My top third party lenses for the Fujifilm X mount

The cool kid bit gets me everytime 😂

Here is the best lens at any price for the x mount Viltorx 27/1:2

Only one of you. Wow that’s eye opening

hi from THAILAND >>MY GEAR fuji XT5 ALL NATIVE LENS 8-16 mmf2.8 16mm 16-55mmf2.8 50mm 70-300mm what do u think >> IF XPRO4 THAT MIGHT COME OUT has OIS THEN I MAY GET IT ??

Hey! I'm shooting with Fuji XH1 and am looking for a good low light lens. What would you suggest especially for video? Thanks man!

Your stacking comments are funny. I recently starting using my viltrox 85 and fuji 16 80 f4. In comparing them, I noticed a significant difference with contrast. The Viltrox is the winner. Can you recommend other third party auto lenses with high contrast? I am using an Xt3...Thanks

I kinda like the old 85mm viltrox 1.8 mark 1 still. Its got some problems but you can find one for 250 dollars or so. Pretty great value for starting event photographers. Im upgrading to the 75mm 1.2 though. The Viltrox 23mm 1.4 is also a cheapish fun walk around lens. Got problems shooting into the light and isnt the most contrasty lens but overall nice option for street and some vibey events where you don't need top iq.

Cringe intro unsubbed

Did you speed up your audio?

Since my camera is selected thanks to you, now on to lenses
I have selected -
Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary

Does the 30mm here equivalent to 50mm?
My primary purpose is to shoot portraits and ecommerce clothing photography and product photography. Above are fine for this?

Plus i'll really appreciate it if you can recommend a good flash also?

Great video! But I have a question. Why should you buy a 3rd party 27mm 2.8 lens when the kit lens (18-55mm) does f2.8? I'm a beginner 😅

if you had to choose between the viltrox 75mm f1.2 or the fuji 90mm f2 for street/nature photography. which would you go with?

I am sorry but you lost me when i saw that nail on your pinky finger... I cant watch videos of or take any advice from a person that lets the nail on the last finger grow.

What about Tamaron 18-300mm?. Sigma 18-50mm or this lens produce better image quality up to 50mm?

The Sigma 18-50/2.8 is on my list

Got both Viltrox you mentioned. Great lenses. Id add the Mitakon 35mm 0.94 mark II to the list.

Why did you forget sigma 30mm 😮

I have the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 and love it.

Love my sigma 56 1.4 on xt4

What film recipe do you use for portraits?

I guess I'm a cool old man then!🤣

Learn how to end a bit. That stupid cool kids bit should've been one line at the most and you probably should have left it out all together.

Try the Samyang 75mm F1.8. I don't think it is optically as good as the Viltrox F1.2, but it weighs 413g less. Yes, almost 1lb less, and is shorter than the 33mm F1.4.

Don't worry man, you are gonna get in that 'freaking cool kids' list pretty soon, a little nerdy but cool, for sure ... keep making these great videos.

I love this list! After I upgraded to the X-T5, I got the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 and those two have become two of my most used lenses! ❤

Nice vid. I have that Sigma 18-50/2.8. But my fav lens is not on ur list — TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2. I just can’t bare to leave home without it mounted on my XT4. It’s clearly an inspired interpretation of the Zeiss C Sonnar T* 50mm f/1.5. If you read or watch reviews of these two lenses, the reviews sound nearly interchangeable. There are also some mechanical styling similarities. And both have similar star-shaped 10-blade aperture. But the TTArtisan costs < $100. This lens is just so nice to use and makes photos with just the right character for me. Quite a few others feel the same, but some people just don’t like the lens at all. I’ve also got a bunch of Fuji primes and zooms, as well as two Laowa lenses. But the TTArtisan keeps finding itself on my body!

party lenses, I read party lenses 🎉😅

Im torn between the Viltrox 75 1.2 and the Samyang 75 1.8 which is much smaller,lighter and almost the same price as the Viltrox. It would be great if Samyang sent you a 75 1.8 to test. Thanks for another informative and cleverly humorous video!

If only Sigma and Tamron would include aperture rings 😮‍💨

That was fricken, cool (kid) LOL

I swear that Laowa has a gnome inside!

If you focus stack a portrait you are a certified retard, moron, wetbag! Heck even a landscape, now for jewelry and macro then yes! Bring it on landscapers there’s so many wrong things about focus stacking a landscape photo! Beginning with lack of knowledge in photography history and techniques! But hey be yourself, be like those cool kids with their cool hats, that copy retard techniques and don’t know the history of what the practice but know about athletes, politicians and artists 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Always appreciate that you provide a ton of great sample images. It irks me so bad when people don’t show images, even more so when they’re not good!

I paused it straight away to write my top 3 to see if you agree… in random order …. 18-50, 13 1.4 and 75 mm

10K before July 🙌🏼

I have the top two lens on this list! The viltrox 75 f1.2 and sigma 18-50mm f2.8. What other focal length you can recommend? I would like to start shooting outdoor portrait photography.

If the Viltrox 75 f/1.2 was a fuji lens, they'd probably charge like $1200 for it.
It's just crazy value for money.

Hello sir, I like to to watch your channel. I am looking to get one Fuji, between s20, xt5 and xh2s which one you recommend please. I am on canon side for 8 years. Thank

Those freaking cool kids with… beanies, and ultra wide lenses, and square hood filters… 😂.

10k subscribers incoming! Keep those cool kids coming!

FOCUS STACKING.... FOOL! WHY FOCUS STACK? JUST TAKE A SINGLE SHOT, THAT'S THE REAL THING! NO CHEATING YOU FREAKS! I DON'T FOCUS STACK. JUST USE YOUR TALENT, HEHEHE.

It might be fun to try a fisheye lens for portraits. :)

I'm thinking about ditching a few of Fuji's older lenses: 16-55, 10-24, 16 f/1.4... and see what's next on the roadmap.

i have the fuji 35mm f2, 18-55 and 80mm so i have no need for the 27mm, 75mm, or 18-50mm but i like the look of the 13mm. just not sure id ever use it as often.

Hey I have the 18-55 and want to start doing video with the xh2s should i sell it and get the 18-35 1.8 canon fringer combo? let me know your thoughts!

I used the sigma 28mm f/1.4 art with the Fringer Pro 2 adapter .. I love it on my X-H2 . It is on the heavy side but lord!! It’s my favorite.

Is any of these lenses weather sealed.

Dang, you are putting content out like a “cool” kid. Non-stop. 😂

I tried to be cool and bought my first manual focus lens. I bought the TTartisan’s 50mm f/1.2 lens. It is a great lens especially for the price, $112. The build is nice, the aperture ring click is great. It is sharp in the center and great bokeh. It also made me learn how to use the focus assist on my x-e4. But I pretty much forgot about it once I bought the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2.

How about Samyang 75mm f1.8?

I know you said before you hadn't used the Sigma 56mm F/1.4, but i'd still test it, love mine
I don't have GAS though. I rarely pull the trigger on new gear just because (even if i want to i talk myself out of it).

I'm a studio, mostly portrait photographer, kind of don't need more than my XF 35mm F/1.4 and Sigma 56mm F/1.4. I do use the 16-80mm F/4 for other things (or if the 35mm is not wide enough) and the 10-24mm F/4 (but that is mostly for video on a gimble (due to the internal zoom).

If the 35mm was my only lens I would manage.
The only lens I am looking for really (and not looking that hard) is a 23mm with autofocus and with no (or close to no) focus breathing for video work. But the 10-24 really does well so not pulled trigger on either of the Fuji 23mm yet
