I admire you Omar. A man with a family and work and still does what makes him happy. Keep it up my man, I loved this video!
I already have the 18-55, now all I need is a motorcycle! Amazing vid again Omar, thanks for taking us along!
Fun video, looking forward to see more of this! Got the 18-55 myself and I absolutely love that lens. It may be a kit lens but calling it that simply doesn't do it justice ❤
I spent a week in Baltimore before Covid with nothing but my 18-55. I was very happy with my photos, including street shots, museums, aquariums, etc. It was so liberating to not have to worry about carrying extra lenses.
Glad you were able to photograph in Baltimore. I hope your visit was a safe one. I used to photograph in downtown Baltimore, quite frequently for paid assignments. I no longer do so due to the increased crime & violence. Such a sad statement to make about the reality of many cities in America. Even carrying minimal camera equipment, you have to be cautious & vigilant with respect to your surroundings. Twenty to thirty years ago, this was not such a grave matter with respect to safety issues.🙁
I knew it, Royal Enfield "Himalayan" hmm, and then Itchiboots! She's now in South Africa, different bike but hey, nice shout out!! Two of my favorite channels!!
I agree the lens solution for ease. I did almost an entire hiking holiday in the Alps with the 18-55 (on a XT3). It delivered the goods. Vis your motorbike pain - if you want fresh air, a simple yet head turning carriage, easy to park and no clothing or helmet hassle, get a 2CV!
I seldom use my 18-55mm (I’m using XT3), I usually bring my 35mm, well, I hope i can explore more on my 18-55 👌🏽
I love that you don't shy away from the awkward. It's super refreshing to watch your videos. :)
Love that you call your Himalayan Noraly, nice nod to Itchy Boots!
Oh I really love those little trips You take us on. More!
I've just bought this lens because I've been hiding behind the power (but limitations too) of my f1.2 56mm for too long. The honest answer to whether I'm a decent photographer is "I'm very average, but I use f1.2-f2.0 a lot and it looks great for some shots". But I've felt increasingly trapped walking around with just 56mm and 14mm prime lenses and, when I went out this week with the 18-55mm for the first time, it's amazing how much freer I felt. Now I just need to kick that 'pixel peeper' mentality out of me where I've become obsesed with image separation and sharpness. Time to find my artist inside, and to let me lead the composing, not the camera. I'll keep my f1.2 56mm with me too, but relying on the f1.2 56mm as my main lens gave me a massive mental block where I'd be thinking "but this will probably be too zoomed-in" before I even got the lens cap off.
I have this lens. It is simply magnificent. The prints I get from the lens, sensor and printer are sublime.
Always thought I had to go away from the kit lens to get better, which I'm currently doing. I got the 50mm F2, the 16mm F1.4, now the 35mm F2. I enjoy them all but the 18-55mm is left behind.
Your video made me consider it again for my photography sessions, tyvm.
And yes, here's your like
Thanks!!
Nice little road trip Omar. I just got the X-S10 with the 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens. It's a great set-up so far, so compact and lightweight to travel around with in the heat!
loved it all! i ride a yamaha fjr1300 through the roads of westchester, putnam and orange counties in nys. plenty to film. love your walkabout. yes, to breathable mesh pants. yes, to walkable motorcycle boots. but so great you are going atgatt. oh yeah, i bring my x-t1 and 18-55. great combo.
I really like the vibe you got going on in this video, you seem like you were really enjoying it and that's what its all about. I bought the X100V a while ago on sort of a whim and I been taking it with me everywhere. I don't have to think what lens to use or anything. I can just enjoy taking pictures and getting what I get. Great video Omar!! More bike road trips :)
My friend got the x100V like 5 months ago and lives by it. Just easy on the go camera that takes great photos.
I have only one lens with my Fujifilm X-T20 and it is the 18-55mm, it is a superb lens for its price and gives super nice results
Just ordered the 18-55mm last week, should arrive tomorrow, cant wait to try it!
As a rider of more than 5 decades, I gotta say I feel your pain. I rode to too many events to count where I was hot and uncomfortable in my heavy pants and jacket, carrying my stuff so it wouldn't get stolen. It always seems to be a trade-off. Do you want the winding roads and rumble of your motor as you negotiate through curves on a crisp Sunday morning, well you gotta take the bugs, heat and dehydration as part of the deal. If you want to carry things, hard cases are the best, but in my opinion, they don't look good. Especially on a Royal Enfield. How about being the coolest guy on the road and get yourself a sidecar. You could carry all your stuff, do a quick change to some lighter gear if you're gonna be walking around a town, and even take an occasional passenger with you! I look forward to all your videos, thank you.
