Hey Jerred! Thank you for checking out the video. I thought it was just me but this lens' focus issues are real! One more video matching it up to the Viltrox 56mm before I decide to (probably) sell it!

I'm going to test it against the Viltrox lens, which I also own. That video should be out in the next week or two.

Thanks for the kind words, Kendra. I’ll definitely check out the 75 from Viltrox!

Thank you! Cheers!

I know - it's so Hunter-esque!

But this is for Fujifilm owners…

​@@hunterhart1 Sure, I just think the pricing is a bit steep / it doesn't represent a good value proposition vs alternatives - it's a good lens though. This is just from personal experience, I sold my Fuji stuff and bought full frame which is was cheaper, lighter and better.

Interesting - what did you go with?

@@WesKriesel I posted a video about it on my channel - another thing about E-mount vs X-mount is the second hand lens choices are usually a fair bit cheaper and more available.

⁠@@DigiDriftZonefullframe “cheaper, lighter” ?? What are you smoking bro?

It's solid. Definitely. Just wondering if it's extraordinary? Like the 50-140mm is world class in my book. But it's also personal preference. One of my favorite lenses is the 23mm F/2. I just can't get enough of that lens. Maybe the focal length doesn't resonate with me. I'll see what happens when I compare it to the Viltrox 56mm.

Yes, that should work just fine. Just keep in mind that with the 120fps setting there's no audio. So, you might want to do 60fps for slo mo which will have audio when you run it regular speed.

I'm not sure about that. Factory reset maybe?

Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment!

Ahhh, thanks for the kind words!

Nice. What's your least used lens?

Yes, good point. The camera would not be able to use the auto-focusing bracketing mechanism to control a manual lens.

Great tip! Thanks I have the Viltrox 56 F/1.4. I'm curious how it compares to the F/1.7?

Hey Jerred! Thanks for stopping by. It’s been annoyingly slow in the past but I’m wondering if part of that was the AF issues with the X-H2 at the time!

Hey @shotsbyalex260, thanks for your insightful question! You've touched on a key point in the crop vs. full frame debate. One of the main reasons I fell in love with the Fuji system is precisely because of the value proposition - getting a premium lens like the 56mm for under $1000 is fantastic, especially when I compare it to my experience with Canon RF lenses that often exceeded $2000 for similar quality. The price-to-performance ratio of crop sensor systems like Fuji can be really compelling. That said, you're absolutely right that a FF 85 1.8 offers incredible versatility. It's all about balancing factors like budget, portability, and specific shooting needs. Have you had experience shooting with both systems? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on how they compare in real-world use!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@@WesKriesel I have never shot with Fuji. For years I only shot with Canon dslrs and when the Canon R system came out I switched due to the ability to use all the old lenses on the new camera. But I hated that the lenses were so expensive and there weren't many options. So I tried the Sony A7iv and haven't looked back since. The lens selection is unbelievable and since I never buy things new, the sheer volume of lens that are 1-3 years old for a fraction of the original price, is really good. But regardless of the system, I don't think I could ever go back to a crop sensor. I'm too used to the full frame. 56mm f1.2 is actually 56mm F1.2. I also love to shoot astro photography and achieving that with crop sensor is nearly impossible without a star tracker.

Noted! I’ll know if I go that way after the three test portrait sessions that I’m committed to doing in the next couple weeks. Subscribe if you are interested in these tests!

Glad I could help!

No, it didn't require the webcam utility. The Elgato (my explanation) transcodes the video signal from the EOS R so that it's readable as a "camera" for the laptop. This way you don't need the webcam utility.

You are so welcome

I'm so glad!

Ok, cool! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Glad you liked it!

I only had the RP on loan, so don't have a grip for it. The manufacturers that make battery grips for the Canon EOS RP include: - Custom Battery Grips - Vello - BM Premium - MCOplus - FocusFoto - Neewer

Absolutely, great question! Currently, Fujifilm's interval shooting mode doesn't automatically adjust all settings like the Nikon Z6 does. For a fully automatic 'Holy Grail' time-lapse (transitioning smoothly from day to night), you’d typically need to adjust the settings manually or use third-party software that compensates for the changing light conditions. However, Fuji is always updating their features, so there's potential for more automated options in future firmware updates. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for more updates and tutorials!

@@WesKriesel Thanks for the response. I picked up a new to me low shutter count Nikon z6ii and a Viltrox 16mm f1.8.....now if I can get some clear skies and no marine layer at night I would be ok.
