Glad he finally realized "micro full frame" is way too small for cinematic video. Need at least 15+ stops of dynamic range for RUclips videos or you might as well use a phone. 💯
I got the 50mm f/1.4 a few days ago. It's pretty cool. Im not really complaining about anything too much. I like the look. It's like the F mount G version but shaper. It autofocuses way faster, too. I know a lot of people really didn't like that lens, but this is a pretty good z mount replacement for it.
It takes a lot of effort to fuck up AF while having a censor the size of a football field gathering all the light there is from the sun…. Great job Fuj
Sensor size really doesn't have anything to do with it, especially now with PDAF. They have to add AF points directly on the sensor itself to make phase detect work... so the bigger the sensor, the more points they would have to add to make it comparable to a smaller sensor with less points.
6::20 "It's good, it's vintage...it's not good." Literally channeling Tony and Chelsea. I'm pretty sure it's spirit possession, and a sign of the impending Apocalypse.
I know it's kinda obvious, but GFX 3D pop is real, you can tell right away, it's not just the background blur, subject really feel like a 3d image, like you can see the weight of everything, idk how to explain it.
We look forward to your test of the GFX 100 II as an action camera -- maybe compare it to a Insta360 while water skiing. Now that would be a fair comparison!
I never understood the whole 3D pop thing till you reviewed that Plena lens. That was pretty wild, you literally couldn't tell if you were infront or behind the boxes
I like the format of these sorta videos. The comparison in the shop in detail is amazing. And, yes they should be paying you but not those extra's walking in front of the camera.
I really have to smile all the time when you are "testing gear" .. Little suggestion: When you use the GFX-sensor for filming (like I do in the Cine GFX rig), external monitor (or the Kinefinity Eagle Eye Viewfinder !), follow focus and then the fun begins ... With the GF lenses like the Gf 110/2.0, 80/1.7 or 55/1.7 or, if you want to go "all in" with a GF-to-PL mount adapter and any PL-cine lens of your liking. Once you have that F-Log2 .RAW footage in your PostProduction suite , the smiles never leave your face, trust me !!
I bought the GFX100ii for my videos, it's the best best camera I have ever used in terms of quality, dynamic range, color, its the only camera i saw that is closest the Alexa 35. Autofocus is okay, especially after their 1.0 update on GF lens the breathing stopped, and canon adapter is perfect for sigma and canon automatic lenses. But its the F-log, that thing is as good as a raw file.
I recently gave up on a full X series and fully committed to Fujeeess GFX System - 100ii (I'd owned an old 100s for 2 yrs) Hugely challenging financially and not a little soul searching 🙄 but not before I had spent a lot of time with a friends Z8 plus Nikon lenses. Yep, the autofocus is, err average..... But the image and video results when you get it right are on a different planet. worth the frustration??? well frustrating at times for sure, but hit the spot, its a sublime, completely different world. Great video 👍
The Fuji 35mm 1.4 is what I’m looking for. Small size with character…. If I can find a good deal. I think using area vs multi is the best for Fuji video. Custom settings depend on the lens.
With the 35mm and 50mm 1.4 tests I'm seeing more separation/pop when you're close up, and the 50mm more pop at distance. RUclips compression may be reversing reality, but the 35mm had a pretty special rendering on my screen.
The flashing shadows in the background; is that on my end or some kind compression artifact everyone is seeing? Looks like the worlds dimmest strobe light back there.
Throwing my 2 cents out there on the Samyang 135mm f1.8 FE. It's incredible on so many levels. 3D pop, tony's for days, sharp, and the focus has been solid. It's been my favorite Sony lens so far.
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for you to see the light on medium “lesser than full frame” format. If not from the image quality, then strictly through the potential income from affiliate link$.
There are zero camera stores anywhere around here. If you want anything it's Walmart or Best Buy. I've always gotten my gear off eBay and have never been disappointed. Medium format is cool, but hella expensive. The 35mm T1.4 has good Tonehs.
