*UPDATE* There is a typo on the graphics at the end. I do not shoot with the 35mm 1.4. That was supposed to say 23mm 1.4.

Lovely tour through your lens collection. I enjoyed all the images as well as the thoughtful narration!

Thank you for your in depth reviews over the years. You and many others jump-started my Fuji journey 2 years ago. Thank you!!

By far my favorite Fuji review video I have ever watched! Beyond helpful and inspiring. Your reviews/explanations on each lens REALLY helped me make decisions on future fuji purchases. THANK YOU!

Thanks for making the overview. It’s a really useful collection review.

Thanks Andrew. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to you talk about lenses and cameras. I like your explanations. You have made different choices than I, and that's okay. It makes sense.

Loved the music and drama for the 16mm 1.4. Totally agree. I took more photos with that lens last year than any other. I love this lens.

Wonderful video, loved the amount of great photos you've taken over the years.

Really love the work you do. It's ultra informative and inspiring!

Love watching your videos and see so many familiar scenes. I'm here in St. George and you capture it so well.

Happy Fuji-versary!!!! 4 years! I am a few months away from my 4years and also still loving the system. I have the 16f1.4, 35f2 and 50-140 f 2.8 for all the same reasons as you have stated. All phenomenal. I had 56 and 90 at one point and loved them too but ended up replacing them with 50f2 and 80mm macro. Found the smaller size of 50 and wr served me better and it is no slouch. 80mm ..I just love the details and the ability to use the 1.4x TC makes it more versatile than the 90 alone, granted not the same level of bokeh. I also have the 27f2.8 cuz...love pancakes, love the near pocket-ability and also...that 40mm FF equivalent is just kinda special. I also have the 10-24f4 and that guy I waffle about keep or sell...a lot. It is nice to have it, but not often used. All these paired with x-t3 keep me excited about shooting and that is the biggest reason I love Fuji. Just the joy it gives me. Keep up the great Andrew work and be safe.

Great content bro. Thank you. I’m just getting back into photography after a 20 year hiatus. After 3 months of watching reviews and such I decided on a used xt-1 and the “kit” lens to get started. You just gained a sub. 👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻

Thanks for this, Andrew. I especially appreciated your comments on how well suited the 16mm is to capturing family. I also have the 56mm, and while there’s definitely some magic in it, I’ve taken my favourite pictures of my daughter with the 16mm, I’m sure. You’re so right that the way this wide angle exaggerates features just works so well with kids. I bought it after watching one of her earlier reviews of the lens, and we’ve since managed to get a few memorable pictures of each other that we’ll have for a long time, so thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

So many inspiring images. Much respect. Stay well during these times.

Really enjoyed this overview as I get into Fuji. Waiting for that XT-4 to ship!

Probably the best thing I’ve noticed about shooting Fuji is that no matter what kind of shooting you’re interested in doing, it seems like Fuji makes a spectacular zoom or prime to cover those bases. You kit examples at the end really drive this home…the Fuji system is extremely versatile and the lenses are really special.

Dude thank you so much for every video you make. I’ve just paused after you talked about the first lens (50-140) and showed so many amazing sample shots! I love that you are a real photographer, not a gear-bro! Please never stop making videos 🔥

Just rewatched this video as I get closer to switching over fully to Fuji. Really love your work Andrew, as a KZfaqr (pleasant presentation style and passion) and as a documentary photographer. Thanks for all the videos!

You are my dadographer idol. Excellent video. Probably the pinnacle of Fuji gear overviews.

Great reviews. What sold me it was the quality of your shoots. I have subscribed to your channel.

Excellent reviews - I've got the Xt4 on pre-order and the lens you make me want is the 56 1.4. I have the 16 .14, 23, 35 f2 and 18-55 kit. Excited for these once the lock down is over.

Andrew and Denae, I have been following you guys for many years since I first bought my XT2 years ago... You have been a huge inspiration to me and an anchor for me in my photographic journey. Not only do you guys inspire me to push my desires in my projects, but you also ground me in this crazy consumerism world we live. To see you guys stay consistent and to prove that the proof is in the pudding amazes me even now. Keep up the good work!

