Just bought mine, but not getting sharp photos with it at all, also noticed dust inside the lens, so probably why, though I find it far too heavy so will be sending it back.
That's unfortunate! Sounds like you definitely got a defective one. If you want something lighter, check out of the sigma version. Just as sharp but lighter.
Selling the whole system and moving over to the a7cii
@@NathanHassani-kr4bh can’t go wrong with that! Solid choice
@@SamNozuhur I just can't deal with the autofocus on these fuji cameras ( xh2) miles behind sony, plus I'll be getting full frame for the same price.
Why X-H2S ? Why not X-H2.?
For me, 4K120, faster readout from the stacked sensor which also provides better low light performance and less rolling shutter for video. In theory the X-H2s also has better AF. When I upgraded from the X-T4 it just seemed like the better upgrade as I became more video focused.
Hi. How does this Lens compare to the Full Frame 24-70 in Image quality? Is the full frame much better?
Hey! I guess it really comes down the conditions you're shooting in and what you're looking for but if I do start pixel peeping between my sony A7IV and the Fuji, the FF does have that slight edge but I wouldn't call this much better. It's the type of difference that a client wouldn't ever pick up and when it's posted online too, often times it won't get picked up on.
Depends on the bodies. If you compare an XH2 and an A7IV, the XH2 should have slightly better IQ
manual, aperture priority... how did you shoot?!:)
All full manual! I used aperture priority a lot when I had the X-T4 with easy access to the exposure compensation dial but I haven't set up the X-H2S yet as i'm out of custom dials for this mode for now.
ufff
🙌
Try the cheaper and lighter Sigma 18-50 f2.8 zoom. You're unlikely to miss the optical quality of the Fuji for video work only and gives the same brightness as the 16mm zoom.
Definitely on my list to try! Thank you
one suggestion: put the camera at the hight of your eyes
Thank you
Great job, great pics, great videos 🙌🏻
Thank you !
I have nikon d780, and i wanna buy this lens, so nikon d780 doesn't have ibis and sigma isn't VR, so do you have problems when you are shooting ?
It depends on what you're shooting! When I had the Nikon, I wasn't shooting much handheld video so it wasn't a problem and it wasn't needed for photography either. Definitely recommend this lens :)
too nice but i wish u can do more of video test using this camera rather than photography
Thanks! I'll definitely be using this for more video so I can work on a more in depth review just for that. Make sure to subscribe so you can see that when it gets uploaded :)
already subs bro.. i'm planning to buy this camera month end but i am more into videography and i need to see more on it... kindly share a raw flog 2 footage when you do a video review i want to check how my pc can handle it... thankx mate@@SamNozuhur
Good job.
Thanks!
Beautiful pictures and model! 👍🏼
Thank you! :)
Maybe one day if I have the extra cash I’ll pick one up. But right now the sigma 18-50 is my go to
The sigma is still a great option! Much lighter and optically very close too. Hopefully I can get my hands on one again soon for a comparison but from what I've it's a very solid choice. You won't be due for an upgrade for a long time :)
my workhorse lens. hardly ever leaves my camera. fantastically fast, quiet, and sharp!
Love to hear it! Hearing so many others thinking the same really makes it seem like a solid investment. Thanks for watching.
Great model. But the after editing photo has too much contrast imo.
Thanks for watching and your thoughts! :)
The 16-55 is an awesome lens but it has one major drawback for video: It is f2.8 all the way through the zoom range but NOT t2.8. While the aperture remains constant across the range, the transmissivity doesn’t always, and you will occasionally get a sudden brightness change in the middle of a zoom. It doesn’t happen always, but when it does it’s annoying and a lot of work to fix cleanly. The only real way around it is to change the focal length between clips, using it as a “bag of primes” instead of as a zoom. You can’t really blame Fuji for this as it was designed for photography, not for video. It’s an awesome photography lens and probably over-specced for video, at least optically.
Thanks for the comments and completely agree! I believe I touch on this lightly in general when I reviewed the 7artisans cine lens how F stop lenses are not standardised for their light transmission. Fortunately for me, I wouldn’t say I am zooming in and out within one clip and so far I haven’t yet encountered any noticeable change with exposure that could not be corrected when recording in F-LOG. Thanks for watching!