I bought that exact same battery charger with the two batteries for my Z8 and Z6iii. The charger works with the caveats you described but the batteries that came with it are the WORST 3rd party batteries I have ever had and a I have many. The lasted about 50to 75 shots on my Z8 and they don't even work with the Z6iii. You get a message and the camera just shuts down. If you need 100$ charger that sort of works then it's ok I guess but overall it's the worst value out there. Thanks for the video!
Loved the look of the Nikon 50 1.4! The Plena looked as if it had less contrast. I would have tried the Nikon 105 2.8 micro, supposed to be the sharpest macro lens made.
The 105 S is extremely sharp, it cutting your face when you use it for vlogging. But the AF motors on it are a bit slow. So not sure if it’s really that suitable for filming
Feel obligated to mention that the Nikon mirrorless cameras you can speed up/slow down the rate of autofocus and how fast it switches between subjects. If you have left it as out of factory it is probably a slow setting...
I shoot the Gfx for stills and love it. But I can imagine it not being great for video. I'm curious though, which combo has the correct color rendering of your shirt? The Gfx is way more yellow and less orange than the others. Curious which is more true to life.
Love your visit to the camera shop with all the paid extras 🤣🤣, you have more police after you after saying there lens suck 🤣🤣 35mm 1.4 had super blurry Boker. I prefer the 50mm 1.4 for cleaner nicer colours and slightly more pop. Please, more visits to the camera shop as this was fantastic viewing 🥳🥳🥳🥳
That GFX had a great image! You can get the original GFX 100 used for less than $3,000, a new Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm f1.4 lens for $599, Add an atomos Ninja 5 for another $599 and you get 4.2.2. ProRes raw at 4K -- an equal to Jacques Tati's 70mm _Playtime._ By the way, somebody uploaded _Playtime_ to youtube and you can watch it for free for the time being. I think I'll keep my Micro 4/3rds stuff instead.
Regardless of the manufacturer, the optics and raw files in the Fujifilm medium format will surpass anything found in the 35mm full frame format. Moreover, any misguided comparisons you encounter on RUclips between medium and full frame formats are conducted using lower resolution compressed JPEG files, which is utterly absurd. Ultimately, medium format stands as a future-proof choice. To Summarize, I am not knocking full frame because it does have advantages in autofocus speed and weight.
@@VirtousStoic I completely disagree since all of these manufacturers are now fairly even, with none being better than the other, and there was no need for anybody to switch systems.
I use to follow this content creator with his old channel. Is he still active with it or did he switch over to Camera Conspiracy. Always found this guy hilarious and will follow him whatever his interest are.
I have the XF 35f1.4, it is contrast detect tier AF despite being phase. The amount of false positives, and hunting it does - bring a book while you wait.
Casey, do you think that smaller apertures help with the 3-D Pop? A lot of older lenses were f/5.6, f/4, etc. I’ve shot my Nikkor Z glass at f/5.6 and it gave the pop In before “Greater depth of field, duh”
OK.....starting to be too many lenses....I'm ready for your spreadsheet tracking the best pop and overall rating. All I know is Zeiss 18mm & 55mm is on top for Sony pop. What's the best for your budget on the Canon R5/6?
well in case you try the fuj 35 f1.4r let us know how it compares to the touit 32 f1.8, they both have pop in my opinion but the zeiss planar way more. toneh 1.4 is nice tho
Try your Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 on the GFX >> 67mm f/0.9 TONEH !! that's 4D POP !! XD it covers the whole MF sensor and the AF works just as good as native glass.
Since your videos are recorded 2 weeks ahead I'm still waiting to see if the Nikon z6 iii will stay😮 Can't have nikon colors if your battery is flat 😮😮 The canon R5 ii comes with a charger 😊 just don't order more batteries because there aren't any
Hey Casey, try GFX with EF glass and some AF adapter, I'm using fringer EF-GFX with my GFX 100S it just so good, option to stay wide and with thinnest DOF makes it completely amazing: - EF 50/1.2 turns into 40/0.95 equivalent with AF - EF 35/1.4 turns into 28/1.1 equivalent with AF - EF 40/2.8 turns into 32/2.2 Yes, there vignetting, it could be removed and some lenses covers GFX without noticeable vignetting. Never tried video but for portraits it's so good, yes it might miss and loose eyes, but cmon that dof can't be reproduced with AF on FF: there is just no such equivalent AF lenses.
