I’ve been in Fuji space since the XE1 was new. Then the XT1, and finally now finally got the XT4 finally. Lol. My light weight prime lens set is the Laowa 9/2.8, Fuji 16/2.8, Fuji 35/2, and Laowa 65/2.8 APO 2x Macro. Fun to travel with a small sling bag full of tiny primes! But I also have the 56/1.2 and the 55-200, which are both also fantastic. I want to add the new 10-24 and 50/2 as a two lens combo for hiking. Also, I love my SmallRig wooden grip - the wood makes me happy - but I removed the L bracket portion. Recently, I got the Houge metal lens shade for the 35/2, and now that lovely lens also looks as awesome as it should on the XT4. For lightest walkabout, it’s the two lens 16/2.8 and 35/2 that get the most use. No bag at all. One lens on the body, and one in my pocket. I also highly recommend Fuji Raw Studio freeware. And finally, sometimes I’m nostalgic for my old film 6x6 medium format TLR Mamiya. So I’ll set up my Fuji to square format with a single prime lens and shoot in black and white. That’s a lot of fun. On my old XT1, I flip the screen out and shoot waist level looking down onto the LCD. So it really gets the framing similar to the TLR. Haven’t done this yet on the new XT4, so I will see if the flippy LCD detracts or not. But I think the XT4 will provide better film simulation settings for B&W nostalgia. Shooting square changes your framing composition, so that’s just a joy when you need a change. Anyway, I love your enthusiasm. Keep the videos coming, please.
Great video. I don't throw my kit around so don't need a padded camera bag. I'm looking for something slim. I have the Nikon 100mm F2.8 & Fuji 23m F1.4. I really like the kit 15-45mm lens at 15mm too.
Lady I got 35 f1.4, 18-55,, f2.8, 55-200mm and fuji xe3,xt3 and im so happy only with this aw sorry macro? fuji mcex-16 with 18mm is very very close to subject ;)
i travel with 3 lenses at the moment for my canon camera. My budget is limited and my space as well. Traveling long term. I have a 10-18mm for landscape, a 24mm prime lens for close-ups and a 55-250mm zoom for everything else. But actually, I am more on a knitting kick than photography. Thanks for sharing this new channel
Check out MPB. Good used gear. I think I’ve bought all of my gear off them besides my initial sl3 from canon. But I switched to fuji a while after as well.
7:08 135mm (on Full Frame-35mm) = 90mm (on fuji XF) easy way to remember is remembering the 35mm. 35mm on fujifilm is 50mm on full frame meaning everything that has to be mounted with adapters will be devided by 1.5
Hi Kristin! Nice to see you back. :) I haven’t traveled in a while, like most of us, but my last trip was a Fujifilm X-T30 with the V1 27mm/f2.8, the 50mm/f2, and the 18-55mm/f2.8-4. I was able to pack that body with all 3 lenses, spare batteries, and charger in a Pelican 12x10x5” box that fit INSIDE my carry-on. It worked out wonderfully. I just packed my little 8” Tenba DNA Messenger bag flat in my luggage and loaded in to it when I reached my destination. You could probably do the same with a X-S10 body and it would complement your X-T4.
Thanks, Ken! Great kit, as well - sounds perfectly compact 🙌 also, that 50mm f/2 has easily become one of my go-to's. Thanks for sharing! (ps - I considered the X-S10, but went with something smaller. I'm sure you have a good idea, but will spill the beans, soonly! 😆)
Finally!!! Another Kristin video!!! FUJI FTW!!! I'm gonna be staying in the Fuji ecosystem for years to come as well! I love my 16-80mm kit lens! It's perfect for everyday use and video work! Love those tele photos!!! Definitely looking to purchase some additional lenses once I get more serious about RUclips and Photography and get more money first! Awesome video Kristin! Glad to see you back!
