- A landscape photography shoot with the 'controversial' Fuji XF 16-80mm lens. Also the excellent 55-200mm Zoom lens too!
Well, whatever is going on with this lens, I'm very happy with its performance, sharpness and flexibility. I am most certainly NOT sponsored by Fuji in case anyone is wondering!

Excellent pictures Nigel. It shows up the beautiful colour saturation of the 16-80 and how sharp it is. I have been amazed with this lens since I had it from the day of release. The O.I.S x6 is great for my old shaky hands. Used virtually all Fuji lenses except the 80mm & 90mm. This one is the best for a one lens solution by far.
Thanks very much Gary! I forgot to mention that at a 1/4 second 6 stops would be approximately equivalent to 1/240 sec when shooting at the 80mm end. So you obviously have to press that shutter button carefully and perhaps shoot a burst? Cheers!
Excellent pictures and a brilliant 'mate-in-the-pub' delivery....... subscribed !!!!
Thanks a lot Dave! And thanks for subscribing. Cheers!
The lens is fine. On my list to acquire at some point. The problem is that too many amateur "videographers" want to use lenses intended for stills to make RUclips videos.
Yes, the lens is fine! Horses for courses and obviously cine lenses are far more expensive. It's all down to what you want from a lens. But this one is not for zooming whilst filming which is not a problem for me as it's primarily for stills. Cheers!
Your photography and video is stunning. Why hasn't RUclips recommended your channel to me before? Subbed and going through all of your videos now.
Once again, thank you so much for your kind comments! Thanks too for subbing, and I've returned the compliment and subbed to your channel tool! You'll be a glutton for punishment if you watch all my very varied and whacky videos 🤣 But i'll appreciate it anyway👍
@@NigelHarperPhoto Nigel, I'm a sucker for the whacky, so bring it on!
@@paulasimson4939 Whew! That's OK then! Thanks once again❤👍
Enjoyed the video.
KEYWORD: PARFOCAL (A parfocal lens is a lens that stays in focus when magnification/focal length is changed. There is inevitably some amount of focus error, but too small to be considered significant). I have found more info on the problem - which it might not be the problem after all.
According to Martin Heilbron the feature we are looking for is not available in these lenses, but admitedly some perform better then others in this regard. To get 'parafocaled' one has to look towards cinema line of lenses.
Hi, Glad you enjoyed the video. Well, Maarten Heilbron certainly knows what he's talking about, so the varying focus when zooming must be inherent to the lens design I guess.
Ah Nigel, another great Video about My Favorite Fuji Kit Lens the 16-80mm. In spite of the many negative reviews concerning Focus Problems when zooming and extreme corner softness I feel the overall excellence of this superb Lens is unrivaled and I have owned at least 12 of Fuji's best lenses by now. As an Old Blighter like you, Im a retired Pro shooter for 50 Years and now a fine Arts shooter for pleasure and Publication. Your Images are just a pleasure to see. like My close friend the great Photographer David Thomas you are quite a character. I wish I could visit the UK once more to meet you in person. but with Covid 19 going across the Pond is out for now. I look forward to many more videos from you in the future. Cheerio. Eric Gilbert.
respect to you great man
Great vid Nigel! Nice bit of motivational vlogging to get lazy herberts like me up & out to shoot early!👍 Impressive shots with that new lens. Might save the pennies and treat myself to one next year!👍📷😊
Thanks very much Tony! Yes, despite its noted issues, I'm finding it a versatile optic. Regarding getting out this time of year, it's a lot easier when sunrise is 7.55am, but leaving a warm bed is tough! Hahaha, cheers!
Nice samples. Make sure your X T3 is in boost mode when the OIS kicks in. The XF 16 to 80mm OIS WR lens far exceeded my expectations and it's closeup ability is a huge plus especially for bokeh lovers. A great all around lens!
Yes, I think it is mostly in boost mode! Anyway, as you say it's a great all round lens. Cheers!
