Hi! I really hope you or anyone else may be able to help. Just found your channel while trying to figure out which lens to get for my first Fujifilm XH2. I'd love to use it for filming. So far I've been using Canon Rebel + Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, which is great both for filming and product photography, with a lovely soft quality and bokeh. I want to upgrade my equipment and make my videos more cinematic. Your video was very helpful, now I know more about different lens for Fuji, but I'm still having the hardest time deciding which lens to choose to start with, any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you :)
Great video! I’m currently using the xf 18-120mm f4 and the xf 23mm f1.4 mk2; I also have the Voigtlander 23mm f1.2 for personal photos. Even with the Fujinon glass I manual focus around 90% of the time, the focus by wire isn’t the best but it’s just fine for product photography for me. I’m really heavily considering the Viltrox 13mm as I need something wider to use in my tight studio at times…
Thanks for the insights! I decided to go with a Fringer setup and stick with that sweet, sweet Sigma glass: 18-35mm f/1.8 Art and the 24-70mm f/2.8 Art. Heavy, but very, very pretty glass. I also have a 33mm f/1.4 Viltrox AF, which I desperately love for my X-H2S. Considering the 7Artisans just for the character of it.
You and Gxace have definitely given me more than enough reason to get that 13mm. I have the Sigma 18 - 35, the Zeiss 32mm, and some canon fd primes but I'd really like to go even wider. Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos. Question! When filming but talking from behind the camera (like at 3:08) do you even need to use an external mic anymore when paired with the adobe ai podcast tool?
It's a really great lens. And yeah! I flipped my MK400 around when I was doing the walking tour. Then used the adobe ai audio. It's creepy good - I just wish it has more control
I assume that you have the latest FW for the 16-55? Because I don't see the exposure shifts! Because yeah, finally, Fujifilm fixed that dreaded exposure shift when you zoom in and out using the 16-55 lens! I use the 16-55 for photography and 18-120 for video. But I can finally just bring the 16-55 for my photo and video work (if I don't need the range).
@KMR do we know if the 18-120 fixed the exposure shift issue? I'm big on zooming during video for doc work and if they can fix that lens it would be a game changer for me.
Very nice short gear talk. And I really love your new space! About glass I use: on the #cine_x_one (x-h2s rigged up) mainly the Fujinon XF18-120. It's the best 'cheap cine lens' fuji offers right now. Second are my three Canon vintage fd lenses 24, 35, 50 SSC. Third a SIRUI native x-mount anamorphic lens. And on the cine_gfx (gfx100s rigged up) only the GF20-35 for my ongoing project 'Multi-Exposures in an Urban Environment'. Next step are some DZOs in PL mount (with the Octupus adapter for the x-h2s and an GF to PL adapter for the Gfx100s....
How did you solve third-party lenses not adhering to the autofocus speed and locking settings? Whenever I try third party lenses (which, admittedly, only have been five so far by Viltrox, Sigma, and Tamron) I don't like their snapping autofocus behavior. With native Fuji glass, I can dial in my settings to be a slower focus-pull and not immediately focus on the subject crossing my view in the foreground, but stay on the previously tracked object. This has been an issue with both my X-T3, an X-T4, and an X-H2s. Every time I use third-party glass I try it out again, but quickly revert back to manually focussing as that gives me what I actually want. That, or I use something like the 18-55mm; often, I need the light that an f1.4 third-party lens offers though, as I shoot a lot of BtS.
My current kit on the XH2s, is the 18-35 from sigma with the Fringer EF to Fx pro II adapter and the 75 1.2 Viltrox, oh man I Havent even wanted anymore, this lens kit is legit perfect, short wide medium and long focal lengths!
7:15 I didnt notice any exposure jumping when you zoomed like is known to happen on the fuji bodies. Is it just less noticable here? It is a known issue, and I see it all the time on my tamron 17-70.
@@CineDailies damn, so it's a lens thing and not a body thing? I thought it was how the body was compensating for vignetting or something. It may actually be that, but perhaps it was the lens not sending the info smoothly. I hope Tamron fixes it too.
Great video. I know it might not be the most popular choice but I got the 18-120mm and have loved it. It’s my go to for day to day family footage and I plan on using it for some documentary type projects. I have been holding off on getting the 13mm as I love my fuji 16mm 1.4 but it not ideal for video. I’m debating on whether going for the 13mm viltrox or the new Fuji 8mm.