P.S. Chippewa Rally Boots are the most comfortable walk around and riding boots I've ever owned.
sidecar.....hmmmmmm...
I just wanted to write something along the same lines. Welcome to the world of motorcycle travel... I use my bike to go out for landscape photography which mostly includes some hiking. I got myself cases after a year or so hiking around in motorcycle gear (no fun what so ever) but the cases increase the foot print of the bike and if you are in a country where lane splitting is allowed (like me) then you lose that advantage and then you might as well just take the car....
Keep going Omar! Stay safe..I love all your videos..really makes me smile😊
Hey Omar, been watching since just before I got my X-T200 in April 2020, and as a fellow biker I have 2 reasons to watch. Very much a low skill photographer, but I like the relaxed style you've got going on here.
Nice! Bring that camera on your rides!
Omar is gone with the wind! ;) Nice video. My 16-55 is looking with puppy eyes at me. He will be fine.
Love your/this video/s. Thanks for taking us with you. I own the 18-55 (with my lovely x-e3) and... sometimes (often?) it's all I need.
How cool!!! We love Noraly (itchyboots) too. What a lovely unexpected crossover moment!
Hombre! It’s summer now. Put on those chancletas 😎😉. By the way I love this video! It’s nice to see you out on the bike and we get to see other parts of your surroundings which all contribute to different types of photography, videography etc. I bought my 18 to 55 mm because of you and I’m really loving it! I have about eight other lenses that are just sitting there.
This kind of videos are great to chill out with. Thanks. Keep em coming sensei
I bought an X-E2 with the 18-55 when my daughter was born and it was all I had for seven years. I often thought I should have just gotten an X100. I never felt like I was missing all that much, and I took thousands of pictures with just that combo.
Terrific video. I enjoyed the travelogue. A nice reminder to break out the 18-55. Definitely, an underrated lens.
I would'nt call it underrated. Everybody is saying its the best kit lens of any system and praise it a lot.
@@chromaticvisuelle Ok, fair enough. The Pentax DFA 28-105 WR “kit lens” is also outstanding, in another system.
If it helps your self esteem, I have to tell you that you are the only You Tuber that I subscribe to, for whom I click on 'Like', even before I watch your latest video. The NJ road tour was a nice change of pace.
you deserve every like omar . you are soooo legit. and your content is very entertaining
so nice of you!
Get a decent steel braided cable with loops either end and a padlock, pass the cable through the arm of your jacket and anywhere on your helmet and then pass it through somewhere on the bike (frame?) Then padlock it via the loops.
it's so nice that you are so normal and fun. I bought that camera because of you, I still dont know how to use it, coming back here to learn
I've been watching lots of your videos but never thought about subscribing. Saw your last comments in the video. Immediately liked the video and subscribed. Please keep doing what you're doing Omar, you're doing a great job.
It looks so peaceful there. Nice area
I enjoyed this. The music and the emotion in the video, the SOOC JPEGs and some small tips here and there. It made me just sit back and watch the whole thing with a cup of coffee. Thanks 😊
Good video. I am thinking to switch to Fujifilm and I was looking for a review on the lens. Funny the "some chancletas". Made laugh. Sounded very Cuban. Ciao.
Great to see you got some decent transport, Noraly is a beauty, just like the real thing! I've been watching your XT20 vids as I picked up a second hand one with the 18-55 for a motorbike trip in the mountains in Romania, didn't want to risk my XT5 or the precious primes. Really enjoy your honest views on all things photography, looking forward to seeing where those Royal Enfield wheels will take you next. They'll go anywhere you know!
Love your videos. It's like an adventure watching your photographs.
whooooa! motorcycles and phtoto rides, that's my thing! I'd love to watch this review Omar. I'm so pleased to have met your channel and learned about the fuji system. Cheers from Brasil! Be cooll, stay safe and good winds to you!
Oh and by the way, you need a pair of saddlebags for your motorcycle man, so you can carry a lot more of stuff and can let some things on the bike to go on foot taking pictures.
Love it. I take the 16-55 on my motorcycle trips all of the time. Sometimes just rolling around with one lens is just what I need :)
Loved this little trip out at leisurely pace. Looks like a lovely tranquil place.
Thanks for the video from here in the UK.
