dont be hard on yourself. I could look at a video before uploading 10000 times just to find out typos and errors or even saying the wrong product once uploaded. I think viewers get the point anyway.

No one cares LOL I mean that in a nice way mate

Haha, I was just watching it and you were saying that there isn't any CA on the lens and the 56mm image was shown in LR. All good mate. It's hardwork.

Thanks for the kind comment mate

thanks so much mate.. have more time now so way more vids coming. thanks for the comment :-)

Great maybe we see lumix videos if there was leica done in the past

ive no idea re firmware mate.. i assume the thing shows up as a HD on your computer. mine came up to date tho

Cheers mate. As good as the 90mm for sharpness at f2

@@GarethDanks Absolutely 👍

The viltrox mate.. 100% the fuji is amazing but not good enough difference in AFC.. the viltrox is a way more powerful lens and almost as sharp. plus its half the price..

@@GarethDanks 🙏😃

Go 90 F2 . For portraits alone , you can’t beat the compression you get out of it with any other lens around that price point. It’s been out for a while so you can find really good deals. I got mine for $600

@@javierRcastro thank you Javier for the insight, much appreciated 😊 sorry to ask, but by “compression” do you mean bokeh? In the sense of subject separation.

Its MF only tho right? id have bought that if not for sure!! thanks for the comment :-)

@@GarethDanks Yep it's MF only. And I still use it professionally for concerts, there's just no alternative on Fuji (yet) although the Viltrox 75 does fill that role in smaller venues and when I have accreditation for the photo pit (which is most of the time, but the Samyang is cheap enough to stay)

Noooooo!!! Don’t tell me I’ve used the wrong files!!! 😖

Definitely replace the old lens. I hated it for its af reliability. Mine was terrible. The new one is much better but still nothing for afc sadly.

@@GarethDanks Can happen. It was very interesting nonetheless.

@@GarethDanks Thanks. then my 56 will probably be available soon on ebay.

Thanks mate.

That lens should be slightly curved as earth aint flat 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly. That’s why I said 1.8.

@@GarethDanks So it's still 1.2 like it says on the lens :)

@4Kandlez - With an APS-C sensor, you get a crop from the center of a shot taken with a 75mm lens at f1.2. That crop has the equivalent framing of a shot taken with a 112mm lens and the equivalent depth of field of a 112mm lens at f1.8.

​@@craigpatchett3508unless you move a couple of steps forward fo achieve exactly the same DoF with the f1.2 lens. Equivalency is just a nonsense as there is never true equivelancy, one parameter is always different. You could just as easily say that everything is different, DoF, light gathering, except the framr of view which is different because the thinking photographer has just adapted to the mount and moved to get exactly the same look.

Cus like a flippin idiot I was on the wrong image haha. P’d me right off 😖

@@GarethDanks Nice to know that I'm not the only one that periodically errors!

im not sure.. i like bigger lenses.. especially at longer reaches.. feel more stable. thanks for the comment :-)

@@GarethDanks I ordered it though! I do like hefty stable lenses too. The Sigma 16mm f1.4 is not that small or light neither and love that lens.

The Fuji 16-55 is a chunky bit of kit. It is the glass and build quality in each case.

ended up getting it. Amazing quality. I also have someTT Artisan for my Leica M mount and this company will give all lenses companies their run for their money! Great quality and they are also innovating @@kaneclements7761

i would too... how is it sharper tho? this is as sharp as any of my fuji lenses at f2. thanks for the comment :-)

not even close.. the build is naff in comparison, no WR! the 1.2 is amazing and it has an aperture ring which samyang messed up omitting! Nice if you need a lighter lens tho. thanks for the comment :-)

​@@GarethDanksdoesn't sound like you have had the x-mount version of the Samyang to test. For starters it is indeed weather sealed! Build quality is great, has taking a good bashing on the x-t5. Obviously made to tight tolerances, even if less metal. And it is very sharp from centre to corner with next to no vignetting or distortion (full frame sweet spot). Compactness is certainly a selling point, but that is in addition to its IQ. I'm more than happy hiking or travelling with the 50-140 to get the best possible IQ and flexibility, and I've been taking the Samyang instead more and more, not because its lighter, but because its lighter AND holds its own against this lens for when I don't necessarily need the flexibility of a zoom. Bokeh is very similar to the 50-140, too, which is the only downside. IQ wise the 90 f2 still has it beaten, there's no substitute for the rendering or compression of that lens as far as primes for the x-mount go (18 1.4 pretty damn close though). But having the 90mm, which gives me roughly the same DoF as the 75 1.2, albeit with a different field of view, its easier for me to justify having both the 90 f2 and 75 1.8 than the 75 1.2. Because sometimes you want to slip a high quality tele into a pocket just in case. The lack of aperture ring is a fair complaint. But, at the same time not unusual either. Samyang's approach to allow you to programme the focus ring to change aperture is a decent hybrid option, and allows for absolutely step-free aperture chages with video. Not de-clicked but with stepped changes as is usually the case with x-mount, but completely step-less fluid aperture.changes as Samyang decouples the "aperture ring" from the camera when you flip the custom switch to mode 2. Dont know of any other lens for x-mount that manages this. The sharpness is comparable to the Viltrox. The question is really whether you need f1.2, the smoother bokeh and more metal in your lens.
