Hey everyone! I made 2 mistakes in this video, so the 15-45 does have OIS, there are just no switches for it so you have to turn it on in the menu and the 18-55 is not weather sealed. I sincerely apologize for these mistakes! Still learning! Thank you!
Finally a video to sell me on the 15-45. I've been stuck between which one to get, but was always leaning more towards the 15-45 because of the wide angle. Thanks for the review! Definitely subscribed!
@@jordanwilliams1546 Im still struggling between the 15-45mm lens or the 18-55mm lens. The only downside i see for the 18-55mm lens is the size is so much bigger, and I plan to use this mainly for travel photography. That plus it costs about $500 more for the 18-55mm package compared to the 15-45mm lens one.... I plan to buy the Fuji X-T30 II, and the 15-45mm lens is basically free
@@dafreshcrew8327 It is under the shooting menu (the one with the camera icon in the left hand column of menu). Look for IS Mode. There are a few options. Google the X-T30 manual if you don't have the manual that would have come with the camera.
@@dafreshcrew8327 I don't really know, I don't really do video. Try here: fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t30/menu_shooting/shooting_setting/index.html#is_mode
Both very good lenses. I have had the 18-55 and I still have the 15-45 plus a 16-80F4. The 15-45 lives on my XE3 pretty much all the time. It makes for such a fun camera. I sold the 18-55 as it is much bigger than the 15-45, size matters. The bigger 16-80 I use on an XT4 for work.
The 15-45mm is such a neat little package and makes mirrorless even on aps-c a compact package. I still have the 16-80mm I bought as a kit with a X-S10 but the weight and size just make it seem unwieldy and a burden. For just fun and recording things around the 15-45mm does fine. I enjoy Fuji for its film sims and colours but hang on to an EM10 II with the 30mm macro as the only Fuji lens that is actually macro 1:1 is a stonking price.
2:35 I kind of like that sound. Reminds me of Digicams from the Early 2000's. Lol. Also, the low light shots of this camera regardless of the lens is superb. Great Review! Keep It Up!
Just fund your channel throw the Fujifilm XS10 review... and definitely subscribed! I just bought the Fujifilm XS 10 a week ago.. the very first real camera that I own. I'm really loving it, I used to use only my Iphone but was time to take the next step. I always loved the Fujifilm camera, the look, options, they have really good cameras and lens. Really glad that I join the Fuji world. Keep the good work 😊
Nice review of the 15-45 and 18-55. I own the 15-45, primarily for the extra wide 15mm. Both have their place, but there is a noticeable composition difference between 15 and 18 that I prefer. It's the main reason I bought the 15-45, as well as its incredibly low price. The 15-45 has OIS, but probably not to the extent as the 18-55. If there is a weakness of the 15-45, the sharpness declines after 28mm. It's still very usable between 28+ and 45. There is some softness in the corners at all focal lengths but that's not a concern for most photos. And, I wish it had an aperture ring. But the lens shines during daylight hours, and travel. One doesn't have to use the imprecise power zoom. Changing the AF+MF to Off in the menu allows the manual focus ring to adjust the zoom. Overall, I really like this lens. It's small, light, very sharp between 15-28+ and useable above. It's my go to travel lens, along with my 35 1.4 for low light, bokeh and overall great performance.
Hello, small question. I have yet to buy the camera and I am considering the 15-45 lens since I am a beginner. I have only shoot on phone cameras. I have the money shall I get both, fisrdt 1455 then after a while 18-55? Or should I go directly to 18-55? And I usually only do landscapes, no people or close ups
I'd say the compact size of the 15-45 is a huge advantage too though. I actually had it some years ago and I paired it with an X-Pro2 of all things. That might sound weird, but the thing is that I'm used to those compact f2 primes, and almost all the other zoom lenses just feel large and unwieldy to me, while that one feels so lightweight! Thanks for making the video though, love your perspective on photo gear!