On yıl canon kullandıktan sonra geçen ay fujifilme geçiş yaptım. xt20 ve xf18-55 f:2.8-4 aldım ve çok memnunum. Senin videolarını sürekli takip ediyorum. Ha bu arada ben de bir motorcuyum. Bir Honda NC 750X sahibiyim.
Selam ve sevgiler.
Yes mate, bike stuff!!!!!
Hello Omar, thanks for the beautiful journey I enjoyed your ride and the beautiful views. I also like to watch some of your other videos about the Fujifilm camera lenses, keep up the good work bro
Love traveling with a fuji camera...Here in South Africa, we have beautiful old towns as well that make great photography trips...Never thought about such pit stops...Will certainly do some soon and get those nice photos u do...Thanks for the inspiration as always.
Do share! Instagram message me when you get some shots.
@@ogonzilla will definitely do 😊🙌
Enjoyable ride, thanks for your content.
LOVE LOVE my 18-55. it does everything just about...
Love the bike. I have kawi 900. So I get what you mean. Enjoy the ride.
Paul
Your vídeos help me a lot! By the way, the quality of this video is wonderful and your channel is amazing. You explain very well about Fujifilm system and lens from Fuji. I'm learning a lot with you. Thank you! 💝
Really nice taking us out with you to places I will probably never see (I live in London) many thanks always amazed how good that so called kit lens is
Love the video, Omar. Love the sound of your bike. Love the 18-55. All the best from London.
Best regards from France, Omar. It's nice to discover roads and places i don't know and where I will probably never go. it's always a pleasure to follow you.
Keep it up ! See you soon! ✌️
Great video. Thanks for riding geared up. I gear up every time I get on the bike. I love riding out to photo shoot spots. I’ll probably get a Fuji this summer. Your videos help me out a lot. Thanks for what you do.
When is the Omar x Itchy Boots collab? Or has it already happened?! Enjoyed this video a lot!
Dig the Royal Enfield and your journey figuring it out, with the photography. Keep on rolling man, really enjoy your work.
Your green leafy lanes in May look exactly like the green leafy lanes in England. And we have vintage railway lines too. Great Central Railway in Loughborough for example. I'm glad you're showing us some New Jersey countryside
Hey You take photos with Nikon and Fuji. That makes you extremely sympathetic. But now I can see that you also ride a motorcycle .. great guy. Not to beat. Greetings from Good old Germany. Oh yes, Fuji only has one prime lens, 18-55, f2.8-4
Wow!
I have never commented on You Tube before
You start us off with a "Lets Go" and call your bike "Noraly"
Waiting for the blond wig next
I must thank you though in another of your Fuji videos
you mentioned "Itchy Boots" Now I have watched all 5 seasons of her and wait every other day for her next video
Made me want to start riding again maybe a R9T in my future
Thanks for all you do
Reagan
Lovely, I like the place you visited. You have done a really good handheld vlog. Thank you for sharing your experience and thought 😃
The only lens I have. Still love it.
And I'm so pleased you said that stuff about using just the one lens. Too much stuff to carry otherwise
Some day I'll either run into you in Hoboken or on the winding roads of North NJ.
My camera/Motorcycle solutions, I swapped out my rear seat for a luggage rack with a pelican case with shaped foam attached to it. Then when I see something interesting I just stop, pop open the case, and grab the camera. Super quick, easy, and secure from both theft and vibrations.
I'm very excited for this lens, there's this soft yet sharp look to it
I just did a 3 day stint of street photography in Melbourne Australia. I used the 18-55mm only. Great lens.
Still the best Fuji content maker on YT. Thanks Omar
Nice video Omar, but I’m still waiting for the Paterson photo-walk (haha). Stay safe.
I've had my 18-55mm for a week now. I was getting frustrated with soft and inconsistent pictures. It LOOKS like the issue is that I needed to change my IS (image stabilisation) setting in my X-T30 menu from Continuous to Shooting Only. I'd read a couple of posts online where people had tried that, compared pictures, and found it better. Something to do with continuous creating a build-up of vibration that doesn't matter when filming so much but hurts still pictures. UPDATE: After 4.5 months of 18-55mm I upgraded to the big 16-55mm and X-T4 and am far happier, with random soft pictures a thing of the past and I'm free of the 18-55's fiddly variable aperture. Very happy now.
Respect for Itchy Boots in all weathers eh!
Love this lens and love your channel Omar! Love that you use Fuji cameras for “you” and other stuff for work. Thanks for always making me laugh! Two thumbs up hermano!!
nothing wrong with the quality of the images with that lens Omar. Cheers from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
I have the XS 10 with the 18-55 and you have to try it, it's so versatile when you travel and relatively compact.