X100V is a good B-cam, especially with the new update, you can use the built in ND in video. i'm trying to sell my Canon M6 to get a second Fuji body since a) I want a more permanent setup of my special telepromter Fuji camera as a webcam setup; and b) i did some video freelancing work and with multicam interview and now know the importance of having 2 similar log files to colour match them afterwards. generally i go out with a Fuji 16mm 1.4 and a 56mm 1.2
Just one thought: I'm not hating on Minolta, as a matter in fact I too do have some, but if bulk and weight are cumbersome, I'd recommend either Olympus OM or Carl Zeiss Jenna, both 135mm f3,5, both half the size and weight compared to your Minolta lens...
I've also recently delved into the Fuji ecosystem; I haven't touched my Canon dslr even once since the Fuji purchase. I'm personally really keen to pick up the 90mm f2.
I keep finding myself using the kitlens on travels, I just can't be bothered with switching lenses or fumbling around with primes. Sure it is not the sharpest of the bunch, but since I shoot around f7 / f8 anyway it is more then sharp enough. Thought about getting the 16-55 f.28, but I can't justify the marginal differense at that apperture. With the 10-24 it is the perfect mini traavel kit for my shooting needs
You mentioned not having the right ND filters with you. Just curious if tried using the ND filter that's built into your X-100V on your trip or if that wasn't strong enough.
I only had the X-T4 with me on the trail and actually didn't have *any* ND filters with me. lol I'm not sure, but even with the ND filter turned on, on the X100V, it wouldn't be strong enough to capture slow shutter speed photography, since it was a really sunny day. 🤔 I did some digging online and it seems the x100v's ND filter only has 4 stops.
When I take a travel kit similar to yours, I take the 16-55mm f/2.8 Fujinon instead of the 18-55. I also take an adapted 105mm f/2.8 Nikkor macro instead of a 135. For a third lens, I take a 12mm Zeiss f/2.8 instead of the Rokinon 12mm.
Great minds ... and all that! Thanks for sharing 😄 I love the 16-55mm it’s just a bit heavy for me to travel with. So, I mainly use it to shoot these vids and portraits.
I love the 18-55 just wish it was constant 2.8. About this lens- This sounds weird but hear me out; on my X-E4 with the 18-55 @ 55mm seems to be how I really “see” naturally with my eyes. I look through the evf with my right eye and open my left eye to look out at what i’m shooting. It looks almost 3D or continuous between my naked left eye and the lens @55mm. Just made me wonder- do other people have the same field of vision or do we all vary? (APSC: 55mm x 1.5 crop = 82.5mm would be my natural focal length)
The XF56mm f/1.2 is a Wonderful lens but I would also consider the XF90mm f/2 for travel. Here's why; [I own both by the way]. The 56mm is fantastic for portrait shots and anything in that 85mm field of view equivalent range but I have found personally that the 85mm FF field of view is a 'no-mans-land' focal length other than for portraits. But it does it brilliantly which is why I hang on to mine. The 90mm to me is a more versatile tele lens and one I use outdoors a Lot. That 135mm FoV equivalent is a focal length I have used some sort of 135mm lens for four decades now on all my systems from tele-landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife to even shooting sports with it. I think it's a hair sharper than the 56mm as well as it being my go to "head shot" lens which wide open can give similar bokeh to standard (head/torso) portrait shots taken with the 56mm. As far as a new B-camera, I think you are the perfect candidate for the X-S10 being your replacement for the Canon. Paired with your 18-55 will be a beast of a vlog set-up. Excellent choice on the Rokinon 12mm. I also own that one and use it on my hikes for wide landscapes and mostly astrophotography, you can get some awesome Milkyway photos with that lens.
@@FunkyLoveBunny I was referring to online rentals that will send it to you. here in the US it's about $60 for 7 days. I hear that Viltrox is pretty nice, the 85mm right?!.
