@@Stockezy Those were sick shots. I hope you were able to give him those photos or your IG for him to look it up. Go EZ on yourself. Blowing out the sky has it's own look to it.
Yes! I really liked the POV nature of this video. Coincidentally I'm watching this on the bus as i travel to New York myself lol. So now I'm your newest subscriber, and thanks for reviewing this lens as I've been considering it myself
@@JeremySchmit57 interesting indeed. That is actually my 3rd favorite lens for street. If this video gets enough attention that will be the next in the series. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙏🏾
Stockezy dude I got all f2 lenses because of you, sold my 56, 90, 16, and 10-24 and kept the 23, 35, 50! Man you don't know how much you've inspired me! Please show us some love with those f2's!
I am here because Jeremy got a notification that you finished your upload. Going to come back and watch it when the Full HD version is available :D Already looks like a fun video!
This guy with lights on his hands - great photos, a new preset - juicy colors, a Guy with a cigar - perfect photo! I think that this lens is perfect for streetphoto.
Love the POV style. Love how your videos aren't about mindless pixel peeping and actually getting out there taking shots and being creative - what photography should be about!
I started this channel because RUclips was oversaturated with pixel peepers. I want people to get inspired to go shoot. Thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video. i switched to fuji just a few week ago and instantly fall in love with those f2 primes. Reminds me old analogue cameras, which I loved and started with.
Okay now I watched it haha! Man, that lens is sexy! Makes me want to travel back in time and get the X-Pro2 instead of the X100F... That shot at 6:09 shows exactly what kind of dynamic you get with a 16mm (24mm FF equivalent). It feels like you are there with them on the street! And that moment at 6:24 was too funny :D Yes for more POV videos!
alright alright alright. Subscribed. I can relate so much to your experience. I started with Fuji and then moving to Leica. I first bought an XT-1 then Xpro2 and then the X100f. Then I finally decided to get an M6 which then pushed me to get an M240. I practically only use my Leicas. It's so natural to shoot with the rangefinder. Great videos man! can't wait to see more of your Leica journey.
This is a geat video and I can't understand why don't you have more. You are great on camera, you have good editing abilities and so so much to say and teach! Please make more!
Thank you for the words of encouragement! You're right, I should be uploading more frequently and I will be! Thanks for watching and the kick in the a**. :)
You mentioned NYC. Greetings from Jersey City your neighbor across the river! I just purchased thr 16mm 2.8 to complete my small prime Fuji lens lineup.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The POV provides a unique perspective for someone like me who isn't a city dweller. It almost makes me want to drive up to NYC and give it a try.
This my first video of yours I seen, insta-subscribed. That dancing man at the beginning was hella cool. Nice shots. I’ve got the same lens on my xpro3.
Awesome video mate! This video really put me over the edge. Buying it now. Btw, that was some smart thinking with the slow shutter speed with the dancer. Brilliant man!
Just got the Fuji 23mm F2.0 and absolutely love it. Now after seeing this, I think the 16mm is next on my shopping list. Great photos especially the slow shutter speed ones of the dancer. Very creative! Keep these type of videos coming👌🏼👍🏼
How do you feel about the 18 f2? I’m deciding between this and the 18 mainly due it s small size and the 18 is a f2 which I rather have than 2.8 for low light but I heard the 18 isn’t such a good lens and it isn’t sharp around the edges while I’ve heard pretty good things about the 16 f2.8.
F4-F8, Shutter Auto, ISO Auto 200-3200 with Min Shutter of 1/500, Zone Focus with AF-C When I run and gun like this. Also Mechanical & Electronic shutter. Hope that helps!
@@Stockezy thanks, always curious how other Fuji Street shooters set the camera and you nailed the focus really well in many of your shots. I'm more of a zone focusing guy but that has its limitations. Haven't used my X-Pro2 much anymore since I got an X100F and X-T3 but it's one fine camera. The 16mm F2.8 seems nice too, I only have the F1.4. For street, I love the 23mm F2 the most hands down. Subscribed by the way. Peace
Nice photos. Great street photography skills! Which shutter speed did you use for freezing the image while walking? Thank you very much. Love your content
Really like this video. Helps me out a lot. I’m doing street photography and I am in search of a wide angle lens. The current camera I’m using is a Fujifilm XT-100. Would you recommend this lens?
Stockezy thanks for the response and the late reaction. I’ve got the lens and enjoying it. Also gonna take a look at the 18 mm f2. If you like, you can check my Unsplash account. Curious what you think about the pictures: unsplash.com/@sijmen89
I really like this kind of POV and approach, it's a good immersive experience to see how the lens work and see how you'll managed with in different situations. Nice series those improvised captures!
