My Most Used Lens - The Fujinon XK20-120mm T3.5 Cabrio Lens

- Like many documentary filmmakers, I also had quite a few lenses I would switch between while filming on the job, but on a solo shoot in Mozambique it became apparent that it was time to take the plunge and invest in a decent cine lens that could capture a good focal range. After many months of research, I took the plunge and bought the Fujinon XK20-120mm T3.5 Cabrio Lens, which was an absolute game changer! So I hope you enjoy my video on how the lens has suited me and the jobs I’ve worked on the past year and as always, if you have any questions or critiques, drop a comment or email me at hello@garthdbaustin.com

Some of the most clean and crisp shots I’ve seen coming out of the 12k, almost like they’re disobeying the laws of TH-cams compression algorithms. Incredible work mate!
well said!
Haha thanks bro. Hopefully the export settings work for you too
Man, your editing and music selection always brings tears to my eyes. No kidding. Simply love your style…
Thank you soo much, I try and keep the videos feeling causal but I do love music and brining some emotion to the videos.
Really appreciate your comment!
Really great work my friend. I personally love the Fujinon line of glass and like some of the other high end lenses it has its own character/signature. Continue your great work my friend.
I totally agree! I love the look they have!
Will do, thank you.
Great work! I also shoot with the Ursa 12K, over the shoulder most of the time. A few other strategies I use for weight balance, primarily so I'm not creating neck pain: A) Shark Fin 2 Batt's off the back, B) Add a 5lb counter-balance off a set of 6" inch rails on the back. I like this, because it's not much weight but the leverage creates a tremendous amount of stability, and I can easily dump it if it gets in the way. Costs very little. 3) Easy-Rig with about 5-10lbs of support, so there is enough weight to create stability, but also enough support to help me get through long weeks. / All the best.
Easy rigs are great for a lot of shoots, unfortunately I’ve found them to get in the way more than help in the type of work I do. Now the shark fin plate is a great piece of gear that I’d love to get my hands on. More weight on the back is always good and hot swapping batteries is the way to go.
The way my rig is set up, I’ve moved my shoulder plate much further forward along with the top handle. If I add a shark fin plate and two batteries I think I’ll be sorted for weight distribution 👍 thanks for the idea bro!
Excelent review with even better footage!
good to see a new Fujinon XK video up!
I’m surprised by how few there are, it’s an incredible lens.
@@GarthDeBrunoAustin im looking for a zoom now for my F55. trust me this one is a contender, pretty its spot to lose. also looking at Zeiss LWZ2 15.5-45, Arri Alura 15.5-45, maybe a Angie 30-80mm but for some reason i keep thinking Fuji
@@derrwolf a buddy of mine just picked up the 19-90. A little expensive but an incredible lens from fujinon
@@GarthDeBrunoAustin definitely seen some of those floating around. but in the used market i have seen the 20-120 and 19-90 in about the same price range. would take the 20-120 preferably
Thanks for the information I really like your video.
Love seeing a DP with a curated setup that optimizes his workflow. Looks like you found yours! (For now 😂)
Always looking for little tweaks to the setup but overall the camera, lens and shoulder mount work well for me. Thanks for the comment
Amazing shots, lens looks incredibly sharp
Thanks for the comment!
One can always count on you to deliver! Looks good
Amazing content, thanks for doing this
Brilliantly edited and great insights. Thanks Garth.
f3.2 is super fast for a 20 to 120mm holly cow! i need that
It is pretty awesome but still not as great as their new lens, the almighty 24-300 is a T2.9 😇
Wonderful video
Amazing footage man. I don't understand how you get so little chroma noise in your images, especially in low light conditions. I have the 12K OLPF and denoising is a big step in the post process of everything I capture no matter the lighting conditions. Stoked to watch your next video!
I might have a solution for you. I’d like to send you the LUT that I’ve made for myself which I use on every shoot. Send me a DM on insta and I’ll get you a copy of it for testing 👍
I really loved the first video you dropped about this lens, this second one is also a real pleasure for the eyes.
Would you recommend using it with a smaller camera ? BMCC 6k FF for example ?
Thank you soo much!
I’d only recommend it if you got the servo motor hand grip with it. Then you could kinda hold it infront of you and zoom with ease. But realistically without a shoulder kit or a an easy rig this lens will wreck your back. It’s also not a full frame lens, so it will have some vignetting.
If you use it on the FF. You can get PL expanders but they are very pricey
This lens on a pocket 6K pro is my A Cam. Lives most of it's life on sticks, with another pocket 6K pro as B Cam shooting with primes most of the time. Highly recommend it. A good shoulder mount kit and EVF make it nice on the shoulder, as long as you are familiar with the obstacles of using a pocket 6K shoulder mounted.
Excellent content and beautiful footage. I would have kept watching if it was 2 hours.😅
Great video! Have you ever considered the Canon 25-250mm or renting the new Duvo 24-30 like you said in your video! The price though is astronomical! I’m thinking in getting one of those two lenses . Still undecided
It's a damn shame what happened to your lens kit! Unbelievable. I hope you had your insurance cover that kind of insanity.
I had insurance but they didn’t cover it because it was in transit, some stupid fine print clause. Time to change insurance companies 😅
@@GarthDeBrunoAustin the only choice left is breathing excercises 🙄
