2:48 Fujifilm has incorporated 8 elements with the lens focus group that move when focusing. Thus they have managed to minimise aberration fluctuation from infinity to MOD, by moving the aperture together with the lens focus group.
To move the focus group, a DC motor is used for autofocus. They have incorporated three bearing mechanisms with the DC motor for smoother autofocus performance. The bearing mechanics ensure highly accurate control of the DC motor.
It's a technical masterpiece. -Fujifilm
The review that I’ve been waiting for! Other youtuber reviewers content are more on the technical aspects. Wanted to see it being used on a creative shoot. I got to try it too (and the XH2) yesterday when I went to Fujifilm Philippines’ office and was amazed with the jump in performance and quality. Will be buying one before the month ends!
And as usual, amazing content and review brother!
Thanks so much Lee. As always, great review and great photos. Love it mate!
Always dope watching your videos 👏🏽
Thanks for watching :)
I was obsessed with the old one, be this one completely put the old one to bed in my opinion! So much better in every single way!
I don't even care about portraits photography and I would also be suck at it.. but looking at your photos that you are showing here and in some other videos, just left me in a wow state all along the video.Congratulation!
Great shots, model, lens and camera!
Great work and nice personality Lee!
Nice video, cool model and great photos.
I was wondering what device did You use to record screen of X-H2 ?
Thnx.
great shots. awesome edits.
Very interesting, I also saw your video about the old lens, I was really impressed by your photos. Now I bought a used old lens and am curious to see how it performs on my xhs2. I can return this lens and buy the new one too, but I'll wait to see the results first. Thanks for your Reviews
as usual...killer images and composition!
That sound reminds me of the Fujinon Xf 35mm F1.4. like always, great review!
It’s slightly quieter. But it’s not silent like the new primes unfortunately
Some amazing shots, always your synergy with Beck. Wonder if Pixel 7 Pro is coming up? Very interested in seeing your opinion and especially on taking portraits with 5X.
I just got the pixel 7 pro. Planning on shooting that video tomorrow :)
This lens does perform better than the original but the og does have an IQ I can’t explain. I’m keeping the original and this one. Now to find more XH2 content to see if it can replace the Canon R5 as my travel / outside of the studio kit - and I’m already in love with the X-H2s. If it can then I’m all in with Fujifilm… X-H2, H2s and 100s!!!!!
The pics you took are super sharp and the new camera is a crop sensor 40mp camera! This lens is way way sharper than the original to resolve all those pixels.
Absolutely the new #1 Fuji Lens. It is stunning. On my body 98% of the time now.
Your images are beautiful and inspiring.
I’ve watched and read pretty much every other review and you’re the first one to show the sound it makes. Not a dealbreaker but something to consider for sure. Have you used the 50mm 1.0? It’s so heavy and clunky but might be better for low light AF
Yep I have a review on that lens. I think I would still take the f1.2 over the 50mmf1.0
Tried that exact lens today, and I think they do. The downsides I could think of from the old lens are AF speed and accuracy in AF-C, and lack of WR, and they "fixed" those on the new one, while maintaining pretty much the same MSRP. Worth every penny IMO, especially if you don't already have the old one.
Fuji have said that the autofocus motors in the new lens are exactly the same as the old lens; the only AF speed differences you will see if in the camera itself
@@alhOOO2O That could be the case, since I tried it on the X-H2. But, I still think the tweeked it a bit, since it's quiter if memory serves me right. Have you tried the new lens?
Could you make a video to compare this lens with Sigma 56? Thank you.
Just got this today and have the same feelings you shared. Super sharp, though I expected quicker AF. And don't like the af motor nearly as much as the silent motors.
Curious behavior when hitting the preview button. I can hear the motor resetting or something. What's that about? I was thinking about this lens or the Viltrox 75mm. A good bit tighter at 75mm, but it is super sharp too, and gives fuji a run for the money in all aspects. And it's only $549 vs Fuji's $999.
Nice video, shame they didn't put LM in this release... How do you record the screen on your XH-2 while you're also shooting pics?
That fuji color is so good !
@2:39 - what's there above the upper lip ?? Artefacts or... ?
The images looked dope - the song was fire too
Thx bro. We got a few good ones. But I had to move fast because I only had like 15mins of golden hour. We started too late :p
Nice review, Lee. I’m just bought the original for less than half the newer model. While there are some improvements, I just don’t think there were enough to justify spending nearly double for me.
No worry de focusing sound, bokeh es amazing !
That new 56 isn't in my budget range. But, I was lucky enough to find a barely used V1.0 56 at a great price because the owner is upgrading to the new stuff. Love it. I think someone mentioned that the linear motors weren't used in the WR because it would have increased the size/weight too much. Not sure if that's true or not. I need to practice using the LCD to compose rather than the EVF. Do you have an tips/suggestions for shooting with the LCD? Sometimes I just can't see it well enough. Old eyes!! LOL! Cool shoot here, have a great weekend!
