Thanks Chris, this is the review I have been waiting for. I LOVE my 55-200 but the new lens has the Lock and Extender option both of which were pulling me in this lens's direction, I just wanted to be sure that the quality hadn't been sacrificed on the alter of marketing. It looks as if, once again, Fuji are listening. Great Job, please keep it up!
Chris shoots really good architecture photos! And Jordan framing in this video is also great, very creative
Finally! I was just waiting for this review.
that was the review I was waiting for. looks like a must buy.
I pre-ordered this lens looking forward to it shipping soon 😊
Thanks team for the review and video!
Masterful use of the K-01 here. It's weird how some shots look like they have decent detail and then others have a weird early video camera look to them. The fujifilm lens looks pretty nice!
This lens is a winner. The advantages outweigh the few disadvantages for me by far.
In Northern Europe f/5.6 is much to dark and as it was said, these lenses are bought mostly for wildlife and sports. F/4.0 300 would be much more useful.
@@kallepyoraniemi5552 Well there are definitely still gaps in the Fujifilm lens lineup. But a lens like you describe is for another target group. Personally, I don't need something like that, I prefer something light and flexible.
does anyone know the release date of this lens?
@They Caged Non thanks
Fuji = bad Bokeh is just a stupid generalization that isn’t true.
They have the 56mm F1.2 50mm F1.0 and the 90mm F2 that prover otherwise.
Ofcourse variable zooms are worse in this aspect and this is no exception. But that says more about the type of lens then the brand.
As always, the best review
Have just decided to get my first Fuji Camera and this answered pretty much every question i had, particularly 55-200 vs 70-300 for my second lens!
Great review you guys, I want this lens.
Another great review guys; I don’t even use Fuji gear but was fascinated nonetheless
Thank you for the review it helped me to make my final decision on purchasing it.
Nice Review sir! Looking forward for the comparison between the 100-400mm. Waiting for it sir.. More power following you
Nice to hear you again..nice review
These two guys are great.
I has been waiting for the review for the lens. Good one. Stay warm. 😅
I pre-ordered this lens when it was released and after this review I have no intention of cancelling.
If I didn‘t know Jordan is shooting on a Pentax, I couldn’t hardly tell a difference. (Watch your show on an ipad). I think Chris has to dig much deeper to give Jordan a hard time.
Love your channel.
Greetings from Austria😷
Did anyone else hear some weird ringing in the left channel during Chris's indoor talking part?
Thanks guys, Finally a review of this lens from a channel I can trust but not sure I will use it for ping pong though 😂 good to see your out of isolation and feeling better stay safe guys and thanks for the great review 👍
Perfect review, thanks!
Fuji colours are amazing !!!! nice video.
Thanks for the review, that close-up of your face is crispy clear I was very impressed. I've preordered it for wildlife! Would've been better had the photos been of Edmonton! Haha!
Awesome lens and system seller IMHO. It's really solid optically, the range is awesome, size/weight are really great (especially considering the build quality), price is very reasonable, AF and OIS are top-notch, it's weather-sealed, etc. And features like pseudo-macro is just the icing on the cake :) I wish that Fuji follows a similar formula with future APS-C lenses. Making FF-wannabe lenses that are as big and as expensive as FF equivalents is totally pointless IMHO.
Great video man, thanks
Just love this channel......not adding much to the subject at hand, but worth saying anyway !
Matched with the x-s10, this lens does wonders! Even shooting in low light theaters, I get great results, and that at 300mm!!
Add macro rings for even more fun:)
Now I want it even more!
I was one of the few people who really liked the K01, still got it today beside my A7ii.
I like the K-01 too. I’ve got the big Pentax K-1 with great lenses as well as Fuji X-E4 and a bunch of lenses (including this 70-300) as Olympus OM-10 and a range of lenses but I quite like the style of the K-01 and honest simplicity of the whole shooting package. That 16mp sensor was great in it’s and it still delivers very nice clean raw images.
Nice review!
I just came here to see what Jordan is doing with K-01
Nice: the perfect lens if weight is an issue. Like with landscape and travel. And great that with the teleconferter you can do some ocasional wildlife too. And with the weathersealing? I think we have a winner here!
I think Fuji knocked it out of the park with this one :) there arent much (if any) cons here.
Whenever I watch your videos, I remember how much I'm missing Calgary and from meeting you at TCS. Such an amazing place to live and to enjoy such a sh*t weather hahaha cheers love the place
I'm SO going to buy this lens! I'll keep my good ol' 55-200mm too for a while, and then I'll decide if I keep both or the 70-300 only. I've had a lot of fun with the 55-200mm, so I'm eager to see what can I do with the 70-300mm + a teleconverter. The 100-400mm is just too big, heavy and expensive for my style. Thanks for the review!
I have the 55-200 as well and will buy the 70-300 too. I did always miss some last step of reach. Or that the 55 did not support the teleconverters. So quite happy about this new lense.
