- This video is all about my experiences using the fantastic Fujinon MK cinema lenses adapted to RF mount. The focus is with the RED Komodo but I also talk about the Canon RF cameras too. It isn't a review of the Komodo, I do give some thoughts on it, that will come at a later date.

Honestly, your reviews are alway in a different league than all the others. Great video as always.
His colors in the video are heartbreakingly beautiful. Wow.
They are in a different league, always amazing
Thank you for your honesty
there is no other better option when it comes to practically reviewing a gear.. Love how greatly you explain things
Your use of music and the structure of your videos is always so good, and you really make ordinary life look amazing in your sample footage 🤩
Incredible job, never fail to impress. I’m always completely immersed when you post reviews like this and the extra time and effort but takes to produce these shows in the overall quality. Loved it! 😊
Thanks Philip, inspirational use of images as per usual that really showcase those lenses. Your use of music is exceptional and really suits these style of presentations too.
Thank you Scott!
your videos are always on another lever, no matter what the video is about! so well put together, along with the beautiful music and your awesome voice as a voice-over. I so enjoy watching them, even if it's about a product I probably will never use (like these lenses). Keep being awesome Philip! I will always make time to watch your videos :)
Thanks as always Ronald :)
@@philipbloom Beautiful work as usual Mr. Bloom. I was wondering what music service you use and what keywords you search for while choosing the music? Also, if you could tell me the name of the song at 10:14, please.
You make the best reviews of anyone I’ve ever watched. Such excellent music selection and footage
Thanks Cory. Much appreciated:)
Why are you so talented? By watching your reviews, I am always submerged in peacefulness. Wonderful job Bloom.
I've literally had these lenses on my wishlist since they came out and I finally got the funds and circumstances to buy them as soon as possible. I am so glad this video justified my decisions. I cannot wait. They are perfect for my uses.
Lesson to learn here: let's face it, I am not a videographer and I am always gonna be at the bottom range of the video capture sport.
But I am here and staying for the sheer beauty of the motion pictures, the calm narration, the soothing music.
And still I learn something in the process...
Thank you Tobias :)
He has an eye, doesn't he? Bittersweet to see Sarah in one clip.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 not really. She’s my bestie.
@@philipbloom I thought you split up! Good news. She's a beautiful woman.
Gorgeous images, as always. Beautiful and immersive. A dream-like slice of the world (and nice lens review, too, of course).
Every time I see a new video, I'm always struck by the commitment to your craft that you continue to cultivate. I also think, foolishly, "Ah! Now THIS is the best gear combination he's used so far, so surely if I copy it exactly then I'll get great results." It turns out that talent, artistic vision, decades of experience, and dedication to endlessly improve and refine your skills is more important than the gear, since I keep having the same reaction no matter what kit you use. Who knew?? :)
Nice look at the MK zooms, Phillip. Beautiful. Good to hear the opinion of a veteran ENG shooter. I recall shooting with 2/3" cameras in the 1990's using Fujinon and Canon ENG zooms. That was back when "parfocal" wasn't a common term. Of course they hold focus. :) Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing more.
Wow. The mood of that video... felt so comfy to watch.
Great video. The L-Mount adapter kit for the Fujinon MKs from MTF services is wonderful news for S Series cameras too.
Thanks for this Philip Bloom!!! Love the Red Footage and would love to see a full review!!! Thanks again!
such a pleasure to watch your video again
These videos r way better for meditation/relax than any other kinda "lofi hiphop" thing. U always put your calm personality into your videos. Love it! Also u have a great skill to put emotions into different parts of the "story" with intangible techniques. Using the perfect combination of catchy words and music together. For me its kinda Attenborough-like documentaries.
You’re images are always incredibly beautiful and majestic. But you have a great sense of music, too. Bravo to you!🙏🏻
Thanks Jacob :)
I have wanted those lenses for quite sometime. Just gotta save up. Beautiful work as always.
A true piece of art Mr Bloom, pulling the extraordinary out of the mundane!
Beautiful imagery as always, Philip. Thank you for your time and effort in this one.
Great Video Phillip! Makes me want to grab a pair of those Fujinons!
Nice images, nice music, nice voice, nice guy.
Nice job, Bloom.
Off topic but the ending song so reminds me of Edward Scissorhands. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Extremely well done.
I should be ashamed for not have known of your absolutely fantastic content/channel and "esoteric knowledge" previously. Wow!
Thank you for this philip video, I like your style.
I used these fuji zooms are very good stick.
But now you have increased my indecision between Sony FX6 or Red Komodo.