Your aperture does not magically become brighter or shallower on a bigger sensor LOL. Those lenses were made for a full frame camera thus 50mm is F1.2 and also TONEH 1.2 regardless how BIG a sensor you put it on, but when you put that lens on a smaller sensor lets say m43 you still have F1.2 but your TONEH now is 2.4 because of the field of view difference.
@@artur.charaev But your depth of field will not change putting FF lenses on a bigger sensor, thats the point, you put that FF lens on a m43 sensor the depth of field still wont change, only your field of view changes.
@@SMGJohn yes, you missing point of equivalence. I like fstoppers "lens compression doesn't exist" video or petapixel equivalence article. Lens physical characteristics stays the same no matter where would we mount it. But due to sensor size we can have wider or tighter picture if we mount it on GFX or m43. So we got EF 50/1.2: - if we mount it on FF we are on 50/1.2 - if we mount it on GFX we are still on 50/1.2 but since we've got bigger sensor we capture wider picture and to replicate this picture on FF we will need 40/0.95 - if we mount it on APS-C we are still on 50/1.2 but since we've got smaller sensor we capture central part of picture and to replicate it on FF we will need 75/1.8 - if we mount it on m43 we are still on 50/1.2 but since we've got smaller sensor we capture central part of picture and to replicate it on FF we will need 100/2.4 But things a bit more complicated due to various sensor aspect ratio. If we just grab 40/0.95 lens on FF picture will be too narrow due to sensor 3:2 aspect ratio, so to replicate it properly you also need to take in account further crop to 4:3 on FF.
@@artur.charaev No, you and I agree but you still arguing with me because for some reasons. You and I are both talking about FIELD OF VIEW which is all that really matters. But saying a 50mm becomes 0.95 is incorrect simply because the aperture never changes, you see more sure, your toneh is gonna be same regardless, you can test this if you rather not sit here and argue because I am not interested, just test it and you will see, I shot bigger stuff than GFX and mounted FF glass on them, the toneh is the same. Same size toneh balls, same amount of background blur.
@@cameraconspiracies Remember seeing your video xh2s vs sony a7siii and it was working acceptable, i guess that was on the first firmwares. It went downhill from there haha
I really appreciate that sticky clicking noise coming out of the inside of your mouth In-between your word changes . It’s reminiscent of a quiet room with no background noise and all you hear is the chewing of a giant tablespoon of soft velvita cheese smearing around in the jaws and gums of someone you are slowly growing to hate over the years as time goes by.
With GFX + 110mm F2 was expecting that it will send background to oblivion giving super gradient, but it gave the worst bokeh of all lenses you tested here, weird hard lines everywhere. I'm shocked.
Ah yeah, if you want to video with a Fuji, get the XS20. The GFX is in no way a good choice for video. That 110 lens is magic for photos though, so it's no use to you :)
rumors say Fuji is planning a full-frame camera early 2025. Well, definitely not an APS-C nor medium format - so full-frame, right? what else could they plan?
E mount is 46mm diameter, X mount 44mm, it can handle smtgh very close to FF. Could be APSH sensor, could be a dual APSC sensor 32x24 kinda like Arri ( 4/3 FF would be great ) could be a dual MFT sensor 27x18 ( 3/2 S35 )
Isn't there some kind of "focus hold" setting that changes the rate at which Nikon chooses a new target for focus? Wonder if that is part of the problem when its already focused on someone else and you hop in? Edit: I went and found the setting... Menu>Focus>"Focus tracking with lock-on"
@@jcar4522 i know right, charging €2700 for a camera whose only major advantage over the €1200 competence is 1/8000th is just 🤯, and their excuse? SHORTAGES! which is ironic because Fujifilm has more stable market than Sony and Canon because of the so called "hybrid shooters"
The only lens which I loved&hated same time was Sigma 105mm 1.4 art (I hated it because of its weight) which had 3D pop. I do own nikon 85mm 1.2 S and 200mm f2, but they do not have 3D pop (shame).
