    Firstly, I do not comment on YT videos... I came across Eren's channel few days ago. My mind is blown. His work is incredible, absolutely love his storytelling, passion, dedication and the mood of it all. Don't even need his presets, but bought it just to support him and his great work. I only shoot mobile, but learned so much, thank you!

    I've had this lens for many years and it still impresses me.
    One thing mentioned but not expanded on in the video is that that manual focus clutch, once pulled back reveals a comprehensive DOF scale which makes easy hyperfocal settings for deep focus landscapes and cityscapes. This was the way to work for decades before autofocus and once mastered will give consistent and repeatable results with no guesswork.

      Very true! so much better than the manual focusing on most new Fuji lenses too

    Eren - you understated this lens dude - it's absolutely phenomenal. Many of the best images on my website and portfolio were taken with this lens - over many years. It is absolutely brilliant the way you can get right into somebody's face, get it in focus and still blur the background. I wish I had never sold it. However, I had to get out of Fuji XF for all my paid work and paying customers. I found for weddings and gigs and my events work, (particularly low light), the RAF files just couldn't 'cut the mustard'. I'm with a FF system and the 24mm 1.8s lens I use, is magical, but it's shaped like a toilet-roll with about the same ergonomics. Man, I miss that gorgeous lens.

    Nice footage....as always Eren. Also, I really like your down to earth style when it comes to reviews.
    Since shooting with Fuji, I really love how the system has turned me from being a photographer to a hybrid shooter. It's pretty much become a natural routine to exchange the "movie and stills" switch back and forth on almost every shoot. It's so much fun.

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice one. Yes this lens is a gem, one of the first I bought for the Fuji system. I use my Sigma 18-35 mostly these days but the 16/1.4 stays (sometimes 2mm matters!). I find myself liking 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio shots a lot with this lens. I would love for Fuji to add more crop modes, some lenses just sing better than at the standard 3:2.

    Just a thank you for all your posts this year. When you first posted a review on the 56mm f/1.2 a long time ago I bought one, I've been using the 35mm f/1.4 since I bought my X-Pro 1 and X-T1 from new. It's interesting you now use both. You've changed my way of looking at London, I too now go out in the rain. Oddly I sold my V recently, preferring my T1. I can't thank you enough, you've been an inspiration to me and the way I now see things. Please keep posting, may I wish you a successful and prosperous new year.

    Another wonderful video! I absolutely love this lens but when it came out it was too expensive…so purchased the f2.8 version and love that too. I would be interested to see your opinion on the two lenses since I know you have used the f2 line of lenses in the past. Also, do you feel the old 1.4 works well with the new 40mp cameras? Thank You.

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  ปีที่แล้ว

      I pretty much always use old lenses on the 40mp sensor and haven't run into any issues at all. I still think the 2.8 is great, and the size makes it much easier to carry too. The 1.4 is better but also larger and heavier too.