Well done. Very informative accompanied by some beautiful shots. Seriously considering the 16mm 1.4 for my next lens.

Hi Andrew. I appreciate the humility you expressed at the start of the video. It’s refreshing in these times of self-promotion. However, in my opinion, you are truly an artist and a legitimate self-made expert in Fuji photography gear. Your videos are both informative, as well as inspiring! Keep up the great work!

I cried, your relation with your 16mm f1.4 is just ... wow ... so much love

i take you seriously as an artist, your pictures i think are amazing. wow so many amazing lens 😍

I love your Fuji Lens Calculator! Such a great and original idea. 😃

Reaaally useful video - Fascinating how you present the lenses

Ive binged quite a few videos of yours because Ive been considering switching to fuji from my Sony a6300. While the Sony has great specs, I dont feel a connection to it. It feels sterile and clinical like an Iphone and there just something about the colors that leaves me dissatisfied even when shooting RAW. For comparison, my very old and sizable canon 6d brings me more joy when using it and with its dated sensor's color rendition. As a matter of fact, I think Sony is the Apple of the camera world atm. I've capture a few 'keepers' with the Sony but I cant explain it. Me and the Sony aren't in love, it is definitely a great and capable camera though. I haven't decided what fuji I want yet, only that Ill be making the move soon. I appreciate your no BS conversation like you're telling your friends about your fuji collection and the soul of the company itself rather than being overly-hyped to the point of coming off as fake and ramming promos down my throat. Thank you you for the time spent explaining the small nuances of each camera and all the other information. I hope your channel gets as big as the popular Sony and Canon channels. I can tell you enjoy the process of actually taking photos with tactile gear even if its a more involved process. Basically like driving a manual car because you feel something. You got a sub from me. My Instagram is @bhurnal if you'd like to see some of my work. The better(older) stuff is from the Canon.

Thank you for this excellent video! I particularly like all your lens videos, which have taught me so much. This video wonderfully reminds me what to do with each lens and gives me so much inspiration to go out and shoot with my gear again.

Thank you for this great video. It is invaluable to show your various kit configurations. As a Fuji newbie migrating from Nikon FF and whose primary purpose is dad photography at the moment, I love the rationalizations you gave.

I enjoy landscape, travel, and street photography. My Canon was feeling too heavy to carry everywhere, so when I bought my Fuji, I made it a point to stay small and light. I have the 14mm, 23mm f2, 35mm f1.4, 50mm f2, and the XC 50-230mm. It’s small and light enough to carry the whole kit everywhere, including 58mm filters.

Andrew, you’re a legend. Very underrated KZfaqr who is from my home state. I’m holding it down in northern Utah no worries. Fuji!

16mm F1.4 was the very first lense I got and I am absolutely in love with it! It was quite an unusual choice (as a starter lense) but I wanted to be able to shoot stars at night and it's fantastic for that. I was surprised by how much versatility I got with it being able to shoot details well too. It's a fantastic lense!

Nice to have lens for every situation. This video serves as an inspiration for me to work hard to have all these lenses later on, thank you!

Love your reviews and you have a lovely family! Congrats from a fellow dad.

I love the focus on this video.

20:01 immediately understood why the romantic music...wow these images are on point. The ones that stood out for me are the 90mm, 23, 50-140 and 16mm images. I also do alot of portraits, headshots, family and street photography. Thanks for this review, I wish I can buy all these lenses at once.

Love your style and your photos Andrew.

I subscribed as soon as I heard you say you aren't that interesting as an artist. That kind of humility on KZfaq is very rare these days so keep just being you dude.

Awesome pictures dude and great colours!

Fantastic video! Great structure and content, keep it up

Am now officially super jealous! thanks for sharing - it was great to see your kit but more importantly get your insight into why you have them. I've only got the 10-24, 16 f1.4 and 55-200 Fujinon lenses for my X-T3. But I also use an adapted micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8D and an old Canon FD 50mm f1.8. I'm really considering swapping out the Nikkor for the Fuji 80mm macro lens solely due to this lockdown. I was more than happy with the Nikkor as a casual macro shooter, but as needs see me get more into it I think an upgrade is on the cards. Be interesting to hear your long-term thoughts on the 80mm. For my GFX50R I use the 23 and 32-64. I might swapout the zoom for the new 50mm pancake but that's not for the right now.