Kind of shocked at how busy that local camera store is! The hipsters and the dentists may save us after all.
Photographers are the locomotive of the global economy.
Someone needs to buy all the fancy photo gear... So we can later buy it second hand.. For cheap. 😍
What would save the camera industry?Is one model every three years. Bring your best effort make it last or die
@@xyzct photographers are dead, right next to the dinosaur
The hispter dentists buy the leicas, the shop boys by the lentil soup and starbucks and the cycle of life continues.
Switching to Fuji GFX was like going from 720p to 4K. Incredible image quality.
Absolutely not needed though, unless you like cropping to ridiculous extremes.
If only Fuji could sort out their damn auto focus!
For a second or two it was glorious😊
Hey Casey, please consider this an intervention. I believe the quest for the perfect camera setup and the search for the poppiest 3D pop is driving you insane.

Try your Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 on the GFX >> 67mm f/0.9 TONEH !! that's 4D POP !! XD it covers the whole MF sensor and the AF works just as good as native glass.
I took a picture of a crime scene once. Got arrested for "Indecent Exposure".. [oh humm]
Since your videos are recorded 2 weeks ahead
I'm still waiting to see if the Nikon z6 iii will stay😮
Can't have nikon colors if your battery is flat 😮😮
The canon R5 ii comes with a charger 😊 just don't order more batteries because there aren't any
Side question- what's your 3d pop rating on the voigtlander 20mm f3.5?
Hey Casey, try GFX with EF glass and some AF adapter, I'm using fringer EF-GFX with my GFX 100S it just so good, option to stay wide and with thinnest DOF makes it completely amazing:
- EF 50/1.2 turns into 40/0.95 equivalent with AF
- EF 35/1.4 turns into 28/1.1 equivalent with AF
- EF 40/2.8 turns into 32/2.2
Yes, there vignetting, it could be removed and some lenses covers GFX without noticeable vignetting. Never tried video but for portraits it's so good, yes it might miss and loose eyes, but cmon that dof can't be reproduced with AF on FF: there is just no such equivalent AF lenses.
Your aperture does not magically become brighter or shallower on a bigger sensor LOL.
Those lenses were made for a full frame camera thus 50mm is F1.2 and also TONEH 1.2 regardless how BIG a sensor you put it on, but when you put that lens on a smaller sensor lets say m43 you still have F1.2 but your TONEH now is 2.4 because of the field of view difference.
@@SMGJohn Thats only about depth of field and field of view equivalence. Sure lens brightness will not change.
@@artur.charaev
But your depth of field will not change putting FF lenses on a bigger sensor, thats the point, you put that FF lens on a m43 sensor the depth of field still wont change, only your field of view changes.
@@SMGJohn yes, you missing point of equivalence. I like fstoppers "lens compression doesn't exist" video or petapixel equivalence article.
Lens physical characteristics stays the same no matter where would we mount it. But due to sensor size we can have wider or tighter picture if we mount it on GFX or m43.
So we got EF 50/1.2:
- if we mount it on FF we are on 50/1.2
- if we mount it on GFX we are still on 50/1.2 but since we've got bigger sensor we capture wider picture and to replicate this picture on FF we will need 40/0.95
- if we mount it on APS-C we are still on 50/1.2 but since we've got smaller sensor we capture central part of picture and to replicate it on FF we will need 75/1.8
- if we mount it on m43 we are still on 50/1.2 but since we've got smaller sensor we capture central part of picture and to replicate it on FF we will need 100/2.4
But things a bit more complicated due to various sensor aspect ratio. If we just grab 40/0.95 lens on FF picture will be too narrow due to sensor 3:2 aspect ratio, so to replicate it properly you also need to take in account further crop to 4:3 on FF.
@@artur.charaev
No, you and I agree but you still arguing with me because for some reasons.
You and I are both talking about FIELD OF VIEW which is all that really matters.
