Appreciate that! I just unceremoniously dropped off KZfaq and felt like I needed to offer some sort of explanation. Haha

Glad you found it helpful!

You're treading a dangerous path there! I lent my 33mm f/1.4 to a friend a couple of weeks back as well... now it's all he can talk about!

That happened to be a couple of times, as well. Quite annoying if you're not planning on actually using it!

My wife complains about that same problem all the time! Surprising how long it takes to work out why it’s not focusing correctly sometimes!

That manual focus ring is the reason I love that lens

Nice one! Have you used any of the others in this new trio?

@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer not yet because the 23mm FOV is my jam. But I am hoping for the 56f1.2 mark 2; can’t wait!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the lens! It's a staple for me now, as well.

Thanks for watching, Mark. You know... I feel the same way about the slideshows I make. We've all got so far to go... Improving every day is all we can hope for!

YES! Looking forward to seeing what that lens brings to the table, as well.

Already on the channel! Check out my family kit video.

I wish I could take credit for it! 😂

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot! I'll definitely do my best to post a few more once the rent is safely paid!

This one definitely draws from the best of both of those lenses and then improves on it in almost every way. Glad to hear you're enjoying your time with it!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, Mutlu. Appreciate your time. I don't actually receive any gear at all from Fujifilm, so I don't think I'll see that lens before you. ;)

Thanks for watching!

The X100V. So, 23mm. That's where I'm most comfortable. However, I love taking the 18mm and the 33mm out as well. Really depends on the mood of the day.

Hi Roberto! If you're looking at this lens technically, it blows the X100V out of the water. While the MK II lens for the X100 series is a great upgrade, this lens is sharper, faster, and better corrected. I hope that helps...

@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Tks mate! Yes, I’ve imagined that. Well for now will keep my best friend x100 and find a time in life that convinces me to have a 23 as well in the t4. cheers !

Those are very different lenses. If I could only choose one, it would likely be the 23mm because it's a little more versatile. You don't need to be quite so close to fill your frame.

Sorry to hear you're having issues! Have you taken it into Fujfifilm? I'm sure it won't be long until Sigma has a good swatch of lenses available for the X system. It will definitely shake things up a bit.

@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer I bought the lens used 4 years ago, so I doubt I'll be able to. To get it serviced it in Australia would cost at least a couple hundred, probably a few hundred more at most to fix the problem. I think you can pick them up new for maybe 800, so it just doesn't justifiable, considering it still works, just shoots slightly blurry at wide open

@@iamrichlol Ah, that makes sense. Fujifilm Aus does some great deals towards the end of the year from what I remember. Definitely worth keeping an eye on those.

But the issues are on the older version, not the fresh MKII, which is presented here?

@@Powerland56 it is an older model.i don't think it is a common issue, my lens must have been damaged

That's the case with every Fujifilm produced lens. Just make sure you have corrections turned on in camera (it's on by default).

About 28, 35, and 50

Your guess is as good as mine! I have no idea.

With these new trio of lenses, I'm back to the default settings. They seem to work really well. Watch my "Family Photography Kit" video for a bit more of an in-depth look into how I focus.

@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer thx for answering. What af c settings are you using. Mode 1 or 2 or even 5?

That would depend on what you hope to achieve with the lens. They're both great. Spend some time considering how you like to frame your subjects and what environments you normally shoot in.

They're both really good. If you're looking to split hairs, I'm sure somewhere like DPReview has done some lab tests. In day to day use, I couldn't tell a difference.

@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Thank you. Went with the xf23mm.

Superior? lol. You better read the lenstip review of the Sony, and then the review of the Fuji, and tell me again which one is superior.

F1.8 isn’t equivalent. I don’t know where this myth came from. Yes maybe you get shallower depth of field (the DOF equivalent on full frame is about f/2.1) but f1.4 let’s in more light hence is more expensive to produce and has benefits such as being able to have higher shutter speed which is useful in low light. I do agree that Fuji lenses are getting too big and heavy though. The size increase is even more with the bigger hoods as well

​@@stefan33uk You're right F2.1 would be real equivalent, but this lens does not exist to my knowledge? - This is why I put "equivalent" in quote marks, as in nearest lens that actually exists and can be purchased, but really it's superior to the F1.4 lenses on APS-C. Does F1.4 actually let in more light despite the sensor being smaller? - The iPhone7 has an F1.8 lens, does that mean it lets the same amount of light as an F1.8 on full frame? - my understanding was it is all calculated against the sensor size. Also, I own a Viltrox F1.4 23mm on my Fuji which lets in no more light than the F2 Fuji 23mm (more bokeh though!), so I don't know who to trust haha.

@@DigiDriftZone I think it does let in more light relative to the sensor size. The absolute size of the aperture is actually smaller though on the Fuji (23mm/1.4 vs 35mm/1.8 - maybe someone can chime in here to help haha). What is not in doubt is that a larger maximum aperture lens is definitely more expensive to make.

In my understanding everything @SKJames says is correct. An APS-C 23mm lens at f1.4 behaves like a full frame 35mm lens at f1.4 in terms of exposure - e.g. you gain the same low light capabilities with a f1.4 lens no matter the sensor size. Whereas with a Sony 35mm at f1.8 you'd either have to increase your ISO or lower your shutter speed a bit. However when comparing DoF you have to use a 1.5 factor. Due to the smaller sensor your 23mm fuji lens at 1.4 gives you the same DoF as a full frame 35mm lens at ~f2.1. That said I fully agree with you both that new fuji lenses are getting too big and pricey for my uses.