Very useful. Quick tip…there isn’t actually a single video on RUclips that compares these two lenses AND the 16-80 version. So maybe revisit and include that one as well; as those are the 3 lens options in the UK when you first buy the camera. I was struck by the quality of the 15-45 and the size. I think the other one may be too big to get started with; as I’m just moving from my smartphone to my first proper mirrorless camera. looking at the X-S10; but somewhat fearful they are about to bring out a new version, as this came out a year ago? Do you think an X-S11 is in the offing? I don’t want to spend out a ton of cash only for a new one to appear a month later.

I was already considering the 18-55 and this comparison makes me lean more towards it. As a street photographer the noisy focus motor of the 15-45 is a deal breaker. But it is pretty wild how optically similar the two are.
Bought the x-s20 a few days ago and came on to you're video. Just wanted to leave you a little feedback that the aesthetics of the video are f**ing amazing. I enjoyed it! Greetings from the Black Forest ✌️
Wow! I love this video! Thank you! I just bought a Fujifilm X-S10 with 15-45 mm I actually made this video about it except the lens. I was surprised about the lens. It's pretty sharp and yeah, It's also great for vlogging. 😁
Thank you so much! That means a lot! Yeah. The 15-45 may not look like much but it really does pack a punch and has so much to offer. I'm glad you're happy with your kit! Happy shooting! 😁
how's it xs10 ? i m thinkin about buying this beauty beast. will it wurk for affordable gud musical vedio ? & how's the color ,do we need to colorgrade after shoot or we can shoot totally in cinematik color?
I think Fujifilm has ruled the world this year and years to come, because in terms of camera, everywhere I find only Fujifilm, Fujifilm, Fujifilm and Fujifilm. I shall have to think of buying a Fujifilm camera in the coming years because I think this camera has some special qualities.
Thank you for the video, I agree about the 18-55, just got it the other day! - Now the 2 lenses I generally travel with on my X-S10 is the 18-55 and the Samyang 12mm when I want wide! - I am thinking to sell my 16-80 f4, there's just not enough background separation at f4 and it's much bigger/heavier. I also bought the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens when I want to travel light :) - also for studio talking head video can't beat the Viltron 23mm and 33mm F1.4, but I don't usually travel with those.
This is the content that I need coz Im planning to buy the X-S10. Really admire your vlogging skills very competitive. I just subscribes to your channel.
I'm in the Philippines now looking to get into photography. Gonna buy a second hand which comes with a 15-45, but I worried a little bit since it was such a budget friendly lens. But I think I'll just go with it and see if I enjoy taking pics. This country has a lot of beautiful nature sites and cool animals to take pictures of. I probably have 200 pics of those tiny mini dinosaurs that crawl on my wall and ceiling, taken from my phone haha.
I purchased a used X-T2 that came with the battery grip and the 15-45 lens. I thought I would enjoy the motorized movement of it, but I find that it can be a bit sluggish and I missed some opportunities because I couldn't zoom fast enough. Looking to get either a prime or the 18-55. I also feel like many of my images are much darker than they appear in my view finder, and I can only hope that it's the lens. New to the camera and newish to photography, but so far I'm loving the camera.
I just pulled the trigger on the x-s10 minutes ago with the 15-45 because the 18-55 was sold out. But i think will be happy with that too. Nice video, you just earned a new abo:) can i ask why your english so fluent? All the phillippine people i met didn‘t speak so well like you:)
Finally a good comparison between the two kit lenses of xs10, torn between the two on which to buy. Thanks for this. And also Planning to buy the xs10(body only) and the 35mm f2 lens, would you recommend this set up? Thanks
If you'd watch 18-55mm lens disassembling, you'd be surprised to discover that inside aluminum shell everything that holds glass is plastic. But, if you believe that anodized aluminum look and extra weight would make you a better photographer, go for it.
hi great sharing. can you let me know what equipment did we use to make the videos stable during your 15-45 walkarounds? or were these 'stabilized' using post?