My setup is the 18 1.4, 33 1.4, sigma 18-50 (GREAT walk around lens) and the 70-300 for those compressed shots …. I feel tempted to get the viltrox 13 but I don’t know if it’s too wide for me … but I might :p
@@x4da I had the 20 1.8 for my SONY - so I know the focal length, but it’s still very wide for me - I prefer 35+ and actually 85 is probably my sweet spot
Your Fuji content has been such a huge help over the past few months. Really appreciate it! If I could ask, what LUTs/transforms are you currently using with FLog2? I’m still trying to find a rec709 transform that I’m super happy with. Thanks!
I bought a Viltrox 13 for my Nikon Z50 this year and I LOVE it, except my camera doesn’t have IBIS 😫I’m planning to sell my old Nikon photography kit and an old Fuji x100t to make the switch to Fuji (xs20) and I was looking for my first lens for it. I hadn’t even thought of buying a second Viltrox… but now i can imagine with that IBIS it being stuck on my camera forever. Super wide isn’t for everyone, but i love it for my own work.
Okay, so I have a BMPCC 6K Pro that I use for commercial projects. I am looking to get a hybrid camera that would allow me to grab photos, but also film quicker content for social media utilizing smaller, quicker size and open gate. But, I won't lie to you that I am stuck between choosing the Fuji X-H2S or the Lumix S5IIX. I love my x100v, and I know some romanticism has got me longing for the Fuji, but that S5IIX has got me conflicted! What are your thoughts?
@@CineDailies Thanks for the quick response! Do you mean to ask if I have the financial flexibility to rent them before I buy them? Possibly. I’ve been filming with the BMPCC 6K Pro for a couple years now, so I’ve been creating without IBIS (though I do acknowledge that has greatly influenced the style of content I make). I think a usable IBIS would be great if it could help me tailor style decisions toward what my clients are looking for. I have never shot on FF, so I don’t know what I’m missing having only ever used APSC and S35 cameras.
@@loganarowland I often ask ppl to rent the camera(s) they want to try out rather than going off of my opinion. Since you haven't used FF before, it'll be worth renting the camera with a few lenses then compare what you like or don't like
@@CineDailies Thanks for the advice. I might be able to swing renting the camera first, and I understand your process completely. Even still, I would appreciate knowing your opinion on the choice!
Thank you for this video.👍 Also have the 13mm f1.4 and 16-55 f2.8 paired with the xh2s. although the image quality of the 16-55 is outstanding Sometimes i ask myself if the sigma 18-50 is an alternative when it comes to travel. (As it is lightweight)
Just got the 18-50mm and it's amazing. I returned the 16-55mm because it was just to heavy and bulky for my sling bag. Very impressed by the IQ of the Sigma.
@@NathanTrimbach on which camera do you use the 18-50? I already have the 16-55, as the 18-50 was not released. The imagequality is really good with the 16-55 but sometimes i wish it would be smaller.
@@erik6678 I loved the 16-55mm for image quality but I couldn't justify the weight of it. I like to hike a lot and got into Fuji for the more lightweight lenses, retro look and colors.
@erik6678 I use the Sigma often. I carry several primes and also have the 18-55mm. But the Sigma rarely leaves my camera for travel. Video is pretty good with it too.
You did a zoom with the 16-55 and I didn't see any exposure stepping... Does that lens not having the dreaded fuji exposure stepping? I'd kill for a lens with a decent zoom range that DOESN'T exposure step. I've had to use other zooms like canon for that reason with my XH2s.
Can I ask your opinion about Viltrox 13 vs 7artisans 12mm T2.9? Since you own both? I mainly do photography, so it should be evident to choose the Viltrox, but I really want to try to have a cine lens as well. However I'm a bit afraid of manual focusing it.
Have you ever used the Viltrox for live streaming? I have a XT3 and an adapted Sigma 18-35 1.8 and auto focus hunts a lot. So thinking about getting something native to see if it would be better. Thanks in advance.
@CineDailies Pleas help me! 🙏 I have xH2s and Viltorx 13. The same set you show. Yesterday I noticed that the AF speed settings had no effect. Could some other setting on the camera be causing this? I have settings in manual movie mode, AF-C and AF mode Area. I also suspect that the new 5.0 firmware in the xh2s body may cause this. Any thoughts on this?
@@CineDailies Yes, as soon as I bought this Viltrox 13mm a few months ago. The latest I found AF 13/1.4 XF V1.0.2 Firmware Update 2022-07-25 On one of the Fuji forums, someone told me that after checking, the Viltrox 75 has the same problem and the native lenses work just fine.
