inexpensive, but the picture quality is second to none.

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Thank you for your comment. Yes, you can certainly use a DX lens with a full frame camera and it will work. It's just that then you cannot take advantage of the wonderful full frame sensor. Kind regards!

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Thanks for asking. This combination should work fine. If you see any issues it's probably because the lens is 5 years newer than the camera and the camera is using older firmware. When you update your Fujifilm firmware (th-cam.com/video/okUvkMMWKOU/w-d-xo.html) everything should work well. Kind regards!

    @2:53 : The polarity might well matter for modern cameras. The centre contact should be positive and the chassis (side) contact negative - that is the modern standard. However, most flash units from around 1980 will have this polarity, and ancient units that do not are likely to have high voltages and should not be used on a modern camera anyway.

    @1:05 said _"Modern cameras can often but not always handle 250 volts"_ Are you kidding? The modern standard specifies under 24 volts, and former Olympus say 3-6 volts and Canon have recomended under 5 volts for some cameras. Most flash units made from around 1980 are under about 12 volts anyway for both technical and legal reasons. Not saying that some cameras can't take more, but I wouldn't try it.

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Thank you very much for your feedback. It’s true that many modern cameras can handle quite a bit of voltage. For example, my Fuji X-T30 is rated to handle up to 300 V. That said, I agree with you that it’s wise not to push the limits. There are also modern cameras out there that can only go to 6 -12 V (Canon EOS 10D, 20D, and Digital Rebel series; Nikon D40,50,60; Sony Alpha A100 and A200). Kind regards!

    Hi Tom, Thanks for great video. I am considering about xe2 and xa5. I saw many sample photos from both cameras, i really love style of images on xe2 but xa5 has auto focus faster than xe2 also touch screen and born later. In 2024 I am a newbie, I don't know whether to choose xa5 or xe2 which is suitable for portrait, landscape and travel photography

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Thank you very much for asking. First, you cannot go wrong with either camera because they are both wonderful. I really like the X-E2. I think it's a perfect camera for someone just starting their photography journey. The X-A5 will bring more functions but its image quality will not be higher and these additional functions are not too relevant. I personally like the X-E line of cameras a bit more than the X-A line. Additionally the X-E2 is a sweet spot among the X-E's. So, I recommend it with full confidence. What probably matters even more than the camera is the lens you are getting. Kind regards!

      Hi! Thank you for asking. The AF-P DX 18-55 VR will work in DX mode (with a crop) with D810. You cannot take full advantage of the full frame sensor. I'm not certain if autofocus will work without any hickups. I think it will but I'm not 100% sure. The lens should work perfectly with the D3200. However please make sure the camera firmware is up to date to support AF-P lenses. Best of luck to you!

    I wish more people watch your videos and read your explanations before they start spreading the common misconception about DR400% setting combining multiple exposures into one RAW file... I understand they see the change in their RAW file, but it's simply because the RAW file was exposed at 2 stops less light with gain instructions to make it appear like correctly exposed - simply explaining why their highlight slider in Lightroom gives them more room to save highlights. But in fact they might've taken the photo just underexposed by 2 stops (btw I shoot most of my daylight digital pics underexposed by 2/3 - 1 stop since ever; exactly because of this... and I learned that at times when the dynamic range used to be very poor) and then increase gain (exposure) in post-process, and they'd get the more or less the same result with the same highlight "recovery". To me this seems clear as a day, and it is also in line with Fujifilm's own explanation, but clearly people without technical background would need to see some simple visual examples to believe it.

    Hi I just got a camera with an XC lens but realized it doesn’t have what focal length you’re using. Is there a way I can find fhst out when shooting ? I’m new to Fuji. Also since there is no aperture ring, what is an easy way to access aperature ?

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Thank you for your feedback. The Fuji XC 15-45mm lens doesn’t display the exact focal length on the lens itself, but you can check it in two ways: On the Camera Screen, when you half-press the shutter button, your camera should show the focal length on the screen or viewfinder. In Playback Mode, after taking a photo, review it in playback mode. Since XC lenses don’t have an aperture ring, you can control the aperture through the camera’s command dial in Aperture Priority or Manual Mode. Best of luck to you!

      Hi! Thanks so much for watching and for this question. The XF 35 mm F/1.4 I would recommend for sure. I've also heard good things about the 18mm lens. (Generally Fuji does not make bad lenses.) The reason I personally don't own it is that 18mm is a focal length I don't very much use when shooting prime. I really like the 2.8 + OIS option of my XF 18-55 mm. This is currently my 18mm solution and it works. Best of luck to you!