Just a quick correction. The Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-5.6 is not weather sealed. You said it was in the video. Just a quick correction. Love 💘 your video.
Was hoping for a comparison indoor shot, where the camera is about 1.5-2 Arm Lengths away from the Subject in a "low" light environment. I am looking for camera and lens with Indoor recordings, but while most people like Bokeh, I don't. So I am looking for something with a wide angle, but a relatively High F (Let's just say that I am not a fan of the F1.8 of my Sony ZV1, where more F makes the picture too dark, or needs ISO beyond 800 which adds too much grain). So a comparison of both cameras at like F 3.5-4.0 would have been cool.
I needed this video ! Thank you! ! 😊 Would you say the 15-45mm with a prime (fixed focal length) is a good compromise ? Is the image quality from the primes better than the 18-55mm ?
Thank you so much!! Sorry, I'm getting to you so late, but yes that would be a great combination. If you get an ultra wide kit and a fast prime lens you're pretty much set. I did the same, I have the 18-55 with a 23 f2 lens. The 23 f2 is incredibly sharp. 😁
I'm in the same situation, did you make your choice? Budget wise I'm leaning toward the second choice, will be able to buy better lens later I guess...
Great review kababayan. Well explained. Juat got my x100s and XE3 ans enjoying these jewels. I havs vlogs too on analog film cameras. Hope you can viait too. Stay safe.
I am looking at that 18-55 too...but I think it's not weather sealed...? Thank you for your insight....since having already the 15-45 I think I might forfait the 18-55 for a prime :)
Hi thx for the comparison I'm waiting for the delivery of an xs-10 with 15_45 kit lens I think I will be happy I can do pictures lf my dog with a panasonic tz90. I will be fine with daily pictures xc 15-45 and I think the f.2 35 mm would be nice for film and cleariest pictures. I wasn't sure but I think my calculation is not bad. What do you think of it ? (Sorry for my bad english) and.again nice video !
been wanting to buy fuji x-s20 either with XC15-45mm ($1399) or with xf 18-55mm lens ($1699) bundle. do you think it's worth to get the bundle with xc15-45mm lens and just buy sigma 18-50mm or just go for the xf 18-55mm lens bundle instead? I'm new to photography and looking for suggestion. thanks
Thank you for this wonderful video. You help reinforce my choice for the the18-55 lens. I have the X100v and am considering an X-S10 body for traveling and vlogging. Will you say the X-S10 would be a better choice for me than the X-E4? Thank you once again.
@@thecrypticmystic28 sensor readout, build quality, ergonomics, video options and codex, XTrans processor, I feel like there are a lot or pros for sure
I have every lens you can think of Fujifilm. I shoot only Fujifilm. Between both lens mentioned here, for video, the XF 18-55mm is way better. The autofocus works way better than the XF 16-80mm. Personally, I carry one lens only on my street camera and that is the XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6. Why? Because of the extra range plus it is weather sealed, and has OIS. It is also heavier which means that heavier yields better image stability. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your great video! Could you elaborate on the noise the 15-45 makes while zooming? Does it mean that the lens uses a motor to zoom the lens instead of a proper zoom ring? This might be a stupid question, I've pretty much only been shooting on iPhone/GoPro in the past few years. 😅 Ideally I'd like to have a 15-45 with a bigger aperture (and "normal" zoom), but that doesn't seem to exist. There's the XF 16-55mm f2.8, but that lens costs as much as the camera body. 🙈
Hey there! Sorry I'm getting to you so late. First off, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! The noise the 15-45 makes is very reminiscent of older digital cameras. It has a proper zoom ring attached and you can control the motors with that. The 15-45 is a fantastic lens even with a 3.5-5.6 aperture. And yes, finding a zoom to that wide with a wide aperture is quite hard. If you're on a budget maybe consider getting the 15-45 as a zoom and a samyang 12mm F2 prime?
