Using Movie Mode Wrong On Fujifilm X-T5
I've been using movie mode wrong on my X-T5! I learned something that blew my mind and it made this truly a hybrid camera for me. This setting also applies to the X-T4!

    Useful, but you missed one major point... the Light Dome actually had two release tabs, a large one and a smaller one. You didn't mention the smaller one, which serves to reduce the pressure required to open the Light Dome even more. Be sure to release the smaller tab as well as the larger one for easiest setup. You are absolutely correct in that you really must push down to the ground if you are to have any chance of opening the Dome. Thanks for the video.

      XC 15-45 is small & sharp but finicky in use and AF is slow on older bodies somehow. XC 16-50ii is also a hidden gem, very lightweight and almost as good as the xf18-55.

    • @MrPedalpaddle
      @MrPedalpaddle 17 дней назад

      While I hate the experience of using the XC15-45 (zoom, focus, aperture) it does produce nicely rendered photos. I just bought the after-market lens hood for it to control flaring, so I’ll see if it can be an Every Day Carry - even lighter than the 18-55. The 18-55 is a much more pleasurable “Fuji Experience “ lens, though.

    • @MrPedalpaddle
      @MrPedalpaddle 17 дней назад

    I've read (and seen some examples) of some truly abhorrent barrel distortion in the RAWs from the 35mm f2. Apparently this is by design and they rely on software correction in the JPEGs as a cost saving measure. Is that something you've had to work around?

    Hi George! Thank you so much for this video. I am having a very difficult time making up my mind on whether to buy the XF18-55 or the XF16-80 kit lens for the XT-5, and your video has been very helpful. . I am a quite small person and I plan to use it mostly for travel/street photography. I wanted something light that wouldn't hold me back after 4-5 hours of walking. It seems like the XF 18-55 is a better choice. Which one would you recommend as the better option for video?

    • @MrGeorgeCheng
      @MrGeorgeCheng 2 месяца назад

      They both work for video but in my tests the 18-55 works better for video because the focus transitions when changing focus is smoother and the wider aperture gives the ability to have a blurrier background.

  • @williamaungleyraud
    @williamaungleyraud 2 месяца назад

    Interesting, I own both the 16-80mm and the 16-55mm f2.8, and the 16-55mm although heavier lives on my camera 80% of the one. I only go for the 16-80mm when it's going to be bright sunny day, and I need the extra reach plus the ibis comes handy. The new 16-50mm I don't quite see the point other than rendering 40mp, because it's expected to have no ibis making the 18-55mm the better utter and ibis lens for a much better price proposition.

  • @timking1964
    @timking1964 3 месяца назад

    Thanks for the video. Perhaps having both is the way to go! I chose the 16-80 as a kit option for my XT-5, primarily for the additional range. After lugging Canon DSLR’s around, it’s still a fairly portable package. At the 70-80mm focal length, it also makes for a pretty good outdoor portrait lens. It has the same filter size as the 10-24 (which I also have in my ‘landscape kit’), so no faffing about with step up rings. But… the 16-80 can be a bit soft around the edges at the ends of its range and at larger apertures, which is really frustrating. So I now find myself thinking that if there was a nice sharp lens that covered a good chunk of the 16-80 focal range, but in a light weight, even more portable package, I could plug the wider and telephoto ends with small primes. Here I am then, shopping for either the 18-55 or possibly the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8. Such an expensive hobby…

    • @MrGeorgeCheng
      @MrGeorgeCheng 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching! Yes, expensive hobby indeed! I used to always want the most range possible on my lenses so I could just use one lens and save the hassle of having to change lenses when out on a trip. But after I got used to using small primes, every time I decided to bring a zoom, I would almost always opt to bring the lighter one except for specific situations. I'm attracted to the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 as well due to the constant f/2.8 throughout the range. But since I started doing more video, I've heard that the Sigma doesn't perform as well for video compared to the Fuji 18-55. If only shooting stills, then the Sigma would be an interesting choice. I'd love to try it at some point to see how it fares against the Fuji in a variety of scenarios. Thanks for your insights on your experiences with the 16-80, I appreciate the comment.

  • @malfunkt
    @malfunkt 3 месяца назад

    Owned both of these lens, and enjoyed both, but preferred the 16-80, the wider focal range was important and the short telephoto also helps for subject separation, even with F4 you still get a lovely out-of-focus bokeh. In the end, I opted to 'fully compromise' and bought the Tamron 18-300 for my sole zoom lens with the rest of my lenses being primes. The 18-300 isn't as sharp as my previous XF70-300, but it really isn't that far behind all of Fuji zooms in image quality. Yes, the 18-300 is heavier, but after a while, you adjust your holding technique and how you carry. When I want to be discreet, light weight and minimal, the XF35 F2 is one of my top choices, love that lens even more than the XF35 1.4 just for its overall performance and feel.

    • @MrGeorgeCheng
      @MrGeorgeCheng 3 месяца назад

    I have Peak Design *everything* including straps such as the Slide Lite, Leash, Cuff, and Clutch so I gladly ordered the Micro Clutch in Kickstarter to use with my Fuji X100V. I love Peak Design but this product was a total miss for me. I bought the proper non-L plate for the X100V and it wasn't difficult to put on, but was fiddly and took time. It's not a clean solution and it does make the camera larger and battery changes a hassle. The Micro Clutch itself was profoundly uncomfortable. I adjusted it a million different ways but it was always either too loose where it would feel like I would drop the camera or so tight it was uncomfortable and cramped my fingers. I just never felt it was secure and the material isn't that soft. The full sized Clutch, even on a smaller camera, was much more comfortable and felt more secure, or the simple Cuff would do the job too and created a feeling of total security. I ended up putting the Micro Clutch in a draw where it sits gathering dust to this day.
