Sucks about the exposure stepping! Not really acceptable (in my opinion) for a video focused zoom lens. Hopefully they can sort it out before the lens is released.
It’s hard to talk about it before I can use the raw files of the xh2s since I’m looking at jpgs that might have corrections on them. I’m my experience though, the lens performed very well in all conditions. Very surprising for a lens that does so much
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto It'd be really interesting once the camera is out though. It is said this lens has incredible autofocus, being tuned for the new system and thus outperforming other lenses.
Fuji lenses for photography have an aperture ring, manual zoom ring if zoom, and generally they have controlls which are better suited to photography. They also often have OIS in the lens, the optical stabilisation can really help hand hold some shots, especially combined with in body stabilsation. Also the photography lenses have a priority on sharpness throughout the frame, edge to edge, corners and centre. This lens tens to be a little soft away from the centre, compared to other Fuji lenses - but for film work this is probably a good thing for the most part. There are different design principals and this lens is heavily aimed towards video use, while being suitable for both.
I love this lens' potential -- I don't mind using some higher ISOs, but I'm a little worried about using f4 for sports photography/videography. I like the size-weight so much better than the 5-140 2.8. But, I'm concerned about low light.
How's the focus ring travel? This is very similar to Sony's 18-105 power zoom, and one issue I have with that lens is the focus ring goes from close to far in barely an inch of turn. Very difficult to get precise focus manually.
You are probably going to get a lot of questions like this, but: How does this compare to the 16-80mm? I am looking to replace my Nikon 24-120 after recently getting an x-t4. Is this the lens I am looking for?
how do you zoom from the LCd screen. i am using the XH2s and i donˋt see the zoom function on the lcd screen. Is there a setting I need to activate in order to see it? help please
Perhaps the lens auto-steps when it is in auto exposure or any priority mode? Was it used in all manual? Perhaps if the camera is on manual everything the exposure won't step? In any case, Thanks so much for the video.
I found you need to put in Auto ISO and have the rest manually dialed in for best results with all of the Fuji lenses. Regardless I hope they fix this bug because the camera is capable on Auto ISO mode.
Hopefully Fuji fixes the exposure stepping before releasing these new products. Of the lenses I own or tested, the 10-24, 16-55, 18-55 step while zooming but the 50-140 does not. I think it’s a camera issue and not a lens issue.

The article i read with thus video attached to called you a sports photographer but all ive seen on your page is wedding, nature, and car shoots. Just curious as to what kind of sport(s) you lean towards in terms of shooting (im a skateboard photographer) and if its worth upgrading from an xt3 to this. Mind you i only shoot photos.
Rusty boats is a good screen name. Shoot i may even name my first son rusty boats I also noticed you were jumping on a trampoline with .....Rusty springs. Might also make a good name for my second son.
Colors are up to you. I prefer Fuji colours, but use a canon R3 and R6 for my specific needs of doing both photo and video at the same time on a wedding day. If I just did landscapes or portraits either would be great
How was the low light with this lens for video considering it’s only a f4? I find myself doing real estate videos and some concerts. Seeing how you think it might perform?
Real estate I always want to be as wide as I can be, so 18 probably wouldn’t cut it for me. For low light tests, I was just running it on the h2s and won’t have access to my low light example raw files for another month or so until Adobe updates
You do not want a lens with this zoom ratio for architecture and you need to go far wider. High contrast lines require very good optical quality, something impossible in such a zoom. The 8-16mm f2.8 zoom will do the job.
I have a Fuji X-T10 and X-T2 with a 16mm, 23mm, 35mm, 90mm and a 18-55mm. Would it be worth it to purchase this lens as it combines all my prime lenses?
@@tonyxu8501 does great for portrait shots. F2 helps for low light and good bokeh. Also does well for event shooting like sports if you’re not able to get in close
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto thx quite nice! I most of the times do not use zooms because i realy dislike the way the inner tube extends (yes i am that shallow) 😆
Seems typical in video or broadcast lenses since most times they are part of a stabilized rig. Would be interesting to see a comparison with the FUJINON MKX18-55mmT2.9 since this brings par focal and power zooming to the one person documentarian
@@benard702 I think the team that designed the MK lenses were brought in for the design of this. That being said it is not a broadcast lens, it's pro-sumer and ois would have been pretty helpful. Still seems to have a lot going for it.
no stabilizer its a no go! It is a huge difference using the camera inbuilt stabilizer or the in lens stabilizer in a zoom-tele-lens! No Go! And there are still lots of Fujifans not using a x-t4 oder Fuji h2s! No use for them, except they are using an tripod!
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Improved a lot but isn’t it a bit disappointing to come up with the same kind of issues re-video autofocus than previous models: like the changes in exposure when zooming in or out, the weird things in the corners,…. They’ve been working for at least 3 years on this thing. Still have my XT-2 and was waiting for this xh2s or xh2 (not sure a 40 megapixel sensor on apsc won’t bring some other issues). At this price point, it’s significantly more expensive than a Nikon Z6II. I’m not really interested in video but if I pay this kind of price, I want video to work as it should for when I need it. Without the weight issue of FF, I would happily go back to Nikon (my first love) or even Canon (the R6 really seems like a win for Canon). I will probably wait for end of year to see if Nikon comes out with a Z6III….