@@BiancaMikaehla No worries, thanks for your reply! I actually did a lot of research in the meantime and I've kinda come full circle. Maybe the 15-45 is actually a good lens for me, especially in the beginning because it's my first proper camera in a while. The concept of an electric zoom in an external lens still sounds weird to me, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker. I probably don't even need a second lens because I mostly want to use it for video and vlogs. Now I only have to consider if I REALLY should buy a camera or if I should rather continue using my existing equipment for now. 😂 Thanks again, Bianca!
Both lens has ibis. Did you use gimbal too? Such a smooth consistent motion flow in video. How did you get it? I must appreciate your video-taking skill. I like the 15 wide end a lot as reflected in your video. If the video is taken at fixed zoom, then sound is avoided of digital zoom and 15-45 seems a better bet. Alas I cannot find the lens anywhere. Perhaps it is discontinued by Fujifilm.
@@BiancaMikaehla Thanks for reply and taking your time Bianca. I just recently got X-E4 last month with 27mm to begin with and would get 16mm 2.8 after some time as not sadly not getting the 15-45 (yes, now comes with body only). Gimbal helps? as both these lenses as well as camera does not have IBIS or OIS. I loved all your shots, irrespective of you used gimbal for few or not. You have your work displayed anywhere online?
Thanks for this video! I'm thinking of switching from my Sony a6300 to maybe a Fuji X-S10, and considering getting both the 18-55 and the 23mm to start with for YT and IG content. What do you think?
That's the exact same kit I have and I absolutely love it. The 18-55 is fairly wide with great reach and a decent aperture of 2.8-4 for good background separation. The 23f2 is an amazing lens for street photography as well as a great broll lens cause of it's much wider aperture. Autofocus works well with both lenses and the X-S10 is just a fantastic hybrid. I actually reviewed the X-S10 on my channel with lots of samples from both lenses so if you want to see more from that specific kit, go check it out. Thanks, Nate! Glad you enjoyed this video 😊
You don't have the 16-80mm kit option? In Norway we have 3 different kits (with discount) and apparently they only have 1 in Japan, the 15-45 :/ Edit: Although the 16-80mm F4 isn't very good of a video lens so maybe you just ignored it :P
XF-lenses are not "all metal built", they come with internals that are mostly plastic. Even more expensive XF lenses, such as the new f4/18-120mm LM PZ WR, are built mostly of plastic, I just saw a FujiFilm assembly video. Only the XF mount and a thin outer shell are metal compared to XC which are all plastic.
@@dragangrasic1328Kinda surprised it callled the 18-55 ”all metal”, of all the XF lenses I've held it's the one that probably feel the most plasticky (hard plastic mind you). I think droppping the ”all” and just saying “metal build” is still reasonable though, as relative to most lenses they do feature way more metal
I would have loved to get my hands on it! I feel like it has such a good focal range from a very wide 16mm to go as far as 80mm. I did see a few reviews saying that it has weird autofocus when zooming in and out but I think it would be a great all around lens. 😊
Hey everyone! I made 2 mistakes in this video, so the 15-45 does have OIS, there are just no switches for it so you have to turn it on in the menu and the 18-55 is not weather sealed. I sincerely apologize for these mistakes! Still learning! Thank you!

These two mistakes would actually overturn the conclusion.
7:20 its NOT weather sealed! Its NOT WEATHER RESISTANT(WR)
Sooo you are misinforming

Fugi needs a new release of the 18-55 with an improved aperture ring: click settings and f- stops identified.

Thanks for your video! It really helped me to make a decision... Greetings from Germany
Great review!
Just a quick correction. The Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-5.6 is not weather sealed. You said it was in the video. Just a quick correction. Love 💘 your video.
Thanks for the correction! I overlooked that, sorry! But thank you, I appreciate it 😊 glad you still enjoyed the video!!