Persona
Cheers! the FX6 is a better for me, full frame, HFR without cropping. 120p in 2k crop is way too much for me on the Komodo. Using these on the FX6 means setting the camera to 1.3x clear image zoom.
Love r3d but global shutter is not essential for me as the read rate of the fx6 sensor is super fast soreally minimal rolling shutter
@@philipbloom thanks. Always very clear and kind. Most likely to pass to Sony FX6 plus a Sony FX3 for use on Gimbal, so you have room A and room B and be fast. I currently work for Panasonic so I use the Eva1 as their ambassador, a camera still very valid and with a high quality file, but I feel the need to switch to the full full frame sensor, definitively, after the negative crop experience that I did not welcome On the Panasonic S1H.
9:05 bet he thought no one would catch that, let alone in 4k 😂
Amazing review as always!
I swear, I thought I was the only one who noticed!
heyooo 😏
I know what you’re referencing without even clicking that 👋
Thank you! Beautiful review as always. I love the calm and rational way you approach gear, but also with curiosity and playfulness.
🙌 Komodo + MK + PB =🍿🎥
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Nice vid as always homie Bloom!! It’s Tarik!!!
These reviews are always a treat. Thank you!
I ❤️ Philip Bloom. After all these years on point. The music is gorgeous.
This guy is a legend. The music, the editing, the voiceover - a true inspiration. I watch all RUclips at 1.75x speed but not here. I have to savor every moment of a Bloom video.
Of all the footage he has, he put a shot of Sarah in the video... so sweet ❤️
Lovely to watch and listen to your calm voice.
Wow and I thought I was only getting a lens review! 2 birds one stone later, I'm finally starting to understand my Canon R5 thanks to your wonderful video. I'll be coming back for more.
Fantastic review philip! I was already interested in these lenses, but now I'm sold! (As soon as I buy an fx6!!) I'm sure I won't make anything with them as beautiful as you have, but I'll try my best
Can’t wait for a Komodo review!
Philip Bloom is The Godfather of making quality reviews.
It seems like you preferred using the Canon R5, with these lenses, more than anything. You've got me sold on that camera... I'll probably buy one directly from Kolari, which mods it with a heatsink to increase recording/recovery timeframes.
Be careful in those rapids friend. Amazing footage. Still the best reviews to watch on RUclips.
I had deep sea diving boats to keep me rooted!
Love these lenses too, I was fortunately enough to try the 18-55 and simply loved it 👍
Great review. I feel I’ve learnt more about lenses in this one video then most. Thanks !
Thank you 😊
That Red RAW footage really took me by surprise. To say that it has more "pop" to it than I'm used to seeing from digital is an understatement.
P Bloom. An artist and a gentleman.
I don't have any uses for these lenses or the Red, but the video is gorgeous, the music is well chosen, and the British accent is always charming. Heh.
Mr. Bloom thank you for your review. With such a good report you have with Fujifilm, I'm sure you can encourage them to produce their own version of the Canon C70 for the upcoming Fuji XH2. This is the one area they are yet to explore: A dedicated compact cinema camera. Regards!
Thank you. I can’t imagine they would make one. Way too much competition out there!
A review like a movie! Love it.
Top notch reviews & your the David Attenborough of video
That R5 “hack” is incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video as always Philip. I think you might actually have shot some footage of Scottish pop star Lewis Capaldi at the 13:43 mark… ✨
Beautiful photography, stellar info. Thank you. 👍
Stunning images! Pleasure to watch :)
The Komodo footage looks amazing
What beautiful work Phillip!
You are one crazy Motha Farja walking through that flooding with that gear. One trip and youre done, youre a super hero.
Why would I trip though? You take it easy and you will be fine. It is after all just a flooded pavement :)
Watch value of, not just this doccie, but most others of yours is future-proof
Hey, is this the video that Harriet was rendering for you the other day? You’re so lucky to have her, it’s hard to find good help!
She did a great job sneaking in the cats, too, which is the best part of any tech related video. She’s good!
he is making me love the sony collors, beacause he is one of the guys you give a camera in the hand and he paint that shit gold.
Such beautiful images with these lenses and the Komodo. Great work and video.
In general, do you mostly shoot with still AF lenses or with these cinema Fujinon MK lenses?
I have a R5 too, using the RF 50 & 85 mm 1.2 for recording 8K (IPB), incredible image quality.
Yes I use ipb 8k too. It’s very good quality
Surprise to watch this :)
What a time to upload :P
Been uploaded for a while. Just published it now. It’s a good time for the US!