Great collection. Thank you for video. After 2 years, that I started to use my XT3, I finaly concluded, that the most important thing is the weight of lens. Now I own 8 fujinon lenses so far. There are: 10-24; 16/1.4; 16-55; 18-55(kit); 35/2.0; 50/2.0; 56/1.2; 50-140 (+1.4 extender). My favorite lenses are: 10-24 (very useful for archtecture and interior) 16/1.4 (for landscapes, close portraits and stillife); 35/2.0 (for everyday use, portraits, street and scenes of life); 50/2.0 (pretty good portrait lens, razor sharp, fast and light, I like to take it with 35/2.0 together); and of course I like my 56/1.2 (king of portrairs). I almoust do not use 16-55 and 50-140 couse they are too heavy. If I need a zoom lens for travel, than 18-55 kit lens is a better choice because of its lightness (IMHO). In the future I want to try 23/1.4; 27/2.8; and 90/2.0. For macro I want to buy Laowa 65mm with X2 magnification. I also want to purchase fringer adapter to use my old canon ef lenses on my XT3. Anyway: I prefer primes over zooms and light lenses over heavy monsters. :)) P.S. sorry for my bad english.

Really useful, thank you! By the way, hands down the best example photos I’ve ever seen on gear reviews - what a great eye 😍

I'm so happy the 50-230 is still in your kit 😂

Very useful gradually going through these while transitioning to Fuji. 🙏

Great video, I reference back to it often. Would love to see an update to the kits shown at the end of this video.

watching this because i’m thinking of picking up a fuji xs10! this was very helpful

Awesome video, I do not feel so bad now about my kit seeing how many lenses you have. I have owned all but 2 of the lens you featured and like you, I found the ones that I do still have meet my shooting style and my needs.

I had never been a FF 24mm guy myself, but then I had never tried it all that much. Your praises of the 16mm f/1.4 is what convinced me to get one, and damn do I love this lens. It isn't my number one, but certainly one of my top 3.

I thought I was the only one who used the 90mm for street photography. It goes out with me all the time in my street photography kit. I love using this in the city for long shots, especially with hills. It's been a while since I lived in SF but I can see why you would love using the 90mm there. Great review!

This is the most comprehensive Fuji lens review I’ve seen. Great job - love the suggested kits at the end and your colour palettes. I’m assuming lots of classic chrome?

Thank you Andrew! Your channel has been my source of review and recommendation since my Fuji journey began. My journey , in order, started with the X-T3 w/18-55 kit lens one year ago (sold my Nikon D810) then I got the 16/1.4...then the 80mm macro (but sold it)...I got the 16mm ext. tube...then I bought the 55-200. I have 2 third party macro lens, the Rokinon 100mm/2.8 macro and the Zhongyi 4-4.5X extreme macro...also got the 11mm extension tube. In between the buys, I rented the 56/1.2 and the 50-140 (just to experience them). I am now considering the 35/f2 and 90. I do not make money from my photography anymore, It's just a passion and have a personal discipline of shooting everyday in my retirement.

I use the 50-230mm very similarly. A good tip is turn off the ois if you're shooting above 1/500ss, greatly improves sharpness...

Great video from coolest reviewer here on KZfaq!! I have every fuji lens and i have tried to sell a few lenses so i can just keep a few but like andrew i have different kits for different scenarios!! This guy called Andrew with his gentle voice has made me buy nearly every fuji lens and half a dozen bodies... This guy is awesome ...

Love the video. Thanks for trusting me with your beautiful 56!

Thanks Andrew, very interesting as always to hear your why as well as your what. I started out with the 16-55 as my do it all and was lured away by the fujicon primes. Now, 3 years later, I’m going back to it and the only prime I will keep is the incredible 90 and maybe the 50f2 for some street work. Also just ordered an x-t30 for when my kit needs to be small but powerful.