You’re stuff is straight up sick!!! I went to school in New York and your photos take me back man! They are real and represent all that New York is! So rad! Definitely checking out more vids on your channel.
Was on the fence about this lens. I shoot a lot of bike life moments and I am close to the riders when I do it, which cuts off that bottom wheel at 35mm (x100f). When I saw your video I knew I had to give it a shot. I appreciate your help with the decision. Keep doing you!
I leave it on the default tracking settings. I believe thats the image of the runner. In most situations I am moving towards my subject or them towards me so it works out pretty well.
Great review. You got some really excellent shots. I really like your street-shooting style -- totally comfortable. (And I dig that colour preset on the shot with the woman's jacket.) New subscriber!
Like everybody else, I really enjoyed the POV style of the video. I'm curious if you were using AF-S or AF-C, and if you were using the shutter button to activate focus or otherwise (AF-L probably).
Hey Drew! When I run and gun like this I use AF-C and Zone focus. With the smaller, newer Fuji lenses it grabs focus pretty fast so if I am close to a subject I just fire and it locks and shoots almost immediately. If someone is a few steps away that is when I will have press and let the AF track them as they get closer.
Great video man, really great energy when you’re shooting. I would have even enjoyed to hear a bit of your thinking when you were composing shots in the street, and how you were approaching scenes. We can pick a bit up through the cool POV. Would love to hear more of your thoughts though!
I like that you can get the full scene of the street. It definitely looks good for some layering and also being a little sneaky with your shots. I love how small the lens is! Great video!
Another great video. I'm on the fence on this lens; mainly because I already have the 16 1.4, but you gave me something to think about. And future POV videos would be cool as well!
I tend to like the F2s, I just don't like carrying anything bulky for the streets. If I was shooting anything professional then 1.4 and big and bulky all day.
Great video. Thanks. You are very good at framing your images from the hip; I always end up with half a head or something like that :-) I already own the 14mm, so I am not really sure I need the 16mm. I guess the main difference would be AF speed and noise.
Thanks, brother! I spent a good amount of time working on aim with my favorite lenses. A good tip for sniping people is to hold the front of the lens when you aim. It helped me a lot. 16mm is def a hard sell if you already have the 14mm. I really need to try that lens out.
First video of yours I’ve watched & best I’ve seen on this lens in action. For me it’s a must to complete my lightweight walk around kit of X-T20, 23, 35 & 50 f2’s, I can wait a couple of months for a used to save some cash. I’d love to see some POV’s of the other f2’s, subscribed & keep up great videos like this one 👍
Awesome freaking video man, hope to see more shots with you using this lens. Really loved your shots. Because of you I decided to jump on the Fuji 50mm f2, which I think is really underrated. Keep it up man, hope you pop out more videos with you shooting and your choices and approaches to composition.
That 50mm f2 is secretly my favorite lens. It's hard to take a bad picture with it and it renders B&Ws beautifully! Glad you're digging it! Thanks for watching brother. I think my next POV will be with that lens.
+++ on the fujicrons! my first was a real summicron 50/2DR on my m3. after fuji arrived, I've added the 23/2, 35/2, 50/2, & the wannabe rokis 12/2 & 8/2.8. despite loving my 16/1.4, I'll likely succumb to the little 16/2.8 adding it to my collection of silver 'crons on my black fujis. not a hardship. great video, just subscribed. thanks.
I was in New York City last weekend, and I was shooting the streets with a Fujifilm Natura S, a point-and-shoot film camera with a 24mm f/1.9 lens. Much like you and the 16mm lens on the X-Pro2, it is definitely wider than my preferred angle of view, but I loved the challenge of getting close to people, even for an environmental portrait. You definitely can't stand across the street and be incognito with a wide-angle lens. I'm glad you had fun with this lens.
Hey, I have the xt3 and the 35mm f2. I do some portraits and travel Photography. I am looking to get another lens, I am strongly thinking between the 16mm 2.8, Rokinon 12mm f2 and the 18-55? What would u suggest
I really disliked the Rokinon 12mm. Too much distortion for my taste. I also don't use zoom lenses for street but the 18-55 is an amazing lens for travel and portrait work. If it's not in your budget to buy a bunch of lenses then a zoom makes a lot of sense.
dude, using the slow shutter speed on the dancer was a smart move!
What wasn't smart was placing him in the sky though. It ended up blowing out the background. Ya live and ya learn! Thanks for watching!
I don't mind blown out highs tho! Reminds me of film. Keep em coming man!
@@Stockezy Loved the last one the most! ))
totally agree, nice creative decision