Last year I made a “travel kit” thats just my X100V, wide angle adapter, ND and BPM filter, spare batteries + charger, a compact Benro tripod, and I put it all in a Domke F5XB which I call my man purse 🤣. I’ve started to really like the 28mm focal length and the adapter is almost permanently on my x100 now. Oh and trying to sell cameras is the worst! You’re lucky if you get someone who’s legitimately interested and willing to pay a reasonable price. I’m trying to get rid of my Nikon DSLRs cuz I just ordered the new Z6 II but no one is buying them! Cant wait for Nikon to announce their compact prime 28mm and 40mm, those’ll be my first native Z mount lenses I get.
The XT4 with 16-80mm with the 10-24mm for wide angle is a favorite, though admittedly the new 70-300mm (if I get it) would would probably live on the XT4 and get used 90% of the time. (still miss the old 35mm system 90-230mm zoom) For me the ideal travel kit would be Fuji XT4 with 70-300mm w/w/o 10-24mm, X100V + WCL-II, DJI Pocket-2, plus depending on size preference either the IR-converted Panasonic ZS40 (smaller) or IR-converted Canon S3 IS (larger) with Blue IR /NDVI and IR-Chrome filters.
I generally bring my Fuji XT3. I almost always bring the 55-200. And the Viltrox 23mm goes with me a lot.I recently bought the 60mm 2.4 macro used for $275, which is a very underrated lens. And I just bought the 16mm 1.4 which has been going with me also. So those are the lenses that has been going with me lately. I do switch up from time to time. For example I may take the 10-24 instead of the 16mm. But the 16mm is the new toy and a great lens!
I've got a lot of experience with the 12mm, but I haven't tried the other two before! Super interesting to see what you picked and the shots you got with them. I still have that hankering for an X100V though 😅
It’s so hard to sell gear! Even if I no longer use it much. I have the 6dii also, I love the internal gps and think all cameras should have it. I like the idea of looking back at old photos and being able to see exactly where I was at that moment. I hope the x-h2 will have gps.
Once again, welcome to the Fuji family! 👏 I also rocked the Rokinon 12mm for about 2 years (because of all the raving reviews) then got a Fuji 10-24mm used at either KEH or MPB. So much versatility. To me, better straight-out of-the-camera colors. You can probably get even better prices now that 10-24 has a mark II. Something to consider.
You’re back! Good to hear everything is well. Haven’t been travelling for a while, but my wife does have a veggie garden with some animals (pigs, goats, chicken’s), which is super interesting to shoot with multiple focal lengths. Plus, the kids love to help out, so there’s always fun pictures to be taken. I mostly use a M42-screw Sigma 135mm f/2.8, a 7Artisan 35mm f/1.4 and the 18-55mm f/2.8-4. And I have a 70-210 with some macro capabilities, really helpful in the spring. But I feel like I can get the same result with the X100V (I ALWAYS bring my X100V) with some cropping (the horror! what is he doing! bastard!)
You're so lucky to have a little farm like that. It sounds like a little oasis amid all that's going on right now. The photography possibilities! And don't let the Cropping police getch'ya down. Crop on and get thy desired composition, brave soul! 😆
@@kristin5116 Yes, we're very lucky to have a place like that. Especially during lockdown, when schools were closed and we had to homeschool. It's a nice place to blow off some steam (for both the kids and us).
@@acmdv Because the X-T30 is cheaper, has almost the same capabilities as the X-T3 and why get the S10 when you have the X-T4? And it's X-T30 is smaller. Perfect little B-Cam in my eyes.
@@bburchellphotos X-T3 weather sealed, dual card slots and is very cheap on the used market. X-S10 IBIS, latest autofocus system and fully articulating screen like the X-T4.
Glad you made it to the Hudson Valley. A great place for photography. The kit lens is terrific and underrated. It sits on my XT-3. Next on my wish list is either the new 70-300 or on the other end, the 16mm f2.