Thanks for this Andrew,going on a renting spree after lockdown here in New Zealand,2 weeks to go. I've only left my house once in 2 weeks for a supermarket trip. Crazy times!

You have such a lovely family! great video 👍

First person I've seen mention the telephoto converter! Thanks for the tips!

As always, very good video, Andrew. I use my Fuji lineup as a light and small alternative to my Nikon full-frame lineup, which I still keep because of the great ergonomics and image quality (D850, z6). Therefore I mainly use the light lenses, like 35 f2.0, 23 f2.0 and 50 f2.0. I sold my 16 1.4 a few months ago, because I rarely used it, although I always get sentimental when you talk about it. I'm thinking of trading my x-t2 for either an x-pro3 (what a beauty) or an x-t4, but I'm still very undecided. The x-t4 should bring real added value through image stabilization, but the x-pro 3 is simply... wwwwrrrrr. Keep up the good work and stay safe! Greetings from Germany.

You're amazing man ! Keep the hard working.

Amazing photos!

You're very helpful. I switched from the XT-2 and some nice lenses to Sony's A7R3. I'm really thinking of switching back because of the weight, (though I'll miss the full-frame Sony).

Daaaaaaang - That Fender MIJ 60's Midnight Tele hanging in the background is a nice touch!

This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing!

These videos are so so good. Thank you.

Glad I ended up subbing. You're one of the reason why I told all my Sony A6400 and switching to the XT4.

Love that line-up of lenses! My current line-up are quite similar to yours, only that I prefer Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 Planar over XF 35mm f/1.4 R, based on my preference of AF speed and coming from a former user of Sony FE Zeiss lens (FE Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 ZA Sonnar), but both are stellar lenses and produced beautiful images with different characteristic. My current line-up: 1. XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR 2. XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR 3. XF 56mm f/1.2 R - Agree with yours, I am tempted to see how XF 50mm f/1 R WR will perform and would love to shift over that new lens and sell my XF 56mm f/1.2 R. However, XF 56mm f/1.2 R is still a very decent lens. 4. Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 Planar for X-mount 5. XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR - One of the best wide prime lens ever produced. Period. 6. Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 Distagon for X-mount - I love that you brought up this lens to the viewer's attention. It's such an underrated lens. It's just because when it was produced to the market the price tag was so hefty people then choose XF 14mm f/2.8 or Samyang 12mm f/2 NCS CS as they're a lot cheaper. But since Zeiss doesn't sell this Touit 12mm f/2.8 anymore, we can get the lens in such a bargained price at the used and secondhand market.

My kit: samyang 12mm, Xf16, xf35f1.4, xf56, xf90, xf18-55, xf16-55; adapted: Auto-rikenon 55f1.4, nikkor 105f2.5 ais, nikkor af 180 2.8 ed The lenses why I will always own a fujifilm camera are Xf16, xf90... Both are magical. Love your content and your vibe. Really looking forward to every new video.

I have gravitated to full frame for wildlife and landscape, so now Fuji is my travel and documentary system. Zooms went out the door yesterday to KEH. My major prime kit is 23mm f/2, 16mm f/2, and the low-profile pancake 27mm f/2. The 27mm pancake needs some love as an everyday, go-everywhere ultracompact lens. It only lacks close focus. Cheers.

Man, I couldn't agree more with you. That 16mm is the reason I came back twice to the Fuji system. I have used Sony mirrorless and Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless for professional and personal work and even though those systems have their own advantages I never felt quite at home as much as I did every time I shoot with my xf 16mm. Also that 90mm made me put my 56mm in the bag for a long time(I know I know is not as practical as the 56mm but oh boy is it sharp and fast for focusing) thanks for the video!

Great video, really enjoyed it and learned a lot, thanks a lot!

Great video. Those shots with the 16mm are incredible.

And again, more fuji videos to keep sane.

I have and use most of these primes, and they're really great...but the one I get myself always going back to is the Mitakon 0.95...just gorgeous images...