I have ever used the 15 to 45 but I have the 18 to 55 and it is very good.
Was hoping for a comparison indoor shot, where the camera is about 1.5-2 Arm Lengths away from the Subject in a "low" light environment. I am looking for camera and lens with Indoor recordings, but while most people like Bokeh, I don't. So I am looking for something with a wide angle, but a relatively High F (Let's just say that I am not a fan of the F1.8 of my Sony ZV1, where more F makes the picture too dark, or needs ISO beyond 800 which adds too much grain). So a comparison of both cameras at like F 3.5-4.0 would have been cool.
I needed this video ! Thank you! ! 😊
Would you say the 15-45mm with a prime (fixed focal length) is a good compromise ? Is the image quality from the primes better than the 18-55mm ?
Thank you so much!! Sorry, I'm getting to you so late, but yes that would be a great combination. If you get an ultra wide kit and a fast prime lens you're pretty much set. I did the same, I have the 18-55 with a 23 f2 lens.
The 23 f2 is incredibly sharp. 😁
Thank you for your response 😊😊
Hey i‘m new Bianca i‘m new into photography and i‘m wondering why you got a fixed focallength(23f2) if the 18-55 has the 23 focallength too?
For me it‘s more about the weight, if the XF is worth the higher weight.
I'm facing a choice between x-s10 with 18-55mm and x-s20 with 15-45mm at the same price. Which do you think will be a better option?
I'm in the same situation, did you make your choice? Budget wise I'm leaning toward the second choice, will be able to buy better lens later I guess...
Xs-20 camera beats almost everything in specs. better lens you can buy later
Yup, I bought an X-S20 with 15-45. Next lens will be a 35mm :D

Carlos Loff Fonseca, Lisbon. You helped a lot for I have been interested on a Fuji X s10 plus a lens: 15 .45 or 18 .55. Best regards, go on ...
Thanks Bianca!
Great review kababayan. Well explained. Juat got my x100s and XE3 ans enjoying these jewels. I havs vlogs too on analog film cameras. Hope you can viait too. Stay safe.
HEY GUYS, Hit the LIKE button for that awesome intro. I am sure it took a lot of hardwork for that few seconds of clip.
Thank you so much for that! It means a lot 😁 and yes, it took a lot of hard work ahahaha
I am looking at that 18-55 too...but I think it's not weather sealed...? Thank you for your insight....since having already the 15-45 I think I might forfait the 18-55 for a prime :)
Thanks this helped me decide :)
Glad I could help!
Unfortunately, the 18-55 is not WR. I wish it was though.
Sorry about that, I was mistaken. Thank you for telling me! Still learning! Now I wish it was too. Hahaha
Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video Bianca
Hi thx for the comparison I'm waiting for the delivery of an xs-10 with 15_45 kit lens I think I will be happy I can do pictures lf my dog with a panasonic tz90. I will be fine with daily pictures xc 15-45 and I think the f.2 35 mm would be nice for film and cleariest pictures. I wasn't sure but I think my calculation is not bad. What do you think of it ? (Sorry for my bad english) and.again nice video !
Good video.!!
How is the focus breathing on the 15-45?
Great informative comparison, can i ask what's the background music you used in this video? thanks.
been wanting to buy fuji x-s20 either with XC15-45mm ($1399) or with xf 18-55mm lens ($1699) bundle. do you think it's worth to get the bundle with xc15-45mm lens and just buy sigma 18-50mm or just go for the xf 18-55mm lens bundle instead? I'm new to photography and looking for suggestion. thanks
I am still not a fan of the PSAM dial after switching to Shutter speed dial of the XT20
thanks a lot for this video
Thank you for this wonderful video. You help reinforce my choice for the the18-55 lens. I have the X100v and am considering an X-S10 body for traveling and vlogging. Will you say the X-S10 would be a better choice for me than the X-E4? Thank you once again.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! The Ibis on the X-S10 will definitely help with vlogging. 😊
after watching a ton of Xt200 video now I ended up getting a X S 10 🤣🤣
Hahaha. Both are great cameras! I have reviews covering both! You can check out my X-S10 video 😊
Same here 😅
Apart from pixels, what is the advantage of XS10 over XT200?