The 100-400 isn't super great beyond 300mm, anyway. I avoid using it beyond 300mm if I can. This looks like a great option, especially for the price.
@@mixwellusa thanks for the input and good to know about the 300mm mark for the 100-400 lense.👍
Would have liked to see some afc tests, birds in flight, fast running etx
Already pre-ordered this one. Can hardly wait!
Very nice review
Great review, guys! And the K-01 footage, surprisingly, didn't look too bad. Here's what I'm wondering about this one:
1. How is the weight of this lens distributed? Is it towards the rear of the lens (balancing better with the body)? The 55-200 is that way and a joy to carry around.
2. Is this lens more or less parfocal?
3. How's stabilization in video shooting handheld at 300mm? Yes, a tripod would be advised. Nonetheless, it seems the new Lumix 70-300 can pull this feat off smoothly. So I'm curious.
Do keep in mind, while comparing this to the Lumix lens, that you're comparing the same focal length lens between two different formats. All other things equivalent, shaking will be more apparent on the Fuji at 300MM (450mm equivalent.)
Hello, any suggestions whether I need to wait for 18-300 Tamron or I shall buy this 70-300 Fuji?
I am using XT3 + 16-80mm lens and 2 more : 56mm F1.2, 80mm macro. Please give me an advice that do i need 70-300mm for more option?. Tks for kindly comments.
Not sure which one is better from optical point of view, 55-200 or 70-300?
WOW! Just 1.3£! really a lot of bang for your pound british stering :D
I have this lens on order still not completely decided as to whether I want it or the 100-400 Fuji?
Will the 70-300 lens make abnormal noises when it shakes? Thank you
Not sure if is TH-cam's fault, on the last two videos the quality didn't change for me after 1080p. Both videos were shot on the k-01.
Fuji is going to sell a ton of these
And one to me 😎
Nope
I've got the 50-230, but I'm thinking of adding this to my wish list. 10-24 wr first though.
Mine is on order. Bit of a risk before a reliable review like this. Glad I pulled the trigger though.
@@daxvolfan yeah the 10-24 is in my head since quite some time too. I have the 55-200 already but will upgrade to 70-300. I always did miss some last steps of reach.
Thank you for the best review I've seen yet! Would I be greatly disappointed in this lens in comparing image quality to my 50-140mm (regardless of magnification)? I do already own the 1.4 and 2.0X teleconverters. Of course the 100-400mm would be even better, but the price is a bit much for this amateur ;)
I just saw the video and the photos. I buy it.
I need help/advise. I see you use Fuji X-S10, and it is not weather sealed/resistant. Is it safe to use it, when it is that cold outside? what is going to happen when you enter the warm room? Do you need some protection or not at all?
I have new X-S10 and I'm afraid to go outside in winter :( [Im realy newbie in photo]
Hello, good afternoon, does an x2 teleconverter work well with the XF 18-135 lens on an xt5 camera?
Thank you.
Former Pentaxian (Fuji now) but love K-01 ❤️
Would love to see a comparison between this and the 100-400
Pentax K-01 for filming? How big was the bet?
Hey what about the 50-140 in between??
The video quality is surprisingly good on a smartphone
70-300mm !? nice offering by fuji especially on aps-c offering even more reach making it a landscape & nature lens 🙂
Wait, no more nocts as weight measure?
What zoom lens would you recommand to film music concerts, clips ? Thank you (I've got an XT4)
I wish they talked about how quality and AF speed compares to the 55-200.
why was the pentax K-01 used to film this video?
So tempting...
Shot on Pentax K-01 😂
Better than shot on iphone memes
@@MUSTDOS a modern iphone would have better image quality tho :')
@@kylosalvesen TBH, iphones fail except in dynamic range.
It even has worse or non-existent color accuracy. it only beats the pentax when it comes to rolling shutter issues.
Not even modern phones can beat an SX280hs nor an Olympus E-3 with a Soviet lens (Helios44m4) in image quality. I personally tested that.
@@kylosalvesen The shot at 0:16 was done with my iPhone XR, so you be the judge!
@@thatjordandrake the K-01 has clearly the much nicer looking colors - accurate or not.
Really glad this lens exists. I'm not going to buy one because that amount of telephoto isn't really my thing, but if I go on a safari then I'd totally RENT one.
I like the lens being weather sealed and image stabilized. I'm both myself.
Awesome lens
What's about quality of close-up when shooting macro? Wide open of course
Thumbs up for the creativity and having fun at work. wtg
I may have missed it, how many Nocts does it weigh?
At 2:32 I can tell Jordan`s really trying hard to make that K-01 look impressive :D
Are you guys going to review the Canon RF 70-200 f4?
Shooting with a Pentax K01 for videos is like driving a vintage Citroen DS!
I have 50-140 f2.8 , so if i buy xf2x teleconverter, will be better i guess instead of buying 70-300 ? What do you think guys
Seems like Chris has done a conversion from Loop to Orvis... Just like many others too :D Not just the fly fishing gear from Orvis is getting better than Loop's, also the clothing! ;) Jm2c
I'm not ready to ditch my 55-200 yet so I'll wait for the 150-600 instead.