So I have this lens and sometimes when you set for 2.8 it reads is 3.2? Seems like the aperature ring is off. Happen to you?
@@andykline1933 never.. contact Fuji perhaps! And make sure the contacts are clean. Also try setting it to A on the lens and adjust it with the knobs to see if it does allow 3.2 or perhaps the blades are sticking
Your version of this lens’ review is so much cleaner I need to redo mine 😂
Not at all! I love how yours looks. What filter did you use for yours? So clean 👌
@@SamNozuhur graded with dehancer in Davinci resolve bro!
@@Fujiboy.mp4 awesome! I just got it too. So it was just 16-55mm (no ND) alone for the video?
@@SamNozuhur I use the KNF 2-32 variable ND but no diffusion I do that in dehancer
This lens is a gem... great contrast and colors, sharp, built like a tank, handles glare well, def a bag of primes.
Thank you! I’ve been using it more lately and it hasn’t let me down at all. Wasn’t expecting it to be so great for video! The sigma 18-35mm might be used a little less now.
Would love to see an editing workflow video, especially for something like the photos at 4:36. Great video!
Thank you! Stick around and I’ll definitely be sharing workflow and releasing my presets soon too !
Nice one Sam. I opted for the 18-35 for some of the reasons you mention with the 16-55 like the extending zoom issue. I realise I am taking a massive hit on the 18-35 in regards to AF, size and weight but at least that extending zoom thing is not an issue and I get f1.8 as a bonus. It's taken awhile now but my kit feels fairly narrowed down, xf16/1.4, Art 18-35, xf56/1.2 WR, XF50-140. Done. I do hope Fuji refresh both the 16-55 and 50-140, we could do with some f2-2.8 zooms.
Thank you! Your kit sounds pretty awesome. I would love to try out the 50-140 sometime. I'm looking at the 90mm a little more lately as I already have a 70-200mm f2.8 for my Sony and I can have something a little different. How are you liking the 16mm f1.4? That's been on my list for awhile.
Nice video sam
Thankyou! 😊
I’m an event photographer and I own every new Fuji prime and zoom and I just keep going back to the 16-55 because of the versatility as I normally carry the 18mm 1.4 , 33mm and 56 1.2wr on 3 different cameras in one bag but at weddings and events I keep have to changing camera bodies as the environment changes so quickly and now I carry the 16-55 and 56mm wr on another body
Woah that's awesome! I really wish they released a 16mm with the LM instead. The 27mm equiv look from the 18mm is still taking me awhile to appreciate. Unsure why they pushed 18mm more. Do you prefer the 50-140mm over the 90mm too?
50-140 is a lens that’s really underrated because photographers find it boring. It such a sharp and contrasty lens with amazing image quality and I find it’s on par to the 90 for image quality and a lot more versatile
@@Pixelpeeps-69 awesome! I’m so tempted on the 90mm.. I own a 70-200 for my Sony and been using it more but the 50-140 versatility would be great.
Hardest decision ever, Fujinon 18-50 F2.8-4, Fujinon 16-55 F2.8, Sigma 18-50 F2.8, Tamron 17-70 F2.8 🤣🤣🤣
What do you shoot mostly and what do you prioritise the most? zoom range/size/image quality?
I have the Sigma 18-50 after testing the XF 16-55, they are so close that hard to tell, and saved money getting the Sigma.
@@MichaelFrederickPhoto Sigma have been killing it with their lenses for X mount lately. You will still find some benefits to sticking with Fujifilm but often the differences are so minor the best value becomes the sigma lens. The autofocus will be very slightly better on the Fuji lens but we're at a point that AF is so good that it doesn't really matter and it's half the price. Personally I wanted that 16mm length but now sigma have announced a 10-16mm lens too 😂 I still don't regret getting this lens and I know it's going to get used quite a lot.
@@MichaelFrederickPhoto i tested both and the xf is significantly better in high contrast scenarios.
And now the xf16-50 has to be taken into consideration, too.