I prefer the evf but since making videos for TH-cam I try to use the lcd more often so it can be shown to camera. I don’t really have any tips. Crank the brightness up as high as it will go. That helps in sunlight
@@LeeZavitz I prefer the EVF as well, but I see so many on YT using the LCD I thought maybe I should try it. Today I watched a video giving reason not to use the LCD!! LOL! Have a great weekend!
I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that in order to use linear motors with some lens designs, especially with many heavy glass elements, you would have to make the lens substantially larger. If that’s so, I guess they wanted to keep the form factor familiar, and was content with the focusing speed?
Stunning! 👍🎩
All the AF comparisons I've seen online have been made on the new generation of bodies - in combo with my XP3 I'm not seeing sufficient benefit to upgrade... Now if they proceed with the 60mm OIS I will be very tempted.
How does this compare to the 50mm?
How can I turn the LCD on the camera of the XH2 my battery keeps dying out
Do you think the improved-AF is at least on-par with the Viltrox 75mm? 'Cause I'm starting to think I should get the Viltrox first and backfill this lens upgrade at a later date.
Cheers!
I’m not sure I haven’t used it. But they are 2 very different focal lengths. The newer Viltrox lenses have been awesome from what I’ve used in the past
Thanks, for this amazing review, this lens is amazing, and I think the y don't put Linear Motor, because maybe the size of the les increases dramatically, what do you think?🙃
I don’t know. Their other new versions of of primes with linear motors aren’t really any bigger. If anything they are slimmer
Which camera? Xh2 or xh2s?
"you remind me of my cat" 😂
LOL
I have the Sigma 56/1.4. Do I need this lens?
How does this lens stack up against 50 f1.0?
Any recomendation for work in pro PHOTO and VÍDEO, some sugestion?
does the fuji new X -H 2 over heat after 1hour shoot
The AF looks jumpy and front focused?
Fantastic
Would love to know the film recipe that you used for this shoot. Any pointers? I just got the 56mm f1.2 WR and trying to prep for an engagement shoot. Btw, Love your work! This video is the reason I ended up pulling the trigger on getting the 56mm lens.
I don’t use any recipe. Either just stock settings or I use my presets. The lens is beautiful you’ll get some awesome images with it!
I still have the og and it is oh so so good. Continuous af is not that great but wow the images it makes!!
I have 56 APD and I'm satisfied with it. Very sharp even wide open and super creamy bokeh.
The new one might be better but slightly bigger and heavier.
How do you record what the camera sees thru the EVF?
Using a wireless hdmi transmitter
Thanks for the video man!!👍🏻can you pair the lens with xt4? Did the lens perform the same or the lens more accurate and fast because the body?
It’s probably a bit of both the new camera af system and the new lens. If I had the older lens to test side by side that would really tell the difference
The only issue I had with the original 56mm lens was the slightly notchy focusing, and the new one doesn't address that at all.
It’s slightly smoother but not game changing better like the other new primes they came out with last year using linear motors
The old one was sharp when it nailed focus. The AF wasn't very accurate on the old one. Beautiful lens, bokeh was awesome but not the best lens like the 90mm. I just bought the Sigma 56mm 1.4 a few months ago and I'm happy with it. I'm going to skip on the 56mm 1.2 until they improve it even more.
I saw that the Sigma lenses also got an AF firmware update, would you say the sigma 56 is faster than the OG xf56?
How are you recording what the camera sees?
I use a wireless hdmi transmitter and record on my phone
@@LeeZavitz Is this an Accsoon transmitter?
Would be awesome to see a video on how you do this 😅🙌🏻
Nice vid! Do you have presets for Capture ONe?
Sorry only for Lightroom/photoshop
Lee does a Fuji lens good! (Milk does a body good) tagline rip.
How’s the tension on the aperture ring?
Feels good. I would say way more firm that the original. Similar to the new Fuji primes
There can’t be any excuses for not using the linear motor in the lens, it’s not new tech, zeiss batis range used them years ago for the Sony, the Sony 85mm 1.8 is also linear and it’s similar size and quality, very odd move by Fuji
The Zeiss Batis 85mm is the lens I miss the most from Sony full-frame… it was a stunner!
Probably a corporate decision made by some dumb production guy looking for a random corner to cut.
Waiting for Pixel 7 pro photography ❤
Waiting video with new Google Pixel😊
Can we compare this to sony a7iv interms of sharpness and no blurry in the photo. I use to have xt3 & XF50 f1.0 and I always get disappointed 😞 specially once my client see the photos.
Mainly I do e-commerce photoshoot for 50 outfit and 4 to 5 photos per outfit and my Sony a7iv + sigma 24-70 2.8 doesn't fail me not even 1 photo for 1k a click petr shoot
The autofocus is tough to nail on that lens. I will always recommend the 56mmf1.2. How many times are you really going to shoot at f1.0? It’s rare.
