- In this episode I take a first look and give my initial impressions on the just released Fuji XF 16-80mm lens for video applications. I also talk a lot about the 18-55mm but forgot to mention that that lens is NOT weather resistant like the 16-80. Seems to be a great all around lens with a big gotcha!

Thanks for the fuji content. Sold my 5D IV for an X-T3 and loving it so far!
Did you keep your glass or trade those as well?
Slowly sold canon and bought Fuji. Never bothered with adapters 🙂
@@mribi Dude I am right there myself, although I do have an adapter. My initial plans were to keep my glass and use an adapter and that has worked out well but now plans have changed. After this job I have in about a week I'm going to sell most of my Canon glass and get Fuji glass. Reason being I feel like I'm half assing why I moved to Fuji. Great quality and size. I can't take advantage of the size if I still have all this massive glass. Also 3 of my lenses are weather sealed which is great and all, but most if not all adapters aren't. That's two possibly compromised points to ruin things. The connection point of the lens to the adapter and then the adapter to the body.
Great video. I just received the XT-5 with the 16-80 and have tried it out and already love the combination. I like the IBIS and the range of this lens. I only do stills. Most videos on the 16-80 highly recommend this lens. I have been a Nikon user for many years and got into the Fuji system because of the weight and compactness at my "tender" age.😀
Great analysis of the 16-80. Now that it's been over a year since you posted this, do you still prefer the 16-80 for video, or would you rather have the faster 16-55? I'm trying to decide between these two lenses for video.
If you have IBIS I would say the 16-55. Still need to use as a variable prime but it’s the better lens, and a stop faster.
f/2.8 would be great!!
A little more sharpness would be great!!
Well done! I'm going to try the Samyang 12 mm f 2.0, already having the Fuji 18 - 55 mm f 2.8 - 4.0, which is a great lens, but a but just a bit short of being wide enough.
Fuji xf10-24mm is also an excellent lens with ois for video
I’m glad I found your channel (and subscribed). I recently got into digital photography (after shooting film for many years), I’m not a pro, I just do it for fun. My first (and only) digital camera is the Fujifilm X-T2, I have the XF-16mm f/2.8 and the XF-35mm f/2 (i’m very happy with both), I have this lens on pre-order (the 16-80) and most RUclips reviewers are not giving it a great score, most are saying that it’s a 7 or 8 out of 10, except for a youtuber that goes by the name “the angry photographer”, he claims that it is a 10 out of 10. I use the camera 100% for stills, I don't have any interest in video, will you be doing anymore testing with it? especially for stills. Thank you.
Thanks Gem...on my wish list for sure
Why not buy a speedbooster like the Viltrox and use the 24-105 Canon? It will be a 24-105 f4 with +1 f stop, IS and no exposure shift while zooming. And the best - you already own the lens!
Main reasons are overall size of kit and also AF features of native Fujifilm glass. That said it is an option but will make overall set up a lot bigger.
Since this is a constant f/4, would it work to lock exposure when zooming to prevent the exposure flicker issue? I’ve tried it with the 2.8-4 lens and it prevents that from happening, but of course the image is somewhat under exposed because you’re zooming from 2.8-4. I would think you would be ok doing that with this lens since you stay at f4.
Taylor Wilson That Lens was set to an f/4 when zooming and I wouldn’t generally set aperture or ISO to auto to compensate.
Really detailed review, thanks! Tell me for a start with XT-3 I have two options with a "kit lens". One is of course 18-55mm and second 16-80mm. The price difference is just a 100$. Which is going to perform better in video? (Ordering 23mm f2 too).
Are you getting the X-T3 or X-T4? The kit lens is a stop faster on the wide end but if you want constant aperture you need to stop down to a 4. The 16-80 give you extra reach and might be better if you are shooting a lot of interviews. The 23 is a rockstar. I also love the 35/2 and 50/2 but use the 35 more than the 50.
Thanks a lot! very detail...
I found this video very useful but have a question: I'm new to Fuji and currently have an X-T4 with the 16-80 on pre-order. However, I'm wondering whether it would be better for me to pay extra to get the 16-55 f2.8 instead. With the bundle, the 16-80 would only come to $500, but I'm wondering if the better image quality and faster aperture would make the 16-55 worth the extra investment. For reference, I'm wanting to use it for both video and stills, particularly portraits and buildings. If you could just get one and did not anticipate being able to afford additional lenses anytime soon, which would you go with? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Great ?. For architectural stills the 16-80 would be fine. 80mm at f/4 is OK but for portraits at that focal length (or even 50-55), I think you’ll want 2.8 or faster.
16-55 is a great lens it’s just not as long in short telephoto.
@@theC47 Thank you for your reply! In that case, unless for some reason it would be a really bad choice for video, I will probably go with the 16-55. I appreciate your insight.