Great video Philip. I'm just wondering if you could tell me what frame rates you can use with Clear Image Zoom on the FX6 using the Fujinon MK lenses as on the a7siii I think it only allows up to 50fps? Thanks again
Yep clear image zoom is up to 50p but if you go to DCI 4K that is slightly cropped plus 100p is slightly cropped and have practically cleared the vignette
What battery is on the back of your Komodo? Looks very cool!
It’s mine :)
Wonderfully done and very informative. Already wanted the MKX50-135 for my X-S10 (ridiculous combo, I know). Now I can't sleep until I get it. I always know I am watching a Philip Bloom production, because my hear rate drops dramatically. Must be the voice, or the cats, or the slo-meowtion, or the music, or all of the above.
It looks like a good lens, but again, everything you film looks awesome. Hope you had a hot tea after getting soaking wet in that water 😲. The Red Komodo… although I love cubes, I think I’d prefer the fx6!
Thank you PB!!! I was looking for a cine lens package to pick up that I could use with my r5 and red dragon
amazing quality of review. WOW!
Thank you Philip
I have an unusual question. Do you have issues focusing both long and close focus as a glasses wearer? As a short sighted glasses wearer myself I’m having issues and was wondering if you face the same problem and how you work around it? Thanks.
Yeah I did until I got some varifocals it’s not ideal if the monitor is high. Otherwise I have what are called my occupational ones set for computer distance at top and reading at the bottom but I have them on glasses around my neck so I can take them off for looking at distance.
@@philipbloom thanks for the reply. I’m going to have to look into something similar. Currently I’m using contacts for distance and off the shelf reading glasses on top of the contacts for close ups. Not ideal though, a right pain.
First of all really appreciate all the info Phillip, great job. I’m actually owner of both MK Fujinon lenses and love the image they give for documentaries. Been thinking about getting a Komodo, do you recommend it?
It’s a good camera. For me, as I mention in the video the FX6 is my main camera.
What would it take to get Phillip Bloom & Media Division to make a video together.... or collaborate
Gorgeous images from the Komodo. Would love to know who had it in stock!
awesome work as always! Thanks
Thank you so much for this. I would love to see the MKs on the Sony FX6 with Clear Image Zoom 1.3 crop mode. Do you have any samples to share because I was thinking of getting the FX6 and Fujinon MKs but wasn't sure how they would look. Thanks in advance kind sir.
Excellent video man! BTW... I'm just curious about when to input focal length? Are you putting in the value before(18mm) or what it would be after(26.mm) the 1.45x enhanced stabilization is applied?
cheers. No, remember that a lens is a lens is a lens. 18mm is always 18mm. You are still getting a field of view on an 18mm even if its not full frame.
These are beautiful lenses. In case you have a spare Z-Cam lying around, you might like to see how they perform on that camera (either of the Super 35mm S6) or the F6/8. There's now a Viltrox Z-cam E-Mount which looks like it'll do the trick, as well as bring some of the excellent E-Mount glass to the Z-Cam. We're slowly running out of reasons not to buy into that system :-)
You should check out my F6 video from earlier this year. That was with the viltrox and Sony lenses
@@philipbloom Excellent! Oh dear - more difficult conversations with the Bank Manager now look imminent!
Hi Philip, This video helped me a lot to find the answer I was looking for. So I have the same lenses but it's E mount. I was using it on my Sony FS5. I have ordered Canon R5C and would love to make the MK lenses work with the new camera. Where can I get the RF mounts?
White fish dinner is big time at the Bloom house!
How did it go with your Solo100 legs under water? I dont think I would put my miller tripod (Solo 100 + Compass 25 ) in that situation/ But I have timelapses with a cheap triftshop tripod in madagascar in the sea :)
I’ve been in the sea with them many times!
@@philipbloom Good! I used mine today on a shoot for a promo for a metal festival :) Only problem hard to control my camera on max height! :D
@@unimog404 high heels.
@@philipbloom I already wear them on set!
I have been following you for over 10 years. My brother in film I've never met (but hope to someday do)
Great photography.. mate..!!
Hey Philip, great review. I was confused for many months not knowing what lenses to go with as a long term investment/use. Your review helped me decide on the Fujinon MK-R’s. I’m curious, what ND filter are you using? Shown at 11:04. I’m looking for an alternative to my matte box for lower profile set ups. Thanks!
Cheers Julian! That’s the Revoring. My current favourites are the new freewell magnetic system
@@philipbloom What about the color shift between the Revoring and the Freewell?
Do non variable NDs produce less color shift?