Greetings from Germany :)
I want to get this combo so bad
@@williamhouse23 Do it 😊
I absolutely LOVE that you named your bike Noraly. That's so sweet. #basanti #itchyboots
She inspires me to explore!!
Nice video, reminds me of Andrew’s motorcycle homage to this lens combo. How come no one ever talks about the 18-135mm. Is it garbage? Haha, I just bought one for 500. Best price I’ve seen on it.
One of the best 👌
Thanks for the affirmation. Mine hasn’t arrived yet. But I plan on making it my travel lens. So much reach. And not much bigger than the 18-55
I am stuck with my new x100v, but will definitely have in mind this video sometime in the future. Of course I helped your self esteem too. Great video, Omar, enjoyed it a lot.
Love the documentary style blog video and the photos
Nice shots and nice bike!
Omar haven't been back to NJ to see my family since pre-covid. Was thinking of bringing 4 lenses with me when I finally go in June, but this has completely changed my opinion. Even out here in CA I find that I gravitate back to the 18-55 more often than not and always have it with me. Thx for this video.
👍👍 for your self esteem. 🥂
Great photos. Must say I love this video. I find myself doing the same thing, cruising around on the dual-sport bike grabbing photos. So relaxing and you can get to stop on the shoulder and check out the scene where it would be difficult a lot of times in a car, or draw a lot more attention. Have my camera right on the shoulder strap of my backpack with the peak design capture clip. Happy fun riding out there.
Awesome video. 18-55 is so good. Thanks for all your great videos by the way.
Yes. Definitely! 👍
I hate you Omar 🤣, but still addicted to your video and your jokes.
Keep it up man
Oh wow, you have a nice bike! I am saving for one right now :)
Locking panniers for your bike. Helmet in one riding gear in the other. That’s what I use. Soft sided, ballistic nylon, lockable.
I used to live near Morristown, in place called Mount Arlington. On Friday night I would go to AC to play poker, come back Monday morning. Those were great times... But now I am into photography as well...
I’m trying to figure out my one lens that I’d be happy to grab in a rush. Although I still want to try the 23mm focal length before I decide (might pick up a viltrox though for that), I think I’m coming full circle and back to the 18-55. X lovely video.
I just got a XT3WW and a I got the 27 .. 2.8...great lens but I'm a Dad of a 5 year old and a 2 year old! Prime will make me a better photographer but I'm leaning on getting the kit lens...more versatile...will get a Viltrox 23 in a few months
Hubby and I drive scooters, yes we have two each 😉 and we have boxes on the back and also have the place under the seat, maybe you can get a box to mount behind the seat?
Very useful to keep things locket up for safe keeping.
saddlebags... and yes we like you. BTW, just got a 100v yesterday, looking forward to having that as my walk around instead of my X-T2.
Omar I bought a used XT20 based on your videos and loved it. I'm in the process of trading it and all of my Nikon gear in on a used XT4. I'll have just enough left over for a single lens...and it's definitely going to be the 18-55, again due to your great vids and info. Thanks for all you do!
Great video omar. I enjoy your content, especially the fuji! Keep it up sir!
Nice to see the greener side of NJ. You need to swing by Bound Brook....lots of interesting things to photograph downtown, and historic to boot. We can meet up for a photoshoot!
Love this! I am dying for the liberating feeling of going out on a motorcycle to take pictures. Now, I just need the bike! Great video Omar! Also, I don’t think the Chancletas will work!
Great ride Omar ... 😄👍
Omar next time you come out this way let me know. I would enjoy meeting you in person. I live right by Morristown and this location in Whippany. We also have the Great Swamp National wildlife refugee nearby.
John
Photography road trip on a motorcycle = my plan for next spring!
18-55 is in a way my favorite travel lense, in combination with the xs 😊10
Great trip Omar!!! Didnt like that 'X' on my favorits x-lens though😂 but seriously, whatever your 'limitation', one lens is more than enough💪
I never mix my driving and taking photos because I enjoy doing both and the only way is to do them separately. 👍
Good video, nice pictures. Reminded me of how lively Morristown was before COVID. Hope it recovers.
As an old rider, you need paniers for the bike, either hard cases or soft. Add a helmet lock and then you can walk around easily. Also look at Sidi boots. They make some excellent low summer boots with good ventilation. Most of all, ride safe..
thanks for the advice!
Omar, love you and your videos man! Please make a video on XT200 and best lens with it.
