Using a wide aperture seems odd for a panning shot. You don’t need a shallower depth of focus as you are blurring the background anyway with the motion. I find closing down the aperture helps as it makes the focus less critical. You also normally get a sharper image at a slightly closed down aperture

Man I was so oblivious to just how much more overwhelming the requirements to a would be videography career would’ve been before I even got there. I couldn’t even take one step to university with even salary issues and other limitations. Even putting a success story in a nutshell makes it out that some of the smartest people in this area are the few people who can actually qualify..

At 1.50 minutes, you said to start with a 1/20 shutter speed and "move down" to 1/60. And at 4.20 minutes, you used aperture priority so "the camera sets the aperture for you." Neither are correct.

Good and helpful video dude. Also cool to see you're using the 70-300. I love that lens and I've also done some paid work with it in combination with the X-T4 (awesome and IMO a very underrated sports/action camera) and Tamron 17-70. I will try and get a second body later this year. I was going to get another X-T4, but this time in silver. What is the performance like on the X-H2 for action photography and video in comparison just out of curiosity, apart from the deeper buffer?
@acoopervideo2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! I think the X-H2 does an amazing job with action photography. For video I mainly use the X-T4 but when in need of two video cameras on a shoot will use the X-T4 for action shots at 60fps. I then use the X-H2 for interviews at 24fps.

The price of that 50-140 makes things a bit complicated though! Now, let's talk about two very important things I noticed in this video; that sweet burst Les Paul on the wall and that beautiful Martin. LOL! I live in the Lehigh Valley where Martin Guitars are produced. It's a very cool factory tour to do. I also have a Les Paul. Mine's a 1971ish LP Deluxe Goldtop. I have it since 1980.

I have used it for real estate videos but the f4 aperture makes it almost impossible to film interiors without cranking the ISO. The barrel distortion is more noticeable at 10mm which why I just use it for photos. When I shoot real estate videos, I use the 16mm 1.4 (video review coming out soon)

Hi, Nice video. I have the original 10-24 which I use mostly for video work as the internal zoom means no adjustments needed on the gimbal but since I am predominantly a portrait photographer, I shoot with 3 lenses now, The 23mm F/1.4 and 56mm F/1.4 Sigma and the Original 35mm F/1.4 Fuji. The Sigma glass is really good and at less than half the price of the eqv. fujis I could not justify the difference after testing. I recently shot a dance show (on a stage, in bad lighting) using the Sigma 56mm F/1.4 in AFC and it nailed focus every time I was very impressed the 50-140 is a lens I need maybe once a year, at that point I just hire it.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I recently acquired the Viltrox 23mm which has been working great for in studio work. For reasons unknown, I can never get the 10-24mm to work for videos especially real estate. I did use it once for a BMW ad where I needed low level shots of an elf buying a car (long story).

The lens is suitable for taking photos of architecture and landscapes even when the aperture is open, and is consistently sharp. From f/4 it is absolutely sharp. I would say that the lens fully matches the performance of original Fujifilm lenses. The only thing that may not be as good is the coating when there is direct, strong backlight.

Personally just use the 18mm 1.4, 16-55 F 2.8 and XF 55-200. 50-140 is an amazing lens but is just way too bulky for me to carry around and the price is also very high. 16 I used to use but was too wide for me so I changed my route don't really take wide angled photos much to be honest. 16- 55 is an amazing beast mode of a lens for mid range but Ill admit when it comes to size and cost I do regret not purchasing the 18-55. As a non professional and hobbyist, I would say there are many lenses out there that you dont really need to spend the big bucks unless you really really care about your photos or well you have unlimited pockets.

@aryansaple78659 ай бұрын
@@benlachica1730 Flexible is subjective. What are you looking to use for? and how much money do you have? If you are asking for Flexible I would definitely say a Zoom lens. I would say look at the 16-80, 18-55 and 16-55. The 18-55 I believe is the cheapest since its a kit lens and has variable zoom. 16-80 is very flexible as well but has a lower end F stop which might matter depending on what you are looking for especially low light situations. The 16-55 imo is the king and the most expensive. 16-55 is Weather Resistant and has the fastest Autofocus and a consistent 2.8 F stop which is pretty good for zooms in low light. But it is really bulky compared to the others and has no Optical stability compared to the others but if you have a XT4+ I think the body has it inbuilt.
