    I've watched quite a few people on TH-cam now regarding Fujifilm cameras, I watch a lot from your channel and I never miss your latest ~ since you are a Fuji photographer and you give good advice. I've recently committed to Fujifilm buying the X-T5! Love the whole concept and it's brought me back my enthusiasm for photography. I've been a Nikon user for some 40 years ish. I generally use manual and always RAW. I am struggling with Fujifilm; one time my images are stunning and the next end up in the bin. This video I think might just be the answer for me. Yes I know about the crop factor (or so I thought 😢).... thanks very much

      Cropfactor on a crop body? Such a concept

    • @sexysilversurfer
      @sexysilversurfer 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Personally I’m skeptical about the crop factor as a 300mm lens is a 300mm lens no matter crop or full frame however until recently crop sensor had more pixels than FF re density which require faster shutter speeds.

    Another very useful review, Ian. One additional tip, in case it is helpful. You mentioned the concern about hanging your camera bag from your tripod as ballast in very windy conditions, since the bag can act as a sail and so reduce rather than enhance stability. Very true. One workaround I have used successfully is to leave the camera bag flat on the ground, and to attach it to the tripod hook via a heavy-duty bungee cord that is stretched taut. I carry a couple of these of different lengths in my camera bag so I can adapt to different tripod heights. In truly horrible conditions, the cords might also be attached to an even more stable anchor, like a log or a crevice in a rock. This approach has worked very well for me, even in exceptionally-heavy winds in places like Iceland and the West Coast of Ireland.

    It's probably a minimal difference in the world of handheld camera sizes, but I often use the same technique with adjustable camera tripod legs as I do with my adjustable (astronomical) telescope tripod legs: Use the largest diameter legs sections possible. Extend the larger (i.e., outer) sections first, using the smaller sections only if they're needed for the height they provide. In other words, extend from the top down, not from the bottom up. Larger diameter tubes are stiffer than small diameter tubes and will be more stable.
    Very good points and a great video.

    • @ian_worth
      @ian_worth  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I agree Len, the only time its preferable to extend the bottom section first would be when the tripod is in water, or at the beach as it stops sand/water getting into the legs 👍

    Great video thanks Ian, just one titbit on hanging your bag under, I agree it introduces shake and if I am in a position where I have to do it I use a couple of elastic loops to enable the bag to rest on the floor and not move but keeps enough weight acting on the tripod to help. I must admit I use the technique less and less with IBIS and OIS and I much prefer to get low and use an umbrella to shield the camera from the wind.

    Good advice. I've just came to the same conclusion about using a longer lens for landscape this week. I know that a shot wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't used 156mm.
    I've been having a bit of back trouble lately and have been limited how much gear I can carry without pain. While the tripod is best, I've found a light monopod is a good compromise when trying to hold a heavy camera/lens combination.
    Interesting thing about when to use IBIS. Must check my camera specs.

    Great advice Ian. Hand held landscape telephoto photography can be a bit hit and miss. One tip I would use is shooting multiple frames. Increases your chance of a keeper. I always carry a brolly with me as well when it’s forecast to rain .☔️. Bit tricky when filming as well as taking photos I should imagine? Amazing effort in these conditions. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    One of your best videos. Thank you for “keeping it real.” I liked the examples of telephoto images interspersed between the video. However, I have two questions. 1) Since you are using a crop sensor, is the posted focal lent the lens focal length to the equivalent full frame focal length. 2) I saw a 60mm “telephoto” image, and I would not normally consider that “telephoto,” unless I multiply it by 1.5. What do you consider a telephoto focal range.

    • @ian_worth
      @ian_worth  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks so much, yes they were the crop focal lengths so it would be times 1.5. I would say 70mm and above on full frame is telephoto. 👍

  • @USGrant21st

    The biggest problem with telephoto where I shoot is the heat shimmer, and there is nothing you can do about it other than trying to get to your subject closer.

  • @ssatx57
    @ssatx57 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Using a 2.5" Hoodman loupe on the live view screen zoomed all the way in to subject will get the sharpest focus possible w/ tripod or handheld.

  • @UnconventionalReasoning
    @UnconventionalReasoning 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It seems worth mentioning that the '1/focal length' guideline is usually when holding the camera like a photo camera [SLR/DSLR] rather than a mobile phone camera.

  • @opalyankaBG
    @opalyankaBG 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes, IBIS is more effective with wide and normal lenses, and becomes noticeably less effective with focal lengths past ~85mm on crop sensor. And that's where the importance of OIS comes in. To me at least, OIS is super important and helps me get away with very slow shutter speeds when shooting handheld. I was surprised to see you didn't always use a lens hood in the rain. Using that, especially with longer lenses really helps avoid getting raindrops on your front lens.

    I just bought XF 100-400 so this is good timing. So far it’s been great with the older XT3. Certainly helps that the lens has 6 stops of IS. It’s like magic and extremely sharp across the entire range (mine is anyway). Have to say though, I’m not sure its build quality is worthy of the Red badge. Exposed screws and lateral play on the zoom ring is unacceptable for a such an expensive lens. The rubber ring is uneven too. Huge amounts of fun though so no regrets…yet!

Like 1/250, 1/125th, auto iso, decent and correct aperture. Standing still. Like I was in w hurricane. Ibis on and off. On and off the tripod. Had it with the XH2, the GFX100S, 50Sii. It made me sell the system. And move to Nikon. No more issues now. I searched the forums, the internet and the manual for the issues. Turned all af related setting off and on, all ibis related settings off and on. Their firmware seems crap. Very sad. Cost me a frak ton.

    These things offer a sharp image - nothing more.
    Using a fast enough shutter speed to stop any motion, including camera motion.
    Make sure your camera is focused properly on your subject.
    Make sure the sharpness adjustment on your camera setting is set for merely adequate, which means there's never a need to crank up the sharpness setting beyond what's necessary.
    Use a lens which is the furthest away from crappy optics. Quality glass absolutely matters.
