Great Video Chris. Boring is only limited to the one behind the lens. Your sample pics look amazing. Looks like I will need to get the credit card out.
Hi! Nice review Did you have experience with sigma 23mm? I am looking for 23mm and I am considering between Fuji and sigma. What is important for me is the price, sigma is the half price of Fuji.
I don’t have experience with that lens, but I did get the Sigma 2.8 18-50 zoom lens and it was so good that I sold my Fujifilm 16-55F2.8 lens, which is saying a lot.
I had a part that I cut out, about how I know a lot of people think the 35mm equivalent focal length isn’t wide enough or isn’t close enough. To each their own. For me, it helps me find the shot.
I don’t have a question about the lens, it’s about the X-T5. I have two X-T4s, really well built cameras, but I want one that has a tilt screen not a flip out screen, mainly for street photography, my concern with the X-T5 (based on many you-tube reviews) is that it “feels” plasticky, especially the dials. What’s your opinion?
I had traded away my original X-T5 to get the X-H2 for hybrid shooting. While the X-H2 has been great, I hate it for photography for the same reason as the X-T4, that flip out screen. I now have both again, and I traded away my beloved X-Pro3 to get it back. This camera is absolutely wonderful for photography. I take it to the mountains, I take it out in the rain, I set it on the ground when I'm setting up my other camera for video. I do nothing to baby it. So no, I do not agree with other TH-camrs that it feels too plasticky. It's much lighter than the X-T4, which I think may add to the feeling that's it's built cheaply. Honestly, I don't even think about it when I'm using it.
I was afraid about the same thing too before grabbing my X-T5 (coming from an X-T3), but once the 5 came in, it felt actually so much better. I was completely surprised that it wasn’t a disappointing cheaply made camera as many TH-camrs made it seem. I guess it’s something you first gotta have in your hands to know
For me the 50mm equivalent is the most boring field of view. I never got used to it, not even when I see the best pics taken with that focal lens. So I guess it is subjective
To be clear, I'm not suggesting that the 35mm focal length is boring. It's a tongue-in-cheek way to describe a lens that just works and doesn't have any specific thing to point to as amazing.

Please let me know if there are any other details you’d like to know about this lens.
I love my copy, yes, dependable, never leaves my X-T5 either. Image quality never disappoints - captures true reality. I would call it faithful.
Faithful is a great description for this lens!
Extremely honest and benevolent video. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it

Thank you for the compliment.

Perfect opinion I will never listen too. I LOVE mine and also bought used mint for $560. yes the 18 is good but NOT everyone like that focal range
Thank you!
Damn that’s a good price. Used is around £650 here in the uk (840 USD)
Good video 👌 i think this 23mm is a boring focal length and it’s hard to create dramatic images with it but the lens is second best from my 18mm

@@ChrisFreitag Thank you very much for the explanation and the prompt reply.

@@danmontesinos2094 Thanks for the reply Montesinos.
In the used market I believe 700 is the perfect spot
Assuming you mean you can pick this up used for $700
