Photography KZfaqrs : LEICA M11 Why you should buy one Camera conspiracies: Fuji 70 - 300 the best vlogging lens ? 😂 don’t change

I got Fuji 70-300 and its a briliant piece of glass. Always sharp, fast and reliable. I am love it !

Try the Fuji 70-300 with the 1.4 TC too. It’s a lot slower, but for its size is a magic alternative to the 100-400.

I’m loving you social commentary and sense of humor. Keep up the great work!

In your very particular way of presenting the content, I liked it and I probably go for Fujinon 70-300. Thanks, man!!!

That was a great review! I like that you touched on how the flaws may be subjective depending on what you're using the lens for.

I've watched 1 million of your video's and this is the first one I've fully understood and fully agreed with - even the pizza for dinner. Thanks for dummying it down for me. I will now watch your next 1 million videos and will once again pretend I know what u r talking about.

Thank you!!! Finally someone finally did a review that gave us real answers!!! I was looking for a longer lens. Than the 55-200 .. and the Fuji always locked on so amazingly.. your the first one that actually talked about how it compares on the long end ..You rule!!

That is absolutely woeful focus speed and stabilization, but impressive sharpness for that range. Looks like a great all in one lens for static shots though.

Sony should feel alright about this. Tamron was the unstable one in the relationship after all 😂

In Canada, we have octangular stop lights - not green/amber/red lights, just like a reflective octangular placard with the word STOP on it.

Well done. Thanks for this review, I was just wondering which lens would be better as a photographer and you helped me make my decision. I like the all in one of the 18-300 for my full spectrum xt4.

My first time watching a camera conspiracies video, subbed halfway through! Loved this style.

Thankyou for this. 1. You saved me wasting money on that earthquake tube. 2. I kept watching just for the jokes.

Clicked for a lens review / comparison and stayed for a very entertaining video, your sense of humor is great :D

Love your content. Not a lot of people can blend humor and technical details. You are unique. Thanks for the information and also for making me laugh. "Tamron/Tampon" 😭

Exposure jumps, jitter, change of white balance mid-shot (2:45)... I felt transported to a different era, when CC knew nothing and we learned nothing...

The most requested lens comparison of this time!

Love the new music

Just tested the Tamron 18-300 E-mount for Sony ZV-E1 on Dynamic Active Stability with 1.1 X Digital Zoom. Works amazing! Super stable even with walking. The crop is perfect with no vignette. This would be my all in one set-up and I don't have to worry about low light since the ZV-E1 is great at that.

Looking at it from an a7 IV perspective, the Tamron 18-300mm could be a perfect lens with crop mode that is already with in 4K@60fps.

I love this review. Made me laugh a bunch of times throughout. Great comparison. I'm trying to decide between the 2 and I'm going with the Fujifilm.

The Fuji is made with gold and platinum nanotubes. Every shiny surface in each image looks slightly metallic and therefore more beautiful

Great review, and a funny one at that. Loved it!😄

Fuji definitely looks better to me, not sure it is worth giving up 18-69 focal length though

Are you sure that there isn't some switch to enable stabilization on the Tamron lens? I cannot imagine it being any worse with it off!!!!!

Man, if half the KZfaqrs were not taking themselves as seriously as you do, KZfaq reviews would be a lot more fun to watch! Thanks for the comparison. I definitely don't want the 18-300mm anymore, for now.

I'm going to like all the videos you do where you prefer Fuji 🙂

I found the stabilization to be horrible as well, until I switched IS mode to "continuous" from "shooting only". Great lens after that (although I'm a stills photographer so can't comment on video).

I'm a Canon shooter but your channel makes me want to learn about why I'm a canon shooter.

I have the 70-300 and I like it. The stabilization is one of my favorite things about it but there are a few annoyances. It is soft. You can't really crop any photos. Also no ois switch on the lens and you catastrophically lose focus when you zoom. The size/weight/range of the thing is awesome tho...

Exactly at 8:15 a blue car is passing by in the background simultaneously to both split screens.

The rare video sample of Fuji 70-300mm. Thanks.

You have such a unique sense of humour (+ the fuji love); another great video :)

The Fuj! 😂 that made me crack up for some reason. Great video. I just got this lens today after a six month wait.

4:04 me every time I'm out taking photos

You actually go out and take pictures, unlike people who sit in their room to do telephoto zoom lens review.

After use the Olympus ibis..., no return my friend.

I have the nikon Z50, and am looking for a better lens for wildlife than the 50-250 dx. I'm considering the 24-200, which would be a 36-300mm equivalent. I feel like the little bit of extra versatility at both ends would mean I wouldn't be needing to switch lenses as much for wider shots, and have a little more reach on the long end which would be nice for just carrying one lens when hiking. The only thing I can't decide is if I'd rather just go straight for a dedicated lens for wildlife in the same price range like the tamron 100-400, which should be a 150-600 equivalent. Wouldn't be as good for hiking, but I'll probably end up with both, so it's just a matter of which I would pick up first.

Perfect as usual lol. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Fuji 18-135mm.. the Sony 18-135 is impressively light so good for travel photography (not great for video)

I'm going to describe the magic feel to the fuji lens: Low contrast, slight green blue tint that looks cyan.

Really want the fuji 70-300mm! But it's out of stock everywhere 😰

I thought you hated the XT4, I'm so confused.

This Tamron is going to make all other zooms obsolete. This is the only lens anyone ever needs.

lol nice review ! yeah a little disapointed .. I think we all ( Fuji users ) hope that this lens will change everything... as you said this is they first x-mount so not bad for a first time ;p

Is this some kind of Fuji cripple hammer happening here? Because on Sony version of Tamron 18-300 stabilization works just fine.