Andrew, I really enjoy and appreciate all the in depth you and Denae have put out over the years. It's helped keep me inspired. The sample shots here are absolutely beautiful! Dying to pick up the 16mm f1.4 and the 56mm f1.2 but I feel like I can't justify those purchases right now since I'm a full time student and not doing that many paid photo gigs although I'm always trying to add more work to my portfolio. When I do go out and shoot, it's mostly jazz concert and portrait photography (so lots of low light). I use the 35 f1.4 for most everything and then I have the 23mm f2 for slightly wider situations (and dabbling in street and landscape) and the 90mm f2 for getting up close. I'll very seldom take out the 18-55 kit lens for the 18mm f2.8 part of it and the helios 44-2 (which is like an 80mm full frame although it flares constantly and isn't very sharp which isn't always an issue but I try to avoid that). Which lens should I try to acquire next or rather should I wait patiently till more work comes in? I've also thought of trading some of my lenses for one of the two earlier mentioned but each of these serves a purpose (except maybe the kit lens) and I'm scared of "handicapping" myself

Because of you I'm spending my money, I got the 23 1.4, then 16 1.4, 56 1.2... I feel I need the 35 2 lol and the 90 2... Too many amazing lenses !

That XF 90mm f/2 looks utterly amazing!!!

I want them all, for now I only own the "kit" 18-55mm, 50mm 2.0 and loving it and the fabulous (some may not think the same) 50-230mm, now this lens has been sticking to my XT-3 much longer than I expected, it's been doing great in studio with speed lights and outdoors as well, now I haven't tried the other long "better quality zooms" but for the time being this is holding up very well, very excited about upcoming 50mm 1.0.

"Let me tell why this is the best lens that Fuji make", quickly followed by "Ok, onto the next lens, let me tell about how this is Fuji's best lens" haha

Here's my kit: - 16-80mm f4 for general use and for when I travel far away. Love it. Of course at f4 when light is low you're gonna be in trouble. I've tried the 18-135 but I was not very impressed, and I don't miss the extra lenght. - 16mm 1.4 was my first ever fuji lens. Insane!! I used to always shot with it before I got the 16-80mm, (which now made me a little bit lazy) but there's one big problem with the 16 though: it has terrible coma! I wish I could use it for astrophotography, but it forces me to crop a lot. (I'm considering the samyang 12mm f2 for that). - 50-140mm f2.8 which I bought for landscape and general telephoto stuff, and is of course the only lens I use when I do portraiture. It IS sharp. Also I'd use it for deep astrophotography some day. - 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 which I bought at a very affordable price only for those rare situations where I need very long reach. It is a very good lens, but I honestly didn't use it very much. I'd also try this lens for deep astrophotography. - also, I own the 2x teleconverter which is compact and can be handy sometimes. It does take away some sharpeness however, problably the 1.4x is the better choice. Used to have the 35mm f2 but I sold it in favor of the 16-80. I think I regret that decision a bit now, I'm missing the 50mm equivalent even though I'd rarely use it during portraits. I'm looking for alternatives, maybe the new XC 35 or the crazy mitakon f0.95... Also the 56mm is always in my head, I'd really like to try it out. p.s. the 50mm f1 is always in my head too ahah

You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too many lenses ;) I always enjoy finding out how folks make their equipment decisions, and lens choices are soooooo personal, that it can give a glimpse of the personality behind the decision. I think telling someone what lens(es) to have/use is like telling someone how they should cut their hair. Lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and use cases.

Great video! Ty! I just acquired a brand new GFX5OR & the 50mm 3.5. I did get the sales. I sold all my Nikon gear! I need the 110mm and the 45mm. The X-T4 was my 2nd choice with the 80mm. Hopefully the economy will kick back in. And can start my product photography business! Luv luv your videos!

Well, I just switched from Canon to Fuji, and the X-T4 should be arriving soon. I watched this video to get a sense of what lenses I should target. Thanks for supporting my gear addiction.

Beautiful photos. Thanks so much.

beautiful photos!

Great work sir! I shoot sony and just within my first year and it's great to know a camera company that tries to make the world better. I am looking to buy my first Fuji, my 2nd pro-consumer camera. Doesn't seem like they have many lens selections but I definitely looking at the Viltrox fast Aperture lenses.

