Depends what you mean by "video"... If you want bokeh (shooting almost wide open) with autofocus, I'm not sure how well it would perform both in terms of smoothness/noise... You might want a video ...

Exactly... reading these comments only reinforces why I made the right choice with Fuji... so many people don't get it, that's ok, it's not the camera system for them. I don't get why you'd want to ...

I wouldn't say vinyl is better, but I prefer it for music I like for serious listening. The restrictions of vinyl force you into a different mode of enjoying the music. I also like to have ...

I would get the 16 1.4... It opens up opportunities for creative shots, low light city scapes, indoor wide angle, etc. I personally think the 23 is too close to be switching all the time, but, ...

This is exactly why I *don't* like using macro for portrait... I was just talking about it in another thread. To me his skin looks greasy, can also see the white heads around the left side of his ...

This is what I do now. It is better this way for a listening session. With music on my phone or computer I am too inclined to switch songs or get distracted by reading or something else. With ...

And as for vinyl. I do collect some, but only for stuff I really like, I find they have outlasted cds that inevitably get scratched and damaged. Many of my burned cds also don't work anymore. The ...

I like fuji for the size, controls and solid collection of prime lenses. This allows me to bring the camera more and have a better shooting experience without diving into menus. Compared to some ...

Well you can definitely "manage" it's just whether it will work for you or not. If I was doing something like an event or wedding, I'd want something to split the gaps. If you are doing more ...

Before zooms became popular and from what I've seen, a 28mm 50mm 135mm kit was really popular in the 60s-70s. I imagine it would have been the 24 instead if it was easier to make, affordable and ...

It makes for a slightly better pairing with the 50 FOV... I think 35/85 or 50/105 both work well together. I'm finding I'm kind of OK with a bigger gap though, b/c I'm always wanting a little wider ...

I came to fuji when both were already out and picked the 35 1.4. I need at least one 1.4 lens in my kit...weather sealing and faster AF over what it already does doesn't really help me. The 35mm ...

For those shots sure...if that’s all you need it to do then yes. They don’t really show off what the lens can do. Usually, a fast 135 equiv is used for flattering upper torso and headshot portraits ...

The other problem is, on the street, the photo can look like you are taking surveillance pictures for an investigator. Longer lens means less context. This isn't quite the same, and I just snagged ...

Full frame is definitely cheap now, personally, there's nothing that would make me go back to carrying a full frame standard dslr or even a crop sensor dslr...both big by fuji mirrorless standards. ...

Yeah that pairing is the more "classic" pairing and is a bit more useful (with 105). I'd say demand for that focal length has to be at least decent, considering Nikon came out with the 105 1.4 to ...

I don’t own the lens but I don’t think it’s a big deal to skip the 50/56. I’m going to talk in ff terms bc it makes sense to me in my head.... I used to be more of a 35/85 shooter, but now I’m more ...

Not sure what you are trying to get out of this "test." ... The cheapest way to do it would be to join some local photo group or photo walk and ask to try it out. Or, just rent one for a few days. ...

The in focus areas can have a clinical look, where you see too many pores on the skin, etc. It’s a problem on shooting portraits with many macro lenses, not just the Fuji. Lenses like the Fuji 56 ...

Well the good thing about Fuji is...you can go small when you want it for convenience or big when you need it. This can’t be said for most other brands. And with Fuji, unlike other brands, the ...