It's still not very clear for me after several tests.
Best in the biz
Imagine if they’ll decide to make more fast primes
14:49 that snack almost got stuck lol
Interesting about the clear image zoom on the FX6. Any downsides to using that mode/noticeable quality difference? One of the reasons I haven't been considering it is because I have these lenses but the FX6 lacked the super35 mode that the FX9 has. Currently using them on the FS7.
No noticeable imagine difference
Another great video!
Hey mate, you seem to like a lot to shoot with tele lenses, have you tried Tamron's new 150-500mm for Sony E? Would love to hear your take on it and if it's any good at $1400 in your opinion, compared with Sony's native offerings. Cheers!
Thanks so much for that piece. I echo the many comments, always beautifully done and its a timely subject as the MK's have seemingly been forgotton post DZO, but I am slightly confused. I totally understand that this isnt a Komodo review but in both the Komodo and R5 footage I am finding it hard to see the detail and sharpness that I remember these lenses having. I can remember back in the day when you were a fierce advocate of pulling down the sharpening and saturation from DSLR settings and although I am sure that its down to the youtube compression the images seem quite saturated and high contrast. I know this is all to taste but do you prefer a less flat less desaturated image in general? I understand its hard to show off the fidelity of the lens through youtube. I believe that I am watching potentially a 2K file but will you be posting on vimeo any high res images for download. Thanks again for all yout thoughful output.
It's already on Vimeo ken on my main channel. I don't add post sharpening and i always shoot with my cameras and minimal or off if possible. I don't want it. 5d had no flat profile hence low contrast and low saturation.
Image is graded to rec709, nothing stylised deliberately.
Sharpness/ contrast and sharpness have no connection. Can be sharp and flat or contrasty. Up to how you grade.
@@philipbloom Thanks for that. Its always appreciated.
@@philipbloom Thanks for that and sure I get that. I guess when I am looking to check fidelity and detail in a lens, I am looking for sharp detail and I often look for specific textures that I am familiar with and are good indicators, that high contrast can sometimes hide. eg shadow details and skin or fabric textures particularly in the blacks, cotton v lycra, v waterproof fabric, all black but with subtle and different reflectivity and detail. In much the same way that animal fur can be a great guide (your cats as a perfect example) one of the best illustrations of the kinefinity MAVO LF (fidelity for want of a better word) were the shots you took of one of your cats on the bed. I guess I err towards a flatter less saturated image because it feels like I can "see" those different textures better. Sometimes people say more Arri than RED but that in itself is a bit confusing. When reading overall composition of a picture I understand that contrast is often needed to delineate different objects within the frame to make things "pop" and for that reason I can totally see why RED and the sometimes aggressive grades that are often associated with RED are so good for drama or digital delivery. Anyway I appreciate you response and look forward to your thoughts on the Komodo in due course. Meanwhile your thoughts on the mystical unicorn that is the Mavo 8K would be of great interest. Thanks for all your work.
9:06 Right hand, in the right moment!
Amazing.
It's a shame you can't convert the MKX versions and retain the lens metadata with the new lens mount. Oh well.
your audio tracks are beautiful! where do u get them? what to type on keyword searches? hehe
Did you check the description? :)
Hi Philip, here's a question that might be worth doing a video on. I have a Canon DSLR with EF lenses and was about to jump to mirrorless lenses probably with the Canon R3. However your reviews are making me question whether I shouldn't take the opportunity to switch entirely into, say, Sony, or perhaps another brand. In the past it's been prohibitively expensive to do so, and probably still is, but I'm interested in peoples views on this.
Sooo, your idea is to do a video comparing Canon and Sony cameras? Please tell me you just woke up from a 5 year coma.
@@loudandclearmedia No it isn't what I was writing at all. Your ignorance is unwelcome. Why bother commenting with garbage like that?
Redcode might be a 16 bit container but the files are 12 bit log, and 16+ stops of DR right, we both know Arris 14 stops are higher then the komodo
Mate, who cares.
Hello Philip, always impressed by the sharpness of your videos when uploaded to RUclips and wondered if you could let me into the secret! Whenever I upload they always lose their sharpness! Any tips please? I edit using Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
I just upload an h265 mp4 export with a bit rate of about 60mbps
Great work thank you
Right now, the Komodo seems really really tempting. Such beautiful footage. I think you might have a future in filmmaking.
I have the much cheaper Sigma Art lenses. They are big and heavy, but what would you say about image quality between the two lenses?
They clip ears after spay/neuter in England too? Super?
can red komodo shoot in 24p?
