Hello, This is the official topic for all Colorizer products. My main focus is bringing high-precision Fujifilm Film Simulation LUTs to multiple cameras. The following formats are supported at the moment, click the links for videos and details: Fujifilm X-T3/X-T4 F-Log Sony S-Log2/S-Gamut3.cine Panasonic V-Log L & HLG I also sell ACES IDTs for cameras that are not natively supported by Davinci Resolve: - Fujifilm F-Log/F-Gamut - Nikon N-Log/BT.2020 - Sony S-Log2/S-Gamut3.cine - Z Cam ZLog2 - GoPro Protune These packs include a lot of 3D LUTs simulating the ACES Rec.709 look, so it can be valuable for Premiere users as well. I also have Technical fixes for common color shift issues caused by bad interpretation of certain clips in Premiere. I strongly suggest you check this out if you're a Fujifilm user. As a bonus I created a bunch of free online tools for creating and modifying 3D LUTs, so if you're into this kind of stuff, visit http://colorizer.net. Thank you for your attention, Attila

Attila's work is fantastic. Please do check it out!

Half nutty bloke down the pub. Half heroic legend. Most people would have just taken the money and run. I don't think he really needs to!

XF.

colour science is very personal cripple science is real, objective

Did I have?! XF

Terrible pulsing AF! For whatever reason, the 23 and 50 F2’s seem to suffer much less. Video-centric lenses is a Fuji weakness IMO. Maybe with an XH2, they might make something, but who knows… To tempt me back, I’d need the glass as well as the body and for me right now, somebody else does it better. Dustin, 18-55 then and as I said before, only consider anything else if that doesn’t work for your needs.

@MrSMW, what is the issue with the 35mm f/2? (got it - since I like the 50mm eq. focal lenght - but did not tested it too much; living in a Covid ravaged place does not let too much testing time).

Just to add, when I talk about f4, for me it's more a low light thing than shallow DOF 'issue'. F4 is f4 for light gathering regardless of sensor size (though that one will be debated forever in some quarters) but equivalent to f6 in FF terms re. shallowness of DOF. I'll take a faster aperture over a higher ISO if I can and this for me has always been the issue, the smaller the sensor, but anyway... I'd be tempted to just go 18-55 and ONLY if it flags up any shortcomings, look beyond that. Depends on your needs... I have an f4 zoom for my FF camera and on anything other than a very bright day, it's not for me for indoor use. 2.8's are better/borderline and 1.8's and faster, night and day difference. It also depends on your screen, EVF or LCD resolutions. Not that they directly affect image quality, but how you see things when shooting and f4 at a higher ISO on my S5 vs f1.8 at a much lower ISO on my S1H, again, night and day difference and as you age and your eyesight gets steadily worse, anything we can claw back is a good thing!

For handheld run and gun stuff the 16-80mm f4 is also really good

As you know Dustin, the XT3 was my workhorse for 2 seasons. I would say the outright best AF lens was the 18-55 but for me, as a long end zoom user, f4 was too slow and I didn’t like the variable aperture in principle. The 16-55 was probably the best lens for video native to Fuji. A bit too sharp, but a 1/8th mist would solve that and as they now come in variable ND flavour, this world be my first choice without question, effectively covering from 24-83mm in FF terms. Fave zoom however was the Sigma 18-35 f1.8. A bit chunky, especially with the adaptor and lacking a bit in reach forcing a change to a longer prime when needed, but delivered my best results. Fujis own 23mm and 50mm f2 both good but 35mm f2 not, Avoid the faster primes for anything but manual focus, especially the 56mm f1.2 Best cheap AF lens is Canon’s 50mm f1.8 which costs about 100 $£€. Not the quietest but surprisingly good AF. It would do a little rack dance and then lock on which I could live with. If you can work with a 75mm equivalent focal length, which I could bring a 50-100mm man. Little experience of Viltrox etc but the one unit I had, had a very loose aperture ring which drove me nuts.

It is a nice image, no doubt. I think it's the way it looks so natural even under unforgiving lighting, such as direct sun, that really makes these cameras stand out. FB has a lot of good groups with people posting finished projects and footage on a regular basis. It's a different crowd..

This is that moment, when I realise I've been looking at crushed blacks on my Fuji cameras ever since the X-T3 on my Intel MacBook Pro. Also a big thanks to Colorizer / @Attila Bakosfor donating the LUT for BT.601 to BT.709 conversion.