You’ve ended up with quite a collection but they all make sense to me given the variety of needs you have. I haven’t been through nearly as many lenses but have leveraged your videos to end up with a 16mm f1.4, 23mm f2, 50mm f2, 18-55, and 55-200. The only thing I’ve wondered about is swapping the 23 f2 for the f1.4 but do a lot of travel and street so not keen on the extra weight and lack of WR.

Thank you for a great video! I almost bring 16mmF1.4, 35mmF1.4 and 90mmF2 with X-PRO3 for travel and street photography. I think the 16mmF1.4 is one of the most versatile lenses in FUJIFILM because we can shoot everything we see on tourist spots and show subjects really dynamically!

As a primarily stills shooter, my fuji kit consists of the X-T3 with 56 1.2 and 16 1.4 as well as the X100V (was the X100F before). For weddings and events I pretty much just run with the 56 and the X100V only switching to the 16 when the situation requires. Easy to switch between the two and covers well. I also have vintage glass that I use in my film kit that I adapt for certain scenarios like a Canon FD Macro and a Vivitar 135 2.8.

Great video! I have to admit, due to the budget I picked the viltrox 85 instead of the 90 mm and I love to use it for street photography... but the most often used lens is my 56 ...

Hey mate, I really like your "kit flatlays" at the end. Very interesting and usefull. PS, What strap are you using? E.g. as seen at 25:47

Enjoying following your journey 🙂 I'm building my own kit. Switched some months ago, and - besides some manual focus and vintage lenses - only have the 18-55mm, 23mm f2, and the 35mm f/1.4. I need and miss a telephoto lens. I'm planning to get the 50mm f2, 90mm f2, and 55-200mm. I'm mostly doing street and documentary stuff, not professionally, but would like to also do portraits and events professionally. If I could do documentary photography professionally, then that would be it. Now I'm considering getting the 16-55mm instead of the two f2 primes though. It's a bit more expensive, and obviously f2.8 instead of f2, but covers more range. On the other side, it's big. If only I had enough money all the lenses 🙂

Like you Andrew, I have several kits chosen with the task at hand. Here they are: Field & Stream (landscape): XT-3 + 16mm/1.4 and 50-200mm Event: XT-3 and a 2nd body, either X-T2 or X-Pro2 + 16mm/1.4 and 50-200mm or 50mm/2.0 Travel & Street (minimalist): X100V Travel & Street(expanded)l X-Pro2 + 16mm/2.8, 23mm/2.0 and 50mm/2.0 Special Circumstance (when in the company of non-photographers): Only the x100V and nothing more. Note: the Special Circumstances approach comes from my experiences. Non-photographers have no patience at all with photography, not even for a moment. Break this approach at your own risk: your friends will get irritated, and you will be frustrated and disappointed. Lesson learned, it's about the trip or event, not my images! Thanks Andrew, I always enjoy your videos. BTW, you have a lovely family. Cheers!

Outstanding video. I am currently a Sony A7R m3 user, but as I age and travel more I'm wanting to downsize a little with Fuji XT4 and 3 to 4 lenses. My first love is landscape and street photography but with grandkids now have moved more into portrait. I also love the 24mm f1.4 (full frame eq) as a walk around option during travel but find the 24-105 f4 is a really good option too. I agree that OIS may not be necessary with the XT4, but I believe the camera processor uses the lens AND body to stabilize. I know Sony does this. So you get maximum stabilization with an OIS and in-body with the XT4. Lastly, I was surprised on your street photography kit you did not use a 23 (35mm FF eq) F1.4 or F2. I find the 35 FF eq works better than 50 FF eq for street photography. 24 FF eq also works well to get more of the surrounding environment too.

Excellent stuff. I have a very old and simple setup. I have an XT1, 18-55 2.8-4, a collection of manual lenses (12mm 2.8, 25mm 1.8, 35mm 1.2, and 55mm 1.4), and a Canon adapter and speedbooster for my EF 50mm 1.8, and 85mm 1.8.

I'm pretty much covered throughout the prime range for my Fujis; 12 (

I had the 23mm f1.4 and sold it while back always regretted it but since i have the x100T i now might get the 16 f1.4 for the exact reasons you mention in this video :-) Thanks