But saying a 50mm becomes 0.95 is incorrect simply because the aperture never changes, you see more sure, your toneh is gonna be same regardless, you can test this if you rather not sit here and argue because I am not interested, just test it and you will see, I shot bigger stuff than GFX and mounted FF glass on them, the toneh is the same. Same size toneh balls, same amount of background blur.
That GFX100II autofocus is in all latest fuji cameras. XT4 is doing actually better haha
Now I feel your pain :)
@@cameraconspiracies Remember seeing your video xh2s vs sony a7siii and it was working acceptable, i guess that was on the first firmwares. It went downhill from there haha
I really appreciate that sticky clicking noise coming out of the inside of your mouth In-between your word changes . It’s reminiscent of a quiet room with no background noise and all you hear is the chewing of a giant tablespoon of soft velvita cheese smearing around in the jaws and gums of someone you are slowly growing to hate over the years as time goes by.
Man you have a lot of good options for camera stores near you, the closest one to me is 4½ hours away.
With GFX + 110mm F2 was expecting that it will send background to oblivion giving super gradient, but it gave the worst bokeh of all lenses you tested here, weird hard lines everywhere. I'm shocked.
Ah yeah, if you want to video with a Fuji, get the XS20. The GFX is in no way a good choice for video. That 110 lens is magic for photos though, so it's no use to you :)
Reading the title I immediately went and checked, no my camera is working.😅
rumors say Fuji is planning a full-frame camera early 2025. Well, definitely not an APS-C nor medium format - so full-frame, right? what else could they plan?
Didn't they come out and say that segment was already filled by other companies, hence why they wanted to focus on APS-C and medium format?
E mount is 46mm diameter, X mount 44mm, it can handle smtgh very close to FF. Could be APSH sensor, could be a dual APSC sensor 32x24 kinda like Arri ( 4/3 FF would be great ) could be a dual MFT sensor 27x18 ( 3/2 S35 )
m43 just to piss off Kasey LOL
‘’ Boss! That weirdo is back in the shop again!’’
Cheers, Kasey!
This font really suits the vibe of the channel, I suggest you keep it
Even though, I know you won't... 😂
1:31 - you're literally a genius Casey!
The fuji got the shill bug for that Joby Rangepod LOL...
I hadn’t noticed the holes in the elbows of your sweatshirt until you tested the 135 Plena. 🤷🏻♂️
Isn't there some kind of "focus hold" setting that changes the rate at which Nikon chooses a new target for focus? Wonder if that is part of the problem when its already focused on someone else and you hop in?
Edit: I went and found the setting... Menu>Focus>"Focus tracking with lock-on"
Yeah the 35mm will be better focal length for street/travel, but the 50mm looks fine. Just wish they made it pro so I can ditch the 50mm 1.2
2:59 HOLY POP!
welcome to fujifilm simulations!
Are you sure that wasn't the 3D POP Police 🚔🤣
purple and green for life!🤣😂
Could you make a vid about Canon and Magiclantern ? Get a Canon M or 700D ?
16:09 not buying a fuji anymore, even if someone give it to me for free
Fujifilm is like Leica, except that their cameras are made in sweatshops.
Classic Fuji AF
@@kingghidorah8106 that explains a lot of things 🤣
@@jcar4522 i know right, charging €2700 for a camera whose only major advantage over the €1200 competence is 1/8000th is just 🤯, and their excuse? SHORTAGES! which is ironic because Fujifilm has more stable market than Sony and Canon because of the so called "hybrid shooters"
Leicas are made in a sweatshop, just priced higher so you feel important
The xs-10 doesn't suffer from the Fuji AI-AF shenanigans
You should be committed if you're considering FujiX in 2024.
Can you check the Viltrox 28 1.8? I feel like it has the most pop of the viltrox lenses.
15:00 is your skin that smooth or your just happy to see us?
The only lens which I loved&hated same time was Sigma 105mm 1.4 art (I hated it because of its weight) which had 3D pop. I do own nikon 85mm 1.2 S and 200mm f2, but they do not have 3D pop (shame).