@@CineDailies Both on and off. I tried with most AF settings on and off, all photometry options, IBIS on and off. It has no effect. I wanted to try to hard reset the firmware, but I don't even know if it's possible.
Really enjoyed this type of review! I know both are good but is there so much difference between the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 vs the XF 16-55 f2.8? Would appreciate your thoughts about this!
Guys, I received this lens for my Fuji x-s 10 today. And when I hit the record button nothing happens... The most interesting, that when I use remote control from my phone, I can record the video and take photos, but to make a video for example, right from the camera, it doesn't work. I have a 18-55 mm lens and everything is good. Can someone tell what can it be?
Always wanted to get the 13mm for my Fuji but didn’t have IBIS for vlogging! Loved my 16-80mm other than the F4 as well! Still deciding between the X-H2s and ZV-E1 but I’m leaning towards Sony for video and Fuji for photography 😅😅😅 Love your vloggy style videos as always!!😁
I don't use the IBIS! It's never good when vlogging. You can see it in the video a little when I forgot to turn off the IBIS ha so don't let that hold you back. Ha but that's for watching!
I got the Fujifilm XT-5 when it came out and got a 23mm 1.4 prime used on ebay and literally have not taken it off since. I'm looking at that 13mm now though Ooooo baby! Great video as always man! Keep inspiring!
nice video like always, but i wonder on what kind of mount can we put or Fuji lenses, like i have a XT5 with a large park of lenses now and looking for a more ciné camera, but it seems that i am stuck with my lenses ....
So cool man, appreciate your content and just subscribed, it’s curious you talk about the 7artisans 35mm f1.2, I just got me the 35mm 1.4 and I’m just loving it, in fact it’s been on my XT-3 for the past few shoots, so anyway thanks again and keep shooting.🎥🎬
Hi, great video. What do you think of the Fujifilm 18-120mm f4 motorized zoom? The reviews there are from photographers but it is a lens designed for video. Greetings from Argentina!
On thanks god! Maybe you can help me here, so I bought the fuji xf16-55 and it’s great but, when I’m zooming in it automatically changes exposure for me but I’m shooting in full manual all the time. Do you know why? I’m using the xt4. There are several videos about this issue on TH-cam but they don’t bring solutions… thank you and I love your channel and what you do 🙏🏻
I am still not sure about the viltrox 13mm...there is a massive shaking in the corners in your clips. I own the 23mm, 33mm, 56mm and the 85mm. So I am actually an viltrox Fan 😊
Lol That's not the lens, it's the IBIS in camera. that's because I forgot to turn off the IBIS in camera. I hate using IBIS but i want going to record that part again ha
I know it's the IBIS but my hope was that the shaking with the xh2s and the 13mm is better because of the new sensor. I have the xh2s and the fuji 10-24mm and have the impression it works better. Mmhh
@@clausstahl5166 Fuji has never been good at wide angle IBIS. In fact, an adapted Canon EF-S 10-18mm OIS has better stabilization than using a native 10-24mm. Weird right.
The only thing I hate about the 13mm f1.4 is those spot flares it creates at night. They’re soo weird. I would rather have a normal flare. I guess it does help in photography, because it’s easy to remove, but for video, I hate it. BTW I’m not sure what is the difference between the focus ring of the Viltrox and the Fujinon that one feels premium and the other feels cheap, considering they both focus by wire?
I got 16-55 f 2.8 and its a great piece of glass,after the firmware update when finally its possible to make dolly zoom without exposure stepping (or way less visible stepping) i discovered another issue and i dont know it is normal or something goes wrong.When i am taking the shot and moving forwad and decreasing focal lenght or moving backward and zooming in there is no smooth transition in the frame and i dont know why it happend? Im wondering maybe IBIS causes that weird effect but after disabling it issue still remains.I am using focus servo motor on my Weebill 2 so its not caused by user error and unsmooth rotating of zoom ring,also when i am zoomin in/out without te moving camera forward backward smoothness is great.
Damn, you live in South Bend? This is just a shot in the dark but i think it be cool to kinda shadow your team on the job or something. I'm in Lake County. Been following you for awhile. Very informative
@@CineDailiesbut this lens doesn’t have threading right? How did you attach the step up ring? I’ve been wanting to use a VND with this lens for so long I got so excited seeing it was possible 😆
Fantastic video 👏🏻 I’m new to video side of things and do you think the Fuji xf18-120 is a good lens for video or are the lenses in your videos better ?