Great to see some well deserved Minolta love. If you want a little more versatility on the tele side, I would totally recommend the MD 75-150mm f4 zoom lens. It handles like a prime and performs like a prime, and it's not much bigger than the 135mm.
This has always been a problem for me... with my trip to Lisbon last year, I told myself I would only bring 2 lens at the most... I ended up bringing my 35mm 2, 18-55mm 2.8, 12mm Samyang (your Rokinon) and my 55-200mm 😂... oh and my Canon G7Xii for videos! 😜
I have used canon and nikon for street photography and after using a friends X-100F now will shift to Fujifilm like you. Will get XE-4 to begin with. But confused whether to get 28mm or 35 mm. You and your cat reminds me of book 'A Little Courage' by Taltal Levi. I have stopped taking pictures since many years. www.flickr.com/photos/tavruday/ But Fujifilm is what inspires to rebegin again. You have 18-55 and for me this will also get costly. With T-30 the cost gets reduced whereas XE-4 has 28mm as combination (wish they had 18-55 too). But I have used 50mm Nikon 1.8 a lot and love the bokeh. I have never heard of Rokinon 12mm f/2 and the price is less. Will be on list to get. You mention about MD Minolta Celtic 135mm f/3.5. Hmm... I love how you are for the process and joy of taking pictures and achieving certain character and not tact sharpness. Your X-100 V looks so leica like. 23 mm in this camera is so good. I love how you say, "This camera makes my heart sing" and that is why I am commenting. I really found this line so inspiring and made me think very deep for sometime and get out of the rut with clarity. And then you said that by doing landscape photography (and not just street photography), got to know your camera more and got to know yourself as photographer more and that aspect of "relationship" with self and camera is really liberating and challenging to play and break your own barriers. So I am really thankful to you. Is there a book on photography or any artistic endeavor which is your fav and inspires you in same way like you speak?
Another great video. I'm a recent subscriber and was waiting for your next video. I know you're busy and life gets in the way sometimes - keep up the great content and don't make us wait so long for the next video :-)
My travell kit. Fuji x s10, lenses : Fuji 18-135, Fuji 70-300z. Fuji 16f1.4. Also a travell tripod all fitting into my Vanguard VE 38 travel bag.
I’ve been in Fuji space since the XE1 was new. Then the XT1, and finally now finally got the XT4 finally. Lol. My light weight prime lens set is the Laowa 9/2.8, Fuji 16/2.8, Fuji 35/2, and Laowa 65/2.8 APO 2x Macro. Fun to travel with a small sling bag full of tiny primes! But I also have the 56/1.2 and the 55-200, which are both also fantastic. I want to add the new 10-24 and 50/2 as a two lens combo for hiking. Also, I love my SmallRig wooden grip - the wood makes me happy - but I removed the L bracket portion. Recently, I got the Houge metal lens shade for the 35/2, and now that lovely lens also looks as awesome as it should on the XT4. For lightest walkabout, it’s the two lens 16/2.8 and 35/2 that get the most use. No bag at all. One lens on the body, and one in my pocket. I also highly recommend Fuji Raw Studio freeware. And finally, sometimes I’m nostalgic for my old film 6x6 medium format TLR Mamiya. So I’ll set up my Fuji to square format with a single prime lens and shoot in black and white. That’s a lot of fun. On my old XT1, I flip the screen out and shoot waist level looking down onto the LCD. So it really gets the framing similar to the TLR. Haven’t done this yet on the new XT4, so I will see if the flippy LCD detracts or not. But I think the XT4 will provide better film simulation settings for B&W nostalgia. Shooting square changes your framing composition, so that’s just a joy when you need a change. Anyway, I love your enthusiasm. Keep the videos coming, please.
If you like the vintage lenses like me, the canon FD 70-210 goes for 50 bucks and is an excellent budget option for the 55-200/70-300.
Try Fuji 18mm f/1.4 R WR LM. The best allrounder fixed focal Lens Fuji ever released.