2:37 What af settings do you use besides eye tracking
Really seems like the ultimate travel lens if you’re ok with f/4
Hi mate im interested to buy this lens for weddings , with your experience what do you think mate
I don't know how but your humor gets better and better since I've first subscribed! Golden
This lens is more tilted to motion creators than stills creators. Could you do a comparison with the FUJINON MKX18-55mmT2.9?

@@chtojeetovsezanyaliindeed they did
@@Eyeofkamau I already use this lens, it's very nice for video.
Could you talk more about image quality of this Len? Although this is a pro-production len.. or compare the other fujifilm zoom lens. Many thanks.

Hi Tayor,
Which alternative for photography would you recommend instead of this lens? Thanks
Hello! When you saying "for pure photography... i might suggest another lens", what do you mean by this ?

For video I think it could be reasonable. For photo it would depend on the venues you typically shoot at. I’d probably want to go 2.8 for pictures

I'm not a fan of the 16-80 and I've had two of them. Just never satisfied with the image quality. This lens looks really promising
Hello I have , the 18-135, do you think that for take Pictures the quality is better?
how do you zoom from the LCd screen. i am using the XH2s and i donˋt see the zoom function on the lcd screen. Is there a setting I need to activate in order to see it? help please
I need this hat, yesterday. Where did you get it from?

It’s both cam and lens. They fixed the issue though, not for every lens but they fixed it for the 16-55, 16-80 and 18-120

Haha I took snowboarding photos for like an hour last year. Yah I’m a wedding photographer primarily with a side interest in landscape and travel
Does this lens exposure step if you go from all the way wide to all the way telephoto?
Looking forward to having a play with this lens but the main question is where can I get one of them Fuji Caps from?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rusty boats is a good screen name. Shoot i may even name my first son rusty boats I also noticed you were jumping on a trampoline with .....Rusty springs. Might also make a good name for my second son.
This is my favourite comment on this video. Sorry everyone else
Hey! Do u recommend it for photography or the canon r5 which one has better colors and does the crop sensor really matters ?
Colors are up to you. I prefer Fuji colours, but use a canon R3 and R6 for my specific needs of doing both photo and video at the same time on a wedding day. If I just did landscapes or portraits either would be great

do you like your 90 lens? I’m thinking of buying one.
@@tonyxu8501 does great for portrait shots. F2 helps for low light and good bokeh. Also does well for event shooting like sports if you’re not able to get in close
Am i correct in saying that this is a internal focusing system? While you twisted the lens i did not see the lens extend
Yah it’s all internal. The zoom ring doesn’t physically move the zoom just tells it to zoom
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto thx quite nice! I most of the times do not use zooms because i realy dislike the way the inner tube extends (yes i am that shallow) 😆
Would you use this on a wedding reception with flash ofcourse?
Personally I would go likely use a prime instead. You could use this though
Ok fine. This is video that made me subscribe. And its all in the bounce
Did you test the UFO tracking?
U sold me the damn thing, well done
The exposure issue with stepping, what settings did you use?
Manual settings with everything locked
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto wonder if you used auto iso if it will be smoother transition with exposure
This I am not sure. I don’t have the unit anymore sadly
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto I’ll probably get the lens soon for my own testing. Keep up the good work on your channel!
No f-stop ring?
Without IBIS?🤔
Is the exposure stepping issue there in manual exposure?
Those examples were manual settings. Again, preproduction unit. Hopefully it gets fixed
What camera are u recording with?
Canon r6
Hi! I take karting, drift, motorbike photos and videos. I will buy a single objectives. Do you say “Yeah, this objektive is for you.”? Thank you! 🙏
little odd not to stabilize a lens made for video...