Thanks for watching! I personally didn't like that lens at all. The power zoom wasn't a great experience. I personally like the lenses because I use Them, so you should try to rent and test out what you like
I was always underwhelmed with the fuji 16-55. It didn't have a lot of personality and I always felt uninspired by the image when I shot with it. I do think people sleep on the fuji 90 f2 (probably one of my favorites) and the new 33mm is fantastic.
If there's anyone we should listen to for the best Fuji glass, it's this guy. Great recs!

@@CineDailies Both on and off. I tried with most AF settings on and off, all photometry options, IBIS on and off. It has no effect. I wanted to try to hard reset the firmware, but I don't even know if it's possible.
Really enjoyed this type of review! I know both are good but is there so much difference between the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 vs the XF 16-55 f2.8? Would appreciate your thoughts about this!
Guys, I received this lens for my Fuji x-s 10 today. And when I hit the record button nothing happens...
The most interesting, that when I use remote control from my phone, I can record the video and take photos, but to make a video for example, right from the camera, it doesn't work.
I have a 18-55 mm lens and everything is good.
Can someone tell what can it be?
Always wanted to get the 13mm for my Fuji but didn’t have IBIS for vlogging! Loved my 16-80mm other than the F4 as well! Still deciding between the X-H2s and ZV-E1 but I’m leaning towards Sony for video and Fuji for photography 😅😅😅 Love your vloggy style videos as always!!😁
I don't use the IBIS! It's never good when vlogging. You can see it in the video a little when I forgot to turn off the IBIS ha so don't let that hold you back. Ha but that's for watching!
I got the Fujifilm XT-5 when it came out and got a 23mm 1.4 prime used on ebay and literally have not taken it off since. I'm looking at that 13mm now though Ooooo baby! Great video as always man! Keep inspiring!
The 23mm 1.4 is SOLID and thanks for watching!
I NEED TO GET THE 13MM
Yes yes you do!
@@CineDailies I am using the Xh2
nice video like always, but i wonder on what kind of mount can we put or Fuji lenses, like i have a XT5 with a large park of lenses now and looking for a more ciné camera, but it seems that i am stuck with my lenses ....
The 16-55 looks like par focal when zooming in and out.. how is that? 😮 nice video btw!
Great video! If you’re looking for a 35ish AF lens for Fuji then that new 33mm 1.4 is really magic!
So cool man, appreciate your content and just subscribed, it’s curious you talk about the 7artisans 35mm f1.2, I just got me the 35mm 1.4 and I’m just loving it, in fact it’s been on my XT-3 for the past few shoots, so anyway thanks again and keep shooting.🎥🎬
You make me want to buy back my TTArtisans 17mm 1.4 for MFT that I sold to get my Rokinon 16mm. Miss how compact and full of character it was.
Nice job, I do like your style, I still have the xt3 I want to stand out with my current photography, what cinematic lens do you recommend
Hi, great video. What do you think of the Fujifilm 18-120mm f4 motorized zoom? The reviews there are from photographers but it is a lens designed for video. Greetings from Argentina!
Hey hey, thanks for watching! Honestly, I'm not that interested in that lens. So that's why I haven't tested it
On thanks god! Maybe you can help me here, so I bought the fuji xf16-55 and it’s great but, when I’m zooming in it automatically changes exposure for me but I’m shooting in full manual all the time. Do you know why? I’m using the xt4. There are several videos about this issue on TH-cam but they don’t bring solutions… thank you and I love your channel and what you do 🙏🏻
New firmware fixed that
Curious though why the Fuji 16-55mm and not the sigma 18-35mm with fringer adapter
I wanted a native mount - no fuse with adapters when it comes to making content
how do you find the manual focusing on the 16-55 2.8 to be? I've heard that some fujifilm lenses are quite jittery when manual focusing.
I am still not sure about the viltrox 13mm...there is a massive shaking in the corners in your clips. I own the 23mm, 33mm, 56mm and the 85mm. So I am actually an viltrox Fan 😊
That's normal. It's still pretty hard for most manufacturers to get it right. IBIS was never meant to be a video feature anyway.
