@@jmtphotographymedianew to photography, so just wanted to understand the "not so fun" portion, do you mean that prime lenses given it's set focal length, you have to be more creative?
I want Fuji to give us the original 35/1.4, but weather-sealed. I love the 35/2, but it lacks the character of the 35/1.4 (and the 33 is too large/heavy, IMO).
Unfortunately, it is difficult to weather seal the 35f1.4 due to the focus group design. But it would be fantastic if they somehow managed it with an updated motor.
Agreed. The 35f1.4, 14f2.8, 60f2.4, and 18-55f2.8-4 have really special rendering. The first three make a great prime kit, but you can get away with only the zoom in a pinch.
My travel kit is the 16mm f/2.8 and the 27mm f/2.8 pancake - because the pancake is so small and light and unobtrusive. I'm considering bringing my 50mm f/2 as well next time.
I think you've convinced me to go with this setup. Europe has potential for beautiful wide angle shots where the 10-24 would excel in lit interior and during the day. You have the 50mm for medium range and darker situations, and then the 70-300 for capturing distant subjects. Heavier than this reel but not a super heavy setup. Optimal too. .
Pretty much the same travel setup. 10-24, 35 1.4 and 55-200 instead since the 70-300 wasn’t available yet. Covers pretty much everything. Only for Astro the wide angle is lacking.
It is better than the 35mm f2. The 35mm f2 has a big problem with autofocus in contrasty situations, the focus breathing is so bad it is almost a zoom lens.
I need some suggestions hopefully you can help! I currently have the xpro 3 with a 27mmf2.8 and i would like to purchase another on hand to take it with me. I've been debating whether to get a 35mm or a 16/23mm. The 27mm makes it feel like I'm stuck right in the middle and its a tough decision! I tend to like taking landscapes and buildings around town/places I go to. Would love to hear some suggestions!
I would get the 16mm f2.8 and the 35mm f1.4. The 23mm f2 WR is a great lens, but it is too close to the 27mm. Maybe sell the 27mm and get the 16mm, 23mm, and 35mm.
This video exclusively convinced me to buy the Xt5 along with the Fuji 16mm 2.8, sigma 23 1.4 and 50mm. I took them on my trip through Italy and Spain last week and OMGGGG it did not disappoint one bit!!! I find myself dreaming about pictures and portraits! lol Thank you my friend!🙏🏼
@@JustinIkeda thats a perfect setup! Dont worry about the 16mm aperture! Its more than enough ! Even in some night scenarios! And also dont be afraid to stop down your aperture to 4-11! Youre gonna get great shots just as long as shutter speed isos are balanced out! Enjoy your trip!
@@JustinIkeda also, if you own all three then take them with you! Lol its going to give you a little bit of versatility. If…if…i had to repeat the trip again, i would have probably gotten a zoom lense and my 23mm (35 equivalent). I had the 23mm on my about 90% of my time in europe. I used the 16mm for street and landscapes and the 50mm which is 75mm equivalent was used for portraits.
Few months ago I bought 2 others second-hand lenses the 50-140mm and the 80mm f2.8. Beautiful and solid metal lenses and produce really sharp images. Just waow 📸📸
@@idjunaidy I really like the magic but I mostly don't use it because the colour and contrast doesn't match the other lenses. So it always frustrates me for a little while trying to figure out the jpeg settings again. 😅
What camera do you recommend. I need a camera for photography that will give edge to Sonys FF GM and Zeiss line up. I love small compact camera pro or mid pro category but does give the essence of fujifilm tech that can’t be found on other camera brands. Loving small format nowadays.
@@hughjohns9110 Absolutely, landscapes don't always have to be captured with wide-angle lenses. However, they also don't necessarily require telephoto lenses. The two lenses I mentioned offer versatility across various genres, including landscapes. Their small and compact design makes them particularly convenient for travel photography.
@@AndreiDimaReviews it seemed a lot shorter than I thought it is. Definitely I should visit a local store to have it in my hands next to the X-T50 when available later this year

The 18mm f/2 and the 35mm f/1.4 combo is good too, isn't it? Advantage is the f/2 and the compact pancake size. Disadvantage is the slower AF. I guess it depends on one's preference for 24 vs 28mm (FF) FOV...

when i travel i bring with me my xpro 3 and 6 lenses haha
Right 👍🏻 Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 is also a good, single and compact alternative to multiple lenses for travel photography.
Indeed it is!
Its good but sometimes i miss the bokeah/portait using 18-50 f/2.8.
Looking for some good portable alternatives to replace my viltrox 75 f/1.8

XF 35 mm F 1.4 is slow, old and expensive. instead go for the XF 35mm f2 or the XC 35 mm f2 if you are in a budget.
It is better than the 35mm f2. The 35mm f2 has a big problem with autofocus in contrasty situations, the focus breathing is so bad it is almost a zoom lens.

I take a fringer with a sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and a XF 56mm prime. All I need.
how about 35/1.4 and 14/2.8?
That is a good combo if you don't care about AF speed. The 14mm is bigger and slower.
