Best review I've seen on this lens. I'm using this 50mm F1.0 with X-T5 almost every day and totally agree that no declick option for the apperture ring is pain
It's funny that I've had this lens for two weeks now but haven't used it yet because I sent off my camera body for repair till next week. For now I can only admire the build quality.
The only negative of this lense is the weight, its as heavy as a Nikon D750+18-300mm. But shooting at f1 is magic to my eyes! lol! Every photo is so sharp and the background melts away straight jpeg no edits. I only have 2lenses, XF50mmf1 which is always at f1 and the Samyang 12mmf2 which is always at f11. lol!
yes, I agree, the weight of the 50mm F1 lens is really a bummer, but the amount of optics/glass elements in the lens really delivers super good image quality.
I have the 50 F2 and find it quite adequate enough to take any photos and with separation. Not only is it smaller and lighter I can photograph with one hand, something I don’t think I could do with the 50 F1. I suggest people check both of them out before spending all that extra money and carrying that weight. One man’s opinion who has photographed with Fuji for the last 10 years.
I disagree, I think people should buy the f/1 lens without checking out any other lenses. Then when they realise it is too heavy for them, they should sell it to me used for a very nice price.
Thank you for watching! For video lens, you can go for the 10-24mm f4 and 16-80mm f4 if you are a documentary shooter, run and gun. If you need prime lens for video, you can get the 18mm F1.4, 23mm F1.4, and the 33mm F1.4. These 3 prime lenses are good in AF-C performance for video.
Thanks for the video it was quite interesting and informative! But I have a question as a beginner. How do you take photos at F1.0 in bright daylight with only 1/250 shutter and 1600 ISO that don’t overexpose? 😅 shouldn’t it be overexposed with these settings? Yesterday I shot with 56mm f1.2 and in daylight the shutter speed is always like 1/8000 or even higher to get decent exposure😅
@@derpyderp2516 with a lower shutter speed, I can get motion blur in pictures and video. For pictures, motion blur is useful for capturing light trails and movements. For video, you need to shoot at 1/48th shutter speed for recording 24fps video
Auto focus is not good for sports or fast moving subjects ,hit rate is no good in low light theater shoots and sports ,this lens is made for portraits and slow down shooting like portraits
Totally agree. It's really difficult to bring out for casual portrait shoots, and I prefer using the vintage 50mm F1.2 lenses on the Fuji, to get shots with creamy bokeh.
Best review of this lens I’ve seen. Really logical and fair
Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching my review! The 50mm F1.0 can produce really nice looking images on the 40 megapixel sensor!
Amazing video! Such great B roll
thank you for watching!
One of my favorite fujinon prime lens! Hehe lovely shots you've got there! Great !🤩😍
It's indeed one of the most well made lens with superb image quality from Fujifilm
You deserve a lot more followers.
Great review! I enjoy shooting with XF 50mm f1.0 on my X-Pro3
Really appreciate your honest review on this lens! Thanks 🙏
Thank you for watching!

@@movichris you are welcome hris. i search cameras actually. n i interest for X-S10 i thiink
I keep coming back to this video. I really love your cinematic style.
Is the video from 4:49 shot on autofocus or manual focus. Thanks
it's shot on autofocus, I set it to single point focus with afc
Looks like a great lens. And very nice post colors too.
thanks for watching! the footages are color graded with FilmConvert Nitrate
It's funny that I've had this lens for two weeks now but haven't used it yet because I sent off my camera body for repair till next week.
For now I can only admire the build quality.
Hope you can use the lens with your fixed camera body soon!!
@@movichris Got my camera back and I'm loving this lens so much. It's awesome.
Amazing footage and review!

Great review .. please can you tell me how you connected your camera with phone when you record video i see your phone as screen
Amazing shots
Thank you for watching!
Anything use this with manual focus at 1.0? Sounds difficult to do to a newbie like me
What’s your color grading technique ? Love the first few shots there… amazing color.
I use FilmConvert Nitrate to color grade the footages shot in Eterna 10bit
That’s absurdly sharp for F1.0
The af speed, image quality and bokeh at F1.0 is really spectacular, no other brands are on par with this Fuji large aperture lens
Thank you for the wonderful review. I just want to know if what gimbal did you use for xt4 and xf 50mm f1 combo? Thank you
I use the DJI RSC 2
I have the 50 F2 and find it quite adequate enough to take any photos and with separation. Not only is it smaller and lighter I can photograph with one hand, something I don’t think I could do with the 50 F1.

One man’s opinion who has photographed with Fuji for the last 10 years.
The 50mm F2 is a really nice lens for its size, good image quality, and satisfying background blur.
I disagree, I think people should buy the f/1 lens without checking out any other lenses. Then when they realise it is too heavy for them, they should sell it to me used for a very nice price.
Very helpful video, I have the XT4 and also live in Hong Kong. Any recommendations for a good video lens for the x system?

@@movichris thanks for the info, I have the 16-80 which seems like an all rounder. Will look at the primes you mentioned as well.
Wish the Fuji XT4 had unlimited recording internally like the Panasonic Camera's and Sony Camera's
Hi Chris, what brand and type of glimbal you are using?
I use the DJI RSC2
great review-!! :$

thanks for watching! I use ND filter to cut the light and shoot at a low shutter speed while keeping the f-stop at f1.0.
@@movichris that makes sense! thanks for your answer!
can you tell what the benefit of a lower shutter speed in this case is?

Auto focus is not good for sports or fast moving subjects ,hit rate is no good in low light theater shoots and sports ,this lens is made for portraits and slow down shooting like portraits
totally agree, this lens is perfect for slow shoots, it's like how you shoot with a film camera.
This lens is expensive and heavy and also kills the benefits of apsc mirrorless...
Totally agree. It's really difficult to bring out for casual portrait shoots, and I prefer using the vintage 50mm F1.2 lenses on the Fuji, to get shots with creamy bokeh.