PoV with the other Fujicrons would be awesome ! Love these kind of videos! Thx @stockezy !
Thank you! What lens do you reckon you'd want to see next?
Stockezy 50mm f2 would be nice. That is not a commun focal length for street in comparison to the 23mm f2 and the 35mm f2.

Thanks for watching!
Wow, amazing photos. All props to the photographer.
In for a POV series. Great seeing how people approach street.
would love to see more of these POV vidoes! great video as usual!
Love the POV series and when you get in there and “ninja the situation”. Yes, do all the lenses.
This guy with lights on his hands - great photos, a new preset - juicy colors, a Guy with a cigar - perfect photo! I think that this lens is perfect for streetphoto.
It works wonderfully in the streets! Thanks for the kind words.

6:13 perfect, great Fuji colors!
some these sneak shots are crazy, awesome
reeeeeeeally nice shots! Love how you captured the dancer
finally some real street photography with this lens
This was a great video. I love how inconspicuous the lens was while you shot on the fly.

Great Vid. Thank you ... and yeah I‘ m on the streets with the new 16f2.8 too 😉
You really put across the feel of the lens... well done
Wow my own heart was beating fast while watching this. You have guts. Nice pics

So damn tempted to get this lens... Great video brother! Nice camera work!
Thoroughly enjoying this lens. Might still be stuck to the camera when you get here.

First photo just incredible ! Thx, love your works.
Would like to see that POV review. I now also have an Xpro1 and am looking for the right lenses to buy.. Great job as always,,,
Thanks brother! 23mm or 35mm is always a good start. I would suggest 23mm though.
Loving the narration and photos. Keep it up man :)
Trying brother! Thanks for watching.
POV is definitely the way to go about street photography videos. There isn't many on RUclips. Great shots and a great video overall!
I am in love with this, I am shooting India, this works a lot better than even 18 mm. The lanes are narrow, this covers a lot more of the story.
That shutter drag was dope
Just got the Fuji 23mm F2.0 and absolutely love it. Now after seeing this, I think the 16mm is next on my shopping list. Great photos especially the slow shutter speed ones of the dancer. Very creative! Keep these type of videos coming👌🏼👍🏼
You got it man! Thanks for watching.
i love the quality of the photo at 11:48. I haven't quite figured out how to get black and white photos to come out the way i want with fuji yet
How do you feel about the 18 f2? I’m deciding between this and the 18 mainly due it s small size and the 18 is a f2 which I rather have than 2.8 for low light but I heard the 18 isn’t such a good lens and it isn’t sharp around the edges while I’ve heard pretty good things about the 16 f2.8.
I really like the 18mm. I think for the price and size of that lens, you can't go wrong. Don't believe the haters. Its a nice piece of glass.
Some nice street photography there! Can you elaborate on your exact settings again pls? Die you use Zone focussing? Regards from Bangkok
F4-F8, Shutter Auto, ISO Auto 200-3200 with Min Shutter of 1/500, Zone Focus with AF-C When I run and gun like this. Also Mechanical & Electronic shutter. Hope that helps!

Awesome video. When u use continuous tracking... Which custom setting do u use... 1,2,3,4,or 5.
I leave it on the default tracking settings. I believe thats the image of the runner. In most situations I am moving towards my subject or them towards me so it works out pretty well.

Please do a POV with all those fujicrons! It was very fun and informative watching you take photos and interact with people
I am going to try and run through all the primes. Maybe the 56 or 50 will be next. Thanks for watching.
great video as always. now i really wanna try fuji
Like everybody else, I really enjoyed the POV style of the video. I'm curious if you were using AF-S or AF-C, and if you were using the shutter button to activate focus or otherwise (AF-L probably).

Great video. Thanks. You are very good at framing your images from the hip; I always end up with half a head or something like that :-) I already own the 14mm, so I am not really sure I need the 16mm. I guess the main difference would be AF speed and noise.