@@thecrypticmystic28 sensor readout, build quality, ergonomics, video options and codex, XTrans processor, I feel like there are a lot or pros for sure
@@thecrypticmystic28 also all the film simulations
Nice sharing. With 15-45 lens, does the focusing sound bothering when using for video recording?
Cool video,do make a video on fujifilm lenses that are around 400mm
Thank you! Will consider it! Once I can get my hands on a nice zoom. 😊
Good review but it seems you didn't edit the photos in raw.
In Canada, there's no option for the fuji x-s10 with a 15-45mm kit lens... it's either 18-55mm or 16-80mm. Which one do you think is best for video?
Although I never got my hands on the 16-80, it does seem a lot more versatile for video. 🙂
I have every lens you can think of Fujifilm. I shoot only Fujifilm. Between both lens mentioned here, for video, the XF 18-55mm is way better. The autofocus works way better than the XF 16-80mm. Personally, I carry one lens only on my street camera and that is the XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6. Why? Because of the extra range plus it is weather sealed, and has OIS. It is also heavier which means that heavier yields better image stability. Hope this helps.
@@CharlezRichard perfect! Thanks so much. I actually ended up buying the 18-55mm
Thanks for your great video! Could you elaborate on the noise the 15-45 makes while zooming? Does it mean that the lens uses a motor to zoom the lens instead of a proper zoom ring? This might be a stupid question, I've pretty much only been shooting on iPhone/GoPro in the past few years. 😅
Ideally I'd like to have a 15-45 with a bigger aperture (and "normal" zoom), but that doesn't seem to exist. There's the XF 16-55mm f2.8, but that lens costs as much as the camera body. 🙈
Hey there! Sorry I'm getting to you so late. First off, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! The noise the 15-45 makes is very reminiscent of older digital cameras. It has a proper zoom ring attached and you can control the motors with that. The 15-45 is a fantastic lens even with a 3.5-5.6 aperture. And yes, finding a zoom to that wide with a wide aperture is quite hard. If you're on a budget maybe consider getting the 15-45 as a zoom and a samyang 12mm F2 prime?
@@BiancaMikaehla No worries, thanks for your reply! I actually did a lot of research in the meantime and I've kinda come full circle. Maybe the 15-45 is actually a good lens for me, especially in the beginning because it's my first proper camera in a while. The concept of an electric zoom in an external lens still sounds weird to me, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker. I probably don't even need a second lens because I mostly want to use it for video and vlogs. Now I only have to consider if I REALLY should buy a camera or if I should rather continue using my existing equipment for now. 😂 Thanks again, Bianca!
@@Koji-888 Thanks for the info. I actually bought the (old) 16-50mm instead.
How is the noise of XC 15-45 when you take videos? I have XF 18 F2 and it makes too much noise so I can't use video footage.
Hi! I'm planning to buy Xt20, right now i have XT100,which is better between the two? Thank you
Thank you po ate. Learned a lot.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The Fujinon 15-45 f/3.5-5.6 is no longer available it seems.
Which lens give more image quality 15-45mm or 18-55mm?
18-55mm is better in image quality. But not by that much. Getting a 15-45mm with XC 35mm f2 is better choice cheap and you get all focal length.
Very good video. Thank's.
Thank you!! 😊
Both lens has ibis. Did you use gimbal too? Such a smooth consistent motion flow in video. How did you get it? I must appreciate your video-taking skill. I like the 15 wide end a lot as reflected in your video. If the video is taken at fixed zoom, then sound is avoided of digital zoom and 15-45 seems a better bet. Alas I cannot find the lens anywhere. Perhaps it is discontinued by Fujifilm.