Lol That's not the lens, it's the IBIS in camera. that's because I forgot to turn off the IBIS in camera. I hate using IBIS but i want going to record that part again ha
I know it's the IBIS but my hope was that the shaking with the xh2s and the 13mm is better because of the new sensor. I have the xh2s and the fuji 10-24mm and have the impression it works better. Mmhh
@@clausstahl5166 Fuji has never been good at wide angle IBIS. In fact, an adapted Canon EF-S 10-18mm OIS has better stabilization than using a native 10-24mm. Weird right.
The only thing I hate about the 13mm f1.4 is those spot flares it creates at night. They’re soo weird. I would rather have a normal flare. I guess it does help in photography, because it’s easy to remove, but for video, I hate it.
BTW I’m not sure what is the difference between the focus ring of the Viltrox and the Fujinon that one feels premium and the other feels cheap, considering they both focus by wire?
I got 16-55 f 2.8 and its a great piece of glass,after the firmware update when finally its possible to make dolly zoom without exposure stepping (or way less visible stepping) i discovered another issue and i dont know it is normal or something goes wrong.When i am taking the shot and moving forwad and decreasing focal lenght or moving backward and zooming in there is no smooth transition in the frame and i dont know why it happend? Im wondering maybe IBIS causes that weird effect but after disabling it issue still remains.I am using focus servo motor on my Weebill 2 so its not caused by user error and unsmooth rotating of zoom ring,also when i am zoomin in/out without te moving camera forward backward smoothness is great.
If you had to choose one, would you choose Viltrox 13mm or Fujifilm 18mm? I will shoot promotional films and create content
We finally got good weather here in Michigan 😅
We're in the same boat ahha
@@CineDailies amen 😅😅😅
I used to get the same size variable in the filter for every lens, but the thing is that it tends to vignette when you close down
Damn, you live in South Bend? This is just a shot in the dark but i think it be cool to kinda shadow your team on the job or something. I'm in Lake County. Been following you for awhile. Very informative
How did you attach a filter on the 7artisans lens??
I used a step up ring. they come in all sizes
@@CineDailiesbut this lens doesn’t have threading right? How did you attach the step up ring? I’ve been wanting to use a VND with this lens for so long I got so excited seeing it was possible 😆
@ it has threading. thats how i attached the setup ring lol
@@CineDailies I’m an idiot I kept thinking mine had no threading because the outside part is smooth 🤦. Thanks for your help!
Have you ever tried the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR? I am curious about your experience with this lens.
I have and I'm not a fan of the power zoom
@@CineDailies Thank you for the answer.
I love your content keep up the good work
Aw thank you for watching!
So you choose the VILTROX 13mm F/1.4 over the 7artisans 12mm T2.9? Great reviews!
Thanks for watching - One is AF the other is Manual. Apples and oranges
@@CineDailies thanks for your reply! But if you have to choose one based on image quality? Most of the time I shoot video MF... Cheers!
@@brianwalker9172 sure what what's good image quality for you? Sharp lenses? Or lenses with character?
@@CineDailies character 100%!
@@brianwalker9172 then I would get the 7artisans 12mm for sure
Fantastic video 👏🏻 I’m new to video side of things and do you think the Fuji xf18-120 is a good lens for video or are the lenses in your videos better ?
Thanks for watching! I personally didn't like that lens at all. The power zoom wasn't a great experience. I personally like the lenses because I use Them, so you should try to rent and test out what you like
I got the 13mm for 6 month now And its solid
It's very solid
I was always underwhelmed with the fuji 16-55. It didn't have a lot of personality and I always felt uninspired by the image when I shot with it. I do think people sleep on the fuji 90 f2 (probably one of my favorites) and the new 33mm is fantastic.
Second the Viltrox 13mm. I think they could have made it lighter but it’s quality.
It's already a light lens ha but okay
@@CineDailies it weighs more than the 20mm 1.8 G and all the Full frame Lumix primes & kit zoom
@@dccoletrain my mind goes to my cine lenses which are 2x or even 3x heavier. So any photo lens is light to me lol
Dropped this video at the perfect time. Just got an XH2S and I need some video lenses.
Yessir! Hope these was helpful
Sounds good,Adobe Podcast 👏🏼
TIL you live like an hour away from me, lol
Hahah one day I’ll have an event for us all to hang out
@@CineDailies would loooove that
One thing to fix though, you keep on saying FX while it’s actually XF 😂. Just pointing that out
LOL whoops thanks for pointing that out
ND people don't care what the weather is at all lol
😊
😁
Stick to the topic.
Thanks for telling me how to run my channel
Sigma 18-35 🫡
i don't like it.
Good to hear from you!