👍
Thank you
Keep doing videos about the 16-55mm I am also torn about the prime lenses vs the zoom, prime lenses are good,yes, when it comes to artistic side because you really need to move and compose, on the other hand the zoom gives you versatility but if you really want to create you can use each focal length and treat it as a prime you will have the versatility and creativity.
Thanks! Zoom lenses used to make me feel lazy but as I started to understand focal lengths better and how to achieve certain looks it has helped me treat zooms like a prime and I still get to move around and this lens definitely keeps up with primes. I would like to have a little more separation at 16mm but I won't know until I get to try out a 16mm f1.4 to really compare.
@@SamNozuhuryes that what i am doing with my zooms, 18-55 and 16-80 , depends on what i shoot and my mood, i treat every focal length as a prime just at f4 all the way that’s I am really interested on trying or maybe owning a 16-55 f2.8.
Great video. I have the 25 t1.05 I need to do a review of it . Also I subbed . Love supporting fellow Fuji shooters who do youtube also.
Thanks for the sub! Looking forward to seeing your 25mm t1.05 review!
Love to see more on this lens and the 25mm when you get them. Both are on my shopping list too. Great video.
Thank you! 🙏
The quality and effort you put into this video, wow 👏👏👏 Appreciate your in depth & honest review!
Thankyou!
Nice one brother 👍🏼
Thanks ✌️
the only issue is the price for me personally. though it is the best super35.
I'm not sure if i should make a video about this but I find Fujifilm prices to fluctuate the most and I essentially buy all of my gear at "good" times when they drop. I just saw what the X-H2S goes for currently in Australia and I completely understand. When it sits at around $4000 AUD, it is alot. It wouldn't be my recommendation for hobbyists or beginners but if you're shooting professionally with the Fuji system already, then it's a decent investment.
Good job man! Love the pics.
Thanks bro! Appreciate that 🙌
Great portraits
Thank you!
I think the FF / APS-C debate is much more a matter of personal preference, and what matters to you rather than a clear divide between what's "good" and what's "bad" for pro work (or just casual photography!) I've been using an X-T2 paired with an X-H1 for pro work for over a year, and APS-C just became part of how I use my cameras. I don't apply crop factors anymore as APS-C just became my point of reference. I also have a Nikon D700, which is a camera that I absolutely love, and I felt compelled to buy a Nikon D300 which is just an APS-C version of that same camera and it was shocking how little I missed the "full frame look" that the D700 was giving me. Sure, it's better for noise and DR compared to the D300 but at the end of the day if I have to choose which setup I want to carry to do some photography work, I'll just naturally go towards APS-C as I'm more familiar with the rendition of images, focal lengths and apertures. One thing that a lot of people tend to forget is how we're not always shooting wide open. Most of the time a full frame camera will require you to close down the lens at a given focal length and working distance because the depth of field is too shallow, therefore loosing light compared to an APS-C system. Then and there, noise and DR advantage kinda goes down the drain and the difference between the two formats is so small it's meaningless to even compare the cameras only based on sensor size. Believe it or not, the D700 is a camera I shoot for the colors, I couldn't care lessa bout the fact that it's a full frame camera
Thanks for the comment! X-T2 has such amazing colours. When I sold my X-Pro 2 i was tempted to pick up an X-T2 just for fun. I actually got to try out a D700 awhile ago and I loved the images too. Definitely more important how you use it rather than focusing on the sensor size. There are situations one wll provide a "better" image over the other from a technical perspective however it's more important to choose what you like using and that will end up creating the image you like the most.
Nice video! It will be interesting to see Fuji XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR lense if you have a chance to take it
Thankyou! I’ll try to get my hands on one! The range sounds super fun to use.
Good afternoon. Please tell me which camera and lens this video was shot on? At 0:40 for example. Thank you very much.

The real gamechanger in the X-H2S: Preshot ES, and the appropriately large buffer to make it viable even for portrait shoots. There just isn't a better upgrade than significantly increasing your chance to capture THE moment when shooting moving subjects, IMO.
Preshot ES is definitely awesome but i'm sure this was added into the X-T3 and X-T30 II ? The large buffer is great too, has been useful for weddings and fitness. Thanks !
