Great video! I’m currently using the xf 18-120mm f4 and the xf 23mm f1.4 mk2; I also have the Voigtlander 23mm f1.2 for personal photos. Even with the Fujinon glass I manual focus around 90% of the time, the focus by wire isn’t the best but it’s just fine for product photography for me. I’m really heavily considering the Viltrox 13mm as I need something wider to use in my tight studio at times…

Hi! I really hope you or anyone else may be able to help. Just found your channel while trying to figure out which lens to get for my first Fujifilm XH2. I'd love to use it for filming. So far I've been using Canon Rebel + Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, which is great both for filming and product photography, with a lovely soft quality and bokeh. I want to upgrade my equipment and make my videos more cinematic. Your video was very helpful, now I know more about different lens for Fuji, but I'm still having the hardest time deciding which lens to choose to start with, any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you :)

Im wondering maybe IBIS causes that weird effect but after disabling it issue still remains.I am using focus servo motor on my Weebill 2 so its not caused by user error and unsmooth rotating of zoom ring,also when i am zoomin in/out without te moving camera forward backward smoothness is great.
