    Bought one a few weeks ago for my X-T5. I took it up to London's West End last weekend to try it out, and was blown away by the results! I was particularly pleased with the sharpness of many of the shots I took after dark. Very pleased with my purchase, especially at the price.

    Hey, Dylan. I just discovered your channel and I have to say that I really like it and the way you present your content. Very professional, very interesting, all business and no unnecessary bs. Thank you. I also like the way you show the picture examples with enough time to absorb all the “Exif” data and the image itself. Keep up with a great job! Definitely subscribing.

    Love your channel Dylan! I'm an aspiring street photography by night MD/Phd radiologist by day and I'm wondering what type photometry,AF & focus settings you'd recommend for my xt5?
    I love high contrast images with distinct deep shadows against the highlights, tac sharp images with clarity and Leica like feel/colors for a dramatic look!
    I also own a Fuji 33mm F1.4 WR ❤

    • @DylanGoldbyPhotographer
      @DylanGoldbyPhotographer  Год назад +1

      I rely on the EVF for exposure, so the photometry doesn't bother me at all. I leave it on the setting it comes out of the factory with. As for AF, you'll find me mentioning this quite a bit (check my family photography video for details), but I'm mostly a single point AF-S kinda guy. Very simple.
      I wouldn't have a clue about getting "Leica feel or colours" as I don't really do much post production. You'd be better off looking to a post-production channel for help there.
      Thanks!

    As Cheap, mightier, and more versatile candidate is the vastly underrated Fujinon XC OIS 15-45 mini zoom….. give it a shot if you think that it’s not. P.S. - I also own and shoot with higher end Fujinons ~

    I've just bought this lens. One thing I'm a bit disappointed in is fringing in the corners when the lens is wide open. This is particularly noticeable in winter shots with tree branches against a white sky. It does go away when you stop the lens down a bit and otherwise the lens is great. I was just wondering if other users had this experience or maybe I got a faulty lens? I am in general very happy with the lens but find it slightly annoying as this is my first Fujifilm prime and I wasn't expecting it.

    • @DylanGoldbyPhotographer
      @DylanGoldbyPhotographer  Год назад +1

      There's definitely a little fringing in the corners on my copy, as well. It's to be expected with a tiny little formula like this and, as you said, stopping down even a little helps greatly. The XF 33mm f/1.4 is much better in this regard, but it's also 5 times the price.

      @@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Thank you for replying. It's not a big problem really. I was just wondering if it was a problem with my copy of the lens only. The bare branches with white sky is the only time I've noticed it. I think I will hold onto my copy

      @@DylanGoldbyPhotographer it was my main about 5 years ago... But the last few years have corrected my photography hobby so much (pandemic and this war now), that I'm shooting too rarely and just my family in my small house most of the time. And 23mm is just much better for those conditions. But i loved my 23 1.4 and 35 1.4 so much years ago, that i can't say now which one is my favorite. Both focal lengths are great for me. ))

      That's not really a question anyone can answer but you. Do you want the flexibility of a zoom or the fast aperture of the prime? You can really ony determine that by understanding HOW you want to photograph things.