I can feel your happiness :D
Thanks, I am a happy chappy. Cheers!
Your video probably the most informative to the Fuji 16-80 so I bought one today will text it on my trip coming up soon. Fuji XT 3 Shooter. 😊
Thanks J C, have fun with your new lens. Cheers?
Really enjoying your vids! Keep up the great work
Thanks Christopher, I'll certainly try. Cheers!
Beautiful photos and great video!
Thanks very much Jozef. Cheers!
Oh you got my subscribe with this one .Some shot are just gorgeous ! I bought ''that lens'' shhhh '' love it ! Thank you great video !
Thanks for subscribing and for your kind comments. Enjoy your lens and photography. Cheers!
Beautiful video. Thanks. I’m particularly taken by the English countryside birdsong chorus. It makes one realize how much nature we miss in the city. I’m also glad to see your success with this lens. There’s been so much controversy especially from those more video oriented. This video has helped me to put things back into perspective (excuse the pun), and ignore the pixel peeping and video fanatics. While they are knowledgeable, their obsessive analysis can create « analysis paralysis « in the potential buyer.
Lastly, doesn’t anyone in England begin the day with a good cuppa tea anymore? 🤗
Thanks very much Keith. I'm lucky to live in the countryside and have this scenery on my doorstep." analysis paralysis", love the phrase! The 16-80 is a great lens to use and I'm obviously happy with it. However, I'm tempted to do just one more optical test with it and hopefully silence the sceptics? I've been drinking coffee in preference to tea for many years and in the UK we have more coffee shops than estate agents etc now! Cheers!
This video was beautiful.
Thanks very much for your kind comment. Cheers!
Hello Nigel, new subscriber here. Loved your video, informative happy commentary and wonderful images, without all the 'yada yada yada look at me rubbish' that you see to much of on here. Thank you .
Thanks a lot Alfie, that's very much appreciated. I will be doing more Fuji camera and lens reviews and shoots in the future, so thanks again for subscribing! As you've probably gathered my channel has a bit of variety in subject matter, so hang in there! Cheers!
Thanks Nigel, nice photos from both lenses !!
Thanks very much Alain. Cheers!
nice review and pics...just bought a mint used T3 after selling my X100V....I think will buy this lens to go with my 35mm prime and 14mm prime really need the zoom range and with the WR and OIS !
Thanks Ed! You're going to find the 16-80 a really versatile lens - have fun! Cheers
Great video and pics.I got the 16-80 last week and love it.I'm confused by the firmware updates? Do I need to install both i.e 1.01 followed by 1.02 or can I just jump straight to 1.02?
Thanks very much Si. Re updates good question! I'm not sure, but would install 1.01 and then 1.02 as you say. Cheers!
Gorgeous work
Great video thanks Nigel
Thanks very much David, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Great video! Haven't you discovered soft corners with the 16-80? Many reviews criticise that so I'm not sure if I should get that lens for landscape photography in combination with the X-H1 ...
Thanks Patrick! It's a great versatile lens, ideal for travel, landscape or portrait photography. I've not noticed soft edges affecting any of my images. Of course all lenses are particularly zooms are softer at the edges than the middle when wide open. Although for most landscape photography one would normally stop down anyway. If it was that bad at the edges, I would have certainly said so! Cheers!
@@NigelHarperPhoto thank you for your answer! :)
@@patrick.771 You're welcome!
Hi sir, how is the image stabilizer on 16-80 for vdo?
Hi Kuro, Well, it helps I guess, but in camera body stabilisation (IBIS) would make the most difference when filming. I've done very little video with this lens and my cameras are the XT3 and XT20. Cheers!
@@NigelHarperPhoto Hi Nigel, i heard that Xf16-80mm work better on the X-T3, it seems problematic with the X-H1... i think having 2 stabilization ( in the camera and the lens ) does not work well.... but ok with the X-T3.
