Thanks for the comparison review!

classic neg ... But I adjusted it by reducing the contrast a little bit as well and adding a little bit more light to classic neck and pretty much that's my one that I use

that Q Button placement make my hand cramp

At any of the extreme scenarios a bigger sensor with a bigger lens will always yield better results. But for 99% of the scenarios, an APSC sensor camera with a good lens (e.g. 56mm F1.2) will yield similar if not identical image quality. An example would be a FF 75mm prime at F1.4, which is pretty much impossible with an APSC sensor camera unless you can find a 50mm F0.9 to match all of its attributes. But how often would you be shooting at FF 75mm F1.4? Depends on your work. For me, I would never shoot like this because I don't get paid for my photos and would be really difficult to even focus and get everything set up to get usable photos with this setting. Not to mention the equipment required to make the full potential of 75mm F1.4!

Rely Like the aesthetics and the bokeh of the Lens but 560g is quit heavy for an manual lens this size - It would be nice to have slightly lighter E-mount version of it.

Just to ask, as I can't find this information anywhere... what is the body made of both in silver and black version? Aluminium? Plastic?

No issue with battery. I shoot all day and only take 1 battery. Just activate the plane mode

Viltrox 56mm f1.4 is amazing in terms of IQ, weight and price. Go to that one. Brighting star is still doing meh lenses.

Bye bye X-T100's and XM5 is so much cheaper and versatile? This move from Fuji is direct pressure from extensive penetration from mobile phone usage plus improved/enhanced features (basic AI features) from Mobile phones plus quality of their lenses.

One of the best cameras they ever made.. LOVE mine, for many years now.

I own this with my x-s20. I am having autofocus problem when using aperture smaller than 4.. Is it just me?

In these days, when smartphones dominate photography due to their ease of use and compact size, a new version of the X70 makes even more sense. It’s still unclear why they stopped developing that model-perhaps they prefer to focus on selling lenses instead of cameras.

Owner of Mk I here, and I don’t think I’ll be upgrading (my money will go instead to the Mk II of the 56mm WR). Had it been an internal zoom design like the 50-140mm, I’d preorder it on Day One. I remember opting once not to bring my 16-55mm to the beach precisely because of the telescoping zoom and brought primes instead.

You have both lenses. If you can shoot 20 seconds product video with your hand to distract the focus with both lenses, we would able to see the autofocus performance.

I purchase the new 23. I don't know if its my copy but its not that sharp and misses focus at 1.4. I use a xt4 body. What do you think? Did some of you have the same experience that it's not quite sharp at 1.4.

how is it if I use it with viltrox 75mm?

how is it if I use it with viltrox 75mm?

Thanks for the video, I wonder if the mark ii have less distortion at 16mm and 55mm than mark I. Uncorrected.

Sadly, no actual resolution test and distortion and chromatic abberations tests.

please, place the OLD thing on the left side and the NEW thing on the right side of the screen when comparing. That's a mind standard, another behaviour frustrates!

What focal length is that viewfinder??

Are they doing to make again the XE line?

Not the same price as the mk 1 in France : huge difference actually !

It looks nice… Too bad I was never into the silver versions if cameras z

In fuji land, the beeping sound doesn't necessarily mean 'focus nailed'. Hard to tell from yhe video whether AF was accurate or not but great to see some significant reduction in weight. Can't wait to see a full prod copy review.

what color does everyone like? black or silver?

There’s nothing beginner about those video specs.

I only have 2 primes for my T5 at this time....liking the focal range and new upgrade of this lens...This is on my Buy list, nice review

$900 is cheap? damn the camera companies really manipulated everybody haha//

I was able to score a slightly used MK1 for $500 USD. Definitely keep an eye out for deals on FB marketplace

No point in upgrading really. The 16-55 is the best ever wide to mid zoom. If you have the Mk1 stick with it. If you're new to this by all means get the Mkii, only pixel peepers will tell the difference and even then they could get it wrong. The smart choice is to get the mki at discounted prices once the Mkii is established.

Would be good to compare the mk ii with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 . I believe the Sigma is still smaller

"This tiny lens"???

Thanks for the test! One thing I’m curious about is distortion; did you notice any barrel or pin cushion distortion? Thanks!

As the owner of Mark one, I don’t see any real reason to upgrade, as it didn’t seem any sharper to me, but it makes me feel like my old version is still quite good, just a little heavier!

Great review! Sold!

What a funny autofocus test. Try tracking in video and your xh2 will make you lose your patience in 5 minutes

Bro not trying to be rude, can we go down to the action straight instead of talking. I come here to see the size difference and the output. Your opinion is very insightful but maybe leave it at the conclusion.

frankly they both look similar in size (still bulky for the crop sensor systems) pass

Is this new lens an internal focusing lens?

Awesome! I will buy this with the normal glass because I don’t like the effect of a haze filter. Atm I use the Nisi UHD UV to protect the V lens and got weather resist, but it is ugly and I don‘t have a hood 😂

the black looks very elegant. the overall size is only a tad smaller than XE4 considering it doesn't have evf. hopefully they would release a X70 successor though.

I love the colors in the shots you take fujifanboy!!

You pretty much covered everything awesome video keep it up, brother. Best video on the 16-55 mark 2 ❤

If I didn't already have the 16-55mm MK1 I would be waiting for all the used MK1's to flood the market and pick up one very cheap. That's a no brainer!!

You are a great reviewer. You identified the relevant points of difference and didn't use too many words to describe them. Almost like poetry. Maybe a happy side effect of having English as not your first language (although you speak it very well). Your visual examples also really show these differences well, and your recommendation makes sense. A+ video, subscribed to your channel.

Great lens and if I didn't already have the Mk i I'd be all over it. I'd love to see Fuji use the weight savings technology to release an f/2 or f/1.8 version with twin linear motors or whatever else it takes to make it a screamer in terms of AF. That's where I tend to shoot my primes so that would cover me for a lot of environments. Nothing better sometimes than a one-and-done lens.

Is it parfocal? How well it maintains focus during zooming? It's very important for video.

how's the edge sharpness which is the most important part?

Thanks for the few sample images. Just wish there were more samples. Will be disappointed if Fuji does not update older X-t3 and X-T30 firmware to use the adjustable.focus throw and declicked aperture. Some functions of the 18-120mm will not work on older camera bodies. I should be able to buy new lenses without having to also buy new camera. I was considering adapting Canon EF-S 17-55 but I would prefer this if IQ is better than Mk 1. It's only missing OIS but otherwise very promising for video. I think the Mk 1 version was over rated and did not like.