You can’t go wrong with the a7iv is awesome
When i use to have xf50 f1.0, I don't usually use it I stick to f4 to f5 for normal light and for Studio shoot f8 to f13. It give me the right amount of sharpness. Thank you for the video🙏 im gonna buy fuji again that's 100% I just love the feel but only hobby . Saving for Fe 70-200 f2.8 GMii then xt5 or xhs2.
Wooow Fuji x h2 very nice performance
It’s a nice little camera. It’s a big upgrade over the xt4 generation of Fuji cameras
Sir low budget which best Prime lens for portrait photography?
Maybe one of the sigma lenses. 56mmf1.4 or Fuji 50mmf2
@@LeeZavitz sir i have budget 700 dollars for lens.
33mm f/1.4 or 35mm f/1.4?
Sharp & focus quality best for photography?
Sir mainly for photography which better xt5/xh2 /xh2s
They are all good. I prefer the xh2s even though it doesn’t have has high res sensor as the other 2. It’s just a much faster camera
@@LeeZavitz which one best AF quality?
I have both the old one and the new one : the new one has much better sharpness and weather sealing, but its AF is tooooo slow and noisy, and the lens is bigger. I prefer using the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, much better lens : silent and much faster, smaller and lighter, cheaper. The other f/1.4 WR lenses from Fuji are stellar, but this one is disappoiting. They should have made a f/1.4 that is smaller, lighter, and with linear motors. I don't understand what FUji wanted to achieve with this :-(...
I'm considering lightening my camera system. I'm considering selling my Canon RF system in favor of the XH2 and the and the 56 1.2
You will gain onl on the lens weight, but you can do that also on a Canon if you go for the f1.8 lenses.
Would be awesome if they could get Sony performance with the AF. Such a bad ass system
I tried both lenses and AF speed is not significantly better (bear in mind that in this video test is done with new XH-2). If you using ilder cameras the AF is almost same.New lens is somewhat sharper but not sure if everybody looking to a sharper portrait lens, usually customer does not.
I have the mk1 versión. Test this lens. For me, i keep the mk1 and buy the 23mm 1.4 wr with the money. In this case, i dont want upgrade.
how does it compare to the nearly half priced sigma 56mm 1.4, especially the AF noise?
I’m thinking of going with the Sigma (smaller, lighter, cheaper) or the original 56. I’m still rocking the XT1.
@@brianode11 Me too, I'm currently waiting for it to go on sale during black firday. I watched some reviews and the higher price for the fuji lense, while looking better, is not worth it for me as an amateur.
@@eagletheblue The Sigma 56 is 404 in the US right now…
@@brianode11 I reside in the EU ;) but currently for me 399EUR incl. tax, about 415 USD. I'm just expecting another dip during BF.
The afc is greatly improved.. but I had lots of hunting issues on a recent shoot. Especially back lit. I hated the mki for afc, it was unusable.. this is much better but not what I’d hoped. It’s good for its compact size tho. I just wonder how Sony did it with their 85mm 1.8. It’s tiny and light with silent fast af AF and it’s full frame.
Yeah I was really hoping for similar performance to the new Fuji primes that are super quick and silent
@@LeeZavitz The new 33mm is way better, id say one of my fav ever lenses.. of any brand! i might try the 50mm 1.0.. tho I hear the AF is problematic there too.. its such an important focal length to get right!! Thanks for the reply mate
The optical formula is quite a bit different between the lenses. The 85mm 1.8 is nothing special.
@3:00 aahh H*** no 😂😂
How to understand lens original or fake?
Only buy from authorized Fuji dealers.
I didn't know that planes had horns! 😁
lol. It was like a hand glider with a propeller on the back.
@@LeeZavitz That will do, mate! A nice, cinematic plot twist, nevertheless! Haha.
The real ones stayed long enough to hear the airplane honk 😂
😂
It kind of sounds like a dot matrix printer
😂
Strange that it doesn't have the linear motor, I really hate that scratchy sound of their lenses
the 50mm f1.0 might be a better (pricier) option. Linear motors and even better bokeh
@@nickpavlou5023 damned! Thanks for correcting me!
@@TheFredolegrand I'm with you, my friend. Blatantly, Fujifilm didn't put linear motors inside their new 56mm lens, so as not to eat into the sales of the 50mm f1.0.
Found an old 56 1.2 mark 1 under $300! Steaaaal.
Older one is still best
B&H just dropped the price of the old 56mm by $300.
Nice! Yeah for awhile they were the same price lol
Sun is an unpaid lightman.😂
I can't help it, but the model's outfit is a rather strange and insensitive combination of more fashionable styles. Not suitable for this type of video shooting. Anyway, this video review is one of the good ones on TH-cam and the model is also very beautiful. 😊
best thing about this is how much cheaper you’ll be able to get the old one for. the improvements are so minimal i dont see how buying the new version for a grand is even worth it.
It’s worth it but the biggest change is mostly just Weathersealing
