With such amazing cinematography, I was shocked to click onto this video and find such a small channel! The algorithm definitely did me good today, your video quality is really good!
I agree with your comment on the 16mm f1.4 “loose” aperture ring. What I really enjoy is the close focus ability, as you are able to get some unique images. I may, at some point get the 18mm f1.4, but I am quite content with the 16mm right now. Best wishes for your channel.
Exactly what I wanted to hear. I’m trying to make the same decision. A used 16mm is so compelling. I just keep asking myself, “Is the 18mm $500 better than the 16mm?”. I feel like the 16mm is such a bargain right now. Glad to see you are enjoying yours.
Ill take the 16mm over the 18mm ANY DAY! I Love wide angle shots. To enjoy wide angle shots even more ADD a subject up close, you will then see how much fun wide angle shooting is. This will be my next lens to add to my 23mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4, 56mm 1.2, and my just recently arrived 80mm 2.8 Macro. I shoot with the X-Pro3, I am also based in NYC 💪🏽💪🏽. You got that lens at a KILLER PRICE, ENJOY it. 👍🏼👍🏼
I got mine used for 250€ it has a small scratch on the front element but it doesn't show in de images and is a treat!! my events photgrapjy went up to a different level w it. so nice!
For 2.5 times smaller sensor, a few grams lighter than FF doesn't sound reasonable enough to switch from Sony.... What other reason to choose Fuji except for 'colours' and analogue feel given that Sony has improved significantly their colour science... Besides they have amazing AF, low light capabilities and better control over DoF. If Fuji hade made it smaller and lighter and cheaper, it would have been more attempting IMHO.
I agree. If going for fast primes and flagship bodies there is a negligible difference in size and weight. However, if one is willing to compromise and there are things about fuji that someone likes,( colors, film Sims, retro styling, etc) then there are options from fuji that make sense and there will be a noticeable difference in size and weight. Such as the f2 primes and the xt30 or 50.
@@randallherreraNyc Nikon z 40 f2 is the same weight even if it's made of plastic. I think sony have similar size f2. 5 lens. With a body like A7C, there is almost no difference in size and weight...

I'm really enjoying the 16.. but I'm still really curious about the 18mm

Definitely a great lens! Awesome video, Randall!

@@evtimstefanov8377 sony sure is making it tough for fuji to claim apsc being lighter and smaller is the reason to switch.