Great video. I don't throw my kit around so don't need a padded camera bag. I'm looking for something slim. I have the Nikon 100mm F2.8 & Fuji 23m F1.4. I really like the kit 15-45mm lens at 15mm too.

X100V is a good B-cam, especially with the new update, you can use the built in ND in video.
i'm trying to sell my Canon M6 to get a second Fuji body since a) I want a more permanent setup of my special telepromter Fuji camera as a webcam setup; and b) i did some video freelancing work and with multicam interview and now know the importance of having 2 similar log files to colour match them afterwards.

B-Cam? Fuji X-T30 of course. Might as well keep it all in the Fuji system ;)
Why not an X-S10 or an X-T3?
@@acmdv Because the X-T30 is cheaper, has almost the same capabilities as the X-T3 and why get the S10 when you have the X-T4? And it's X-T30 is smaller. Perfect little B-Cam in my eyes.
@@bburchellphotos X-T3 weather sealed, dual card slots and is very cheap on the used market. X-S10 IBIS, latest autofocus system and fully articulating screen like the X-T4.
@@acmdv Might as well just get another X-T4 is you want all of that XD.
@@bburchellphotos Excellent idea! ;)
So glad your back. :-) For me I would choose the Fuji 27mm, Viltrox 56mm and Nikon AI 100mm with my XT 3 body
Thanks, Franklin! :) Great choices... and that 27mm pancake is tempting!!
Glad you made it to the Hudson Valley. A great place for photography. The kit lens is terrific and underrated. It sits on my XT-3. Next on my wish list is either the new 70-300 or on the other end, the 16mm f2.
Glad to see you're safe and sound, Kristen. The Fuji 18-55 is great!
Great to see some well deserved Minolta love. If you want a little more versatility on the tele side, I would totally recommend the MD 75-150mm f4 zoom lens. It handles like a prime and performs like a prime, and it's not much bigger than the 135mm.
If you like the Rokinon 12mm, you will love the Fujinon 10-24mm!
This has always been a problem for me... with my trip to Lisbon last year, I told myself I would only bring 2 lens at the most... I ended up bringing my 35mm 2, 18-55mm 2.8, 12mm Samyang (your Rokinon) and my 55-200mm 😂... oh and my Canon G7Xii for videos! 😜
😂
You NEED the 56...! its an amazing lens, you won't regret buying it! :D
I own it! 😉
@@kristin5116 Pehw... you got me worried there for a sec hahaha.
I have used canon and nikon for street photography and after using a friends X-100F now will shift to Fujifilm like you. Will get XE-4 to begin with. But confused whether to get 28mm or 35 mm. You and your cat reminds me of book 'A Little Courage' by Taltal Levi. I have stopped taking pictures since many years. www.flickr.com/photos/tavruday/ But Fujifilm is what inspires to rebegin again. You have 18-55 and for me this will also get costly. With T-30 the cost gets reduced whereas XE-4 has 28mm as combination (wish they had 18-55 too). But I have used 50mm Nikon 1.8 a lot and love the bokeh. I have never heard of Rokinon 12mm f/2 and the price is less. Will be on list to get. You mention about MD Minolta Celtic 135mm f/3.5. Hmm... I love how you are for the process and joy of taking pictures and achieving certain character and not tact sharpness. Your X-100 V looks so leica like. 23 mm in this camera is so good.
I love how you say, "This camera makes my heart sing" and that is why I am commenting. I really found this line so inspiring and made me think very deep for sometime and get out of the rut with clarity. And then you said that by doing landscape photography (and not just street photography), got to know your camera more and got to know yourself as photographer more and that aspect of "relationship" with self and camera is really liberating and challenging to play and break your own barriers. So I am really thankful to you. Is there a book on photography or any artistic endeavor which is your fav and inspires you in same way like you speak?
When i sold my Canon system and three years later my Sony system i was releaved and happy to let go...