Musim potvrdit, ze 70-300 je opravdu skvely objektiv, mam i 50-140, ale vic pouzivam 70-300. Je lehký, kompaktní a příjemně se s ním pracuje.
"Shot on the Pentax K-01"?
Actually looks better than the recent Blackmagic $10K video that records at 12K (the original review was taken down?).
What's that annoying tone playing in the shots with speech? It's playing octaves of A at various frequencies, 1780hz, 3500hz, 5300hz etc. Could be that pentax amp?
Thanks for the review. I'm considering picking one of these up myself
Indeed! I heard (and was incredibly distracted by) it throughout almost the entire video.
Suppose it might very well be the Pentax amp or something relatively simple and discrete like that-but regardless of what is actually causing it, the end result is an amazingly painful thing to listen through!
I suspect the tone noise might actually just simply register at a frequency that’s too high for most adults (generally over the age of 25) to perceive, and that’s why it went unnoticed and uncorrected with this video? In some ways, the noise indeed reminds me of the dreaded, civil rights-abusing so-called “Mosquito Device” that reached peak popularity around the mid 2010s or so:
www.noisehelp.com/mosquito-tone.html
Gah, I hate those things.
Anyway, all of that aside, I’m really intrigued by this lens and definitely now considering buying one for myself!
Good review, thanks!
I don't see much of a difference between k01 and sh1. As long audio is good, im fine with it
Can the next challenge be Jordan has to film episodes on a Ricoh GR2?
There are no many lenses in Fujifilm line up? 2 from Fujifilm and 2 3rd party and about everything with Macro capability out there which can be adapted.
You sure that's on the Pentax K-01? Looks like it could be the Blackmagic 12K thing. They're equally good for video, right?
Anyway, nice review. I'm a Nikon shooter but darned if my OOC jpgs from my X100V don't perpetually tempt me towards that great bargain that is the X-S10. This lens, one of the kit lenses, and the 23 mm f/2 are calling to me.
Is it 1:2 macro for APS-C or true 1:2 macro? And what focal lengths?
Looks like you said the same thing twice:
> 1:2 macro for APS-C or true 1:2 macro
they both mean a 48mm object takes up 24mm in the frame. Compared to the same magnification on a full frame sensor, on APSC this means the object will fill the frame's width, as opposed to filling just the frame's height.
I saw you slip at least one "centre" in there lol
any reason for no panasonic s5 review YET?
I liked Jordan's creative framing here. Perhaps limitations really do stimulate creativity! Which lens(es) are you using on the K01?
As for the Fuji 70-300... Looks like a very good addition to the system. Thanks for the review, and for including both teleconverters!
I'm using the DA* 50-135mm F2.8 and the old DA 16-45mm F4. Glad you liked the framing, I'm trying to have a bit of fun with this setup.
@@thatjordandrake it actually looked pretty good, amazing work mate!
Great work 💪 Jordan. Its the man with the machine. Really looks nice!
Maybe it's because I'm a philistine or because I watch these videos on an iPad, but the video quality of this Pentax-penance series has been looking fine to me. Or maybe that Drake guy is a really good cinematographer...
I have a question. I want to buy a teleconverter for my 70-300mm. Which is better the 1.4x or 2x? Is it true that I lose a LOT in sharpness with the 2x compared to the 1.4? THANKS!
1.4 is the way to go.
Jordan surely transmits the real cold in there
What happened to the Noct weight scale??
For me, the cheap 50-230 is fantastic. So cheap it gets things done, maybe it is the case for many people.
That k01 is not to bad... Makes you wonder the hype we have all believed on more modern cameras. I almost sold my Fuji today... Thinking of keeping it now and getting a zoom.
Can't say I was impressed...
Honestly I like the bokeh?? Is that weird? A bit of a selling point for me. Maybe I like untamed bokeh? Seems a bit more on the characterful side than ugly side, maybe my eyes need adjusting? Reminds me a bit of a some vintage lens type bokeh, which obviously is not preferred for certain type of applications. Great review!
Pentax K-01 4 eva!
There should also be comparion with DA55-300 on Pentax K-01! :D
I bought this lens before I even had my Fuji body... Wish there had been some experimentation with shooting BIF for this review.
I really love my 55-200, I don't think there is a compelling enough reason to sell and get this lens, or even have both. A used 55-200 for $400 is a much better value imho, the sharpness is incredible if you get a good one.
Great review !! i would like to see photos with the converter 1.4x.
For my experience, using a converter gives the same result as cropping the image. Just because the converter always degrade the quality of the picture makes it a little soft.
They posted images with both converters in the links below the video.
@@awake780 thank you
Consider rising shooting info text a bit higher since in 16:9 smartphones the text is unreasonable. thanks keep going rocks
K01 looks very filmic, because it's not sharp??
WoohooOOOo K-01! Can I get a hell yeah!!?