@@SamNozuhur It’s the combo. You can shoot birds in flight with a smaller buffer, because it will have time to empty before you need it again. For subjects that will consistently do things worthy of capturing, though, Preshot ES is only really practically viable if you have a large buffer and a quick way for the camera to save to memory (like CF Express cards). Otherwise, it bottlenecks and either stops capturing or captures with such a slow rate that it’s not worth using. People talk so much about that golden moment, but what’s not talked about is that the moment is often so short that human reaction time isn’t fast enough to press the shutter release once the photographer sees it. This feature increases manyfold the amount of ”classics” one comes home with after a shoot, which IMO is an absurdly worthwhile upgrade for those who shoot moving subjects.
right! I got you. Definitely more useable now then 🙌@@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837
@@SamNozuhur Yessir!
Great video, I agree 35mm is my favorite lens and 50mm is quiet boring!
Thank you! I’d love to experiment with a 50mm prime again for videography but for the time being I think on a zoom it’s sufficient.
Nice video!!!
Thank you!
Great video I use some of the same gear as well. Keep creating 📸📸
Thank you! What's your favourite piece ?
Don’t drop the lens 😆😂 Great video as always!
😅😅 almost!
Nice work mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! 👍
My experience is that Fuji zooms can’t compare with their primes. I gave mine away.
Thanks for your thoughts! I have quite a few primes and they’re definitely amazing. It’s a balance but so far in a professional setting, I’m quite happy. What didn’t you like about your zoom?
Maybe you need to up your skills and don't blame the lens. 🤣. People blame anything ans everything on equipment rather than looking at the mirror.
Idk what you’re smoking but the 16-55 is sharper than some of the primes
I sold off R6 and 5Div gear for the X H2s. Ff is better under low light but other than that absolutely love the Fuji.
That’s a big change! Your back must be thanking you. Welcome to the Fuji side.
Thank you for the video, I love my camera, thanks.
Thanks !
This is exactly the situation I'm in today. I use the X-T3 for social media stuff and my full-frame DSLRs for professional stills. I am thinking about selling off the DLSRs and going with a X-H2 or X-H2S...
I had my Nikon D780 while I had my X-T3 and to me this was the best combo. However, the great thing about going into just one system is that you can then just buy accessories/lenses that are compatible. I struggled with deciding what lenses to buy for each system and I still face that sometimes as it's not a great idea to just keep buying the same lenses for both systems and that is one of the most important things. It's better to invest more into good glass.
I wouldn’t do that especially if your work involves low light and using high iso over 1600 iso? If so you will struggle excepting the additional noise
It’s actually not as bad as you think. I find even iso 3200 quite usable depending on the situation but also if we are comparing this to older DSLRs, I am sure the fujifilm will provide even better low light capabilities than most just because of the newer technology.
@@SamNozuhur Not really! My EOS 1 DX 2012 model is still a bit cleaner at 3200 iso then the XH2s, there very close but if I were to be honest the older FF wins, I have both and use them both regularly, although the XH2s has better dynamic range, AF and color science, so yeah maybe the Fuji is better in some aspects but definitely not low light.
In the end, you need to be practical with what you are using. If you are required to be shooting just low light images for work and you cannot have any extra lighting, then the image can slightly suffer but even then, I have seen many fuji users shoot professional for music festivals with high ISO and produce amazing results. The 1DX in this case may provide a slightly cleaner images in regards to noise, but at the same time you don't have continous auto focus and other features that will allow you to capture more moments efficiently and easier which are a higher priority. I often add a lot of grain and even use diffusion filters so clinically clean images aren't always essential. Lighter setup > chunky DSLR
Just curious would you recommend buying this over a Sony a7iv for a hybrid camera? Thanks.
I think it completely comes down what you're really needing and what your vibe is. Both are amazing systems and I will dive into this topic deeper soon but I can't just recommend one over the other just like that. The A7IV is no doubt amazing and offers a little more flexibility if you do a lot of paid work and low light shooting... but, some clients prefer the fujifilm rendering and colours and others love the sharpness from the sony. Send me a DM on insta and happy to discuss!
You haven't seen that many reviews?
As in I haven’t watched/read many :) I’ll get around to seeing what others think about it eventually (especially yours) I’ve always watched fair bit of your x-t4 videos!