I sold my fuji 50-140 and I'll be buying the 70-300 once they start showing up on the used market.

Sony owns part of Tamron, Sony gets paid no matter what.

I love the 70-300,very nice and good lense:)

Never thought i'd have this fun watching a review video ahaha awsome vid btw Just a question, photography wise, specially with surf photography, do they both have the same zoom/range or whatevers the right word for it at 300mm?

Me: Oh there's a used Tamron 18-300mm X Mount in the marketplace Watched your video. Me: Ok i'll pass.

Wait, did I hear you say the word "beautiful" and "Fuji" in the same sentence? I do love the 70-300 on my X-T4.

ahhh the "Tonneh" 🙂

Tamron has Parkinson disease

Are your shirts S or XS?

Nice review! As a videographer, maybe it's time to shift to the Sony ecosystem. Vastly superior auto-focus in the a6700, very good built-in image stabilization, and the newest sensor works great with the speed limitations of the Tamron. You will appreciate Sony's advantages as their auto-focus takes a back seat to no-one. One KZfaqr posted a great comparison between the Tamron and the Sony G 70-350mm equivalent, and the Tamron proves to be quite compelling, particularly given its versatility.

Got the feeling I was watched weird Al Yankovich but for cameras! lol

Best review so far

Manual focus - which is sharper? Er, the one you nailed focus on? 🤦🏼‍♂️

This was the best review!!! 😊😊😊

Definitely helped me make my mind up! Broski you don't have a "Thanks" button so I can buy you a coffee for your ridiculous efforts in the cold!

So the 18-300mm is awesome as long as you have a body with IBIS.

Toneh balls. Looks like the background of credits in a '70's movie. Or it's a condition of not 'releasing the shutter'.

"Oh the cinematic journey..." Hahahahahaha

I have eye and brain wobble from watching that Tamron 😵‍💫

Funny as ever and a great camera gear video. Very cool analysis. 👍

I think the stabe issues are the biggest reason not to buy the Tamron. If you only shot photos, or shot on a tripod, I'd consider it. But that shakiness renders it useless for video. Maybe it could work with IBIS, DIS and BOOST!?

Hmm, should I wait for Tamron to bring their 17-70 2.8 to X-Mount, wait to see what Sigma might make, or pick up a used Fuji 16-55 2.8? Currently have the Fuji 16-80mm and 16mm 2.8 for video.

i love my 70-300.

Haha, very funny review, made me laugh - and getting the information which I should buy - thank's

Lol love the humour mixed into a grear video.

Dude your so funny :D Thank you for doing this for us

"Looks like it's pizza tonight." That's what she said. No, really -- that *is* what she said!!!!

The Fuji X-T4 has IBIS. wouldn’t the results be the same if stabilization is independent of the lens? I’m probably lacking some knowledge on this, but it seems like if the body is doing the work, the lens OIS would just confuse things..

Love my Tamron 18-300 on Fuji very sharp and colours are pleasing.. Handheld the IBIS works well on XT 1 and X S10. Thanks for the comparison. Auto focus is awesome too

When will they make 28 75 for fuji

With a gimbal do you think the tamron would be tolerable?? Or does sigma have some magic glass that I should Take a look at in the same ball park as far as zoom range, sharpness, and overall quality.

Harsh Polish winter prohibits me from getting out with my Tamron. It may freeze to death

Why get an 18-300 on an interchangeable lens camera in the first place?

Tamaron 18-300mm or XC 50-230mm ois 2 which lens produce better image quality?

For someone who sold the X-T4 you sure do borrow it alot fr subsequent vids LOL. Good Stuff 😆

I have the Sony E mount version of that lens and it NEVER loses focus like that.

Is there a flat low light winter Canada 🇨🇦 lens?

Tamron- did something changed with AF or stabilization after any firmware update?

I love your videos :D

So how does a Panny Boy with a 14-150mm perform in comparison :-)

Nice image, stab and focus so so

Did you get a pre production model? The B&H link says it's coming soon.

Let me know when you find out why Grimace is hanging out with green hat 🤔

Tamron has good quality glass but not if you need IS. My full frame 150-600 G2 was OK for stills with Canon cameras (both DSLR and mirrorless) but unusable for video, just like yours. The native Canon RF 100-500 is so much more stable it's not funny. It's also sharper, which it better be for $2800 USD. I'll never buy Tamron again. Not that they make anything for RF. If Sigma make anything for Fuji, I'd like to see how that looks.

Canada Mounted Police 4:26?

Dude; You are a Hoot!

Keep dissin’ those Tamrons and make them cheaper for those that know the difference ;)

Fuji if you want 300mm, the color was better too.

Hi Casey, thanks for being in the forefront of reviewing gear we will never buy. I am doing a summer trip with my college friends to Greece, and I will be making a video documenting the whole thing. I will be taking my iPhone 12 with a phone gimbal to do the vlogging portion. And to capture the cinema I will be taking my gh5 with the lumix 12-35mm f/2.8, lumix 35-100mm f/4-5.6, and a sigma 30mm f/1.4 for toneh. I have a budget of give or take $500 (American) to add either an action cam or a small drone that I can carry with me on a daily basis. Should I buy the drone and use our phones as action cams for the water related stuff, or should I place my budget on a decent drone? If you recommend the action cam, considering we want it for water related stuff, should I get the dji action cam or the go pro hero 10? Last thing, if you were to do the same trip with your friends, what camera and lenses would you take? Please give me your American affiliate links for the reccomended products

My god, these videos are so funny

No pretending reviews 👍👍👍

Great review Kasey 👍 Tamrod sucks and Fudi lens is better

Is that what you call a stoplights? Interesting…