Did you come to a conclusion about the 16 80
Is this a better buy over the kit 18 55mm ?
Depends. Optics are similar. If I had the money and was getting an X-T4 I would probably opt for the 16-55 f/2.8
Exposure changes when zoom in in zoom out. Is this normal?
Do you feel that, being a new lens, it has better stabilization and faster/ reliable focus than the 18-55?
Thank you for the review.
It seems similar to me so far. Need to use more to give a fuill assesment.
Thanx for the reply and by the way, thank you for sharing knowledge and experience through the years.
@@erickmunari3975 For sure!
Can we set the is mode in the menu on the x-e3? I dont see such a setting. Is ıt comes after you put the lens on?
I wish can can afford the camera gear I want to get
Man, that apparent exposure change while zooming is such a deal breaker for video.
The fuji cameras would be the perfect run and gun cameras for photo/video, but there's no zoom that can compliment that style of video natively. Seems like a huge gap!
If you use it as a variable prime it’s fine but yes, for run and gun no bueno!
I thought the zoom while rolling (zwr) only worked on old king fu movies.
RUclipsr Pal2Tech also made a Video about this subject. Some viewer mentioned that turning the ISO and Aperture to Auto mitigated the “problem”. Try it!
@@pg205 I know about this "fix" but it's not the way i would ever shoot video as aperture is generally fixed (to maintain a desired depth of field at a given focal length).
For such a small lens, fuji make such big boxes. Fuji need to think about the environment.
As you zoom, there is an obvious focus issue. As you are zooming, the lens is not mechanically parfocal, but the firmware is automatically adjusting the focus to try and make it stay in focus continuously. So once you stop zooming, it is back in focus, but during zoom, the focus is drifting in and out trying to catch up. It does this even in manual focus. However, per another reviewer, you can improve the focus and exposure performance while zooming. Just put the lens in auto aperture mode and the body in auto ISO mode and try again. It’s much, much better, but not completely fixed. Maybe could be used in video recording depending upon how critical you are and how fast you change the zoom. Try this and let us know if it helps. Maybe make another video showing the improvement.
Karl Volk Thanks for the comments and feedback Karl. It’s a strange hybrid of a lens. I am not planning to use it any other way than as a variable prime. That’s how I treat the 18-55 as well. I wouldn’t set it to auto aperture as that’s a fixed quantity the way I shoot. I probably wouldn’t also set it to auto ISO for video recording (I do for stills).
See this video for example of improvement. Seems worth testing out to me, even if it isn’t how you normally shoot. ruclips.net/video/PzYvOTxl1yQ/видео.html
The inability to zoom in and out for video kills this for me. For stills, I'm sure it's excellent as well as a variable prime. But it would've been so good to utilize zooming in or out without that flickering.
Nicholas Gonzalez fujinon mk lenses are the answer if you are looking to zooming. Any lenses with wires will always have flicker issues.
However, new lens firmware update resolved this issue.
Which version of the lens firmware?
@@theC47 I can verify that the lens firmware 1.02 did not resolve the focus wobble issue whatsoever. I've made three videos about this problem and finally had to return my copy. This focus wobble on this lens is much worse than the 18-55. Great channel you have by the way! Just subscribed...
My 2 cents , this is not for video, if you're a photographer, then give it a try.
Parfocal… not a chance. With HD even the very few old photo lenses that were parfocal aren't considered to be parfocal anymore. You have to look to a cinema lens for that.
It depends on the lens. The Canon 70-200 f/4 IS is absolutely parfocal in HD. I’ve owned the lens for years and it one reason I love it so much.
Sorry, you missed this part “With HD even the very few old photo lenses that were parfocal aren't considered to be parfocal anymore“ I’ve owned a few of the old photo lenses that were parfocals too. Lensrentals blog had the complete list of parfocals and they removed it years ago because... Due to HD coming to the market.... today cinema lenses are where you’ll find parfocal zooms. Not looking to argue but ya gotta put your ego aside and get some knowledge.

@@getmikie2eatit366 There's no ego here. Trust me. It's one lens I'm referring to.
@@getmikie2eatit366 BTW, this is so NOT important with what's going on in the world right now. I'm tapping out of this conversation.
initial impression = safe the time and read specs about lense in 1 minute ;)
Or save the time of posting a comment like this.
@@theC47 I'm saving time for others ;)
I actually somewhat agree. This video spends too much time in describing the lens when most of the audience would already know these specs. We mostly want to hear your impressions of the lens. Please consider this constructive criticism and not an attack. You’re making videos and I’m not, so more power to you!
@@swagonman It's not the comment. It's the tone.
theC47 I fully agree with you on that. People should be nicer and more compassionate. I believe we all have a right to be rude, but we should morally refrain from exercising that right in most cases.
