have to buy a new nd as i need a 82mm. the more i see tests the more i doubt of the quality of each of them, color shifting is the main issue. anyone has tested the simmod ? found only one video on youtube and it looks like a commercial...

did a quick test with fringer and the tamron 28-70 2.8 g2, was pretty good with af

Thx Crop factor will still be x1.5 ?

i am wondering if canon ef-s lenses (canon aps-c lense) would work on the xt3 with the fringer adapter ? i am afraid it won't cover the sensor.

received the sigma. ok i see what you meant, awfull, i wonder how you can manualy focus on this lense. can't believe sigma did such a terrible construction

same here but no real good speedbooster at the moment fuji seems to be too small market for big companies. i've read metabones is working on one but when will it be released...

not a speedbooster but an adapter, problem is no test for video. coming soon he says...

Maybe import in resolve and see how long it needs

am i the only one having banding on this video ?

the ronin s is kinda heavy, the combo might be heavy then for the dec regain you can take the antena off you loose the focus control but it still works as a speedbooster

metabones seems a bit ahead when wide open

well in a perfect world i would like to have that but hey i have to compromise i was looking for a lense that i can use handheld which means stabilized so no fuji for me as the 18-55 doesn't suits me because of its apertures of 4. there is also the fact that i am not really ready to get expensive fuji lenses when i have other cameras such as the bmpcc4k on which i won't be able to use any of the fuji lenses because no adapter exist for X to m43 so i stick with canon mount which is far more versatile than fuji of course i will have to use adapters. maybe i will get a fuji lenses in the future but i have to see what i really need with this camera and start using more. the 17-50 will be used with the bm too as af is not a subject when it comes to this camera

Sure It has nothing to do with fuji af. Would probably need to use It manual but It has stabilization and 2.8 Might answer my needs for handheld

Hmmm heard it is loud but is it not reliable ?

I am thinking getting the sigma 17-50 2.8 Stabilized with canon mount and use It with the fringer. It comes really cheap.

anyone here has the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM ? is it any good for video ? af is good ?

lucky you here in france try finding a kipon ef-fx to rent ? i don't even think anyone would know what it is

you have your way to use this camera fine just understand that some people use this camera for its af which is great. i do a lot of handheld so yes i need af and stabilization, am i the only one ? i doubt it. so for MY use (and i guess i am not the only one that want to use this camera for handheld video) the fuji lenses are not what i need and expect. for the kipon, why spending money on a product that all tests say it is not good for video ? do you buy equipment when all say it is not worth it ? maybe you do but i don't have money to waste. of course you can use manual and i guess you can do it with all cameras right ? i wonder why fuji did put af in this camera then 16-45 2.8 stab would be great yes but stabilized primes you be even better yes there are some artifacts on some lenses, especially in backlight, but you can correct in post and i trust fuji to release great stab primes lenses

As i Said before stabilized zoom why not but try finding one that opens wider than 2.8 Shooting videos at f4 or 5.6 when wide open no thanks Kipon seems to be poorly built and af not so good... You should read reviews about It. It's terrible Cine lenses, if i wanted ciné lenses why using the xt3 when the bmpcc4k Is just fine ?? People buy the xt3 for its versality and the af

license is for every use i think so probably more expensive, maybe too expensive. will soon know, but why not available in resolve then ?

maybe not. it is just a license issue with apple. so it means money money money will blackmagic pay for it...

i am into the fuji because it is a great versatile camera. i do both photography and video. bmpcc4k is video only, not the same use so far i don't know any speedbooster for canon ef to x, fd to x yes but these are old canon lenses (wonder why they did such a speedbooster...) of course there will be a camera with ibis, but hey we cannot always wait 1 or 2 years for the next camera to be released. never sais xt3 is bad, it is great, but it could be a killer if fuji had put ibis in it or had some stabilized lenses. i've been using fuji for a very long time, still have a 645zi so no need to tell me they do great lenses, never said that, just said that when competitors have stabilized prime lenses and a wider range of lenses maybe it is time to do something about it. especially when the x mount is not really widely used.

yes to me that is the main fuji weakness: the lenses. they are really good for autofocus, build quality and sharpness but the lack of stab is a major problem to me they could have compensate with is in the xt3 but they didn't, kinda stupid for a body that is clearly video oriented and the big plus with canon lenses it that you can use them in tons of other equipment, lots of cameras use canon mount and there are lots of adaters i am planning to get the bmpcc4k, i will use some of my canon lenses with a speedbooster, i couldn't use fuji lenses. at least my canon lenses could be usefull for both systems fuji x, so few lenses, almost no compatibility with other systems and no stab they really need to work on that

problem is not crop itself, it is the fact that my focal lengh are not the same. crop is fine as you use the center of the lense. probably will sell my 85 1.2 to buy the 85 1.4 stab and for the tokina i think for wide angles 2.8 is not great so primes are better to me, which means buying new lense and wide angle opening faster than 2.8 and stabilized don't come cheap

good news only problem is the 1.6 crop, i like wide angle
