Thanks! It’s definitely worth checking out! However I’m considering selling mine since I enjoy the WR and AF from my Fuji 27mm + this is taking up too much of my lens budget 🤣 I’ll check out a more budget option next time- just ordered a kamlan 28mm f1.4 for $80 👀
@@AndrewTakahashi I guess one option is to use one of the AF lenses with faster mortors. If you go in settings and set AF turning to linear (default is nonlinear where how far it moves depends on speed) that's still fairly reasonable.
The distance scale is so small and squished together. I wonder how helpful it is. Is the focus throw super short? It would be nice if the throw was close to 180 degrees.
That’s a good point! It’s helpful for traditional street photography zone focusing (at f8) but for any wider aperture, I’d use the Fuji’s manual focus assist. I usually use the FOCUS PEAK HIGHLIGHT RED(HIGH) setting on my X-T5. The throw is pretty long for such a compact lens, but it’s not a full 180 deg - it looks closer to 135 to me
The lack of WR is really my biggest gripe with the lens 😒 Luckily it does appear to resolve the full 40mp sensor. But tbh I haven’t done extensive testing, it just looks slightly sharper than the Fuji 27mm
Honestly I’m considering selling the lens because of that. I just used it for a vacation and the images were great, but it’s only one stop faster than my Fuji 27 that has AF and WR. I just ordered a kamlan 28mm f1.4 ($80) tho so I’ll see if that’s a better fit.
I personally had the Kamlan and now i've the voigtlander. My feeling is that the second one is much more fun to shoot with. IQ doesn't justify the price différence though. I'm debating whether to get the Big viltrox to get AF and top sharpness on this focal lenth
@AndrewTakahashi in the video you literally stated " i wanted to slow down my photography" and weather resistance doesn't truly matter unless you have the xh or gfx models because none of the other models are genuinely wr
The voigtlander has good micro contrast, but I’ll be honest - I can’t definitely say it’s better than the Fujifilm lens. I’ve only used the Fuji lens with a pro mist filter, so it’s not a fair comparison (the pro mist reduces contrast).
Thanks! The heavily cropped images in the beginning are from my first week with this lens, but I’ll have full size images in the full length video that’s coming soon (1 month review)

Damn that's a very efficient review. I'm eyeing it for similar reasons, I'll have to save up for it first though.

The lens has contacts so you can use a digital scale aswell
It’s a shame that it’s not weather and dust resistant 😒 does it resolve the 40 MP of the X-T5?

The lack of autofocus is the deal breaker. I have the 27mm fuji on my xt20. Makes it the perfect small and compact camera for shooting on vacations

@@AndrewTakahashiinterested to hear your thoughts on that kamlan lens once you've had some time with it :)

Does it have a better redition than the fuji? Looking for a manual lens that has a good micro contrast / 3d pop

@AndrewTakahashi pro mist is only for amateurs, glimmer glass or cine bloom are superior
Nice, any sample images?