I used a gimbal for some of the shots, yes. But not all of them. I think they only sell them with cameras now. Kinda sad.
@@BiancaMikaehla Thanks for reply and taking your time Bianca. I just recently got X-E4 last month with 27mm to begin with and would get 16mm 2.8 after some time as not sadly not getting the 15-45 (yes, now comes with body only). Gimbal helps? as both these lenses as well as camera does not have IBIS or OIS. I loved all your shots, irrespective of you used gimbal for few or not. You have your work displayed anywhere online?
@@BiancaMikaehla Which Gimbal you use?
@@twocupsstudio so how you dealed to get stabilization?
i have the same problem now
@@someguy6345 Haven't yet got a gimbal. But the thumb grip can help a little.
Thanks for this video! I'm thinking of switching from my Sony a6300 to maybe a Fuji X-S10, and considering getting both the 18-55 and the 23mm to start with for YT and IG content. What do you think?
That's the exact same kit I have and I absolutely love it. The 18-55 is fairly wide with great reach and a decent aperture of 2.8-4 for good background separation. The 23f2 is an amazing lens for street photography as well as a great broll lens cause of it's much wider aperture. Autofocus works well with both lenses and the X-S10 is just a fantastic hybrid. I actually reviewed the X-S10 on my channel with lots of samples from both lenses so if you want to see more from that specific kit, go check it out. Thanks, Nate! Glad you enjoyed this video 😊
@@BiancaMikaehla Eyyyy sige I'll watch after work. Thanks for the reco! I'm more set na on this kit hahaha
Thank you bianca, new subscriber here
Te meron pong ois ang 15-45, pwede mo sya enable disable sa shooting menu " is mode "
Thanks, thanks thanks!!!!
You don't have the 16-80mm kit option? In Norway we have 3 different kits (with discount) and apparently they only have 1 in Japan, the 15-45 :/
Edit: Although the 16-80mm F4 isn't very good of a video lens so maybe you just ignored it :P
Thank you sa info anyway ganda niyo po
Great review.. is image quality of xs10 same as xt3?
Thank you!! Yeah, they share the exact same sensor. 😊
XF-lenses are not "all metal built", they come with internals that are mostly plastic. Even more expensive XF lenses, such as the new f4/18-120mm LM PZ WR, are built mostly of plastic, I just saw a FujiFilm assembly video. Only the XF mount and a thin outer shell are metal compared to XC which are all plastic.
They *feel* hefty though.
@@torb-no anyway, a video full of errors and misinformation.
@@dragangrasic1328Kinda surprised it callled the 18-55 ”all metal”, of all the XF lenses I've held it's the one that probably feel the most plasticky (hard plastic mind you).
I think droppping the ”all” and just saying “metal build” is still reasonable though, as relative to most lenses they do feature way more metal
@@torb-no This is not reasonable but simply incorrect, because there are lenses out there actually made of solid metal.
@@dragangrasic1328 And people call those ”solid metal” as you say, or ”all-metal”. 🤷🏼
how much does a xc 15-45mm right now in the market? thanks
Great video
Thank you!
What mode did you use for taking video on the 15-45 lens?
everything was shot in manual mode.
which lens is better for landscape style photos?
15-45 for wide shots
its not weather sealed 18-55!
San mas ok gmitin for video graphy 45mm or 55mm?
Have you tried the 14mm 2.8 ?
What are your thoughts on the XF16-80mmF4 R WR Optical Image Stabiliser Lens as part of a kit. Its an extra £100 here in the UK
I would have loved to get my hands on it! I feel like it has such a good focal range from a very wide 16mm to go as far as 80mm. I did see a few reviews saying that it has weird autofocus when zooming in and out but I think it would be a great all around lens. 😊
love your accent :D
It would be nice if this review wasn’t that focused on video capture
